Liquid Spray System Operating Instructions

CAUTION

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.
