OPERATION
Hand Gun Spraying
-
Add chemical mix into the tank at
handgun
spraying rates recommended on chemical container
-
Ensure control unit pressure control knob is wound fully out (CCW) and dump valve set to 0 (dump
position)
-
Run pump at 540 rpm
-
Ensure fluid flows in return line to tank
-
Turn dump valve lever on control unit to I (pressure position)
-
Set Control unit pressure to required handgun setting.
WARNING
To prevent damage to pump and control unit, do not exceed recommended maximum rated pressure on the
spraying components.
-
Open valve to hand gun, and allow fluid to flow until all air is expelled from spray line
-
When spraying has finished, turn dump valve lever on control unit to 0 (dump position), and control unit
pressure control is wound fully out (CCW)
-
Proceed with rinsing procedures
WARNING
To prevent premature failure of drive shaft,
DO NOT
use drive shaft for heavy-duty equipment. Drive Shaft is
rated 16hp only (conforming to ISO 5674).
WARNING
To prevent premature failure of driveshaft,
DO NOT
exceed 15
angle above or below horizontal on drive shaft
during operation.
WARNING
To prevent premature failure of spray pump diaphragms, pump speed
MUST BE
set at 550 RPM during
operation.
NOTE
If you are using a Geoline Electric control unit, ensure all compensating valves are closed during handgun
operation. Take note of
each valve’s position and return them to this position once hand gun spraying is
complete.
To prevent premature failure of spray pump diaphragms, pump speed
MUST BE
set at 550 RPM during
operation.
Boom Spraying
-
Add chemical mix into the tank at
pressure nozzle
spraying rates recommended on chemical container
-
Ensure control unit pressure control knob is wound fully out (CCW) and dump valve set to 0 (dump
position)
-
Run pump at 540 rpm
-
Ensure fluid flows in return line to tank
-
Turn dump valve lever on control unit to I (pressure position)
-
Set Control unit pressure to required pressure setting (nominally 1-4 Bar (15-60psi)).
WARNING
To prevent damage to pump and control unit, do not exceed recommended maximum rated pressure on the
spraying components.
CAUTION
To allow the spraying system to operate effectively, any spraying device should not exceed 2/3 of the maximum
flow of the spray pump.
Example:
2.5 L/min x 12 nozzles = 30 L/min. 30 litres is more than 2/3 the capacity of the M35 pump so an
M50 would be required, or the nozzle flow reduced.
-
Open valve/s to boom, and allow fluid to flow until all air is expelled from spray lines
-
When spraying has finished, turn dump valve lever on control unit to 0 (dump position), and control unit
pressure control is wound fully out (CCW)
-
Proceed with rinsing procedures
