Mounting the Sprayer
This sprayer is designed to be mounted on the rack or on the back of most ATVs and utility vehicles. Mounting the sprayer correctly
and securely will ensure consistent and safe spraying.
Base Unit
1. Before installing your sprayer, make sure that the sprayer
unit does not exceed the ATV manufacturer's load rating. The sprayer unit could weigh up to 270 lbs when filled
with 25 gallons of liquid.
straps
ATV rear rack
2. In most cases, the sprayer unit is placed on the rear
rack of the ATV and is securely strapped down. In a
permanent situation the sprayer unit could also be bolted
down. Regardless of how the sprayer is mounted, it is
essential that sprayer is properly secured (Figure 20).
d
Wiring Harness
1. The pump wiring harness (a) has a 2-pronged plug. This
wiring harness needs to be connected to the switch wiring
harness (b) which includes the control switch. Make sure
the wire colors match (Figure 21).
Figure 20: Mounting the sprayer
d
2. The switch wiring harness (b) needs to be connected to
the battery wire harness (c) which includes the 15 amp
fuse (d). Make sure the wire colors match (Figure 21).
c
3. The battery wire harness needs to be connected to
a 12 volt DC power source. Connect the red wire to
a positive power source either to the vehicle's battery
terminal or at a power access point with at least 15 amp
capability. The black wire needs to be connected to a
good ground source or to the negative terminal of the
battery.
Note: The end of the wiring harness with the ring
terminals (d) is detachable and can be left attached to the
battery for convenience purposes.
4. Ensure that the power source is adequate, since an
inadequate power source could cause numerous problems
with your sprayer. If you are using a power access point,
ensure that it has at least 15 amp capability.
5. You now need to place the switch in a location where it is
easily accessible for operation. Secure it so that it cannot
fall or become entangled and cause damage.

Note: Use caution when routing the wiring harness to
avoid areas where the wires can be pinched, rubbed, or
exposed to excessive heat.
Calibrating the Sprayer
Note: All calibration needs to be done with water only!
When spraying with the boom, the sprayer must be calibrated to ensure proper spray coverage. Before calibrating the sprayer, it is
important to familiarize yourself with the operating instructions (page 13). The calibration process is simplified when broken down
into the following three steps:
1. Calculate the speed of the ATV or utility vehicle.
2. Determine the nozzle size and consult the calibration chart for the desired or instructed Gallons per Acre (GPA).
3. Set the the pressure accordingly using the relief valve.
1. Calculating the Speed
It is important to determine what speed your ATV will be traveling at while spraying. While some ATVs may have speedometers, it
is still recommended that speed be calculated for all ATVs for accuracy purposes. To determine the speed follow these four steps:
1. Measure a 200 foot or 300 foot distance on a field or a
surface similar to where you will be spraying.
2. Drive the equipment and sprayer (half-full is optimal)
across the measured distance at a constant rate of
speed. There can be no changes in speed while you are
measuring the time. This should be a comfortable speed
for spraying.
3. Have someone measure the amount of time (in seconds)
it takes to travel the measured distance.
4. Your speed can be calculated by entering your data into
the equation Speed (mph) = (Distance (ft) x 60) / (Time
(seconds) x 88) or by consulting the table to the left.
Note: It is helpful for future references to record the
exact RPM and gear used to find your speed.

2. Determining Nozzle Size/Using Calibration Chart
The spray nozzles on your sprayer are color-coded to match up with the calibration chart. After you have determined your nozzle
size, you need to look at the calibration chart. Using your ATV speed, nozzle size, and desired gallons per acre (GPA), find the
pressure (psi) necessary to achieve your GPA. It is important to note that lower pressure settings will result in less spray drift.
Example: Assume you have found your ATV speed to be 5 MPH, your nozzles are yellow (XR11002), and you want to spray 10 GPA. Upon looking at the chart, you find that you should set the sprayer's pressure at about 29 psi in order to apply 10 GPA. 11
Calibrating the Sprayer
3. Adjusting the Sprayer Pressure
You have found the correct pressure setting, but must now
adjust the sprayer to that pressure setting. The relief valve
(a) controls the sprayer's pressure and is located under the
pressure gauge (b). Before spraying, turn the relief valve and
watch the pressure gauge until it reads the necessary pressure
(Figure 22). You have successfully calibrated the sprayer.

Operating Instructions
Before operating the sprayer, it is important that you read this entire manual and know all safety precautions. Always take your time
and be alert when operating your sprayer in order to avoid an accident.
Spraying with the Boom
1. Calibrate the sprayer using the preceding calibration
instructions and chart (pages 11-12). This will determine
what pressure to spray at in order to achieve the desired
gallons per acre (GPA).
2. Fill the tank with some water in order to set the pressure
and test for leaks.
3. Prepare the sprayer for spraying by closing the ball valve
(c) in the boom supply line (Figure 22, page 12).
4. Start the ATV and engage the pump by turning on the
power switch on the wiring harness. Ensure that there
are no leaks in any of the lines.
6. Turn off the pump using the power switch on the wiring
harness.
7. You may now fill the tank with the needed amount of
water and chemicals recommended by the chemical being
used. After the tank is full, close the boom supply valve,
engage the pump and allow the water to circulate to
ensure proper mixing of the chemicals and water. You
are now ready to begin spraying.
8. Upon arriving at the spraying location, open the booms,
engage the pump, open the boom supply valve, and make
sure the pressure setting is correct. 5. Using the relief valve, adjust the sprayer's pressure to the
pressure rating found when you calibrated your sprayer. When you open the boom supply line valve you may need
to readjust the pressure.
Note: Since the maximum pump pressure is 45 psi, setting the pressure above 45 psi will cause the pump to pulsate on and off.
Spraying with the Spray Gun
1. Fill the tank with some water in order to set the pressure
and test for leaks.
2. Prepare the sprayer for spraying by closing the ball valve
in the boom supply line
3. Start the ATV and engage the pump by turning on the
power switch on the wiring harness. Ensure that there
are no leaks in any of the lines.
4. Adjust the sprayer's pressure using the relief valve to
your desired setting
6. You may now fill the tank with the needed amount of

being used. After the tank is full, engage the pump and
allow the water to circulate to ensure proper mixing of
the chemicals and water. You are now ready to begin
spraying.
7. Upon arriving at the spraying location, engage the pump,
and make sure the pressure setting is correct. Press the
trigger on the spray gun to engage the gun. The tip at the
end of the gun can be turned to adjust the spray pattern.
5. Turn off the pump using the power switch on the wiring
harness.

Operating Instructions
Following Operation
1. Thoroughly rinsing the sprayer of any chemical residue
is an important activity. It is recommended to fill the
tank with fresh water and engage the spray gun and boom
until the system is entirely free of chemical residue. It is
important not to rinse the sprayer in an area where humans,
animals, or sensitive plants could come in contact with
chemical residue.
2. Store the sprayer in a location where it will be away from
human or animal activity. Do not allow children to play on
or near the sprayer.
Maintenance Instructions
Routine Maintenance
It is very important to perform routine maintenance on your sprayer before and after each use. Good maintenance practices will help
to guard against any unnecessary sprayer breakdowns or accidents.
1. It is recommended to perform a visual and physical
inspection for any worn parts, loose bolts, or other
visible problems. Make all necessary repairs before
spraying. Contact an authorized CropCare® dealer
for instructions on ordering parts and technical help.
2. After each use it is important to rinse the pump and all
components by running water through the system. Fill the
tank with a sufficient amount of fresh water and engage
both the spray gun and the boom. Rinsing the pump with
fresh water will greatly improve the life of the pump.
3. Always follow all pump safety precautions and warnings
(See page 5). Following these guidelines will help to
ensure many years of smooth and trouble-free spraying.
4. The suction strainer located on the end of suction hose
(ref # 1, page 16) should be inspected and rinsed off on
a regular basis.
5. Tip strainers should also be taken out and rinsed after
every use. Tip strainers are a small screens that are
located behind each spray nozzle on the boom (Figure
12, page 8).
Note: Due to normal wear, Teejet® recommends that you replace your sprayer nozzles after every spraying season. Nozzle
replacement will ensure accurate spraying performance.
14
Maintenance Instructions
Winterizing your Sprayer
It is essential that you winterize your sprayer to avoid damage and to allow for optimal performance. The winterization process
should be undertaken before freezing conditions and/or after each season of use. Failure to winterize your sprayer will void the
manufacturer’s warranty.
1. Verify that the tank is empty and rinsed out. Pour 1/2
- 1 gallon of RV nontoxic antifreeze into the tank. It is
not recommended to use standard antifreeze. Standard
antifreeze can be harmful to humans, animals, crops, and
the environment.
2. Engage the pump and spray with the boom and
subsequently the spray gun. Make sure that the antifreeze
has been pumped through the entire system including all
spray nozzles.
3. Store the sprayer in a dry location away from the
elements.
4. Before spraying in the spring it is recommended to flush
the sprayer with fresh water to cleanse it of the antifreeze
and any other buildup. It would also be beneficial to do
a thorough inspection of all sprayer components before
spraying.
