BLOCKING THE DOSING PORT
1.
Follow steps 1 & 2 for replacing the duckbill valve.
Remove duckbill valve if desired.
Place the rubber valve plug over the dosing port
hole, then replace the retaining ring and rubber
grommet. Do not use the metal shim.
Replace the brass valve plug and tighten until hand-tight.
DO NOT over tighten.

REPLACING TUBING
To disconnect tubing, push in the plastic
collet of the push-to-connect and pull out
the tubing.
Replace damaged tubing with replacement
sections in the field.
Regularly inspect the tubing ends for chemical
residue build-up, deep scoring, and kinks.
NOTE:
Push-to-connect fittings are designed to score the
tubing to hold it firmly in place. Over time, the scoring
becomes deeper and can cause leaking with repeated
connecting and disconnecting. Restore bad tubing ends by
using a sharp box cutter, razor, or knife to make a straight,
vertical cut past the damaged section. Do not use scissors or
shears.

Measure the tree’s Diameter at Breast Height (DBH)
NOTE:
Breast height is commonly measured 4.5 feet above soil
grade.
Root flare
4.5 ft
1.
Refer to the product label and
measure the required dose.
NOTE:
Be sure to wear appropriate
personal protective equipment (PPE) -
refer to the label for required PPE.
2.
Insert the bottle stand into
the ground to support the
bottle.
3.
With the main bottle valve closed, unscrew
the bottle top and pour the measured prod-
uct dose into the bottle, OR use the Q-gun or
iQ-infuser to dose the bottle directly through
the dosing port.

Ensure that the bottle cap is
screwed on securely to seal the
bottle and cap.
NOTE:
Take care to avoid cross-threading
the cap and bottle. Turning the cap
counterclockwise first may help align
the threads before turning clockwise to
tighten on the cap.
5.
Determine the number of
injection sites needed for the
application.
NOTE:
Use ONE injection site for every
TWO inches of tree diameter.
Example: 12” tree = 6 injection sites
# of injection sites =
DBH
2
2” of DBH =
6.
Adjust the harness size to the required
number of injection trees. Use the
black push-to-connect trees to add or
remove tubing and tees.
NOTE:
To use a push-to-connect, press and hold
down the plastic collet and pull out the tubing.
7.
Lay the Q-connect harness around the base of the
tree. Ensure both ends of the harness are con-
nected (connector should “click”) and the harness
is connected to the bottle.
