B&G PTT User manual

READ AND UNDERSTAND THE SAFETY PRECAU-
TIONS BEFORE OPERATING THIS DEVICE
Electric Power. The PTT is designed to operate from an internal, re-
chargeable battery. The battery must be recharged periodically to
maintain operation of the internal air pump. Battery charger operates
from a three-wire power system in which one is a ground. Specifica-
tions: Input: AC 100 - 240V, 50/60 Hz, 0.3A. Output: DC 12.6V / 1.8A.
The battery in the PTT recharges in about 5 hours.
Compatibility. The PTT is compatible with stainless steel tanks made
by B&G Equipment Co. Use on other tanks is not sanctioned. It is not
intended for use with the B&G funnel-top concrete sprayer
(#12014006) or the funnel-top chemical resistant sprayer (#12013900).
Operation. Set and turn the PTT on the open top of a B&G stainless
steel tank. After 2¾ turns, the PTT will be securely attached.
Note: If the PTT turns 4 times the tank gasket on the underside is
missing and must be replaced. Do not operate PTT without the tank
gasket.
Press On / Off switch to On to begin pressurizing a tank containing
liquid insecticide. Allow 2.5 minutes to pressurize a 1-gallon tank con-
taining 1 gallon of liquid. Switch should remain On while spraying. Turn
Off when tank is empty or spraying completed. Note: Slowly unscrew
PTT from a pressurized tank to allow air to escape.

INSTRUCTIONS
REPLACING THE BATTERY
•PTT must be removed from the tank and placed
on a clean and dry surface. The On / Off switch
must be in the Off position.
•Use a small hex wrench and an open-end
wrench to remove the screws that are visible
from the underside of the tank top.
•When both screws are removed the top of
the unit can be removed by pulling on the
padded handle.
Note: Lift off the top carefully and do not
damage the connection of the On / Off
switch wire.
•Disconnect the 2-pin connector attached to
the top of the battery and pull the battery
pack up from its base.
•Insert a new battery pack and re-attach
the 2-pin connector.
•Return the top to the base and re-
connect the two screws on the sides. Pull
up

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
•Periodically clean the underside of the PTT using a cloth
wet with detergent solution. Remove insecticide residue
from the underside and the gasket.
•Inspect the tank gasket for cracks and replace when
damaged. Insert gasket securely into the PTT to prevent
it from coming loose when the tank is refilled.
•Clean around the pump outlet port (under side) to re-
move insecticide residue or other debris.
BEFORE YOU START
•Charge the battery for at least 4 hours
•Inspect the bottom of the PTT to be certain the tank gasket is
firmly in place..
•Start with a sprayer tank that is filled to the proper capacity.
Do not over-fill the tank when using the PTT.
ATTACHING THE TOP TO THE TANK
•PTT screws onto the top of a B&G stainless steel
tank; after 2 - 3 turns the top should be tight and
secure. If the pump runs continuously, it is an indi-
cation that the tank top is no tight.
•If it takes more that 3 turns to attach, the gasket on
the underside of the tank top is missing or dam-
aged. Do not operate the tank top without the gas-
ket. Replace it with #22028000.
TANK TOP OPERATION
•PTT has an on-demand pump that operates only
when the pressure in the tank drops to about 23 psi
(1.5 bar). The pump will shut off automatically
when the pressure reaches 30 psi (2.0 bar). Pres-
sure in the sprayer tank will fluctuate between 23
and 30 psi during spraying.
•PTT requires about 2 minutes to pressurize the
tank when it s filled to the1 gallon (3.8 liters) mark
on the side of the tank.
•PTT will deliver 27 to 30 gallons (102 to 113 liters)
on a full battery charge.
TANK TOP GASKET
•PTT has a gasket on the underside that seals
the tank top to the opening on the sprayer
tank. The gasket seals the top of the sprayer
tank to the bottom of the PTT; it prevents air
from leaking from the pressurized tank.
•This gasket may become loose or stick to the
top of the sprayer when the PTT is removed
for filling the tank. The PTT should not be op-
erated without the gasket because the top will
not seal and the pump motor will run continuously.
CHARGING THE BATTERY
•PTT has an internal battery that can be
fully charged in about 4 hours. The battery
charger operates with 110V and 220V and
has lights to indicate the charging status.
•PTT battery can be charged
while the unit is attached to a
sprayer tank, or it can be
removed from the tank and
charged separately.
•When the battery is weak it
will take longer to return the
tank pressure to 30 psi (2.0 bar) during spraying.
