Servicing Your System

When the liquid is low and the drum needs to be refilled, the Float Switch 

will automatically shut the system off and the red light will turn on.

To service and refill the system, use the following procedure:

1.  Unplug the system from the power supply.

2.  Lift the lid and set it to one side of the drum top. Normal refilling does not require 

that you completely remove the lid from the drum; but if you do remove it, take care 
to not crimp or damage the discharge tubing, intake tubing float line, or check valve 
assembly.

3.  Inspect the intake filter and clean, if necessary. We recommend changing the intake 

filter annually and replacing every two (2) years.

4.  Check the interior of the drum for residue or dirt. Flush and clean the drum before 

adding water and concentrate.

 If the drum appears clean, just add concentrate and 

water.

NOTE: If flushing out the drum; consider collecting the insecticide at the bottom of the 

drum prior to cleaning and spreading it on your manure pile. 

5.  Fill the drum about halfway with water. Put the lid back on the drum (being careful to 

not pinch the float line or tubing) Plug the system to the power source.

6.  Open the bleed valve and hold in the drum. Flip the toggle switch to 

“TEST.”

 Once 

the liquid is flowing through the bleed valve, close it. Check the pressure gauge is be-
tween 190psi and 210psi. Use the pressure regulating valve to adjust, if needed. 

7.  Inspect all spray nozzles and confirm spray is a fine, even mist. If nozzles pail to spray 

properly, se the Troubleshooting Guide.

8.  With the nozzles spraying as desired; flip the toggle switch to 

“OFF.” 

Slide the lid to 

the side of the drum top. Add insecticide concentrate and continue filling the drum 
with clean water to four (4) inches from the top. Put the lid back on the drum, making 
sure not to pinch the float line, and latch in place.

9.  Reset the timer clock, if needed. Flip the toggle switch to the 

“AUTO”

 position.
