IMPORTANT: Before spraying, read this entire manual and know all safety precautions. Always take your time and be alert when
operating your sprayer in order to avoid an accident.
Operating Instructions
Spraying with the Boom
1. Calibrate the sprayer using the preceding calibration
instructions and chart. This will determine your speed
and GPA or Gallons/1000 Sq. Ft. when spraying.
2. Fill the tank with some water in order to test for leaks.
3. Prepare the sprayer for spraying by opening the Boom
Control ball valve (1) (Figure 1) in the boom supply line.
It is recommended that the valve is operated in full
open position NOTE: The open position for ball valves
are in line with the hose, and the closed position is
perpendicular to the hose.
4. The sprayer is equipped with a Recirculation ball valve
(2) (Figure 1) to aid in material agitation and pressure
control. The closed position for this valve is full pressure
for the boom and spray wand. NOTE: This valve should
be closed when spraying with the boom.
5. Start the utility vehicle and engage the pump by turning
on the power switch (2) (Figure 2, pg 5) on the wiring
harness. Check the sprayer to be sure that there are no
leaks in any of the hoses.
6. Test spray pattern with water on driveway or sidewalk.
Each spray tip pattern should spread out to the right and
left sides, rather than to the front and back of the boom.
NOTE: If the spray patterns from the tips (1) (Figure 2) are
hitting the sprayer, angle the tips until the spray pattern
clears the sprayer. To adjust the spray tip angle, loosen
spray tip cap nut (3). Align spray tip (1) and tighten cap
nut (See Figure 2).
7. There should be some spray overlap between each tip
and the spray patterns should be consistent. If the spray
pattern is inconsistent, the tips (1) (Figure 2) may be
worn out and need replaced, or there is a clog in the tip
strainer (see the “Routine Maintenance” section).
8. Turn off the pump using the power switch (2) (Figure 1,
pg 6) on the wiring harness.
9. Fill the tank with the correct amount of water and
chemicals as is recommended for the chemical
being used. IMPORTANT: Liquid spray material is
recommended. Sprayer does not agitate wettable
powders.
10. After the tank is full, close the Boom Control Valve (1)
(Figure 1), engage the pump by turning on the power
switch (2) (Figure 1, pg 6) and allow the water to circulate
to ensure proper mixing of the chemicals and water. The
