This will start solution spraying from the tips of the boom. The pressure will decrease slightly when the boom is spraying.. Adjust the pressure by turning the "ONtOFF' valve lever on the bypass line valve. Read the operating instructions and Initially begin spraying by closing the 'bypass' valve (this is the center ON/OFF valve located at the center port of your manifold assembly) and opening the boom line valve (this is the 'other' valve on the manifold). This will enable the air in the line to be eliminated (purged) through all the tips, while building pressure When everything tests al! right (no leaks, & good pressure), add the desired chemicals to the mixture and water combination and start your spraying operation Adjust the pressure and spray as you did in the testing procedure. Conditions of weather and terrain must be considered when setting the sprayer. Do not spray on windy days,, Protective clothing must be worn in some cases Be sure to read the chemical label(s) correctlyl WARNING: Some chemicals wilt damage the pump valves if allowed to soak untreated for a length of time! ALWAYS thoroughly flush the pump with water after use. DO NOT allow chemicals to sit in the pump for extended times of idleness. Follow the chemical manufacturer's instructions on disposal of al! waste water from the sprayer Operation Your sprayer is equipped with (2) ONIOFF switches. One is on the wire assembly that you hook up to your baflery, the other is on the pump itself, on the opposite end of the pressure switch. The "J' is the "ON" position and the "o"is the "OFF" position for the switches. Make sure both switches are depressed in the "-" position for operation. In addition to the ON/OFF switch, the pump is equipped with an electronic pressure switch that is factory pre-set for it to shut off at 60 ps.i.. This switch assembly is the 'square box' on the head portion of the pump. Always fill the tank with a desired amount of water first, and then add the chemical slowly, mixing as you pour the chemical into the tank. You may use the handgun to spray into the solution in order to mix the chemical and water.. The pumping system draws solution from the tank, through the strainerlfilter, and to the pump..The pump forces the solution under pressure to the handgun andtor boom no771es • Open the handgun by squeezing the handle lever - Rotating the adjustable nozzle tip on the handgun will change the tip pattern from a straight stream to a cone pattern (finer mist).

Once you know how much you are going to spray, then determine (from the tip chart) the spraying pressure (PSi), and the spraying speed (MPH). Determining the proper speed of the pulling vehicle can be done by marking off 100, 200, & 300 feet. The speed chart indicates the number of seconds it takes to travel the distances. Set the throttle and with a running start, travel the distances. Adjust the throttle until you travel the distances in the number of seconds indicated by the speed chart. Once _/oOU have reached the throttle setting needed, mark the throttle cation so you can stop and go again, reh_rning to the same speed.

After use, fill the sprayer tank part way with water.. Start the sprayer and allow the clear water to be pumped through the plumbing system and out through the spray nozzles Refill the tank about half full with plain water and use a chemical neutralizer, such as 'Nutra-Sol', or equivalent, and repeat cleaning instructionsabove.. A mix of water and some detergent, such as 'Dawn' dish soap would be a sufficient alternative. Flush the entire sprayer with the neutralizingtcieaning agent, then flush out one more time with plain water. Follow the chemical manufacturer's disposal instructionsof all wash or rinsing water. For the boom, if applicable, remove the tips and screens from the nozzle assemblies. Wash these components thoroughly with water or cleaning solution appropriate for the chemical being used Blow out the orifice clean, and dry. If orifice remains clogged, clean it with a fine bristle (NOT WIRE) brush, or with a toothpick.. Do not damage the orifice Water rinse and dry tips before storing. DO NOT USE PUMP IN AN EXPLOSIVE ENVIRONMENT. FLAMMABLE DO NOT USE TO PUMP FLUIDS, GASOLINE, KEROSENE, Winter FUEL, OIL, ETC. Storage Drain all water out of your sprayer, paying special attention to the pump, handgun, and valve(s). These items are especially prone to damage from chemicals and freezing weather The sprayer should be winterized before storage by pumping a solution of RV antifreeze through the entire plumbing system.. This antifreeze solution should remain in the plumbing system during the winter months When spring time comes and you are preparing your sprayer for the spray season, rinse the entire plumbing system out, clearing the lines of the antifreeze solution Proper care and maintenance will prolong the life of your sprayer. Troubleshootinq a 2.1 g.p.m. Pump: Pump will NOT run: - Check inline fuse on the wires on the pump If blown, replace with new fuse. (7..5 Amp mini-blade fuse #5157205) - Make sure BOTH on/off switches are in the 'on' position (-) - Make sure you 12 volt source (battery) is fully charged Insure a tight connection at the battery clips If none of the above will work, try pullingwire terminal "A" off of the spade terminal of the pressure switch, and cross it over and touch terminal "B".. (You will need to remove the pressure switch cap before doing this) If your pump runs when you do this, you know you will need to replace your pressure switch Another thing you can try is to take apart the switch box on the lead wire assembly (#5274443) with the (2) phillips head screws, and 'hot-wire' it together Take the (2) wires that are screwed to the rocker switch, off of the switch and twist them together. This will insure you are getting the full 12 voltsto the pump if your pump runs after doing this, you will know that your lead wire assembly needs to be replaced. Pump runs, but does not prime: - Check line strainer (screen) at the inlet location, at the tank You will need to unscrew the knuded nut to access this screen.. (see exploded view later in this manual) The ON/OFF valve should be closed while performing this, to insure you do not lose any solution. Periodically take the screen at this location out and clean it.. - Make sure the bypass fine valve is closed, to allow the pressure to build up in your system.. - Unscrew the head portion of your pump and remove the check valve assembly from inside.. You need to make sure the O-Ring comes out with this piece as well. (See the exploded view to help identifythese components) These pieces can be cleaned which, in most cases, will help restore some, if not most, of your prime. Soak this check valve in a solution of hot, soapy water.. "Dawn" brand dish soap works well for this A little bit of'scrubbing' with perhaps an old toothbrush may be required to actually break up any build-up that may be on the check valve. Rinse off the pieces and replace them back into your pump Reassemble the pump.
