Assembly Tip: Loosely tighten all nuts and bolts at first. Fully tighten when the unit is completely assembled.
1. Place the Tow Bar Tubes under the front of TCT Cart Frame. Take four 1/4” x 2” Hex Head Bolts, place a 1/4” Flat Washer on each bolt, insert the bolts into the first two frame holes on each side. Insert the bolt through the Frame holes and through the Tow Bar Tubes, add one more 1/4” Flat Washer to each bolt and secure with 1/4” Nylock Nuts. Insert 1” Tube Plugs into front holes of Tow
Bar Tubes. See Figure 1.

Sprayer Calibration
Proper calibration is one of the most important parts of spraying. Properly calibrated sprayers will save you both time and money.
How to determine the gallons per minute (per nozzle).
GPM=GPA x MPH x W
5940
GPMGallons Per Minute
GPAGallons Per Acre
MPHMiles Per Hour
WNozzle spacing (in boom spraying)
This formula is useful to determine which tip to use on your boom, especially when your nozzle spacing is
different from the standard 20” or 40” nozzle spacing on Precision Products, Inc. Sprayers. For example: You know you want to travel 3 MPH., apply the chemical at a rate of 20GPA. The nozzle spacing’s are 33” on cen-
ter. By using the formula you will determine how many gallons per minute (GPM) per tip will be required to give you the correct application.
Example: 20 GPA x 3 MPH = 60 x 33” (nozzle spacing) = 1980 divided by 5940 + .333 GPM
You have now determined that you need a tip with GPM of .333. Find the type of tip you want to use. For
example, an 80 degree flat fan spray tip and then determine what pressure you plan to spray at. Let’s say 30
PSI. How do you check this calibration? By using this formula.
GPA = 5940 x GPM (Per Nozzle)
MPH x W
Multiply 5940 x .333 GPM + 1783.8. Multiply 3 MPH x 33 (nozzle spacing) = 99. Divide 1783.8 by 99 = 18.06 gallons per acre.
By simply adjusting your pressure or your tractor speed, you will obtain the 20 GPA rate.
The second formula is used to determine whether an old tip (one on which you cannot identify the number) is still spraying the right amount of chemicals. You can determine how many GPM a tip is spraying, with the use of a catch jar and stop watch. Hold the jar under the tip so you catch the total spray for one minute. The amount in the jar indicates the GPM.
Calibrate your sprayer carefully. If your tips are worn, replace them. New tips are a fraction of the cost of us­ing either too much or too little chemicals. Also, you can use these formulas to help determine if the intended pump has the volume capacity to meet your spraying needs.

Operation
Operating power is obtained from a 12 volt Battery . Be sure to connect the red to the positive (+) source and attach the black to the negative(-) source.
IMPORTANT: Before spraying chemicals, fill the tank full of plain water to allow familiarization with the sprayer and to prevent the waste of expensive chemicals.
Maintenance Instructions
This Sprayer has been carefully designed and built and should provide many years of reli­able service if properly cared for.
Keeping the sprayer clean and dry will prolong the unit’s life.
Grease Wheels at regular intervals, at least once every six months, more frequently if used regu­larly.
Should rust develop, sand lightly then paint area with enamel paint.
Check tire pressure at regular intervals. Proper inflation will prolong the life of tires (see side of tire for inflation amount.
Cleaning and Storage
Most spray materials are highly corrosive. The most important aspect of long dependable service from your sprayer is a thorough cleaning immediately following each use. In addition, the residue of one type of chemical could cause an undesirable effect when a different chemical is used for a different purpose.
The most effective cleaning method is to pump sev­eral rinses of clean water through the tank, pump, hoses, boom, spray gun, etc. A neutralizing agent such as a solution of Nutra-Sol, a detergent or household ammonia as recommended by the chemi­cal manufacturer can assist in removal of a persis­tent chemical. When the system is thoroughly cleaned, drain the tank, suction line, pump, hoses, etc.
1. Wash and flush out sprayer after completion of each phase of your program. Flush out sprayer when changing chemicals if there is a possibility of the chemicals being incompatible. Use of a deter­gent is advisable if the chemical manufacture does not make specific cleaning recommendations. Flush system completely, including nozzles. Never use metal objects to open clogged nozzles.
2. Clean sprayer thoroughly before storing at the end of the spraying season. Permanent type anti­freeze added to the final rinse will leave a rust inhibiting film on parts of the sprayer.
