Operation
Operating Instructions
Pre-start Instructions
Before operating the sprayer, it is important that you read this entire manual and know all safety precautions. Always take your
time and be alert when operating your sprayer. This will allow you to safely spray without accident or interruption.
1. To avoid injury from chemical hazards, wear
the proper protective clothing. Each chemical
manufacturer's clothing requirements are listed
under the“Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)”
section in the chemical's instructions.
2. Check the engine oil, fuel, and air lter element.
See engine owner’s manual for details.
3. Check the pump oil level and accumulator air
pressure. See pump owner’s manual for details.
4. Fill the sprayer’s tank with clean fresh water in
order to test the sprayer. Testing the sprayer
before operation will give you a chance to
familiarize yourself with all of the components
and to test for any leaks or problems.
5. Set the controls to have the full ow of the pump
bypass to the tank. Turn the pressure regulating
handle (Figure 1, Page 9).
1.) Preparing the Sprayer
Figure 2: Suction Line Valve
Suction Line Valve
6. Turn the pressure regulating knob (Figure 1, Page 9) to the lowest pressure setting before starting the engine and pump.
7. Open the suction line valve (Figure 2) located underneath the tank.
8. Start the sprayer’s engine and pump (See engine owner’s manual for starting instructions). Leave the pressure regulating
handle (Figure 1, Page 9) set to the By-pass position until the pump is primed. After the pump has been primed, turn the
pressure regulating handle to the Pressure position (Figure 1, Page 9).
9. Calibrate the sprayer using the calibration instructions and calibration chart (See Calibrating the Sprayer).This will determine
what pressure to spray at and what nozzles to use in order to achieve the desired GPA.

Before spraying, the sprayer must be calibrated to ensure proper spray coverage and the desired application rate. Before
calibrating the sprayer it is important to familiarize yourself with the operating instructions. The calibration process is simplied
when broken down into the following three steps:
1. Calculate the speed of the tow vehicle.
2. Determine the nozzle size and consult the calibration chart for the desired or instructed Gallons per Acre (GPA).
3. Set the pressure accordingly using the pressure regulating knob (Figure 1, Page 9).
It is important to determine what speed your vehicle will be traveling at while spraying. While some vehicles may have speedometers,
it is still recommended that speed be calculated for all vehicles for accuracy purposes. To determine the speed follow these four steps:
NOTE: It is helpful for future references to record the
exact RPM and gear used to nd your speed.
Speed in MPH
Time required (seconds) to travel
a distance of:
200 feet 300 feet
1.0 136 205
1.5 91 136
2.0 68 102
2.5 55 82
3.0 45 68
3.5 39 58
4.0 34 51
4.5 30 45
5.0 27 41
5.5 25 37
6.0 23 34
6.5 21 31
7.0 19 29
Operation
1. Measure a 200 foot or 300 foot distance on a eld or a
surface similar to where you will be spraying.
2. Drive the equipment and sprayer (half-full is optimal)
across the measured distance at a constant rate of
speed. There can be no changes in speed while you are
measuring the time. This should be a comfortable speed
for spraying.
3. Have someone measure the amount of time (in seconds)
it takes to travel the measured distance.
4. Your speed can be calculated by entering your data into
the equation Speed (mph) = (Distance (ft) x 60) / (Time
(seconds) x 88) or by consulting the table to the right.
2.) Calibrating the sprayer
IMPORTANT: All calibration must be done with fresh water only!
2a.) Determining the Speed
2b.) Calculating the GPM and using Calibration Chart
The nozzles on your sprayer are color-coded and match the calibration chart (See the owner’s manual included with your boom).
Using the tow vehicle speed (determined in step 2a), nozzle size/color, and desired gallons per acre (GPA), reference the calibration
chart to nd the pressure (psi) necessary to achieve the desired GPA.
IMPORTANT: Due to normal wear, TeeJet® recommends that you replace your sprayer nozzles after every spraying season.
Nozzle replacement will ensure accurate spraying performance.

12
Operation
2c.) Adjusting the Sprayer Pressure
You have found the correct pressure setting, but must now adjust the sprayer to that pressure setting.
1. Turn the pressure regulating knob (Figure 1, Page 9) on the sprayer controls counter-clockwise to the fully open position for
the lowest pressure.
2. Then start the engine, and set the sprayer engine’s RPM to the RPM to be used while spraying.
3. Turn the pressure regulating knob (Figure 1, Page 9) on the sprayer controls clockwise to increase the pressure. Continue to
adjust until the pressure gauge shows the pressure has reached the desired setting. NOTE: When you open the boom supply
line valve (Figure 1, Page 9) to spray, you may need to readjust the pressure.
IMPORTANT: The maximum spray pressure should not exceed the maximum pressure rating of the pump.
3.) Preparing to Spray
NOTE: Proper personal protective equipment (PPE) must be worn at all times while handling, mixing, or spraying chemicals.
1. With the sprayer’s engine and pump turned o. Fill the spray tank with the amount of water that is recommended in the
chemical mixing instructions.
2. After lling the tank, open the suction line valve (Figure 2, Page 10) located underneath the tank.
3. Set the controls to have the full ow of the pump bypass to the tank. Turn the pressure regulating handle (Figure 1, Page 9) to
the By-pass position.
4. Turn the pressure regulating knob (Figure 1, Page 9) to the lowest pressure setting before starting the engine and pump.
5. Start the engine and pump. Leave the pressure regulating handle (2) (Figure 1, Page 9) set to the By-pass position until the
pump is primed.
6. After the pump has been primed, turn the pressure regulating handle to the Pressure position (Figure 1, Page 9).
7. Using the pressure regulating knob (Figure 1), adjust the sprayer’s maximum spray pressure. IMPORTANT: The maximum spray
pressure is NOT to exceed the maximum pressure rating of the pump during operation. Doing so may cause damage to the
pump.
8. See chemical manufacture’s instructions for the proper chemical mixing sequence and the necessary agitation times.
9. Add the amount of chemicals needed for your mixture through the tank ll well.

1. After arriving at spray location, unfold boom wings if needed.
2. Start the sprayer’s gas engine to engage the pump (See engine owner’s manual for starting instructions). Ensure that there are
no leaks in any of the lines.
3. Using the pressure regulating knob (Figure 1, Page 9) on the controls, adjust the sprayer's pressure to the pressure rating found
when you calibrated your sprayer.
4. Open the boom supply line valve (Figure 1, Page 9), or engage the spray gun by pressing the trigger. NOTE: You may need to
readjust the pressure setting on the controls. NOTE: The spray gun tip at the end of the gun can be turned to adjust the spray
pattern.
5. During the rst few hours of operation, check that the pump’s oil level in the tank remains between the minimum and maximum
limits. If top-ups are required, use oil of the type shown on the pump data plate.
• Turn o the boom supply valves (Figure 1, Page 9).
• Turn the pressure regulating knob (Figure 1, Page 9) counter-clockwise to reduce pressure.
• Turn the pressure regulating handle (Figure 1, Page 9) to the by-pass position to discharge pressure.
• Turn o the engine and the pump (reference the engine owner’s manual).
2. Upon completion of spraying, always rinse the sprayer with clean water and dispose of all rinsate as directed by the chemical
manufacturer.
3. Before storing the sprayer ensure that the sprayer’s tank, pump, and plumbing are completely rinsed out. This can be done by
manually rinsing the sprayer’s tank and running the clean water through the spray nozzles and the spray gun until the system
is completely rinsed out. All rinsate must be disposed as recommended by the chemical manufacturer.
4. Excess water can be drained by removing the bowl of the in-line lter (Figure 2, Page 10) located in the front of the sprayer in
the suction line.
5. Unhook the sprayer and store the sprayer on a hard level surface in a location away from human and livestock activity.
IMPORTANT: Operating the pump when the tank is empty or suction valves are closed will void the manufactures warranty.

Operation
Instructions for Clearing Blockages and Cleaning
-If the sprayer encounters issues with low spray volume, it may be due to a blockage in one or some of the plumbing
components. Some common blockage issues that can occur, along with how to resolve the issue, are detailed in the text
below. If any ttings, lters, or plumbing parts are damaged, contact your authorized CropCare® equipment dealer for
replacement parts.
• Sometimes hose ttings and small diameter hoses can accumulate chemical build up if the sprayer is not properly
rinsed after spraying. After locating a clogged tting or hose, remove it and try to dislodge blockage. Once blockage
is removed, reinstall the hose or hose tting.
• This sprayer is outfitted with a Suction line filter. This filter can become clogged over time from foreign debris or
chemical build up. Remove the filter and rinse thoroughly with water until the filter is clean and reinstall it.
• Tanks have sumps and low points that over time can accumulate debris and chemical build up. If debris or chemical
build up is spotted in these tanks, use a Shop-Vac to clean out debris in tank. If the chemical build up is hardened in the
sump and ttings, disassemble aected ttings and clean out hardened debris or chemical build up. Be sure to clean
out Shop-Vac of all chemical build up after clearing blockages.
1.) Clearing Blockages
NOTE:
-The best way to avoid blockages is to make sure proper agitation is occurring while adding chemicals to tank, applying, and
thoroughly rinsing all plumbing components after each time spraying.
-ALWAYS follow the chemical manufacturer’s disposal instructions when disposing clean out rinsate and chemical build up.
-Wear all necessary PPE recommended by the chemical manufacturer (i.e. chemical resistant gloves, safety goggles, chemical
resistant suit) when clearing out blockages and handling chemical build up.
2.) Cleaning Sprayer
NOTE:
-ALWAYS follow the chemical manufacturer’s disposal instructions when cleaning sprayer.
-Wear all necessary PPE recommended by the chemical manufacturer according to chemical manufacturer(i.e. chemical
resistant gloves, safety goggles, chemical resistant suit) when cleaning sprayer.
• It is good practice to clean the sprayer, inside and out, after every use. Keeping the sprayer clean helps prolong the life
of the sprayer and sprayer components.
• For instructions regarding rinsing the internal components of the sprayer, refer to the“Maintenance Procedures”section.
• Select a soak away area where the cleaning rinsate can be safely be disposed. Most pesticide washings can be washed o
on a soak away. A soak away is an area that is currently not being used for crops. That soak away CANNOT directly runo
into wells, springs, streams, water courses, ditches, or sewers.
• A pressure washer can be used to wash down the sprayer. Do not directly spray high pressure water onto electrical
components, spray tips, or any other moisture or pressure sensitive components.

• Perform a visual and physical inspection for any worn parts, loose bolts, damaged hoses, or other visible problems. Make all
necessary repairs before spraying. To order parts or receive technical help, please contact your local Zimmerman equipment
dealer.
• After each use, ensure that the sprayer’s tank, pump, spray nozzles, and spray gun are completely rinsed out. This can be
done by rinsing the sprayer’s tank and running the clean water through the sprayer’s nozzles until the system is completely
rinsed out. All rinsate must be sprayed disposed of as recommended by the chemical manufacturer. Excess water can be
drained by removing the bowl of the in-line lter located below the tank.
• The suction line strainer should also be taken out and rinsed on a regular basis.
Every Use
Every Season
• At the beginning of the season, using water, check spray patterns on the
nozzles. If any spray nozzles appear to be worn, replace as needed.
• The suction line lter, located below the tank, should have the screen taken
out and rinsed.
• NOTE: Follow chemical manufacturers guidelines for proper cleaning of the
strainers.
• NOTE: Be careful not to lose the gasket in the lter bowl (Figure 1). A missing
gasket will cause the strainer to leak.
• The winterization process should be undertaken before freezing conditions
and/or after each season of use. See the following section for details.
-It is essential that you winterize your sprayer to avoid damage and to allow for optimal performance. The winterization process
should be undertaken before freezing conditions and/or after each season of use. Failure to winterize your sprayer will void the
manufacturer’s warranty.
Preparing the Sprayer for Winterizing
1. Verify that the sprayers plumbing system has been rinsed thoroughly and rinsate has been disposed of according to the
chemical manufacturer’s recommendations.
2. Drain any remaining water from the sprayers plumbing system by opening the suction and tank valves. Then remove
the drain cap from the suction lter and capture all uid in a container. When system is drained, ensure that the rubber
gasket is in place and replace drain cap onto suction lter. Dispose of liquid according to the chemical manufacturer’s
recommendations.

Winterizing the Sprayer
1. Pour 1/2 - 1 gallon of nontoxic RV antifreeze (propylene glycol) into the sprayer tank.
2. Note: Do not use standard automotive antifreeze (ethylene glycol). It is toxic to humans and animals and causes a disposal
hazard.
3. Engage the sprayer pump and operate tractor at moderate engine speed.
4. Fully open the pressure regulator handle to allow all of the ow to bypass to the tank for 10 seconds and then close the
pressure regulator.
5. Open all spray nozzle valves and the spray gun until RV antifreeze is observed spraying from all nozzles or until tank is empty,
then disengage pump.
6. Store the sprayer in a dry location, out of the elements and away from human or animal activity.
7. When operating the sprayer for the rst time following winterization, ush the sprayer with fresh water to remove the RV
antifreeze from the system and thoroughly inspect the sprayer for leaks or any signs of damage as a result of freezing.
IMPORTANT: Do not, under any circumstances, run any petroleum based substance (such as diesel fuel) through the
sprayer. This will cause damage to sprayer components and will void the manufacturer’s warranty.
