ASSEMBLY & OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS MANUAL - 30 GALLON TRAILER SPRAYER #1046832
TESTING YOUR SPRAYER
OPERATING INFORMATION
Your sprayer is equipped with (2) ON/OFF switches.
One is on the wire assembly that you hook up to your
battery, the other is on the pump itself, on the opposite
end of the pressure switch. The “-” is the “ON” position
and the “o” is the “OFF” position for the switches. Make
sure both switches are depressed in the “-” position for
operation.
In addition to the ON/OFF switch, the pump is equipped
with an electronic pressure switch that is factory pre-set
for it to shut off at 60 p.s.i.. This switch assembly is the
‘square box’ on the head portion of the pump.
Always fill the tank with a desired amount of water first,
and then add the chemical slowly, mixing as you pour
the chemical into the tank. You may use the handgun to
spray into the solution in order to mix the chemical and
water.
The pumping system draws solution from the tank,
through the strainer/filter, and to the pump. The pump
forces the solution under pressure to the handgun and/
or boom nozzles.
• Open the handgun by squeezing the handle lever.
• Rotating the adjustable nozzle tip on the handgun
will change the tip pattern from a straight stream to
a cone pattern (finer mist).
It is VERY important for you to test your sprayer with
plain water before actual spraying is attempted. This
will enable you to check the sprayer for leaks, with-
out the possibility of losing any expensive chemi-
cals.
Add water to the tank & drive to the starting place for
spraying. When you are ready to spray, turn the boom
valve to the “on” position. 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 line
valve.
Read the operating instructions. When everything tests
all right (no leaks, & 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) correctly!
WARNING: Some chemicals will damage the pump
valves if allowed to soak untreated for a length of
time! ALWAYS thoroughly flush the pump with water
after 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.
