It is always recommended that you first test all spray equipment thoroughly with clean water. The Traylink is
supplied with both a Spray gun for spot spraying and a boom or boomless nozzle.
SETUP AND TESTING FOR SPOT SPRAYING:
For this set up ensure that the manual section valve to the boom-less nozzles is closed and the section valve
to the spray gun is open. The supplied SpotJet Spray Gun contains a large orifice blue adjustable nozzle, which
when twisting the tip can allow for a greater flow of liquid. It is recommended that adjustable nozzle is used
first and can be changed later if you require.
1.
Be sure to wear safety equipment as recommended by the chemical manufacturer before adding
chemical to the sprayer
2.
Check the filter is clean and undamaged (see Maintenance section).
3.
Fill the tank with clean water.
4.
Ensure the 6-meter spray hose and spray lance is connected. Fit the blue adjustable nozzle or any large
orifice nozzle you may wish to use).
5.
Check all pipes, hoses, hose clamps and connections for leaks or damage.
6.
Check the hose connections for leaks if any are found stop the pump and rectify the problem before
continuing.
7.
Twist the tip of the nozzle to the coarsest droplet size so that restriction to flow is minimized.
8.
Turn the regulator control knob anticlockwise (this opens the variable orifice and allows for maximum
bypass of fluid).
9.
Switch the pump ON.
10.
The pump is self-priming and should start spraying within 30 seconds. Depress the spray lance trigger to
flush air from the lines.
Note:
The initial pressure to the spray lance will be low
11.
Slowly turn the control knob clockwise (this reduces the bypass orifice size) and increasing pressure to
the nozzles until you reach your selected spray pressure or until the pump begins to pulsate/cycle on and
off.
12.
Slowly twist the tip of the nozzle from a course droplet size to a fine droplet to your preference or until
the pump begins to pulsate/cycle on and off.
Note:
Some fine tune adjusting may be required between
the nozzle and regulator to acquire a suitable pressure and droplet size for your application.
13.
If the pump begins to cycle on/off, you may require a different nozzle that is rated to allow for higher flow
rates at your selected droplet size
14.
Once the nozzle is set and the pump operates free of pulsation/cycling, the spot sprayer is ready to be
utilized for spot spraying of chemical.
SETUP AND TESTING FOR BOOM LESS SPRAYING:
For this set up ensure that the manual section valves to the boom-less nozzles to the spray gut are closed.
1.
Be sure to wear safety equipment as recommended by the chemical manufacturer before adding
chemical to the sprayer
2.
Check the filter is clean and undamaged (see Maintenance section).
3.
Fill the tank with clean water.
4.
Check all pipes, hoses, hose clamps and connections for leaks or damage.
5.
Check the hose connections for leaks if any are found stop the pump and rectify the problem before
continuing.
6.
Turn the regulator control knob anticlockwise (this opens the variable orifice and allows for maximum
bypass of fluid).
7.
Switch the pump ON.
8.
The pump is self-priming, and fluid will quickly start bypassing back into the tank for agitation
9.
Open the section valve to the boom-less spray nozzles. Spraying will quickly commence.
10.
Slowly turn the control knob clockwise (this reduces the bypass orifice size) and increasing pressure to
the nozzles until you reach your selected spray pressure or until the pump begins to pulsate/cycle on and
off.
11.
If required, you can also adjust the angle of the boom-less nozzles to add additional control over swath
width. (
Note:
positioning the nozzles at extreme angles may over or under extend the sprayed area
resulting in uneven spray patterns.
Warning: Spray units must not be operated while the pump is pulsating/cycling because it can cause premature
component failure.
Chemical solution may now be added to the tank. Follow the mixing instructions and safety
precautions provided by the chemical manufacturer. Before adding concentrated chemicals, partially fill the tank with
water then add the chemical and complete filling with water. Wear all the safety equipment recommended by the
chemical manufacturer before adding chemical to the sprayer and whilst conducting spraying operations.
