Calibration 

Chemical labels may show application rates in gallons per acre, gallons per 1000 square feet or gallons per  

100 square feet. You will note that the tip chart shows  

3 of these rating systems. Once you know how much you are going to spray, then determine (from the tip chart) the 

spraying pressure (PSI), and the spraying speed (MPH). 

 

Determining the proper speed of the pulling vehicle can be done by marking off 100, 200 & 300 feet. The speed chart 

indicates the number of seconds it takes to travel the distances. Set the throttle and with a running start, travel the dis-

tances. Adjust the throttle until you travel the distances in the number of seconds indicated by the speed chart. Once 

you have reached the throttle setting needed, mark the throttle location so you can stop and go again, returning to the 

same speed. 

 

Add water and proper amount of chemical to the tank and drive to the starting place for spraying. 

Using the Boom Nozzles 

Four things must be considered before spraying with the boom. 

 

How much chemical must be mixed in the tank. 

 

Rate of spray (gallons per acre to be sprayed). 

 

What pressure (p.s.i.) will be used. 

 

Speed traveled (mph) while spraying. 

 

Refer to the chemical label to determine your chemical mixture 

 

See the tip chart to determine the pressure to be used. The chart will also show the speed used when spraying. 

 

Start the pump and open the valve to the boom nozzles. 

 

Check the spray pattern. Usually you can see the coverage better on a solid concrete surface, such as a driveway. 

 

Maintenance During/After Spraying 

Periodically check the strainer and clean the screen on your intake line. 

 

If sprayer becomes clogged during use, discontinue use immediately. DO NOT attempt to service while chemicals are in 

the sprayer and power is connected. 

 

Proper care and maintenance will prolong the life of your sprayer. 

 

After use, drain the tank and store or dispose of chemical properly. Fill the sprayer half way with clean water. Start the 

pump and allow the water to pump through the entire plumbing system and nozzles. Drain and then refill half full, add 

the recommended amount of a good quality tank cleaner, such as FIMCO Tank Neutralizer and Cleaner. (If no tank 

cleaner is available, you may substitute dish soap for this step, about 1-2 oz. per gallon). But a neutralizer/cleaner 

should be used to thoroughly clean the system. Turn pump on and circulate through system for 15 minutes and then 

spray out through boom and handgun nozzles. Refill sprayer half way with clean water and repeat. Follow the chemical 

manufacturer’s disposal instructions of all wash or rinsing water.  

If boom or handgun nozzles need cleaning, remove them from the sprayer and soak in warm soapy water. Clean with a 

soft bristled brush or toothpick if necessary. Never use a metal object. Even the slightest damage can change the flow 

rate and spray distribution. Water rinse and dry the tips before storing. 

 

WARNING: 

Some chemicals will damage the pump valves if allowed to soak untreated for a length of time! ALWAYS 

flush the pump as instructed after each  use. DO NOT allow chemicals to sit in the pump for extended times of idleness. 

Follow the chemical manufacturer’s instructions on disposal of all waste water from the sprayer.
