Before Your First Application…
Arborjet strongly recommends testing your equipment with water
or CLEAN-jet™before attempting to inject any of our approved
Formulations.
If the box your kit came packaged in does not have security tape, or
appears to have been opened or tampered with, do not use the
equipment, and contact your Arborjet Distributor for replacement
instructions.
Our Quality Control procedures include testing fittings with a
torque wrench, calibrating the Cylinder, and using a checklist to
perform an audit of contents for every kit that ships out of our
facility. The checklist is initialed by the assembler and supervisor
and included with your completed kit for your reference.
We understand that no measure of Quality Control can mitigate
every potential issue that might arise during assembly and
shipment, so a final “dry” run with water or CLEAN-jet™will
confirm fittings are sealed and eliminates the potential of losing
valuable product if a leak or failure is detected.

How to Operate the System – Setting the Dose
1. Set the injection dose by loosening the dose collar knob and
aligning with the desired volume in mL per injection site.
AccuFlo Soil Injector ISD
Training Manual
Dose Collar Knob
When setting dosage, make
sure the top of the collar lines
up with the desired dosing size
2. With the knob loosened, rotate the collar into the dosing notch
and gently tighten the Collar Knob to secure in place.
This is set for 130mL
Dosing Notches

How to Operate the System – Activating the Backpack
3. Position Toggle Valve in the neutral location (center) before
turning on the backpack.
AccuFlo Soil Injector ISD
Training Manual

4. Activate Backpack pump by turning the Variable Speed dial
clockwise to the highest setting.
When the backpack is first activated, it
will begin to prime the supply line, but will
not fill cylinder chamber until toggle valve
is moved to “fill” position. (next page)
Fluid level must be above the supply and drain
line ports in order for the backpack to run.

How to Operate the System – Prime the System
5. Now that the dose has been set, and lines primed, you can
begin to fill dosing chamber by moving the toggle valve to the
left into the “fill” position.
AccuFlo Soil Injector ISD
Training Manual

6. With the backpack on the ground, remove the mesh strainer and
submerge the tip into the reservoir, so product doesn’t spray or
splash during priming.
When system is in the “fill” position, the
backpack pump will activate and fill to the pre-
set dosage level. Once the chamber is full of
product, the backpack pump will deactivate.
Take Caution when handling the AccuFlo
Soil Injector ISD once is it fully primed.
Accidentally bumping the Valve Trigger into
the Inject Position will cause product to
spray from Nozzle Tip.
Always wear proper Eye Protection and PPE

How to Operate the System
7. Move toggle valve to the right into the “inject” position to
recycle product back into the backpack.

Training Manual

8. Begin Injection process by inserting the nozzle tip into the soil,
and step on the footplate until it bottoms out on the ground
floor. Repeat steps 5-7 to fill dose and dispense into pre-
determined injection sites.
When system is in the “inject” position,
the cylinder fluid piston and backpack
will activate simultaneously, injecting
product out of the nozzle and priming the
supply line.

Cleaning the AccuFlo Soil Injector ISD System
CLEAN-jet Solution is an all-purpose cleaner and
lubricant suitable for all Arborjet injection devices.
Recommended Flushing Process
1. Dispose of any remaining product in the FlowZone backpack according to
product label or SDS sheet instructions
2. Pour around a half gallon of clean water, and 2-3oz of CLEAN-jet into the
backpack sprayer
3. Set the dose sizer to 300mL (max capacity)
4. Disconnect the Drain Line from the bulkhead fitting
5. Place injection end of lance into a bucket
6. Initiate the fill and inject cycle until water runs clear.
7. Store AccuFlo Soil Injector ISD Lance and Backpack in a secure location
protected from the elements in above-freezing conditions.
***FREEZE WARNING***
Even after flushing the system, some liquid may still remain in the cylinder which
can freeze, causing the cylinder to rupture. If you are unable to store the device
in above-freezing conditions, refer to our troubleshooting guide for instructions
on how to completely drain the device.

Determining Volume and Number of Injection Sites
1. How to Determine the Diameter at Breast Height (in.)
2. Carefully read label of Product to be Injected
Measure tree diameter in inches, at breast
height by using a diameter tape, OR
measure circumference and divide by Pi
(3.1415).
Use Tree DBH”, canopy size, or cubic volume of Shrub to determine total
injection volume for treatment application.
You may also need to consider plant species, geographical location, or
environmental/ soil conditions when considering how much product to inject.
When dosing calls for injection volumes indivisible by 10mL, it’s
recommended to apply at a lower rate in order to avoid phytotox or over-
regulation.
3. Using the Graduated Cylinder provided with your Kit,
measure the calculated product volume and pour into
backpack reservoir.
It’s recommended to fill backpack reservoir with water before
mixing in product.
Arborjet DBH” Measuring Tape
AccuFlo Soil Injector ISD
Training Manual

Calculating Dosage of Injection Sites
Divide the total volume to be applied by the number of injection sites to
determine injection volume per site.
ex) 10,000mL total dose for 10” DBH tree / 10 Sites = 1000mL per site
The Soil Injector ISD can set dosage increments anywhere from 10mL to 300mL per
injection. In the example above, we would suggest setting the dose to 200mL, and
executing 5 injections per injection site.
(200mL: x 5 shots x 10 sites = 10,000mL total applied)
AccuFlo Soil Injector ISD
Training Manual
It is not uncommon for the total volume to be an odd number, so the
applicator will have to find the ideal combination of injection sites and
volume per injection to achieve the prescribed rate dosage.
ex) 1,925mL total dose for 14” DBH tree / 14 sites = 137.5mL per site
Since we can't set the dose sizer to 137.5mL, we can either adjust the number of sites, the
volume injected per site, or both, if the total recommended rate is not exceeded.
For this example, I would suggest 16 sites @ a dose of 120mL = 1920mL
For further clarification, or assistance in determining
injection site volume, contact your local distributor or
Arborjet Regional Technical Manager.

How to Convert to Spray and Drench Applications
The modified FlowZone variable speed backpack can be easily
converted for spray and drench applications.
Make sure backpack is turned off before initiating the steps below
1. Have a bucket nearby in case there is any remaining fluid in the
drain line and disconnect supply line junction and the Quick
Disconnect fitting from the Bulkhead port.
2. Thread sprayer wand, with the necessary fitting for the
application, onto supply line coming from the backpack.

Troubleshooting Guide
In addition to the tips below, our YouTube channel is filled with
informational videos that can help with issues that may arise while
using your AccuFlo Soil Injector ISD. YouTube.com/arborjet
oDifficulty Injecting into compact or clay soil
§Lift the device up about an inch so there is space under the nozzle and
try again. If that doesn’t work, try unclogging the nozzle ports with a
thin hex key or a paper clip
oLosing Prime on the backpack pump. Pump continuously pumps but does not
build pressure to the device.
§Turn the backpack unit off, disconnect supply line, point it back into the
backpack reservoir and turn it back on. Once the product is flowing
again, turn the backpack back on and reconnect.
§When you have almost depleted your product, make sure to keep the
backpack level so the pump can dispense all of the liquid
oLeaks in tubing, valve, or cylinder connections.
§In order to repair leaks, you must remove the steel housing to expose
the underlying assemblies. This will require two 7/16” wrenches for the
lock nuts, and one 5/32” Allen Key for the Button Screws on the
Housing Handle.
