HELPFUL HINTS: READ THE DIRECTIONS BEFORE ASSEMBLY

THIS SPRAYER COMES PARTIALLY ASSEMBLED, REQUIRING YOU TO INSTALL THE WHEELS, HANDLE ASSEMBLY,
SPRAY GUN HOLDER, AND CONTROL ROD. IT SHOULD TAKE APPROXIMATELY 15 MINUTES WITH THE USE OF TWO
7/16” WRENCHES AND 1 PAIR OF PLIERS.

5 Your sprayer is designed to be pushed at three miles per hour, which is a brisk walking speed. Slower or faster speeds

will change the spray patterns and output volumes that you will achieve.

5 Clean your sprayer tank thoroughly after each use. Wash with clean water and push sprayer several feet to evacuate any

residual materials until you see clean water. Do this in a safe area as described in the chemical supplier directions.

5 Gears are permanently lubricated at the factory. Do not open the gearbox or dirt may enter.
5 Check all hose connections regularly to ensure they remain tight.
5 If unit fails to spray on initial use, or leaks from the nozzle, remove the cap from the top of the DCV, wipe off the top of

DCV body to remove any debris, and then replace the cap and tighten.

5 Coat all metal surfaces (inside & outside of chassis) with light oil or silicon spray to help prevent corrosion.

5 When the tank is empty, PULL THE SPRAYER BACKWARD to the designated cleaning or storage area to prevent

damage that can occur with a dry pump.

How to use ~ Walk behind spraying

Practice before use

It is recommended for rst time users of the machine that the user familiarizes him/her self with

the workings of the sprayer. By simply putting water in the spray tank and spraying it out onto a
dry tarmac surface the operator will very quickly familiarize themselves with the workings of the
machine. Make sure the spray tank is then emptied of water before further use.
Make sure the handlebar is set right for the size of the operator. There are three position options
on the upper handle for different user heights. By having the handle in the correct position for
the individual user it will make pushing the machine simpler and make spray accuracy easier to
achieve.

; Choose the correct nozzle of the three nozzle options that is suitable for the product being

applied. (See calibration chart above)

; Ensure the Spray (ON) / Transport (OFF) lever on the handlebar is in the Transport position.

The Transport position is with the lever over to the right side when standing behind the
handlebars of the machine.

; Make sure the tank is clean and there is no chance of remnants or deposits from a previous

spray task being left in the tank.

; With the tank clean ll the tank with the required volume of liquid for the designated spray

task, making sure the product being used is mixed and being applied in accordance with the
manufacturers instructions.

; With the control lever is in the Transport (closed position) the machine can be safely pushed to the area where spraying is to be

carried out.

; Locate the sprayer at the point at which spraying needs to commence. Lift the machine up off the two feet, so the body of the

machine is parallel with the ground (important see drawing on next page). To spray simply roll the control lever (ON/OFF) over to
the left side (SPRAY POSITION), and walk forward at a brisk walking speed 2 to 3 MPH is recommended.

; To stop the spray roll the ON/OFF lever back to the right side (TRANSPORT POSITION). NOTE: When the Spray/Transport

lever is to the right side (TRANSPORT POSITION) and the machine is being pushed, the pump is pumping liquid out of the
tank and circulating it back into the tank. This circulation provides agitation and helps keep liquids that are mixed with water in
suspension while walking the sprayer to and from the area being treated.

For best results keep enough

liquid in the tank to ensure

the pump supply line remains

lled. Hills and rough

ground can create a “wave
effect” in the tank that will

cause the pump to have an

inconsistent spray or to lose

prime. If this occurs, turn the

control lever to TRANSPORT

and push a few feet to

re-establish the prime and

continue from where you

stopped.

Technical spray information and how to ensure accuracy

The S25 SPRAY-PRO Mark III has an adjustable height nozzle that offers a spray width
from approximately 3 feet/.9 meters to 5 feet / 1.5 meters.

Spray Width Adjustment

You can adjust the spray width of the S25, which will change the application coverage,
by moving the Adjustable DCV holder up or down. To use, loosen the knob located
on the front of the skirt, and slide the DCV & Nozzle assembly up/down to the desired
spray width or to a position indicated on the Application Chart on the previous page, then
tighten knob.

The SPRAY-PRO Teejet TF nozzles are designed to “feather” at the edges to allow the
second pass to “feather in,” and so provide uniform coverage. The area of “feather” or
overlap, is approximately 15% of the spray width at the edges, for a total of 30% over the
two edges/ends of the spray pattern. To maximize uniform coverage the second pass over the area
should allow for the 15% “feather” or overlap.

Ensure accuracy

It is important that the S25 SPRAY-PRO sprayer is pushed in a
manner that keeps the spray head parallel to the ground at all times, so that the spray
nozzle is constantly kept at the same correct height. Keeping the height of the nozzle
constantly parallel to the ground ensures the nozzle will spray to its stipulated spray

FEATHERED-EDGE

application cover. If the sprayer is pushed at a downward angle and the nozzle tip is
nearer to the ground, the spray width will be reduced and over application will occur. In
the reverse situation of the spray nozzle height being increased by pushing the sprayer at
an upward angle the nozzle fan will be wider, the spray width will becoming inaccurate,
under application will likely occur. To ensure spray width accuracy it is important that
the handlebar height is set right for the individual user, and the operator is aware that the
sprayer is pushed in a manner that keeps the nozzle constantly parallel with the ground.

2X RATE

PATH IS

BOTH WAYS

FEATHERED-EDGE

Keeping the top of the tank parallel with the ground is a good guide.

Most applications will only require
one pass of up/back (1X Rate). When
higher application rates are required a
cross pattern (2X Rate) as shown above
should be used.

After use

1. Empty any unused contents out of the spray tank. The S25 SPRAY-PRO tank has been designed
to easily empty and clean. Dispose of the tank contents and all washings in accordance

with the manufacturer’s disposal instructions on the product that has been used.

2. Wash out the tank thoroughly using clean water and or a preparatory tank
cleaner. Make sure that the nozzle and spray gun (if included) are thoroughly
washed as well. To wash through the pipework to the spray nozzle, add
an additional 1/2 gallon or 2 liters of clean water to the tank and wash this
through the nozzle by pushing the sprayer over a safe area for the purpose of
disposal of washings.

3. Empty all water out of the sprayer making sure no water is left in the pump
over winter - do not allow to freeze, unless you have setup the S25 to operate
in freezing temperatures using an Ice Melt or snow pre-treatments.

Maintain the wheel knurled pins regularly by cleaning any debris or dirt

To aid accuracy use a proprietary spray dye indicator which allows the operator
to see where they have sprayed. Contact your local landscape supplier for a
recommendation.

from the Drive Wheel axle area. Keep knurled pins well lubricated to
prevent seizure. An Extra set is included!
