OPERATING MANUAL
Thank you and Congratulations on your choice of the Actisol®
Perimeter Pro, a unique mobile delivery system designed to provide
today’s pest management professional with the ability to perform
precision exterior and perimeter applications, reduce costs, increase
productivity and enhance professional appearance.
The Actisol®Perimeter Pro can be refilled easily from any garden
hose spigot, which eliminates the need to travel back to the service
vehicle to refill, roll hoses, or re-circulate. This reduces fatigue and time
spent at each account. Results of field trials indicated that pest
management professionals favored the Actisol®Perimeter Pro over the
traditional hose tethered spray rig.
The Actisol®Perimeter Pro does not require gasoline or oil. To reduce
or eliminate the transportation spill risk this system is designed to be
emptied after each application. Its unique compact design also reduces
the risk of damaging your client’s exterior property, as you will no
longer drag a long, heavy hose around landscaping and other objects.
It’s mobile, practical, and durable design makes it a valuable tool for
all types of accounts. In addition, it gives you the flexibility of using a
variety of insecticides that are EPA approved for use in this type of
equipment.
Best of all, the Actisol®Perimeter Pro can be counted on to work
dependably on the job because of its durable, low maintenance design.

INSECTICIDES
Observe Product label directions. Read the insecticide label to
determine if the insecticide is EPA approved for use in this type of
equipment. Contact your chosen distributor for information on
insecticides currently labeled for use in equipment such as the
ActisolPerimeter Pro.
Filling / Mixing
The Actisol®Perimeter Pro is designed to be filled and refilled
easily from any common hose spigot. Before adding water, be
sure the blue valve on the inlet gap fill assembly above the tank is
in the cross line (+) position and the 100m filter bag is in place,
covering the opening.
1. Follow label direction of product being used to mix concentrate.
Page 3

2. Calculate amount of mixed solution needed for the area to be
treated.
3. Attach inlet / fill hose to spigot or faucet using the vacuum
break / backflow prevent with screen.
NOTE: If the spigot or hose you are using already has a vacuum
break / backflow prevent it is best to remove one of them to allow
sufficient flow. It is recommended to remove the vacuum break /
backflow prevent from the inlet / fill hose of the Actisol®
Perimeter Pro.
4. Turn on water at spigot or hose.
5. Turn the blue valve on the inlet gap fill assembly to the inline
position to allow flow into the tank.
NOTE: Flow will not pass the blue valve on the inlet gap fill
assembly above the tank until valve is turned to the inline position.
The inlet flow of the water comes from the top of the tank and will
assist in the mixing of the product with the water.
6. Be sure to replace the vacuum break / backflow prevent
immediately when flow has been terminated and inlet / fill hose
has been disconnected from spigot.
NOTE: To recirculate or mix solution, remove lid on tank and
point wand into opening and squeeze trigger to full pin stream.

7. Priming the System
Sometimes the pump will pick up air in the line from emptying the
tank. To achieve full pressure and volume the air must be
displaced out of the pump. After refilling this may be achieved by
following these steps:
1) Be sure the pump is on, using the on/off switch.
2) With the spray adjustment lever in the upper position (pin
stream), squeeze trigger to start liquid flow.
3) Using the spray adjustment lever, turn downward to a light
fan spray. You will hear a “spitting” noise as the air is
being discharged out of the end of the spray gun. Then
move the spray adjustment lever back to the upper position
on full pin stream, the pump should begin to build full
pressure. While pump is running, turn red priming valve on
top of the tank, in the cross line position (+) for
approximately one second then back to the in-line position.
This will also usually displace any remaining air in the line
and reacquire full pressure.
4) If needed, repeat steps 2 and 3. Also see the
TROUBLESHOOTING tips on page 16 of this manual.

SPRAY GUN
Features:
1. The adjustable tip shroud is designed to protect the tip of the
gun.
2. The spray adjustment lever and the trigger lock can be activated
with just one hand.
3. The swivel connection prevents twisting and kinking of the
hose.
4. The flow is fully adjustable from cone misy to solid stream.
Pull the trigger to start the flow. With the spray adjustment lever,
adjust the flow to desired spary output from fine cone mist to solid
stream.
5. Release the trigger and the flow will stop.

PUMP
The Actisol®Perimeter Pro is equipped with a ShuRflo 8000 series
industrial pump. The information outlined by this manual is
general and not specific to all 8000 series pumps.
Caution: “Intermittent Duty” is defined as; operated and/or
frequently started within a period of time that would cause the
motor to reach its maximum thermal limits. Once the maximum
thermal limit is obtained, the motor must be allowed to return to
ambient temperature before resuming operation.
Caution: DO NOT use to pump flammable liquids. Never operate
the pump in an explosive environment. Arcing from the motor
brushes, switch or excessive heat from an improperly cycled motor
may cause an explosion.
Caution: DO NOT assume fluid compatibility. If the fluid is
improperly matched to the pumps’ elastomers, a leak may occur.
Pumps used to transfer hazardous or hot (max temperature 170°F
[76°C] Viton™ only) chemicals must be in a vented area to guard
against the possibility of injury due to harmful or explosive
liquid/vapors.
Caution: DO NOT operate the pump at pressures which cause the
motor to exceed the amperes rating indicated on the name plate.
Various pump models are equipped with thermal breakers to
interrupt operation due to excessive heat. Once the temperature of
the motor is within proper limits is will automatically reset, and the
pump will start operation without warning.
Caution: To prevent electrical shock, disconnect power before
initiating any work. In the case of pump failure, the motor housing
and/or the pumped fluid may carry high voltage to components
normally considered safe.
Page 7

Pressure Switch Operation
The pressure switch reacts to outlet pressure, and interrupts power
at the preset shut-off pressure indicated on the pump label. When
outlet pressure drops below a predetermined limit (*typically 15-
20 psi. [1-1.4 bar] less than the shut-off pressure) the switch will
close and the pump operates until the shut-off (high) pressure is
achieved. The shut-off pressure is set to factory calibrated
standards.
Caution: Improper adjustment of the pressure switch setting may
cause severe overload or premature failure. Refer to the SHURflo
Service Bulletin #1031 for the adjustment procedure. Failures due
to improper adjustment of the pressure switch setting will not be
covered under the limited warranty.
If the plumbing is restrictive or the flow rate is very low, the pump
may re-pressurize the outlet faster than the fluid is being released,
causing rapid cycling (*ON/OFF within 2 sec.). If the pump is
subjected to rapid cycling during normal operation, or for
infrequent periods, damage may occur. Application which exhibit
rapid cycling should have restrictions in the outlet minimized.

BATTERY CHARGER –1202S CHARGER
This charger is a solid-state battery charger designed to charge
your 12-volt battery and maintain and hold it to a full charge.
This charger will keep your battery fully charged and will
never over charge your battery.
The conventional linear battery charger is an electrical device
whereas; the 1202S is a light weight sophisticated electronic
device. Most battery chargers use linear technology which
converts the 115VAC to 12VDC at 60Hz. This requires a large
transformer which has the disadvantage of lower efficiency,
larger size and weight resulting in higher heat generation.
The 1202S battery charger transforms the 115VAC into
12VDC at about 100,000 Hz (1667 times faster than
conventional chargers), which requires a much smaller
transformer and this results in a unit of smaller size, low
weight and improved efficiency.
Operating Instructions
1. Connect the charger to the battery.
2. Connect the charger to an AC outlet. The Green LED will
turn Orange.
3. When the LED is Orange your battery is charging.
4. When the LED turns Green your battery is fully charged.
Remember, you can leave your charger on after the battery
is fully charged.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Before using any battery charger, read all instructions and
caution warnings on the battery you are charging, and the
item the battery is being used in.

LED is used to show the charging status. When the LED is
ORANGE, the charger is in charging or recharging mode and
the current is at 1 Amp constant. When the LED is GREEN,
the charger is in Standby mode and no current (zero) is
flowing.
Stage 1: Deep Discharge Charging Pulse Mode: LED Flash
The charger starts charging at 0.5V and give pulse current up to
5V. This has effect of removing loose sulphation formed during
deep discharge state of the battery.
Stage 2: Constant Current Mode (CC): LED Orange
The charger changes to constant current 1A. When the battery
voltage reaches up to 14.7V the charging stage changes from CC
(Constant Current) to CV (Constant Voltage) mode.
Stage 3: Constant Voltage Mode (CV)” LED Orange
The charger holds the battery at 14.7V and the current slowly
reduces. When the current reaches 0.5CC, this point called the
Switch Point. The Switching Point is one of the great features of
this battery charger that can adjust the current automatically
according to the battery capacity. Other chargers are not capable
of adjusting the current automatically.
Stage 4: Standby Voltage Mode: LED Green
The charger maintains the battery voltage at 13.6V and the
current slowly reduces to zero. Charger can be left connected
indefinitely without harming the battery.
Recharging: LED Orange
If the battery voltage drops down to 12.5V the charger changes
from any mode to Constant Current Mode and will restart
charging. The charging cycle will go through Stage 2 to Stage 4.
