CAUTION

Before proceeding with any spraying operation, the operator should be
thoroughly familiar with starting and stopping the machine and with all the
operating controls. If you are operating the machine for the first time, exercise the
machine through its full operational sequences from a position of full visibility of
the machine before operating the machine fully remote. This is also a good idea
for experienced operators who may be operating a new machine or who may be
reactivating a machine after repairs or a period of inactivity. Refer to the
operation section for starting and stopping instructions.

COLT-4 Quick Start Checklist

A. Engine

1) Please check oil level in Colt-4 Honda engine with indicator in dipstick before
each use

2) Engine is a 4-cycle engine, and thus uses only STRAIGHT GASOLINE, please
do NOT mix any oil with the gasoline.

3) Oil is 10-30 oil

4) Make sure RED on off button is in the ON position before starting, and red
choke lever is used during warm up only

B. Compressor

1) Please change compressor filter when it is no longer "orange looking", but
turns brown which is an indication of clogged filtration

C. Chemical flow

1) After starting the engine, turn the spray on/off lever to ON to begin the siphon
from the tank, please turn the spray knob to the OFF position to stop spray and
"clear out the filter" of any remaining chemical in the lines.
(see page 4 language from the manual below)

2) The Colt -4 comes with 4 orifice disc's for various flow. The 1 ounce per
minute disc (#16 disc is imprinted on the orifice disc) is in the machine when
shipping from the factory. Also included are #22 (1.5 ozs. per minute), #24 discs
(2 ozs. per minute).

From Page 4 in the manual:
Rate of formulation flow is controlled by the orifice disc which is located in the small hex
nut chamber screwed into the valve body, which is directly under the aerosol control
valve. An orifice that gives approximately 1 Oz/Min (#16) flow rate with petroleum
distillate base materials comes installed in the unit. 1 1/2 Oz/Min (#22) and 2 Oz/Min
(#24) orifice discs are located in the round, white plastic container located on the top of
the belt guard, just behind the nozzle. Additional discs for other flow rates are available.
Using a larger orifice size will increase the formulation flow rate or keep the flow rate the
same when using a more viscous material.

"Spray at dawn or dusk when mosquitoes are most active."
"Always refer to the insecticide label for mixing instructions."
"Always turn off the aerosol before stopping the engine."
