1.
General
Check all the bolts on the sprayer for tightness.
Make certain all hose clamps are tight. Check that
the tank straps are tight on poly-tank sprayers.
Check that the pulleys and belts are tight and
aligned on fiberglass tank sprayers. (For pulley
and belt adjustment, see the Maintenance Section
on page 13.) Check that electrical connections are
sound on electric sprayers.
2.
Installation In a Van or Pickup Truck
Once the sprayer is in the desired position in your
van or pickup truck, it should be securely bolted
through the truck bed to the vehicle's frame. Bolts
should be used at each corner of the sprayer's
frame and should be either cap screws placed
through the holes punched in the frame for this
purpose or large U-bolts or J-bolts over the
sprayer's steel frame and down through the truck
bed to the vehicle's frame. Bolts of at least 3/8"
diameter should be used for a 50 gallon sprayer,
1/2" diameter for a 100 gallon sprayer, 5/8"
diameter for a 200 gallon sprayer and 7/8" for a
300 gallon sprayer. Mounting hardware is not
supplied for the sprayer because the installation
will vary with each vehicle.
3.
Wiring
The following instructions are for providing
electrical power to the electric hose reel if your
sprayer is so equipped. The vehicle's or sprayer's
battery should be a 12-Volt DC automotive-type.
THE VEHICLE CAN HAVE EITHER A POSITIVE
OR NEGATIVE GROUND SYSTEM AND
THEREFORE POLARITY IS NOT SHOWN ON
THE WIRING DIAGRAM.

WIRING DIAGRAM
Wiring Instructions
a.
DISCONNECT THE GROUND CABLE FROM
THE VEHICLE'S BATTERY.
b.
Install the circuit breaker in the engine
compartment near the vehicle's battery but away
from sources of heat or humidity.
c.
Cut the required length of #8 wire to reach from
the ungrounded terminal of the battery to the
terminal marked "BAT" on the circuit breaker.
Attach a 5/16" ring terminal on one end and a #10
ring terminal on the other end. Connect this wire
to the ungrounded terminal of the battery and the
terminal marked "BAT" on the circuit breaker.
d.
Attach a #10 ring terminal to one end of the
remaining #8 wire and connect it to the terminal
marked "AUX" on the circuit breaker.
Work the loose end of the #8 wire either under the
vehicle or through the fire wall (depending on your
vehicle) to reach the sprayer. Take advantage of
any existing cable ties or clamps along the way to
support the wire and use the enclosed cable ties
where needed.
