TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
• Corrosion Resistant Polyethylene Tank.
• 12 Volt Diaphragm Pump.
• Pressure Gauge-Adjustable Pressure Range.
• 15 Foot Handgun Hose.
CAUTION
PRESSURE SWITCH OPERATION
Pressure switch is pre-set at the factory. Improper adjustment of the pressure switch, may cause severe overload or premature failure. If the pump is subjected to rapid cycling during normal operation, or infrequent periods, damage may occur.
CAUTION: Always check the vehicle load rating before using this sprayer. The loaded weight of the sprayer and boom assembly is about 170 lbs. when the tank is full for a
15 gallon unit and 250 lbs. for a 25 gallon unit.
It is important to test the sprayer with plain water before actual spraying is attempted. This will enable you to check the sprayer for leaks in the plumbing system.
AFTER SPRAYING
After use fill the sprayer part way with water, start the sprayer and allow clear water to be pumped through the plumbing system and out through the handgun. Use the handgun on the sprayer to thoroughly wash all internal parts of the tank and tank cover.
ASSEMBLY
1. Thread the gauge into the reducing bushing at the end of the manifold assembly. Use a good grade of thread sealant here to insure no leaks.
Refill the tank about half full with plain water and use a chemical neutralizer such as Nutra-Sol or equivalent and repeat cleaning instructions above. Flush the entire sprayer with the neutralizing agent. Follow the chemical manufacturers disposal instructions of all wash or rinsing water.
2. Connect the wiring harness to the wires coming out of the pump. Connect the wiring from the wiring assembly to the 12
Volt power source of the vehicle. The red wire of the 2-wire set must be connected to the positive (+) post on the battery or the “hot” connection on a switch or to the ammeter. The brown wire may be grounded or connected to the negative
(-) post on the battery.
WINTER STORAGE
Drain all water out of sprayer paying special attention to pump, valves, and handgun. These items are especially prone to damage from chemicals and freezing weather.
3. Remove the drain plug assembly from the parts bag and thread it onto the drain bung located at the lower rear end of the tank.
The sprayer should be winterized before storage by pumping a solution of R.V. anti-freeze through the entire plumbing. Proper care and maintenance will prolong the life of the sprayer.
4. Remove the handgun clips/screws from the parts bag, if applicable, and attach them to the side of the tank, for handgun storage.
OPERATION
The pump on the sprayer is equipped with a pressure switch that is factory set at a maximum of 60 PSI. Pressure may be decreased by opening the regulating valve. The more it is opened, the lower the pressure will be.
The handgun has an adjustable nozzle which allows the spray to be adjusted from a cone shaped fine mist to a straight stream. It is normal for the pump to cycle when spraying with a fine mist spray.
WARNING: Some chemicals will damage the pump valves if allowed to soak untreated for a length of time. Always flush the pump with water after use. Do not allow chemicals to sit in pump for extended times of idleness. Follow the chemical manufactures instructions on disposal of all waste water from the sprayer.
