SETTING THE SPRAY (RUN) TIME:
To check the wheel coverage, have an assistant drive the forklift in a straight line at
normal operating speeds, through a doorway fitted with the reflective tape. Observe the
spray patterns and coverage on each wheel and determine if the run time will be
adequate for your tire size and ensure full coverage of all tread areas.
The spray time (pump run time) is preset on the pumping unit to 3 seconds, providing
approximately 1.5oz/application, split between the four nozzles. The speed you are
traveling and the tire size will determine the overall tire coverage. In most cases the
average solid tired forklift traveling at moderate speeds of 2-4 mph will not require any
adjustment to cover the entire wheel surface. If your condition requires a longer or
shorter application, you can adjust the run time of the pumping module by removing the
battery and the pump cover and setting the dipswitch(s) to achieve the correct application
time. (Figure 22)
Refer to the chart below for alternate run times.

Select time by selecting one dip switch only. Turning “ON” more than one dip switch
will result in lower run times.

OPERATING THE SYSTEM:
T
O OPERATE THE SYSTEM PERFORM THE FOLLOWING
:
As the operator travels through a door or entryway the sensor signal is reflected back
from the reflective tape and the pumping module sprays to cover the surface of the
rotating tires with sanitizer. To ensure adequate coverage on steer wheels, all effort
should be made to install the system in a location that provides a straight direction of
travel during application.
Refill or replace the sanitizer solution as necessary, making sure the container has the
appropriate Safety Feed insert installed.
