Always read and follow all chemical cautions or handling and usage instructions supplied by the chemical manufacturer. Remember, many chemicals are considered hazardous.

Dispose of chemical containers as instructed on chemical label.

Inspect equipment for loose screws, and damage to parts before starting operation.

Check connections of spray hose, nozzle, etc., for leakage.

Insure proper ventilation when you operate the equipment in a greenhouse or other enclosed area.

Dilute and prepare chemicals in accordance with chemical manufacturers instruction.

Make sure the covers of chemical tank and fuel tank are secured.

The DRAMM POWER SPRAYER comes with an Owner's / Operator's Manual and a Warranty

Registration Card. Assembly and attachment of NOZZLE, INTAKE HOSE, BYPASS HOSE, DIS-

CHARGE HOSE are required.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

Locate and identify all the components (see sketch)

8

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

1) Check for loose parts.

2) Connect hoses to pump as shown below. Connect discharge hose first, then bypass hose, and then intake hose. Then connect discharge hose to applicator (spray gun, spray wand, etc.).

DISCHARGE HOSE

INTAKE HOSE

BYPASS HOSE

3) Before starting, make sure the pickup or intake hose is submerged in water. The water provides lubrication for the pump and will prevent damage to the pump.

4) Check the engine oil level. Engine should be stopped and in a level position. Remove the oil filler cap/dipstick and wipe clean. Insert and remove the dipstick without screwing into the filler neck. Check the oil level shown on the dipstick. If the oil level is low, fill to the edge of the oil filler hole with the recommended oil (SAE 10W-30, or 5W-30 if below 25 degrees Fahrenheit).

To avoid over-filling or under-filling, be sure the engine is in a level position when adding oil.

5) Check the fuel level by looking through the translucent fuel tank. If the fuel level is low, refuel in a well ventilated area with the engine stopped. If the engine has been running, allow it to cool. To refuel, rest the engine on the ground with the fuel tank cap facing up. Remove the fuel tank cap, and fill the tank with gasoline to the bottom of the filler neck. The recommended fuel is unleaded gasoline with a pump octane rating of 86 or higher. Refuel carefully to avoid spilling fuel. Do not overfill. There should be no fuel in the filler neck. After refueling, tighten the fuel tank cap securely.

WARNING: Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive. You can be burned or seriously injured when handling fuel. Stop the engine and keep heat, sparks, and flame away. Handle fuel only outdoors. Wipe up spills immediately.

9

CAUTIONS DURING OPERATION

1) When operating the pump for the first time with the pickup hose submerged in solution, set the pressure control valve handle to the "Start" position, and allow free flow of air or water out of spray gun or wand, to allow pump to prime with minimal resistance.

2) If the pump is operated without the pickup hose being submerged in solution it will cause damage to the pump packing. Do not run the pump without liquid, except when draining, and then for not more than 20 seconds.

3) When chemical is depleted, set the engine immediately to idle. This allows the clutch to disengage the engine from the pump.

4) When the spraying condition is not satisfactory, increase the rpm of the engine, or remove and clean the nozzle, and replace the orifice disk with a new disk if there are any signs of wear or damage.

5) The equipment has a centrifugal clutch, therefore running at low rpm's will not allow the clutch to completely expand and engage the drum. If the equipment is used with the clutch not properly engaged, the clutch can be damaged.

6) When the engine is operated continuously at a low or medium speed for a long time carbon deposits will build up on top of the piston and in the exhaust port. Therefore, occasionally run up to high speed to help remove carbon deposits. Removal of carbon should be performed as regular maintenance.

10

STARTING ENGINE

1) To start a cold engine, move the choke lever to the CLOSED position. To restart a warm engine, leave the choke lever in the OPEN position.

CLOSED CHOKE LEVER

OPEN

2) To start a cold engine, or after refueling an engine that has run out of fuel, press the priming bulb repeatedly until fuel can be seen in the clear plastic fuel-return tube. To restart a warm engine, it is not necessary to press the priming bulb.

3) Turn the ignition switch on the equipment to the ON position.

4) Always make sure the pickup hose is located in water source before starting. Running the pump without water can damage the pump. The pump should always be flushed with water before applying chemicals, as there may be residue remaining in the pump and hoses.

5) Set the pressure control valve handle to the "Start" position.

6) Pull the starter grip lightly until you feel resistance, then pull briskly. Return the starter grip gently. Always pull the starter grip briskly. If not pulled briskly, sparks may fail to jump across the spark plug electrodes, resulting in failure to start the engine.

7) If the choke lever has been moved to the closed position to start the engine, gradually move it to the OPEN position as the engine warms up.

WARNING: IF THE ENGINE DOES NOT START IN SPITE OF REPEATED OPERATION,

OPEN THE CHOKE LEVER FULLY,THEN PULL THE CORD TO START THE ENGINE.

CAUTION: Make sure the spray gun or wand is in the CLOSE position, or when the engine starts water or chemical will flow freely and can be hazardous. This unit should only be operated in well ventilated areas. The exhaust fumes are hazardous to your health.

11

STOPPING THE ENGINE

To stop the engine in an emergency, simply press the stop switch, located above the throttle control, Under normal conditions, use the following shut down procedure.

1) Move the throttle lever to the SLOW position.

2) Press the STOP switch.

12

SPRAYER OPERATION

1) Turn the handle of the control valve, and set it to the position for weeding, spray, or high pressure (stationary) to match the pressure to operation conditions.

2) Check spraying conditions and the status of the equipment.

3) Move the throttle to the high speed position.

PRESSURE CONTROL SETTINGS

1) START – When the engine starts and the pump is priming.

2) WEEDING – When low pressure spraying is necessary. (For spraying herbicides, and other chemicals in a controlled area.)

3) SPRAYING – Normal spraying.

4) HIGH PRESSURE – When high pressure is especially required. When using an extended length of hose and additional pressure is needed to push chemical.

WARNING: When the pressure control valve handle is changed from "High

Pressure" to "Spray" or "Weeding", the engine speed can be too high, corresponding to the extent of lowered pressure. Therefore, before readjusting the pressure control valve handle, move the throttle to the idle position. Then adjust throttle after handle has been changed to the desired setting.

CAUTION – Do not run engine without having the pickup hose submerged in liquid.

CAUTION – Only run pump for 20 seconds after removing pickup hose from solution to flush solution of chemical. Pump should be flushed with clean water.

13

STORAGE

1) Flush pump with clean water. Allow pump to run dry to exhaust water out of pump. DO

NOT RUN PUMP DRY FOR MORE THAN 20 SECONDS AS THIS WILL CAUSE DAMAGE TO PACKINGS.

Do not store pump with chemical or any liquid remaining in pump as this can cause corrosion and damage if allowed to freeze.

2) Drain fuel from fuel tank and dispose of waste fuel in a proper manner.

3) With control valve set at start, run engine at idle to exhaust fuel from fuel lines and carburetor.

4) Leave throttle set at low speed.

5) Leave control valve set at start position.

6) Store engine and pump in dry and clean area in moderate temperature condition away from humidity.

RECOMMENDATION – Make repairs before storing. Always use genuine DRAMM parts to assure the highest quality.
