How to use your S25 Sprayer
The S25 SPRAY-PRO sprayer is designed to be simple to use, easy on the operator and provide
years of accurate spraying. The S25 is the latest development from Earthway Products, Inc., a
world leaders in the manufacture of broadcast spreaders, seeding tools, and sprayers.
Calibration
The S25 is supplied with three different nozzle options. The table below shows the characteristics and performance of the supplied nozzle
options at the eight different height setting of the DCV holder.
Other Turbo Floodjet
®
are nozzles available from a TeeJet Dealer
if
additional application rates are required. You can download a new Spray Rate Chart at www.earthway.com.
Before use
Before using any liquid products always read thoroughly
the manufacturers product label, to ensure correct
dosage and proper handling of the product being
applied through the applicator.
Use the correct Safety
Equipment as directed by the chemical manufacturer.
;
Check that the applicator has been thoroughly
cleaned from its previous use and that both the
nozzle outlet and the handgun line (if included)
have been washed through.
;
Always spray on a day where wind is minimal.
It can be unsafe and inaccurate if spraying is
undertaken in windy conditions.
;
Always wear appropriate safety clothing when
the sprayer is being used.
Refer to manufacturers
instructions, or contact your supplier of the
product being applied for safety recommendations.
;
Make sure the tires are properly inflated to 20 psi.
How to use ~
Walk behind spraying
Practice before use
It is recommended for first time users of the machine that the user familiarizes him/her self with
the workings of the sprayer. By simply putting water in the spray tank and spraying it out onto a
dry tarmac surface the operator will very quickly familiarize themselves with the workings of the
machine. Make sure the spray tank is then emptied of water before further use.
Make sure the handlebar is set right for the size of the operator. There are three position options
on the upper handle for different user heights. By having the handle in the correct position for
the individual user it will make pushing the machine simpler and make spray accuracy easier to
achieve.
;
Choose the correct nozzle of the three nozzle options that is suitable for the product being
applied. (See calibration chart above)
;
Ensure the Spray
(ON)
/ Transport
(OFF)
lever on the handlebar is in the Transport position.
The Transport position is with the lever over to the right side when standing behind the
handlebars of the machine.
;
Make sure the tank is clean and there is no chance of remnants or deposits from a previous
spray task being left in the tank.
;
With the tank clean fill the tank with the required volume of liquid for the designated spray
task, making sure the product being used is mixed and being applied in accordance with the
manufacturers instructions.
;
With the control lever is in the Transport (closed position) the machine can be safely pushed to the area where spraying is to be
carried out.
;
Locate the sprayer at the point at which spraying needs to commence. Lift the machine up off the two feet, so the body of the
machine is parallel with the ground (important see drawing on next page). To spray simply roll the control lever
(ON/OFF)
over to
the left side
(SPRAY POSITION)
, and walk forward at a brisk walking speed 2 to 3 MPH is recommended.
;
To stop the spray roll the
ON/OFF
lever back to the right side
(TRANSPORT POSITION)
.
NOTE:
When the Spray/Transport
lever is to the right side
(TRANSPORT POSITION)
and the machine is being pushed, the pump is pumping liquid out of the
tank and circulating it back into the tank. This circulation provides agitation and helps keep liquids that are mixed with water in
suspension while walking the sprayer to and from the area being treated.
DO NOT PUSH

TANK EMPTY, PULL

For best results keep enough
liquid in the tank to ensure
the pump supply line remains
filled. Hills and rough
ground can create a “wave
effect” in the tank that will
cause the pump to have an
inconsistent spray or to lose
prime. If this occurs, turn the
control lever to TRANSPORT
and push a few feet to
re-establish the prime and
continue from where you
stopped.
