CAUTION:
Avoid injury! Always turn the pump off when making
adjustments to the tip of the wand. Wear eye protection.
OPERATION
================================================================================================
======================================================
PUMP OPERATIONS
The pump motor supplied with your sprayer is a “demand
flow” type pump. An internal pressure switch in the pump
turns the pump off when the pressure reaches approximately
40 psi. When the pump senses that pressure has dropped (by
triggering the wand) the pump will again start and continue to
run until 40 psi is reached.
NOTE: Pump surge should be avoided. It can cause
the pump motor to overheat resulting in damage to the
pump. Refer to the Wand Operations Section for tips
on how to avoid pump surge.
NOTE: Do not run pump dry. Doing so will cause
pump failure, resulting in inability to pump liquid.
WAND OPERATIONS
The wand can be used for spraying in various applications
from a steady stream to a fine mist. Adjust the spray pattern by
turning the tip of the Hand Wand (1) clockwise for a fine mist or
counterclockwise for a course spray.
Pump Surge
Pump surge may occur when using the wand for fine mist
applications. Do not allow this to occur. The pump is designed
for continuous duty. Intermittent starting and stopping will cause
the pump motor to overheat. To eliminate pump surge:
1. Open the wand tip to a higher flow rate
2. Create a by-pass that allows the pump to run continuous
by removing one of the boom hoses near the tip (see Step
5). Remove the tank fill cap and place the hose in the tank.
Open the valve for the boom slowly until the pump runs
continuously. Adjust the wand tip to the desired mist.
BOOM OPERATIONS
Boom spraying is the normal spraying configuration and is
controlled by the operator in the seated position.
For spraying in a vertical orientation such as along fences or
hedges, use the wand operation.
APPLICATION RATE
Wand
Understanding the following information about your sprayer
will help to calibrate the application rate. The sprayer
operates at a fixed pressure of 40 psi. This results in actual
spraying time of 30 minutes using the handgun.

VEHICLE REQUIREMENTS
The lawn sprayer requires a vehicle with a 12-volt battery
and charging system, and a mounting kit in order to operate
properly.
The vehicle should have operable brakes capable of
controllingthe loaded sprayer.
SPEED CALIBRATION
By measuring off a distance of 50 or 100 feet, the speed
of the vehicle can be calibrated by selecting a gear and
throttle position to cover the prescribed distance in the
specified time as shown:
