Assembly Instructions:

•

The sprayer is partially assembled.

•

Follow the steps on pages 3 & 4 to properly assemble the sprayer.

Step 2

Step 1

Attach the (2) Hose Wraps to the top of the tank with

(4) Phillips Head Screws

Step 3

Thread Pressure Gauge into open port on manifold, as shown.

Thread Multi Lid on to tank.

Step 4

With the unit in a UTV Box, slide the boom mount tubes in to the tank mounts and tighten the lobe knob.

* Secure tank using tie down straps (NOT INCLUDED)

Slide boom clamps up boom mount tubes, install the 1/4” carriage bolt and Lobe Knob, make sure the boom clamps are installed with the square carriage bolt holes or two boom mount holes to the inside, with lobe knob to the outside.

Step 5

Center the boom tube on the boom mounts and secure in place with the

(2) round U bolts and whiz nuts provided. Make sure the U bolts are positioned within the grooves of the grommets on the boom tube.

Refer to page 4 to properly attach the end nozzles to the boom.

NOTE: The purpose of these grommets are to prevent metal to metal contact between the U bolts, boom tube and boom mounting brackets.

Grommets will ‘ compress ’ as you tighten the locknuts onto the U bolts.

Tighten just so that the boom tube will NOT rotate within the grommets.

Alternate tightening of locknuts to provide even pressure on the grommet.

**DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN the whiz locknuts, as this may cause the boom tube to flatten slightly!

Attach the boom feeder hose to the barbs on the manifold and to the boom. Secure in place with a hose clamp provided. The boom hose can be cut to length if needed.

Once fully assembled, to remove the sprayer from a UTV Box, disconnect the boom supply hose from the manifold, using the quick connect fitting. Then loosen the two lobe knobs on the tank mounts and slide the boom out and set aside. Then the tank can be removed and set on the ground without damaging the tank or boom. The handles can be used to lift the empty tank in and out of the box. Tie down straps can be installed through the handles to secure the tank.

End Nozzle Assembly Procedure

For Boomless “ Wet ” Boom

Your boom will come with the (2) end nozzle assemblies NOT affixed to your boom tube.

Follow the instructions below to attach these properly to the boom tube, as shown.

Assembled

End Nozzle

1.

First REMOVE O Ring, Item 2 (#5072517) from the end nozzle body assembly.

2.

Start by sliding Item 4, 3, 2 onto the boom tube (Item 1) as shown, leaving about

1/2” to 3/4” between the end of the boom tube and Item 2. Make sure the

“ Long ” portion of Item 3 is facing the nozzle end.

3.

Slide the (complete) end nozzle assembly onto the stainless steel boom tube, with somewhat of a “ twisting ” motion, so that the end face of the boom tube “ butts ” up against the surface face inside the nozzle body.

4.

Now push the “ compression olive ” (Item 3) against O ring

(Item 2) and slide (both) into the nozzle body opening firmly.

5.

Firmly tighten flynut (Item 4) onto threads of nozzle body.

Repeat for other side.

NOTE: If water is shooting back on the boom tube, item 2 is not in the correct placement.

Item 2 is shipped inside of the end nozzle assembly.

Remove & place on tube.

• Make sure all hose clamps are tight before testing or spraying for the first time.

•

Read the operating instructions for both the sprayer and the Volt Edge system before using.

**The Sprayer is now ready to TEST w/plain water before actual use**

Page 4

Service Position On/Off Valve Knob

Eliminate line pressure, then pull out to check diaphragm condition.

Note: The check valve & diaphragm can fall out during transport, if the knob is not turned to the “ ON ” or “ OFF ” position.

IMPORTANT: Remove tank lid and be sure the tank is clean and free of any foreign material. Rinse tank out of any tank residue before filling with water to test.

Testing the Sprayer

Manifold Valves CLOSED

NOTE:

CHECK and TEST the completed sprayer with plain water. This will enable you to check the sprayer for leaks without the possibility of losing any expensive chemicals.

Fill the tank about 1/2 full with plain water and drive to the starting place for spraying.

When you are ready to spray, turn the boom valve to the “ on ” position (Detail A).

This will start solution spraying from the tips of the boom. The pressure will decrease slightly when the boom is spraying.

Adjust the pressure by turning the “ ON/OFF ” valve lever on the Press. Adj.

(bypass) line valve (Detail B). Make sure your pattern is sufficient. You may down pressure the system by ‘ bypassing ’ solution back into the tank. This is achieved by opening the Press. Adj. (bypass) valve. Regulating pressure is done in this manner.

Detail A

Read the operating instructions and initially begin spraying by closing the ‘ Pressure

Adjust ’ valve and opening the boom line valve (Detail A). This will enable the air in the line to be eliminated (purged) through all the tips, while building pressure.

When everything tests all right (no leaks and good pressure), add the desired chemicals to the mixture and water combination and start your spraying operation. Adjust the pressure and spray as you did in the testing procedure.

Conditions of weather and terrain must be considered when setting the sprayer.

Do not spray on windy days. Protective clothing must be worn in some cases

Detail B

Be sure to read the chemical label(s) before application!

Operation

The pumping system draws solution from the tank, through the strainer and to the pump. The pump forces the solution under pressure to the handgun or boom nozzles.

NOTE: Read and follow the Volt Edge instructions, later in this manual, for charging and operation of the 20Vmax Lithium Ion System.

Fill the tank part way with water and then add the desired amount of chemical to be sprayed. Finish filling tank to proper level.

Only fill the tank with what you ’ re going to spray in a day, never leave chemicals sit in tank.

Turn the pump on and by depressing the ON button. The pump is equipped with a pressure switch that is pre set at the factory to shut the pump off when all discharges are closed.

The pump will turn back on when one of the following actions occurs:



Handgun lever is squeezed to spray the handgun.



Boom valve is opened to broadcast spray with the boom.



Press. Adj. (bypass) valve is opened to re circulate solution back into the tank.

When spraying with either the boom or the handgun, pressure may be reduced by slowly opening the Press. Adj. (bypass) valve until desired pressure is achieved (Detail B). Opening the valve decreases pressure, closing the valve increases pressure. When spraying with the boom, the proper method to set the pressure is to open the boom valve completely and if a lower pressure is desired, then slowly open the Press. Adj. (bypass) valve until that pressure is obtained.

For the safest and most efficient chemical application, you will need to calibrate your sprayer using the tip and speed charts. Once you have determined the proper speed and pressure settings, you will need to consult your chemical label for the amount of chemical to be added to the tank. Read the entire label. Use only according to label directions.

Calibration

Chemical labels may show application rates in gallons per acre, gallons per 1000 square feet or gallons per 100 square feet. You will note that the tip chart shows 3 of these rating systems. Once you know how much you are going to spray, then determine (from the tip chart) the spraying pressure (PSI), and the spraying speed (MPH).

Determining the proper speed of the pulling vehicle can be done by marking off 100, 200 & 300 feet. The speed chart indicates the number of seconds it takes to travel the distances. Set the throttle and with a running start, travel the distances. Adjust the throttle until you travel the distances in the number of seconds indicated by the speed chart. Once you have reached the throttle setting needed, mark the throttle location so you can stop and go again, returning to the same speed.

Add water and proper amount of chemical to the tank and drive to the starting place for spraying.

Using the Boom Nozzles

Tank Care & Maintenance

Warning: Do not use the tank as a container for fuel oils, kerosene, gasoline or any other petroleum distillate product. All polyolefins are softened and permeated by such products. In an enclosed area the vaporization of these materials from the outside surface of the tank could create a dangerous condition.

The tank should not be used as a pressure vessel nor used with chemicals or solutions having a weight of more than 12 pounds per gallon.

Store the tank in a dry dark place when not in use. Storage out of sunlight will prolong the life of the tank.

Do not drop, strike or kick the tank, especially at low temperatures. Tanks become brittle and are subject to cracking at temperatures below 20° Fahrenheit.

Always flush the tank with water and a neutralizing agent at the end of each use, to prevent contamination of solutions.

Page 6

Maintenance During/After Spraying

Periodically check the strainer and clean the screen on your intake line.

If sprayer becomes clogged during use, discontinue use immediately. DO NOT attempt to service while chemicals are in the sprayer and power is connected.

Proper care and maintenance will prolong the life of your sprayer.

After use, drain the tank and store or dispose of chemical properly. Fill the sprayer half way with clean water. Start the pump and allow the water to pump through the entire plumbing system and nozzles. Drain and then refill half full, add the recommended amount of a good quality tank cleaner, such as FIMCO Tank Neutralizer and Cleaner. (If no tank cleaner is available, you may substitute dish soap for this step, about 1 2 oz. per gallon). But a neutralizer/cleaner should be used to thoroughly clean the system.

Turn pump on and circulate through system for 15 minutes and then spray out through boom and handgun nozzles. Refill sprayer half way with clean water and repeat. Follow the chemical manufacturer ’ s disposal instructions of all wash or rinsing water.

If boom or handgun nozzles need cleaning, remove them from the sprayer and soak in warm soapy water. Clean with a soft bristled brush or toothpick if necessary. Never use a metal object. Even the slightest damage can change the flow rate and spray distribution. Water rinse and dry the tips before storing.

WARNING: Some chemicals will damage the pump valves if allowed to soak untreated for a length of time! ALWAYS flush the pump as instructed after each use. DO NOT allow chemicals to sit in the pump for extended times of idleness. Follow the chemical manufacturer ’ s instructions on disposal of all waste water from the sprayer.

Winter Storage

Prepare the sprayer for end of season storage by running RV antifreeze through the system. This will keep internal parts lubricated, protect against corrosion and keep the unit from freezing. Note: RV antifreeze is non toxic and biodegradable and generally safer for the environment than automotive antifreeze.

Before storing your sprayer for winter or long term storage, thoroughly clean and drain it as much as possible. Then pour enough pink RV antifreeze into the tank so that when the pump is turned on you can pump the antifreeze throughout the entire plumbing system, including the bypass. Make sure to operate the boom and handgun until you see pink fluid spraying from the nozzles.

Leave any remaining antifreeze in the tank. Before your next usage, rinse the antifreeze from the sprayer with clean water.

It is nearly impossible to drain all of the water from the sprayer and any trapped water can freeze in cold weather and damage parts of the sprayer. Pumping the antifreeze through the system will displace the water and help prevent this damage.

Removing from storage: drain the antifreeze. Fill the tank with fresh water and run through the system. Dispose of antifreeze and flush water properly.

There is a shut off valve on the intake line. It is at this location so you can shut off the flow of solution to access your system ’ s filter screen for cleaning.

Checking/Cleaning the sprayer ’ s filter/screen:



Start your pump and before it shuts off, reach down and shut the valve to the ‘ Closed ’ position (lever is perpendicular to the flow of fluid), then shut off your pump.



Unscrew the bowl of the filter to access the screen.



Remove the screen and clean as necessary. Replace when done and reassemble the entire assembly.



Make sure the valve is turned to the ‘ Open ’ position before restarting your pump.

Troubleshooting Leaking Elbow on Manifold:

Manifold is leaking at the elbow connection, remove the elbow from the manifold. Quarter turn counter clockwise and lift off.

Look inside the cap and make sure the flat washer is in place.

If washer is in place, you ’ ll notice a hexagon shape hole. While holding the elbow and cap at the same time, using an allen wrench or head of a bolt, something just big enough to catch the edges, give it a twist clockwise to snug up the connection.

The elbow is a two piece interlocking mechanism and may just be a little loose.

Replace on manifold.

Before Troubleshooting or Attempting to Service the Pump:



Review Troubleshooting Chart: Do Not attempt to repair until steps below are followed.



Personal Protective Gear: Wear protective gear when servicing pump.



Disconnect Power: Disconnect the power to the pump and relieve the pressure from the system.



Empty and Flush pump system with water, never attempt to service the pump until it has been emptied and flushed.



Perform Repairs: Follow directions provided in the troubleshooting section to repair the pump.



Test: Always test the pump for leaks with plain water after any repairs before using.

Motor is NOT Running Checking the Pressure Switch:

If motor is not running and you ’ ve checked the following: for loose wiring connections, fuse, the switch on the lead wire was “ ON ” and sprayer was connected to a fully charged battery, but motor won ’ t run, then it ’ s time to check to see if the pressure switch is bad.

•

Remove the cover off the 1” square box (pressure switch) on the head of the pump, the cover is held on by one phillips head screw. This will expose the two red wires.

•

With the pump connected to a good 12 volt power source and everything on.

•

Slip the two red wires off the terminals and touch them together.



If the motor runs, it means the pressure switch is bad and needs to be replaced.



If motor still doesn ’ t run, try bypassing the switch in the lead wire or using another lead wire.

Even if a tester shows power to the pressure switch, still try this test.

Warning: It is NOT recommended to run the pump this way, as the pump will continue to run and not shut off.

This could result in blown hoses when all discharges are closed or premature failure of the pump completely.

Motor Running No Pressure Cleaning the Check Valve:

If you ’ re experiencing little to no pressure or the pump is not priming and filter screen is clean and plumbing is good with no leaks, you may need to clean the check valve.

•

Remove the head of the pump, which is held on by 7 screws.

•

The first piece inside the head of the pump is called a check valve, it ’ s the part responsible for building up pressure and pumping water/solution through the lines.

•

Clean the check valve under hot, soapy water (such as a good grade dish soap).

•

Give it a very light scrubbing with something like an old toothbrush, something with soft bristles.

• Then let it soak for about an hour or so in the hot soapy solution and replace in the pump and reassemble the pump.

Most times this will restore most, if not all of the prime of a pump.

If you ’ re still having issues with pressure after this step, it would be recommended to replace this part.

Sprayer and Pump FAQs:



Why does the pump not run all the time?

This is an on demand pump and only runs when a discharge is open (spray gun, bypass, boom (if applicable) or a leak in system.



Why does the pump surge while using the spray gun?

Low flow/high pressure may cause the pump to surge (or cycle). Typically the spray wand is adjusted at too fine of a mist, to

overcome, adjust the nozzle for a higher flow.



How do I adjust the pressure?

Pressure can only be adjusted by opening the pressure adjust (bypass) valve to allow some of your water or solution to return to the tank (if equipped).



Pump quit and will not run, what do I need to do?

Squeeze trigger on spray gun to ensure that the system isn ’ t just pressurized up with discharges closed.

Check electrical connections, ensure switch is on. Check fuses. Check for proper voltage. Check pressure switch.



Low flow or no flow at all, what do I need to check for?

Check for a clogged intake hose and/or intake strainer. Check for proper voltage.

You will need to occasionally check your intake strainer to ensure that it is clean of any debris.



What is causing the fuse to blow each time I turn the pump on?

Check for excessive voltage. Improper adjustment of the pressure switch. Damaged or defective wire harness or defective pressure switch.

Warning:

Ensure the wiring harness does not become pinched or damaged in any way. This may damage the pump or cause the wiring harness to overheat, resulting in a melt down or fire.
