PRE-SPRAY CHECKLIST
1) After the machine has been calibrated using the liquid to be sprayed, position the
machine in the area to be treated,
WARNING: It is recommended that the machine be
placed so that the nozzles are spraying down a main aisle of the target area and that no
foliage is located within 50 feet (15 meters) directly in front of the nozzles. This must be
done to allow any unwanted large droplets to "fall out" before impinging on and
damaging the foliage. See figure 1 in this manual for an example of how to properly
position the machine.
Important: When using an extension cord to operate the
Nightstar 115 Volt AC models, use a 12 gauge cord up to 50 feet long (15 meters) ,
and a 10 gauge extension cord from 50-100 feet (15-3 0 meters) . For the 23 0 Volt
AC models , use a 14 gauge cord up to 50 feet long (15 meters), and a 12 gauge cord
from 50-100 feet (15-30 meters) .
2) Fill the formulation tank with the proper amount of liquid to treat the target area (2.5
US gallons, 9 liters maximum) .
ONLY PUT AS MUCH FORMULATION IN THE TANK
THAT IS NECESSARY TO DO ONE APPLICATION, Tighten the plastic cap to seal
the tank. If you have the optional auxiliary agitation system, tighten the knurled brass
couplings on the circulation hoses (it is only necessary to hand tighten couplings. Over
tightening will damage the rubber gasket seal inside the nut).
3) Fill the flush tank with water and tighten the cap.
4) Position the toggle switch in either the Manual or Automatic mode (see section 6.1
and 6.2 of this manual). In Manual Mode, all functions (i.e. spray on/off, fan on/off,
agitation mixer on/off) are controlled by actuating the toggle switches on the control
panel at the side of the machine. If your machine is equipped with the optional auxiliary
agitation system, you must push the button on top of the blower cover to turn the mixing
pump "on" regardless of whether you are in the Manual or Automatic mode.
6.1

System.
3) Place the FAN SWITCH to the "on" position and allow the "FAN" to operate for 15
minutes before turning the SPRAY on.
