Hand Spray Gun Operation
To operate the hand spray gun, unroll the hand spray gun
hose from the hose wrap. With the boom control valve
turned “off”, rotate the hand spray gun control valve “on”.
With the hand spray gun pointed away from any person or
body part, squeeze the trigger. Adjust the pressure regulat -

Utility Skid Sprayer Operation
Boom Operation
Move the sprayer to the area to be sprayed. Unfold the
boom to the extended position. Be sure that all people
and animals are clear of the spray zone. Engage the boom
nozzle valves on the Hypro manual valve.
Tip charts are included for booms on Page 9. The boom
tip chart shows the rates for a typical TeeJet broadcast
tapered spray nozzle (11002VS [yellow] tip is standard
for the Flat Fold Boom). Refer to the specific tip chart if a
specialty nozzle is used.
Spray Boom Example: Select the section of the chart for
11002VS (yellow) tips. The ground conditions will allow
you to spray at 5 mph. You want to apply 10.3 GPA of the
spray chemical. The chart shows that you want to set the
control for 30 PSI. A variety of pressure/speed combina-
tions can be used to apply a given rate.
Contact the Wylie Spray Center if a different size or style
of nozzle is needed.
The Flat Fold Boom is equipped with spring breakaways
which will help protect the boom if an obstruction is hit, but
care should be taken to not contact humans or animals
with the boom.
See Page 10 for maintenance and end of day/season
procedure.
Do not point the spray hand gun toward any
person or body part. The chemical and/or spray
pressure can cause serious or fatal injuries.
