It is always recommended that you first test all spray equipment thoroughly with clean
water. There are a few accessories available for Lightfoot Sprayers and each will have its
own spraying characteristics due to the number and size of nozzles, the diameter and length
of hose.
The LIGHTFOOT may be supplied with a Spray Gun containing 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.
Check all pipes, hoses, hose clamps and connections for leaks or damage.
5.
Switch the pump ON.
6.
The pump is self-priming and should start spraying within 30 seconds.
7.
Check the hose connections for leaks if any are found stop the pump and rectify the
problem before continuing.
8.
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 (alternatively fit a pressure
regulator for managing pressure and flow)
9.
Once the nozzle is set and the pump operates free of pulsation/cycling, the sprayer is
ready to be utilized.
NOTE: PRESSURE REGULATOR IS LOCATED AT THE BACK OF TANK ON 12V SPRAYERS.
