Operation – Using the Sprayer
5. Adjust
pressure and
agitation as
needed
-Rotate the pressure adjustment knob until the sprayer is running at the desired
pressure.
1. Turn knob clockwise to increase pressure
2. Turn knob counter clockwise to decrease pressure
Note: If the pressure adjustment knob is completely tightened, the pressure
setting will be higher than the pressure switch on the pump. This allows the
pump to operate as a demand pump and turn on only when spraying.
6. Begin
agitation if
needed
Some formulations of liquid pesticides do not remain in solution and should be
agitated to maintain a uniform mix.
The pressure regulator equipped on this sprayer can be used as an agitator. If the
pressure is set below the pump’s pressure switch setting (70 psi), the pump will
continue to run even when not spraying. Fluid will be diverted through the
pressure regulator back to the tank. This bypass fluid will keep the contents of
the tank well-mixed, and allow the sprayer to be used with pesticides classified
as “flowable” (“F” or “L”), “wetable power” (“WP” or “W”), “emulsion” (“EC”
or “E”). “microencapsulated” (“M”), or “water dispersible granules” (“WDG” or
“DF”)
