Operating Instructions
Spraying with the Spray Gun
1. Fill the tank with some water in order to test for leaks.
2. Prepare the sprayer for spraying by closing the Boom
Control valve (1) (Figure 1, pg 9) in the boom supply line.
3. The sprayer is equipped with a recirculation valve (2)
(Figure 1, pg 9) to aid in material agitation and pressure
control. The closed position for this valve is full pressure
for the boom and spray wand. NOTE: It may be helpful
to adjust the pressure when spraying with the spray
wand to avoid damage to plants from excess pressure.
4. Start the utility vehicle and engage the pump by turning
on the power switch (2) (Figure 2, pg 5) on the wiring
harness. Check the sprayer to be sure that there are no
leaks in any of the lines.
5. Turn off the pump using the power switch (2) (Figure 2,
pg 5) on the wiring harness.
6. You may now fill the tank with the correct amount of
water and chemicals recommended by the chemical
being used.
7. After the tank is full, engage the pump by turning on the
power switch (2) (Figure 2, pg 5) and allow the water to
circulate to ensure proper mixing of the chemicals and
water. You are now ready to begin spraying.
8. Upon arriving at the spraying location, engage the
pump. Press the trigger on the spray gun to engage the
gun. NOTE: The tip at the end of the gun can be turned
to adjust the spray pattern.
9. When you are ready to spray, point the gun in the
desired direction and squeeze the trigger on the spray
gun. The pump will automatically start when the spray
gun is engaged.
10. The spray gun’s liquid flow can be adjusted by turning
the spray tip (1) at the end of the spray gun wand. The
spray gun’s trigger can also be locked in the “on” position
by sliding the plastic tab (2) on the top of the trigger
towards yourself (Figure 4).
sprayer is now ready to begin spraying.
11. Upon arriving at the spraying location, unfold the boom
extensions (1) (Figure 3).
12. Engage the pump by turning on the power switch (2)
(Figure 2, pg 5), open the Boom Control valve (1) (Figure
1, pg 9).
13. Spraying Tips :
•
Do not let sprayer run in one spot.
•
Do not over spray when you use weed killers.
•
Turn sprayer off during turns to avoid double
spraying.
14. When the sprayer tank is empty, or you have finished
spraying, turn off the sprayer with the power switch (2)
(Figure 2, pg 5).
