• At this time tighten all bolts starting with the bolts in gure 2, then the bolts in gure 3.

• Install the drain in the rear of the tank as shown in gure 4. Place a 3/4" garden hose gasket onto the drain body and insert the drain body out through the hole in rear of the tank. Outside the tank, assemble

the nylon washer and then the nylon nut onto the

drain body. Tighten the nut securely enough to prevent leaking, being careful not to damage the plastic parts. Place the O-ring inside the nylon cap and screw the cap onto the end of the drain body.

• Assemble the boom bars to the boom mount bracket using two 5/16" x 1-1/4" carriage bolts, tooth lock washers (between the bar and bracket), 5/16" at washers and knobs. The boom connecting hose should extend upward. See gure 6.

• To connect the wire harness to the tractor, attach the red wire to the positive post on the battery or to the "HOT" connection on a tractor switch or ammeter. The brown wire may be grounded or connected to the negative battery post. See gures 9 and 10.

• Slide a 3/8" hose clamp onto the boom connecting hose. Place the end of the hose through the conduit clamp (attached to the pump) and then slide a second 3/8" hose clamp onto the hose. Leave hose clamps loose for now. See Figure 8.

• Push the hose onto the hose adapter in the end of the "On-Off" valve. Tighten the hose clamp around the hose and adapter. See gure 8.

• Position the valve and hose clamp up against the

conduit clamp. Slide the other hose clamp against the

other side of the conduit clamp. Tighten the clamp without collapsing the hose. See gure 8.

• Slide the coiled hose clamp onto the spray gun hose

and then push the hose onto the hose adapter on the

1/4" tee tting. Tighten the hose clamp around the hose and adapter. See gure 8.

• Snap the spray gun into the clips on the front of the tank. (The large clip holds the spray gun handle and the small clip holds the wand.) Refer to gure 7.

IMPORTANT: This sprayer should be connected to 12 volt batteries only!

KNOW YOUR SPRAYER

Read this owner's manual and safety rules before operating your sprayer.

Compare the illustration below with your sprayer to familiarize yourself with the various controls and their locations.

ON-OFF SWITCH Turns pump/motor on or off. ON-OFF VALVE Turns the ow on or off from the pump

to the boom nozzles.

BOOM ARM Swivels up and down and adjusts in and

BEFORE STARTING It is important to test the boom and spray gun with

plain water before attempting actual spraying. This will enable you to check the sprayer for leaks and to set the spray pattern and nozzle pressure. If a leak should occur, thread tape may be used to better seal the tting.

PUMP PRESSURE SWITCH

The pump is equipped with a pressure switch. The

pressure switch senses outlet pressure of the pump and will turn off the electrical power to the pump at a

predetermined high pressure point (35 PSI). If the ow

demand is very low, the pump may reach this high

pressure point and the switch will cause "cycling" (the pump cycles on and off rapidly). This is not a problem unless the pump is subject to continuous cycling within

one second intervals for long periods of time.

ON-OFF ADJUSTMENT OF BOOM NOZZLES

The sprayer is equipped with an "On-Off" valve for the boom which allows the ow to the boom nozzles to be

shut off.

out to obtain proper nozzle positioning. SPRAY GUN Unhooks from tank for spraying shrubs, small trees or areas inaccessible to the towed sprayer.

ADJUSTING SPRAY GUN NOZZLE

Turn the nozzle on the spray gun to adjust the spray from a cone shaped ne mist to a straight stream. Maximum gun pressure is attained with the ON-OFF valve shut off.

SETTING THE BOOM FOR SPRAYING

The correct positioning of the boom places the nozzles approximately 40" apart and 14" above the ground. This gives a spray width of approximately 80" with a slight center overlap. See gure 11.

a. Slide the boom bars out to the ends of the slots. b. Swivel the boom bars until the nozzles are approximately 14" above the ground. c. Make sure the nozzles are adjusted so that the

openings point straight down.

HOW TO USE YOUR SPRAYER

• Determine the approximate square footage of the area to be sprayed. Use this amount to estimate the number of gallons that will be required, based on product recommendations. This can help avoid unneeded solution left in the tank.

• Determine the application rate (gallons per 1,000 sq. feet or gallons per acre) based on the chemical

manufacturers recommendations.

• Use the tip chart on page 9 to determine what ground

speed will achieve the recommended application rate.

• To determine the throttle setting for attaining the desired ground speed, mark off 100, 200 and 300 feet intervals. The speed chart at the bottom of page 9 indicates the number of seconds it takes to

travel these distances. Set the throttle and, with a

running start, travel the distances in the number of seconds indicated by the speed chart. Once you have

determined the throttle and gear settings needed,

mark the throttle location so that you can easily

resume the same speed after stopping.

• Add the chemical solution to the tank, following the

product instructions.

• Drive to the starting place for spraying.

• Set the boom in position for spraying.

• Set the throttle at the position determined in the 4th step. Reach back and ip the pump/motor switch to the "ON" position to start spraying.

• Stay clear of owers, shrubs and evergreen trees

when spraying weed control solutions to prevent contact of the solution with these sensitive plants.

ATTENTION!

Do not allow chemicals to sit in pump for extended

times of idleness. Some chemicals will damage the

pump valve if allowed to soak untreated for a length of time. Always ush the pump with water after each use. See the instructions for cleaning the tank in the maintenance section for ushing and disposal of

chemicals.

CAUTION: Wear eye protection, gloves

and protective clothing when handling

and working with lawn chemicals.

MAINTENANCE/STORAGE

CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITIES

• Read and follow the maintenance schedule and the maintenance procedures listed in this section.

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

Fill in dates as you

complete regular service.

Check for loose fasteners X

Clean tank X Lubrication X

Before each use

Every season

After each use

Before storage

CHECK FOR LOOSE FASTENERS

• Before each use make a thorough visual check of the sprayer for any bolts and nuts which may have loosened. Retighten any loose bolts and nuts.

CLEANING TANK

• After use, ll the tank part way with water, start the sprayer and allow clear water to be pumped through the plumbing system and out through the boom assembly and the handgun. Use the handgun to thoroughly wash all internal parts of the tank, the outside of the tank and the boom.

• Rell the tank about half full with plain water and a chemical neutralizer and repeat the cleaning instructions above. Flush the entire sprayer with the neutralizing agent. Follow the chemical manufacturers

instructions for disposal of all wash or rinsing water.

LUBRICATION

• Oil the wheels at least once a season.

CLEANING STRAINERS

• Periodically clean the strainer in the end of the intake hose at the bottom of the tank. Remove the nylon swivel nut from the hose, pull out the screen and ush

it with clear water.

• Periodically clean the strainers in the boom nozzles. Remove the nozzle, pull out the screen and ush it

with clear water.

STORING

• Drain all water out of the sprayer, paying special attention to the pump and handgun. These items

are especially prone to damage from chemicals and

freezing weather.

• The sprayer should be winterized before storage by pumping a 50-50 solution of water and R. V. antifreeze through the entire plumbing. Proper care and

maintenance will prolong the life of the sprayer.
