OPERATION
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
40psi. When the pump senses that pressure has dropped (by
triggering the wand or boom nozzles) the pump will again start
and continue to run until 40psi 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.
PUMP OPERATIONS
DETERMINE WEIGHT FOR SPRAYER
CAUTION:
Avoid injury!
Excessive towed load can cause loss of traction
and loss of control on slopes. Stopping distance
increases with speed and weight of towed load.
Total towed weight must not exceed combined
weight of pulling machine, ballast and operator.
CAUTION:
Avoid injury!
If additional weight is required when towing, add
weight at or forward of the rear wheels. Adding
weight behind the rear wheels can affect
machine steering. Refer to your towing machine
manual.
The following maximum loaded weight capacity is the sprayer
loaded with 15 gallons of water.
• Sprayer Empty Weight
= 35 lbs
• Maximum Load Capacity
= 125 lbs (15 gallons of water)
• Sprayer and Maximum Load Capacity
Combined Towed Weight
=
35 lbs (Empty Sprayer)
+ 125 lbs (Maximum Load Capacity)
=
160 lbs
Towing capacity will vary with weight of towing machine and
operator.
Example:
If towing machine weighs:
400 lbs
+ Operators Weight:
200 lbs
Combined weight total:
600 lbs
To maintain stability using the machine in this example, you
cannot safely tow more than 600 lbs without first adding
additional ballast to the towing machine.
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 Wand Tip clockwise for a fine mist or counterclockwise for
a course spray.
WAND OPERATIONS
CAUTION:
Avoid injury!
Always turn pump off when making adjustments
to the Wand Tip. Wear eye protection.
BOOM SPRAYING
Normal downward
spraying configuration
and is controlled by the
operator in the seated
position.
BOOM OPERATIONS
WAND SPRAYING
For spraying in a
vertical orientation such
as along fences or
hedges, use the wand
operation.
