SETUP INSTRUCTIONS
The Ratcheting Valve
When the ears of the tab on the ratcheting valve are
in line with pipe, water will flow to the rear sprayer.
When the tab is not in line with the pipe coming from
the valve, the sprayer is off. The rope needs to be
pulled completely to fully turn the tab on top in
order to work. A partial pull will result in partial flow
out of the rear sprayers. To reset a partially open
ratchet valve, it pull the rope fully again to turn off
flow and then re-pull the rope fully to open again.
To ensure the sprayer is "on" make sure the silver
“eared” tab is fully in line with the tubing.
To ensure that the sprayers are "off" make sure the
silver tab is not in line with the tubing. The tab will
run perpendicular to the tubing.
Additional information on proper Ratchet Valve care
and use can be found on page 9.

Tank Valve:
(bottom valve in photo)
Crack open this valve when sending water to the
sprayers or the fire hose. One way to control the
amount of water coming out of the sprayers is by
adjusting how far open or closed this valve is.
When the valve arm is in line with the valve the water
flow is fully open (see photo). When it is not in line
with the valve is closed. Crack this valve open when
using the optional fire hose, close this valve fully
when using the optional pond fill system
Return Valve:
(right hand side from tractor seat)
This valve allows water to recirculate back into the
tank. This valve should be opened just a little when
using the sprayers or optional fire hose. Opening
fully will reduce the flow of water to the sprayers or
optional fire hose, closing will increase water to the
sprayers or optional fire hose. For use with the
optional pond fill hose this valve must be fully
opened to fill the tank.
Sprayer Boom:
The sprayers are able to spray between 8’ --21’ by
setup. You can adjust these by turning the brass
heads to cover more area. The 2 outside sprayers
can both be shut off to control how much of an
area is covered. This also gives you even more
control over how much water is applied.

Hose Connector:
This is where the optional hose will connect. In
order for the hose to work properly you need to
shut off the ratcheting top valve (covered above).
Shut off the ratcheting valve, open the tank valve
and crack the return valve when using the optional
hose.
Pond Fill system:
This optional feature allows you to fill the tank
using a pond, river, creek, etc. to operate this
attachment you will need to shut off the sprayers,
using the ratcheting valve, and open the pond fill
valve shown in the picture. Close the tank valve,
and you will open the return valve fully. Make sure
the pump has been primed and either remove the
top fill lid or open it slightly to allow water to fill the
tank. You will also need to secure the fill head into
a small bucket to help prevent sucking up debris
into the hose and tank.

Basic Maintenance:
Pump/Motor
Refer to the manuals provided by the pump and motor manufacturer for maintenance
instructions for the respective components. This can be located in the document holder
connected to the frame on the front of the Water Trailer
• Never run the Motor and Pump for long periods of time without water in the system.
Operating the Pump and Motor while the system is empty may result in damage to the
Pump seals or impeller. When the Water Trailer is empty shut off the Motor to prevent
any damage to the Pump and Motor.
• Always use a gas stabilizer in the gas used in the motor for the Water Trailer. Failure to
use gas stabilizer in the fuel may result in issues with the Motor functionality.
• When the motor is not in use, during transport or after operation; make sure to shut off
the gas flow to the engine. Information on shutting off the gas flow to the engine can
be found in the Motor Manual for the Water Trailer. Failure to shut off gas flow when
motor is not in use may result in gas mixing with the oil or may cause damage to the
motor carburetor causing the motor not to function.
• Always follow Manufacturer suggested maintenance requirements and manufacturer
recommendations for any replacement parts.
• Check oil levels before any use to ensure the oil level is at proper operational levels.
See Manufacturers guide for information on oil types and levels.
Lubrication
The wheel bearings should be packed every 6 months or every 6,000 miles (whichever
comes first). Lubrication may be needed more often if the trailer is used in severe
conditions. The wheel hubs should be checked regularly for excess heat. Heat buildup is an
indication that the bearings need greased and may soon fail. It is imperative that the 5th
wheel and pivot pins be lubricated daily in the Hi-Rise trailer front end to prevent premature
wear and failure of the pivoting joints.
Cleaning Your Tank for Potable Water Usage
When cleaning out the tank first drain the system completely. Once the water has been
drained out, refill the tank ¾full of non-contaminated water. Add 2 gallons of bleach. Drive
tank around briefly to agitate the water around the tank. Then let it soak for a few hours.
Drive around again then dispose of water in compliance with local regulations. Rinse out
tank.
Winterizing Preparation:
The tank and fittings are susceptible to rupture in freezing conditions if water or other fluids
are left in tank or plumbing. To prevent freeze damage, the tank and plumbing should be
drained. Remove all the drain plugs from the system allowing the water to drain out
including the pump drain plug, and then open valves to allow any of the excess water to
drain from the system.

Then run 3-4 gallons of RV antifreeze through entire system - all hoses, nozzles, and
pumps. This will lubricate and prevent freezing and breakage. After circulating through
pumps, open ratchet valve until the pink antifreeze begins spraying out the back nozzles
indicating that it has circulated and the entire system has been properly lubricated.
Leave about 2 gallons of the RV Antifreeze in the tank to store for winter.
** Failure to properly Winterize/Freeze Protect your Water Trailer may result in damage to the
Water Trailer components that may not be covered by Manufacturer Warranty. Be sure to properly
flush already winterized units before use.
Ratcheting Valve Information:
The Ratcheting Valve works on a spring and pin system. The spring located on the outside
of the handle returns the handle back to neutral after every pull. Pulling the handle past the
designed distance to turn the ball valve may damage the spring. Additionally, the pin on the
inside of the handle may become damaged, or the housing around the pin or retainer
points may become damage. ABI advises taking time to familiarize the operator with how to
operate the Ratcheting Valve prior to operation. The silver tab on the top of the valve will
turn at 90-degree turns indicating that the ball inside the valve has been properly turned.
The Ratcheting Valve handle is bolted to the valve body via a bolt. This bolt should be snug
but never tight. If the bolt is tightened down fully it will prevent the spring from pulling the
handle back to neutral. If the bolt is too loose then the handle will not turn properly and may
cause the pin inside the handle to fall out. The bolt is factory set and should not be
adjusted, unless the handle becomes difficult to turn, or is able to be moved up and down
when in the neutral position. Any adjustment should be made to allow the handle to move
freely front to back without having to be forced.
