General Information

Thank you for purchasing this product. The purpose of this 

manual is to assist you in operating and maintaining your utility 

sprayer. Please read it carefully, as it furnishes information which 

will help you achieve years of trouble-free operation.

Open the tank lid and be sure the tank is clean and free of foreign 

material. Fill the tank about 1/2 full with plain water.

NOTE:

It is VERY important for you to test your sprayer with plain 

water before actual spraying is attempted. This will enable 

you to check the sprayer for leaks, without the possibility of 

losing any expensive chemicals.

Before starting, open the suction line valve. (located near the 

pump) Check for leaks.

Open the valve for the boom. Make sure your pattern is sufficient. 

You may decrease pressure in the system by 'bypassing' solution 

back into the tank. This is achieved by opening the valve 

opposite of the boom valve. Regulating pressure is done in this 

manner.

During the testing period, be sure to observe the spray pattern 

given by the spray nozzles. If there is any pattern distortion, it will 

be necessary to remove and clean the affected tips.

Caution: Never use a metal object or other sharp item for 

cleaning a nozzle tip. It is better to use a nozzle brush (NOT 

wire brush) or compressed air for tip cleaning.
