~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~IMPORTANT~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It is VERY important to test this sprayer with plain water before actual spraying is aempted. This will enable you to
familiarize yourself with the sprayer and check for leaks without the possibility of losing any expensive chemicals.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~WARNING~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Read and Understand the Owner’s Manual before using this sprayer. Test and use in accordance to instrucons.
Read and Follow chemical label instrucons and wear protecve gear when lling, using, cleaning and servicing the
sprayer.
Exercise Cauon in vehicle handling when towing/hauling a lled sprayer to avoid loss of control or overturning.
Keep Sprayer and Spray materials away from other people, children and pets.
Do Not Turn on Power to the sprayer, unl ready to spray in order to avoid unintenonal spray release.
Do Not Use on steep slopes. A full sprayer could cause loss of control or overturn sprayer and vehicle.
Always operate up and down a slope, never across the face of a slope.
Keep all movement on slopes slow and gradual. Do not make sudden changes in speed, direcons or turning. Do not start or stop
suddenly when going uphill or downhill.
Stop on level ground, set the parking brake and shut o engine before leaving the operator’s posion for any reason.
Keep all parts in good condion and properly installed. Fix damaged or worn parts immediately.
Cauon should be taken when towing and/or using any sprayer. This sprayer combined with the weight distribuon, turning radius
and speed of vehicle can result in damage to vehicle and/or sprayer or severe injury or death, if not used properly.
Improper use of this sprayer or handling of chemicals could result in serious injury or illness, or could cause damage to the envi-
ronment.
Assembly Instrucons
The sprayer comes mostly assembled from the factory.
• The only assembly necessary is to install the pressure gauge. Using pipe sealant or plumber’s
Teon tape, hand ghten securely. **Do Not Over-Tighten. **
• Make sure all hose clamps are ght before tesng or spraying for the rst me.
• One requirement will be to hook up the baery leads to a fully charged 12 Volt baery.
• Also, the boom mount brackets will need to be aached with the hardware provided, if you’re
going to aach a boom.
**The Sprayer is now ready to TEST w/plain water before actual use**

IMPORTANT: Remove tank lid and be sure the tank is clean and free of any foreign material. Rinse tank out of any tank
residue before lling with water to test.
Tesng the Sprayer
NOTE:
It is VERY important to test this sprayer with plain water before actual spraying is aempted. This will enable you to check the
sprayer for leaks without the possibility of losing any expensive chemicals.
Fill the tank about 1/2 full with plain water. Open the sucon line valve (located next to the
pump).
There are two valves on the manifold. One is a shut o for a potenal boom and the other is
used to bypass soluon back into the tank, thus decreasing the overall system’s pressure. You
may now start the sprayer. If you’ve connected a boom assembly, inially have the boom line
open (Detail A), so that the air in the line will be purged and soluon will begin spraying from
the ps of the boom. Check the enre system for leaks.
Adjust the pressure by turning the “ON/OFF” valve lever on the pressure adjust valve (Detail
B). Make sure your paern is sucient. You may down-pressure the system by ‘bypassing’
soluon back into the tank. This is achieved by opening the pressure adjust valve. Regulang
pressure is done in this manner.
Operaon
The pumping system draws soluon from the tank, through the strainer and to the pump. The
pump forces the soluon under pressure to the handgun or boom nozzles, if applicable.
Fill the tank part way with water and then add the desired amount of chemical to be sprayed.
Finish lling tank to proper level.
Only ll the tank with what you’re going to spray in a day, never leave chemicals sit in tank.
Connect the lead wire to a fully charged 12 volt baery. You may use either a stand-alone
baery or the baery on your towing vehicle. Connect to the posive (red) terminal rst, then
connect to the negave (black) terminal. Then connect the end of the lead wire to the end of
the pump. When disconnecng, disconnect the end of the pump wire from the lead wire, then
disconnect the negave (black) connecon and nally the posive (red) connecon. Lead wire
has an On/O switch to acvate the pump. “-” is on and “O” is o. Turn the pump on by
depressing the “-” side of the rocker switch.
The pump is equipped with a pressure switch that is pre-set at the factory to shut the pump
o when all discharges are closed.
The pump will turn back on when one of the following acons occurs:
 Boom valve is opened to broadcast spray with the boom, if applicable.
 Pressure adjust valve is opened to re-circulate soluon back into the tank.
Inially begin spraying by closing the ‘Pressure Adjust’ valve and opening the boom line valve, if applicable (Detail A). This will
enable the air in the line to be eliminated (purged) through all the ps, while building pressure. When everything tests all right (no
leaks and good pressure), add the desired chemicals to the mixture and water combinaon and start your spraying operaon.
Adjust the pressure and spray as you did in the tesng procedure.
Condions of weather and terrain must be considered when seng the sprayer.
Do not spray on windy days. Protecve clothing must be worn in some cases.
Be sure to read the chemical label(s) before applicaon!
For the safest and most ecient chemical applicaon with a boom, you will need to calibrate your sprayer following the manual
supplied with the boom to determine pressure to be used and speed charts. Once you have determined the proper speed and
pressure sengs, you will need to consult your chemical label for the amount of chemical to be added to the tank. Read the enre
label.

Maintenance During/Aer Spraying
Periodically check the strainer and clean the screen on your intake line.
If sprayer becomes clogged during use, disconnue use immediately. DO NOT aempt to service while chemicals are in the sprayer
and power is connected.
Proper care and maintenance will prolong the life of your sprayer.
Aer use, drain the tank and store or dispose of chemical properly. Fill the sprayer half way with clean water. Start the pump and
allow the water to pump through the enre plumbing system and nozzles. Drain and then rell half full, add the recommended
amount of a good quality tank cleaner, such as FIMCO Tank Neutralizer and Cleaner. (If no tank cleaner is available, you may subs-
tute dish soap for this step, about 1-2 oz. per gallon). But a neutralizer/cleaner should be used to thoroughly clean the system.
Turn pump on and circulate through system for 15 minutes and then spray out through boom and handgun nozzles. Rell sprayer
half way with clean water and repeat. Follow the chemical manufacturer’s disposal instrucons of all wash or rinsing water.
If boom (if applicable) or handgun nozzles need cleaning, remove them from the sprayer and soak in warm soapy water. Clean with
a so bristled brush or toothpick if necessary. Never use a metal object. Even the slightest damage can change the ow rate and
spray distribuon. Water rinse and dry the ps before storing.
WARNING: Some chemicals will damage the pump valves if allowed to soak untreated for a length of me! ALWAYS ush the
pump as instructed aer each use. DO NOT allow chemicals to sit in the pump for extended mes of idleness.
Follow the chemical manufacturer’s instrucons on disposal of all waste water from the sprayer.
Tank Care & Maintenance
Warning: Do not use the tank as a container for fuel oils, kerosene, gasoline or any other petroleum disllate product. All polyole-
ns are soened and permeated by such products. In an enclosed area the vaporizaon of these materials from the outside
surface of the tank could create a dangerous condion.
The tank should not be used as a pressure vessel nor used with chemicals or soluons having a weight of more than 12 pounds per
gallon.
Store the tank in a dry dark place when not in use. Storage out of sunlight will prolong the life of the tank.
Do not drop, strike or kick the tank, especially at low temperatures. Tanks become brile and are subject to cracking at tempera-
tures below 20° Fahrenheit.
Always ush the tank with water and a neutralizing agent at the end of each use, to prevent contaminaon of soluons.
Winter Storage
Prepare the sprayer for end-of-season storage by running RV anfreeze through the system. This will keep internal parts lubricat-
ed, protect against corrosion and keep the unit from freezing. Note: RV anfreeze is non-toxic and biodegradable and generally
safer for the environment than automove anfreeze.
Before storing your sprayer for winter or long term storage, thoroughly clean and drain it as much as possible. Then pour enough
pink RV anfreeze into the tank so that when the pump is turned on you can pump the anfreeze throughout the enre plumbing
system, including the pressure adjust (bypass) line. Make sure to operate the boom and handgun unl you see pink uid spraying
from the nozzles. Leave any remaining anfreeze in the tank. Before your next usage, rinse the anfreeze from the sprayer with
clean water.
It is nearly impossible to drain all of the water from the sprayer and any trapped water can freeze in cold weather and damage
parts of the sprayer. Pumping the anfreeze through the system will displace the water and help prevent this damage.
Removing from storage: drain the anfreeze. Fill the tank with fresh water and run through the system. Dispose of anfreeze and
ush water proper
