Operation
the sprayer. For example, Do Not mix and add
chemicals in the spray tank at night and then spray
in the morning. This would lead to separation of
the chemicals and possible damage to the sprayer
components.
Note:
Clean your sprayer thoroughly after all
applications.
Before Operating the Sprayer
Some chemicals are more aggressive than others
and each chemical interacts differently with various
materials. Some consistencies (e.g. wettable powders,
charcoal) are more abrasive and lead to higher than
normal wear rates. If a chemical is available in a
formulation that would provide increased life to the
sprayer, use this alternative formulation.
Make sure the sprayer has been calibrated before
starting (see Calibrating the Sprayer section).
Filling the Spray Tank
Important:
Ensure that the chemicals you will
be using are compatible for use with Viton ®
or fluorcarbon (see the manufacturer's label; it
should indicate if it is not compatible). Using
a chemical that is not compatible with Viton
®
or fluorcarbon will degrade the O-rings in the
sprayer, causing leaks.
Important:
Verify that the proper application
rate has been set prior to filling the tank with
chemicals.
Important:
The tank markings are for reference
only and cannot be considered accurate for
calibration.
1. Stop the machine on a level surface, move motion
control lever to the neutral position, stop the
engine, and set the parking brake.
2. Determine the amount of water needed to mix
the amount of chemical needed as prescribed by
the chemical manufacturer.
3. Open the tank cap on the spray tank.
4. Add 3/4 of the required water to the spray tank.
Important:
Always use fresh clean water in
the spray tank. Do Not pour concentrate into
an empty tank.
5. Start the engine and place the throttle midway
between the “SLOW” and “FAST” positions.
6. Set the spray pump switch to the “ON” position.

7. Move the throttle to the “FAST” position.
Note:
The water in the tank will circulate.
8. Make sure the valving is set for the tank that is
being used (refer to the
Spray Pump Valving in
the Controls section).
9. Add the proper amount of chemical concentrate
to the tank, as directed by the chemical
manufacturer.
Important:
If using a wettable powder, mix
the powder with a small amount of water to
form a slurry before adding it to the tank.
10. Add remaining water to the tank and secure tank
cap.
Note:
Anytime the tank has been run dry, repeat
steps through . This will reduce the time required
to purge the system of air.
Extending and Folding the Outer
Spray Booms
The outer spray booms can be rotated forward to
extend the boom or rearward to fold the boom.
