Troubleshooting a 1.0 g.p.m. Pump:
Pump will NOT run:
- Check inline fuse on the wires on the pump. If blown,
replace with new fuse. (5 Amp mini-blade fuse...#5157204)
- Make sure BOTH on/off switches are in the 'on' position (-).
- Make sure you 12 volt source (battery) is fully charged.
- Insure a tight connection at the battery clips.
If none of the above will work, try pulling wire terminal "A" off
of the spade terminal of the pressure switch, and cross it
over and touch terminal "B". (You will need to remove the
pressure switch cap before doing this) If your pump runs
when you do this, you know you will need to replace your
Another thing you can try is to take apart the switch box on
the lead wire assembly (#5274443) with the (2) phillips head
screws, and 'hot-wire' it together. Take the (2) wires that are
screwed to the rocker switch, off of the switch and twist
them together. This will insure you are getting the full 12
volts to the pump. If your pump runs after doing this, you will
know that your lead wire assembly needs to be replaced.
Pump runs, but does not prime:
- Check line strainer (screen) at the inlet location, at the
tank. You will need to unscrew the knurled nut to access
this screen. (see exploded view later in this manual) The
tank should be empty while performing this, otherwise you
may need to tilt the tank backwards a little bit so any
solution in the tank will be away from this inlet location.
Periodically take the screen at this location out and clean it.
- Unscrew (2) screws "S". This will allow you to inspect the
bearing and counterweight.
- Both the counterweight and the bearing need to spin
freely, and they both need to spin INDEPENDENT of each
other. If these 2 pieces are 'stuck' together, you will need to
break them free with some good quality lubricant or something
similar and this should restore most of your prime.

Battery Charging
It is a good idea to charge the battery for 8-10 hours
before using the sprayer, especially if you plan to spray
for a long period of time. this will insure that the battery is
fully charged.
Charging the battery may be done as follows...
Insert the plug (which is molded onto the end of
1.
the charger wire) into the jack, which is located on
the rear of the sprayer.
Plug the charger into a 110 Volt AC electric
2.
receptacle.
Disconnect the plug from the jack and the charger
3.
from the electrical outlet when the charging
operation is complete.
CAUTION:
Do not leave the charger connected to the
battery for longer than 20 hours, as it may cause
premature battery failure.
Winter Storage
Drain all water out of your sprayer, paying special
attention to the pump, handgun, and valve(s). These
items are especially prone to damage from chemicals
and freezing weather.
The sprayer should be winterized before storage by
pumping a solution of RV antifreeze through the entire
plumbing system. This antifreeze solution should remain
in the plumbing system during the winter months. When
spring time comes and you are preparing your sprayer
for the spray season, rinse the entire plumbing system
out, clearing the lines of the antifreeze solution. Proper
care and maintenance will prolong the life of your
sprayer.
After Spraying
After use, fill the sprayer tank part way with water. Start the
sprayer, and allow the clear water to be pumped through the
plumbing system and out through the spray nozzles.
Refill the tank about half full with plain water and use FIMCO
Tank Neutralizer and Cleaner, and repeat cleaning instructions
above.
Flush the entire sprayer with the neutralizing/cleaning agent,
then flush out one more time with plain water. Follow the
chemical manufacturer's disposal instructions of all wash or
rinsing water.
For the boom, (if applicable) remove the tips and screens from
the nozzle assemblies. Wash these items out thoroughly. Blow
the orifice clean and dry. If the orifice remains clogged, clean it
with a fine bristle (NOT WIRE) brush, or with a toothpick. Do
not damage the orifice. Water rinse and dry the tips before
storing.
WARNING: Some chemicals will damage the pump valves
if allowed to soak untreated for a length of time! ALWAYS
flush the pump as instructed after each use.
