3.0 GENERAL SYSTEM ADVISORY
3.1 ABOUT THIS SYSTEM
You are now the owner of one of the most advanced crop management tools available today.
The Insectigator®you have purchased is designed to deliver precise amounts of liquid concentrate
into the water flowing through your irrigation system. The Insectigator is unique in that it can inject
most insecticides, fungicides, or crop/turf protection liquids into your irrigation to accomplish both
irrigation and chemical application simultaneously.
When you invested in the Insectigator, you acquired a complete injection system - everything you
need to get started. Easy to install and simple to operate, your Insectigator can be integrated into
your center pivot, linear, greenhouse, or drip irrigation system with a minimum of work, tools, and
effort.
The heart of your Insectigator is the injection pump. This high quality pump is designed specifically
to inject small, precise amounts of liquid, which is key in this application. The Insectigator also
features our patented Mister Mist’r®injection check valve. The Mister Mist’r®releases concentrate
in four directions in the middle of the irrigation pipe for complete mixing. The injected liquid is
atomized into tiny droplets for complete suspension and homogenous distribution through your
irrigation system. As a regulatorally approved check valve, the Mister Mist’r®protects against
backflow of concentrate into the water supply, or leakage of water into the Insectigator supply tank.
In combination, the precise, reliable injection pump and the exclusive Mister Mist’r®assure
accurate, uniform, safe distribution of liquid concentrate to your crops.
Like all Agri-Inject products, your Insectigator injection system is built with quality materials and
designed to give you worry-free, low maintenance operation so you can fully benefit from the cost
savings and production enhancements that fluid injection offers.
When properly installed and operated, your Insectigator will give you many years of safe,
dependable operation, providing greater management over your farm and putting dollars in your
pocket along the way. This owner’s manual is designed to help you get optimum performance and
reliability from this quality fluid injection system.
If you have any questions about your Insectigatoror any other of our quality fluid injection systems,
please contact your local Agri-Inject®dealer, visit us on our website at www.agri-inject.com or give
us a call at 1-800-4-INJECT (800-446-5328).
Above all, thank you for your business. We are dedicated to helping growers like you around the
world increase efficiency, optimize plant health, and foster environmental stewardship through the
use of fluid injection technology.

3.3 WARNING!
For your safety, the safety of others, and to prevent a risk of serious injury to yourself and others,
before you install, use, or service an Agri-Inject®system:
READ THIS MANUAL!
This manual (and its addendums, including supplementary information) provides you with warnings,
instructions for installation, use, and servicing safety practices. Read such information thoroughly
before you install, use or service an Agri-Inject®system and follow all of the warnings and
instructions it contains.
An Agri-Inject®system should be installed, used, or serviced ONLY by those who are thoroughly
familiar with the instructions and warnings contained in this document. Improper use or disregard
for warnings, instructions, and basic safety practices can create a risk of serious bodily injury to you
or a bystander and/or property damage.
3.4 TRAINING
Do not install, operate, or service an Agri-Inject®system unless you have been properly trained to
do so.
3.5 TUBING AND PLUMBING
Always use proper tubing or plumbing when connecting an Agri-Inject®system. The working
pressure rating, temperature rating, and chemical compatibility must be compatible with the pump
output and the liquid being pumped. Agri-Inject®provides tubing and plumbing with its systems.
However, they may not necessarily be proper for the particular use to which you put the system.
Our support staff will be happy to assist with discussing application and compatibility issues.
3.6 INSPECTION
Always check to see that the system’s fittings are tight and free of leaks.
3.7 IMPORTANT
Do NOT install, operate or service this system unless you have thoroughly read all warnings and
instructions in the manual. Do NOT install, operate or service this system until you have been
properly trained. Always use fittings and tubing that is properly rated and compatible with pump
output and the pumped liquid. Always follow the specimen label of any chemical being injected by
this system. The label is the law.Always check to see that fittings and tubing connections are
tight and free of leaks. Always disconnect the electrical power cord before you disassemble or
otherwise service this system. Never transport this system with liquid present in the tank. Always
relieve the pressure and drain the suction lines before you disassemble or otherwise service this
system. Never disconnect the discharge or suction lines while the pump is operating and/or the
lines are under pressure.
3.8 DISASSEMBLY AND SERVICE
Always disconnect the electrical power cord before you disassemble or otherwise service this
system. Never open the electrical components of the system without first disconnecting the

Operating Instructions: Insectigator Fluid Injection System 7
electrical power cord and any other communication connections. Never disconnect discharge or
suction lines from the system while the pump and/or lines are under pressure. Never disconnect
discharge or suction lines from the system while the pump is operating. Always disconnect the
electrical power cord, relieve the pressure in the discharge and/or suction lines, and drain the lines
before disassembly or other service.
3.9 PUMPING DANGEROUS LIQUIDS
When the system is used to inject dangerous liquids, you face risks of harm to yourself and others
from the dangerous liquids and/or the impact of those dangerous liquids. Personal injury and/or
property damage can result from contact with the dangerous liquids from spray, splash, fumes, or
vapors. Damage can also result from the impact of the misapplication of such dangerous liquids.
If the system is used to pump dangerous liquids, in addition to heeding the warnings already set
forth, you must also:
● Always avoid bodily contact with dangerous liquids. Use the Personal Protective Equipment
(PPE) recommended in the SDS, Specimen Label, or other data provided by the dangerous
liquid supplier/manufacturer.
● Take great caution to ensure dangerous liquids do not cause damage to local property or
equipment.
● Always heed the warnings, follow the instructions, and take whatever precautions the supplier
of the dangerous liquid has provided you.
● Never operate the pump if the fittings or tubing connections are not tight and/or free from
leaks.
● Always drain the discharge line before disassembly.
● Always fully drain and flush the tank with water before adding another chemical.
● Always flush the pump with water after injecting a dangerous liquid and before adding another
to avoid a potentially hazardous chemical reaction.
● Consider installing a supplementary back pressure valve in the discharge line between the
discharge check valve and the injection check valve. See diagram below and Section 15.0
INSTALLATION AND PIPING APPENDIX.
