OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
e.
Bring the wire to the solenoid mounted on the
reel frame and cut it off at the proper length.
Attach a 5/16" ring terminal to the wire and
connect it to the large solenoid terminal opposite
the one to which the reel motor lead is
connected.
f.
Ground the frame of the sprayer to the vehicle
body as follows:
NOTE:
If the sprayer has been properly bolted to
the frame of the vehicle with bolts passing through
or over the sprayer's frame and the vehicle's
frame, the sprayer Is grounded, this step may be
omitted.
1.
Locate a vehicle body bolt near or under the
sprayer's frame that can be easily removed
and replaced.
2.
Place a bolt through the nearest punched hole
in the sprayer's frame.
3.
Cut the remaining #8 wire to the proper length
to reach between these two bolts. Strip
approximately one inch of insulation from each
end of the wire.
4.
Remove the bolts or nuts and scratch off any
paint that would prevent making metal to metal
contact.
5.
Wrap the stripped end of the wire around each
bolt and replace the bolts or nuts.
f.
Reconnect the ground cable removed from the
battery in Step a.
g.
Test the circuit by pulling some hose from the
reel and then pushing the reel switch located on
the reel mounting frame. The reel should
retrieve the hose. If your vehicle has a positive
ground system, the reel will run in reverse and
spill out hose. To make the reel rotate in the
proper direction, reverse the reel motor leads.
Take the motor lead that goes to the solenoid
and interchange it with the lead that is grounded
to the motor mounting.
C.SPRAYING
1. Starting the Sprayer
(Gasoline-Powered)
a. Check the fuel supply and engine oil level.
b. Check the level of the oil in the pump. It should
be halfway up the sight tube.
c. Check the pressure in the pump's pulsation
damper. The pressure should be 10% of the
expected operating pressure.
d. Clean the in-line strainer if it is dirty.
e. Fill the tank one third full with clean water.
f. Make certain the gate valve in the suction line is
open and the outlet ball valves are closed.
g. Open the operating lever on the pump's
pressure regulator so there will be no load on
the pump when you start the engine.
h. Start the engine.
i. Run the pump at zero pressure for one minute to
remove any air from the system.
j. Close the operating lever on the pressure
regulator and adjust the pressure to about 100
psi for a flow rate of 1-1/2 to 3 gallons per
minute.
k. Open the ball valve in the hose to the application
device. Check the flow rate out of the application
device with a calibrated container.
(See Calibration.)
l. Adjust the flow rate by adjusting the ball valve in
the line to the agitator or by adjusting the
pressure regulator. When the flow rate is
correct, close the ball valve in the hose to the
application device and note the pressure setting.
You should be able to produce the same flow
rate at any time by returning the pressure to this
setting as long as no change has been made in
the hose or application device.
m. You are now ready to add the product to the
tank with the sprayer running under full agitation.
n. After the product is completely mixed, fill the
tank to the proper level with clean water.
