Liquid Spray System Operating Instructions

1. Read all instructions before operating. Always
wear hand, eye, and skin protection when
working with de-icing chemicals. Make sure
everyone is standing clear of liquid spray system
before operating.

2. Inspect all plumbing for leaks.

3. Open ball valve (#WSE10) at the reservoir.

4. Make sure reservoir has adequate supply

of clean de-icing liquid. Do not operate pump
without liquid.

5. Before turning the cab controller on, turn the
black speed control knob counter clockwise until
it stops to set the pump at the slowest speed.

6. To energize system, turn red power button to
illuminate LCD screen “on” position.

7. Increase pump speed to desired liquid spray
application rate by turning black knob clockwise.

8. If the red low pressure warning light/alarm
comes on, the reservoir is empty or the pump is
off. Do not operate pump without liquid. Note:

Low pressure light and alarm will sound each
time system is started. This is normal and
occurs until sufficient pressure is achieved to
open pressure switch (turning off light/buzzer).

9. Close ball valve (#WSE10) at the reservoir
when not in use.

breather to check for adequate spring pressure
or binding

PLUMBING:

-Inspect hoses/fittings/ball valve for leaks,
cracks, looseness, chafing, binding etc.
FILT E R:

-Remove and clean filter element every 8 to 10
hours or as needed depending on how clean
de-icing liquid is

PUMP-PRESSURE SWITCH & ENCLOSURE:

-Inspect wiring for wear and loose or corroded
connections

-Inspect door and gasket to prevent corrosion

NOZZLES:

-Inspect operation for even spray pattern.
Remove and clean as needed

CAB CONTROLLER:

-Inspect lights, switch, and flow control knob

-Inspect wire harness and connections for wear

STORAGE:

-Store inside to prevent freezing

-Drain liquid de-icer from tank/s and hoses
when not in use for more than two days or
during extremely low temperatures

-RV anti-freeze or windshield washer fluid should
be run through the system for several minutes
to flush de-icer from the system to prevent
component freezing especially for end of season
