PRO-MIST DURA® ULV
Mount to Vehicle
The Pro-Mist Dura ULV Sprayer can be conveniently
mounted on a variety of trucks and utility vehicles. To
easily move and lift the machine we recommend either
placing a 2x4 through the handles on the black blower
housing-column or a strap or small pipe through the
holes on top of this same column.
For instance, on a pick-up truck, the sprayer should be
mounted within a few inches of the tailgate. By doing
this, the outlet of the blower will be positioned above
and slightly behind the tailgate.
This is important because many moving vehicles create a
vacuum behind them. The downdraft may pull the mist
toward the ground if the discharge is too low or too far
forward. The elevated position of the spray head on the
Pro-Mist Dura prevents this from happening on most
trucks even when the sprayer is mounted down in the
truck bed. Smooth dispersal of spray may be further
enhanced by removing the tailgate on vehicles so
equipped.
Normally, the sprayer is positioned with the blower
outlet aimed 45 ° up and to the rear of the vehicle.
Certain ULV insecticide labels require this orientation.
For flying insect control, regardless of the insecticide,
little or no advantage will be gained by aiming the
blower to one side or the other.
The Pro-Mist Dura sprayer may be subjected to great
stress on vehicles that are driven on rough road surfaces.
Secure the sprayer with nuts, bolts and lock washers at
all four corners.
Lag screws are not adequate fasteners.
We recommend using 5/16 bolts with a flat washer. An
option is to use pretreated wood beams (4 x 4) and bolt
to bed of vehicle.
The Pro-Mist Dura warranty is voided
if the unit is damaged due to improper mounting.
