Step 1:
Attach the (2) Hose Wraps to the

Head Screws
Step 2:

port on manifold, as shown.
Thread Lid on to tank.

Step 2
IMPORTANT:
Remove tank lid and be sure the tank is clean and free of any foreign material. Rinse tank out of any tank residue
before filling with water to test.
Testing the Sprayer
NOTE:
It is VERY important to test this 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.
Fill the tank about 1/2 full with plain water and drive to the starting place for spraying.
Adjust the pressure by turning the
“
ON/OFF
”
valve lever on the Press Adj. valve (Detail B).
Make sure your pattern is sufficient. You may down
-
pressure the system by
‘
bypassing
’
solution back into the tank. This is achieved by opening the press adj. valve. Regulating
pressure is also done in this manner.
Read the operating instructions and initially begin spraying by closing the
‘
Pressure
Adjust
’
valve and squeezing the trigger on the spray gun. This will enable the air in the line
to be eliminated (purged) through the tip, while building pressure. When everything tests
all right (no leaks and good pressure), add the desired chemicals to the mixture and water
combination and start your spraying operation.
Conditions of weather and terrain must be considered when setting the sprayer. Do not
spray on windy days. Protective clothing must be worn in some cases.
Be sure to read the chemical label(s) before application!
Operation
The pumping system draws solution from the tank, through the strainer and to the pump.
The pump forces the solution under pressure to the handgun.
Fill the tank part way with water and then add the desired amount of chemical to be sprayed. Finish filling tank to proper level.
Only fill the tank with what you
’
re going to spray in a day, never leave chemicals sit in tank.
Connect the lead wire to a fully charged 12 volt battery. You may use either a stand
-
alone battery or the battery on your towing
vehicle. Connect to the positive (red) terminal first, then connect to the negative (black) terminal. Then connect the end of the lead
wire to the end of the pump. When disconnecting, disconnect the end of the pump wire from the lead wire, then disconnect the
negative (black) connection and finally the positive (red) connection. The lead wire has an On/Off switch to activate the pump.

is on and

is off.
Turn the pump on and by depressing the
“

”
side of the rocker switch. The pump is equipped with a pressure switch that is pre
-
set
at the factory to shut the pump off when all discharges are closed.
The pump will turn back on when one of the following actions occurs:
Handgun lever is squeezed to spray the handgun.
Bypass valve is opened to re
-
circulate solution back into the tank.
When spraying with either the boom (if applicable) or the handgun, pressure may be reduced by slowly opening the Press. ADJ.
(bypass) valve until desired pressure is achieved. Opening the valve decreases pressure, closing the valve increases pressure. Adjust
the pressure and spray as you did in the testing procedure.
