KNOW YOUR SPRAYER

Read this owner's manual and safety rules before operating your sprayer,

Compare the illustrationbelow with your sprayer to familiarize yourself with the various controls and their locations.

BYPASS VALVE

ADJUSTABLE SPRAY

GUN NOZZLE ON=OFF PUMP SWITCH ON=OFF BOOM VALVE

ON-OFF PUMP SWITCH -- Turns the pump motor on or off.

ADJUSTABLE SPRAY GUN NOZZLE -- Adjusts the spray from a cone shaped fine mist to a straight stream.

BYPASS VALVE -- Controls the operating pressure of the boom or spray gun.

ON-OFF BOOM VALVE --Turns the boom nozzles on or off.

BEFORE STARTING

, It is important to test the boom and spray gun with

plain water before using chemicals. This will enable

you to check the sprayer for leaks and to set the

spray pattern and nozzle pressure. If a leak should

occur, thread tape may be used to better seal the

leaking fitting.

HOW TO USE YOUR SPRAYER

BEFORE STARTING

it is important to test the boom and spray gun with plain

water before using chemicals. This will enable you to

check the sprayer for leaks and to set the spray pattern

and nozzle pressure, if a leak should occur, thread tape

may be used to better seal the fitting.

ON-OFF SWITCH

This switch is connected in line to the wiring assembly and

is used by the operator to turn the pump motor on or off.

PUMP PRESSURE SWITCH

The pump is equipped with a pressure switch. The

pressure switch senses outlet pressure of the pump

and will turn off the electrical power to the pump when

it exceeds a predetermined high pressure point. If the

flow demand is very low, the pump may reach this high

pressure point and the switch will cause "cycling" (the

pump cycles on and off rapidly). This is not a problem

unless the pump is subject to continuous cycling within

one second intervals for long periods of time.

ON-OFF ADJUSTMENT OF BOOM NOZZLES

The boom valve on the "Y" fitting controls flow to the

boom nozzles. It should be either completely open or

completely closed. The boom operating pressure can be

controlled using the bypass valve on the "Y" fitting.

ADJUSTING SPRAY GUN NOZZLE

Turn the nozzle on the spray gun to adjust the spray from

a cone shaped fine mist to a straight stream. Control

the spray gun operating pressure with the bypass valve

on the "Y" fitting. Maximum spray gun pressure can be

attained when the boom is shut off.

SETTING THE BOOM FOR SPRAYING

The correct positioning of the boom places the nozzles

approximately 40" apart and 14" above the ground. This

gives a spray width of approximately 80" with a slight

center overlap. See figure 11.

1. Slide the boom bars out to the ends of the slots.

2. Swivel the boom bars until the nozzles are

approximately 14" above the ground.

3. Make sure the nozzles are adjusted so that the

openings point straight down.

USING THE SPRAYER

1. Determine the application rate (gallons per 1,000

sq. feet or gallons per acre) based on the chemical

manufacturers recommendations. Use this rate

to help select the tractor speed in the following

instructions.

2. Determine the approximate square footage of the

area to be sprayed and estimate the number of

gallons required. This can help avoid unneeded

solution left in the tank.

3. Determine the appropriate speed at which to travel,

based on the recommended application rate. Use the

table on page 10.

4. To determine the throttle setting for attaining the

appropriate speed, mark off 100, 200 and 300 feet

intervals. The speed chart at the bottom of page

10 indicates the number of seconds it takes to

travel these distances. Set the throttle and, with a

running start, travel the distances in the number of

seconds indicated by the speed chart. Once you have

determined the throttle and gear settings needed,

mark the throttle location so that you can easily

resume the same speed after stopping.

5. Add the chemical solution to the tank, following the

product instructions.

6. Drive to the starting place for spraying. Set the boom

in position for spraying. Set the throttle at the position

determined in step 4. Flip the sprayer's in-line switch

to the "ON" position to start spraying.

7. Stay clear of flowers, shrubs and evergreen trees

when spraying weed control solutions to prevent

contact of the solution with these sensitive plants.

CHECK FOR LOOSE FASTENERS CLEANING THE STRAINERS

• Before each use make a thorough visual check of

the sprayer for any bolts and nuts which may have

loosened. Retighten any loose bolts and nuts.

FLUSH THE TANK

Remove any solution left in tank. Fill the sprayer

part way with water, start the sprayer and allow

clear water to be pumped through the plumbing

system and out through the boom assembly and the

handgun. Use the handgun to thoroughly wash all

internal parts of the tank, the outside of the tank and

the boom.

Refill the tank about half full with plain water and

a chemical neutralizer and repeat the cleaning

instructions above. Flush the entire sprayer with

the neutralizing agent. Follow the chemical

manufacturers instructions for disposal of all wash or

rinsing water.

At least once a season, clean the strainer in the end

of the intake hose at the bottom of the tank. Remove

the nylon swivel nut from the hose, pull out the screen

and flush it with clear water.

At least once a season, clean the strainers in the

boom nozzles. Remove the nozzle, pull out the

screen and flush it with clear water.

LUBRICATION

Apply a few drops of oil to the wheel hubs at least

once a year.

STORAGE RECOMMENDATIONS

Drain all water out of the sprayer, paying special

attention to the pump and handgun. These items

are especially prone to damage from chemicals and

freezing weather.

iMPORTANT: Do not allow chemicals to sit in pump for

extended times of idleness. Some chemicals will damage

the pump valve if allowed to soak untreated for a length

of time. Always flush the pump with water after each use.

Follow the procedures in the Maintenance section for

flushing and disposal.

The sprayer should be winterized before storage

by pumping a 50-50 solution of water and R.V.

antifreeze through the entire plumbing. Proper care

and maintenance will prolong the life of the sprayer.

PROBLEM CAUSE

Pump motor cycles on and off rapidly. System pressure is reaching maximum

(OK) for short periods of time. setting of pump's pressure switch.

Pressure too low Bypass valve open too far.

Tank strainer dirty.

Nozzle strainers dirty.

Nozzles set too low.

Nozzles donlt po!nt straight down.

Pressure OK but boom spray weak

Boom spray pattern does not overlap

enough in the middle

CORRECTION

Decrease the system pressrure by

increasing the opening of the bypass

valve.

Decrease opening of bypass valve.

Remove strainer and clean.

Remove strainers and clean.

Adjust boom arms. See page _.

Rotate nozzle open!ng down.
