Step 1
Assembly Procedure
• Make sure the contents of the sprayer ’ s carton match the items shown on page 3 of the manual.
• Follow the steps on pages 3, 4 & 5 to properly assemble the sprayer.
Normally, the sprayer will be mounted on an ATV with the pump assembly at the operator ’ s back and the spray wand will be at the rear of the unit. Right Hand (RH) and Left Hand
(LH) sides of the sprayer are determined as if you are standing behind the sprayer, looking at it (facing forward)
After removing the tank from the box, start the assembly procedure by turning the tank upside on a stable, flat surface.
A phillips head screwdriver is required for this step.
(**) Mount tank brackets to the underside of the tank as shown in Step 1. Use (4) flat head screws to secure them to the tank. The tank will rest on the surface of the brackets.
Make sure the brackets are parallel with each other before tightening down the bolts. Do not over tighten.

Assembly Procedure
After your tank brackets are securely attached, turn the tank assembly over and position it so that the cam handles which extend beyond the back of the tank are facing you and just hanging over the edge of the table or flat surface you are assembling this on.
Secure the boom mounting brackets to the tank mounting brackets with Cam handles as shown in Detail A. You can position them as needed within the slot on the bracket. Just be sure that the surfaces of both brackets are even with each other.
You are now ready to mount this unit to an ATV, using ratchet straps
(NOT INCLUDED)
A 1/2” socket or wrench is required for this step.
After the brackets are securely attached to the tank, you are now ready to mount this to an ATV rack system.
Place the sprayer on to the ATV rack and find the most optimal place for placement. Remember that all rack systems are not alike and this was designed to fit ‘ most ’ rack systems. There is a chance it may not fit your particular rack.
After the sprayer is secured to the rack, assemble the nozzle mounts to the brackets.
Detail B: Secure the LH nozzle mount to the LH tank mounting bracket with two carriage bolts and three whiz nuts.
You can position the nozzle mounts as needed within the slot on the tab.
Just be sure that the surfaces of both brackets are even with each other.
Detail C: Repeat for RH nozzle mount.
Detail B Detail C
After your nozzle mounts are secured in place, attach the nozzle assemblies.
Slip a hose clamp over each end of the hose. Slightly tighten so they won ’ t fall off the hose.
Slip one end of each hose under tank to secure to manifold in the next step.
Attach other end of hose to the hose barb on the nozzle body. Slip hose over barb with a twisting motion and tighten hose clamp. Repeat for the other nozzle assembly.
Detail D: Attach nozzle assemblies to nozzle mounts and secure in place with poly spring clips.
Step 5
Assembly Procedure
After securing the nozzle assemblies to the nozzle mounts, secure other end of hoses to the hose barbs on the y valve on the manifold, with a twisting motion and secure with hose clamps..
Each nozzle will have its own shut off valve control.

Detail A: Install the pressure gauge. Hand tighten securely.
** DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN **
Detail B: Screw the lid onto the tank. Place the end of the lanyard through the tab in the tank. This is so the lid can ‘ hang ’ off the tank when filling/rinsing the tank out.
Detail C: Locate the (2) clips and (2) phillips head machine screws from the parts bag.
A phillips head screwdriver is required for this step
Place a screw through the hole in the clip and bring it up to the tank, where the embossments for the clips are (located on the rear side of the tank)
Secure the clip/screw to the tank. Tighten so that the clip is secure. Do this for each clip. ** DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN **
The spray wand will snap into the clips once installed. Do not use excessive force when placing the spray wand into the clips, as this could cause the clips to break.
•
Make sure all hose clamps are tight before testing or spraying for the first time.
•
One requirement will be for you to hook up your battery leads to a fully charged 12 Volt battery.
• The drain plug assembly should already be attached to the tank
**The Sprayer is now ready to TEST w/plain water before actual use**
Page 5
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:
It is VERY important to test this sprayer with plain water before actual spraying is attempted. 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 bypass 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 bypass valve. Regulating pressure is done in this manner.
Read the operating instructions and initially begin spraying by closing the bypass 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.
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.
Detail A
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.
Detail B
Connect the lead wire to a fully charged 12 volt battery. You may use either a stand alone battery or the battery on your towing vehicle.
Connect to the positive (red) terminal first, then connect to the negative (black) terminal. Then connect the end of the lead wire to the end of the pump. When disconnecting, disconnect the end of the pump wire from the lead wire, then disconnect the negative
(black) connection and finally the positive (red) connection. The lead wire has an On/Off switch to activate the pump. “ ” is on and
“ O ” is off. Turn the pump on by depressing the “ ” side of the rocker switch. 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.
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 bypass valve until desired pressure is achieved. 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 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.
Page 6
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 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

** The rate of spray as shown in the chart will remain the same with 1 or 2 Nozzles **
The only difference will be with the width of the spray swath
Using the Boom Nozzles
Four things must be considered before spraying with the boom.
How much chemical must be mixed in the tank.
Rate of spray (gallons per acre to be sprayed).
What pressure (PSI) will be used.
Speed traveled (MPH) while spraying.
Refer to the chemical label to determine your chemical mixture
See the tip chart to determine the pressure to be used. The chart will also show the speed used when spraying.
Start the pump and open the valve to the boom nozzles.
Check the spray pattern. Usually you can see the coverage better on a solid concrete surface, such as a driveway.
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.
Page 7
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.
Storing Sprayer
When sprayer is not in use, release Cam Lock Handles. This is to prevent deforming of Cam Lock Mechanism. Do not use QR bracket Cams to hold and store boom in vertical position.
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.

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 the 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.
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 or kinked intake hose and/or clogged 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 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.

Intake/Siphon Tube/Screen Detail of a Typical L&G/ATV Sprayer (not including the ‘ EC ’ Units)
‘ Cut ’ View of a
‘ Typical ’ Tank
(looking inside)
The suction line of your sprayer should contain a ‘ siphon tube ’ or intake tube which should be rotated so that it just touches the bottom of the tank surface. (see Detail Views). Reach in and rotate it, as needed, if not already in this position.
A shut off valve is threaded onto the pipe nipple at the intake location on the tank. It is at this location so you can shut off the flow of solution to access your system ’ s 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 knurled nut from the shut off valve, leaving the valve connected to the tank.
Swing (swivel) the intake assembly towards you. Look in the nut you JUST unscrewed. There is a screen/washer located there.
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.
