At this time tighten all bolts starting with the bolts in figure 2, then the bolts in figure 3.

Install the drain in the rear of the tank as shown in figure 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" flat washers and knobs. The boom connecting hose should extend upward. See figure 6.

NOTE: Make sure the nozzle openings face straight down when the boom bars are in the horizontal operating position.

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 figures 9 and 10.

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

PUMP SWITCH QUICK COUPLER

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 figure 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 figure 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 fitting. Tighten the hose clamp around the hose and adapter. See figure 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 figure 7.

KNOWYOUR 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.

BOOM ARM

SPRAY GUN

ON-OFF SWITCH Turns pump/motor on or off.

ON-OFF VALVE Turns the flow 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 fitting.

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 flow 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 flow 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 fine 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 figure 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.

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 flush the pump with water after each use. See the instructions for cleaning the tank in the maintenance section for flushing and disposal of chemicals.

CAUTION: Wear eye protection, gloves and protective clothing when handling and working with lawn chemicals.

CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITIES

Service Dates

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, fill 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.

Refill 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 flush it with clear water.

Periodically clean the strainers in the boom nozzles.

Remove the nozzle, pull out the screen and flush 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.
