Operating the Sprayer
To operate the Multi Pro Sprayer, first fill the spray
tank, then apply the solution to the work area, and
finally clean the tank. Complete all 3 of these steps
in sequence to avoid damaging the sprayer. For
example, do not mix and add chemicals in the spray
tank at night and then spray in the morning. This
would lead to separation of the chemicals and to
possible damage to the sprayer components.
CAUTION
Chemicals are hazardous and can cause
personal injury.
•
Read the directions on the chemical labels
before handling the chemicals, and follow
all manufacturer recommendations and
precautions.
•
Keep chemicals away from your skin.
Should contact occur, wash the affected
area thoroughly with soap and clean water.
•
Wear goggles and any other protective
equipment recommended by the chemical
manufacturer.
The Multi Pro Sprayer has been specifically designed
to have high durability in order to give it the long
sprayer life you need. Different materials have been
chosen for specific reasons at different locations on
your sprayer to meet this goal. Unfortunately, there is
no single material which is perfect for all foreseeable
applications.
Some chemicals are more aggressive than others,
and each chemical interacts differently with various
materials. Some consistencies (e.g., wettable
powders, charcoal) are more abrasive and lead
to higher-than-normal wear rates. If a chemical is
available in a formulation that would provide increased
life to the sprayer, use this alternative formulation.
As always, remember to clean your sprayer thoroughly
after all applications. This will do the most to ensure
that your sprayer has a long and trouble-free life.
Using the Differential Lock
The differential lock increases the sprayer’s traction
by locking the rear wheels so that 1 wheel will not spin
out. This can help when you have heavy loads to haul
on wet turf or slippery areas, going up hills, and on
sandy surfaces. It is important to remember, however,
that this extra traction is intended for temporary
or limited use. Its use does not replace the safe
operation, already discussed concerning steep hills
and heavy loads.
The differential lock causes the rear wheels to turn at
the same speed. When using differential lock your
ability to make sharp turns is somewhat restricted and
the tires may scuff the turf. Use the differential lock
only when needed, at slower speeds and only in first
or second gear.
WARNING
Tipping or rolling the sprayer on a hill will
cause serious injury.
•
The extra traction available with the
differential lock can be enough to get you
into dangerous situations such as climbing
slopes that are too steep to turn around.
Be extra careful when operating with the
differential lock on, especially on steeper
slopes.
•
If the differential lock is on when making a
sharp turn at a higher speed and the inside
rear wheel lifts off the ground, there may
be a loss of control which could cause the
sprayer to skid. Use the differential lock
only at slower speeds.
Filling the Fresh-Water
Tank
Always fill the fresh-water tank with clean water before
handling or mixing any chemicals.
The fresh-water tank is located on the left side of the
ROPS bar. It supplies a source of fresh water for
you to wash chemicals off your skin, eyes, or other
surfaces in the case of accidental exposure.
To open the fresh-water tank spigot, turn the lever on
the spigot.
Filling the Spray Tank
Install the Chemical Pre-Mix Kit for optimal mixing and
exterior tank cleanliness.
Important:
Ensure that the chemicals you will
be using are compatible for use with Viton
TM
(see
the manufacturer's label; it should indicate if it
is not compatible). Using a chemical that is not
compatible with Viton
TM
will degrade the O-rings
in the sprayer, causing leaks.
Important:
Verify that the proper application
rate has been set prior to filling the tank with
chemicals.
1.
Stop the sprayer on a level surface, move the
range selector to the N
EUTRAL
position, shut off
the engine, and set the parking brake.
