Operation and Maintenance
Model Number 060-0198-6 Trailer Sprayer
Operation
Operating power is obtained from a 12 volt
Battery. Be sure to connect the red to the
positive (+) source and attach the black to
the negative (-) source.
IMPORTANT: Before spraying chemicals, ll the
tank full of plain water to gain familiarization
with the sprayer and to prevent the waste of
expensive chemicals.
Maintenance Instructions
This sprayer has been carefully designed
and built and should provide many years
of reliable service if properly cared for.
• Keeping the sprayer clean and dry will
prolong the unit’s life.
• Grease Wheels at regular intervals, at least
once every six months, more frequently if
used regularly.
• Should rust develop, sand lightly then paint
area with enamel paint.
• Check tire pressure at regular intervals
Proper inflation will prolong the life of tires
(see side of tire for inflation amount).
Cleaning and Storage
Most spray materials are highly corrosive.
The most important aspect of long dependable
service from your sprayer is a thorough cleaning
immediately following each use. In addition,
the residue of one type of chemical could
cause an undesirable eect when a dierent
chemical is used for a dierent purpose.
The most eective cleaning method is to
pump several rinses of clean water through
the tank, pump, hoses, boom, spray gun, etc.
A neutralizing agent such as a solution of
Nutra-Sol, a detergent or household ammonia
as recommended by the chemical manufacturer
can assist in removal of a persistent chemical.
When the system is thoroughly cleaned, drain
the tank, suction line, pump, hoses, etc.
1. Wash and flush out sprayer after comple-
tion of each phase of your program. Flush out
sprayer when changing chemicals if there is a
possibility of the chemicals being incompatible.
Use of a detergent is advisable if the chemical
manufacture does not make specific cleaning
recommendations. Flush system completely,
including nozzles. Never use metal objects to
open clogged nozzles.
2. Clean sprayer thoroughly before storing at
the end of the spraying season. Permanent type
antifreeze added to the nal rinse will leave a
rust inhibiting film on parts of the sprayer.

Proper calibration is one of the most important parts of spraying. Properly calibrated sprayers
will save you both time and money.
How to determine the gallons per minute (per nozzle).
GPM=GPA x MPH x W
5940
GPM—Gallons Per Minute
GPA—Gallons Per Acre
MPH—Miles Per Hour
W—Nozzle spacing (in boom spraying)
This formula is useful to determine which tip to use on your boom, especially when your nozzle
spacing is dierent from the standard 20 or 40” nozzle spacing on CertiedTM Sprayers. For
example: You know you want to travel 3 MPH (5 km/h), and apply the chemical at a rate of 20GPA.
The nozzle spacing’s are 33” (84 cm) on centre. By using the formula you will determine how many
gallons per minute (GPM) per tip will be required to give you the correct application.
Example: 20 GPA x 3 MPH = 60 x 33” (nozzle spacing) = 1980 divided by 5940 + .333 GPM
You have now determined that you need a tip with GPM of .333. Find the type of tip you want to
use. For example, an 80 degree flat fan spray tip and then determine what pressure you plan to
spray at. Let’s say 30 PSI. How do you check this calibration? By using this formula.
GPA = 5940 x GPM (Per Nozzle)
MPH x W
Multiply 5940 x .333 GPM + 1783.8. Multiply 3 MPH x 33 (nozzle spacing) = 99.
Divide 1783.8 by 99 = 18.06 gallons per acre.
By simply adjusting your pressure or your tractor speed, you will obtain the 20 GPA rate.
The second formula is used to determine whether an old tip (one on which you cannot identify
the number) is still spraying the right amount of chemicals. You can determine how many GPM
a tip is spraying, with the use of a catch jar and stop watch. Hold the jar under the tip so you
catch the total spray for one minute. The amount in the jar indicates the GPM.
Calibrate your sprayer carefully. If your tips are worn, replace them. New tips are a fraction of
the cost of using either too much or too little chemicals. Also, you can use these formulas to help
determine if the intended pump has the volume capacity to meet your spraying needs.
