GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS
Tank
The Croplands CropPak range of tanks is constructed from
a UV stabilised, medium density polythene for low distortion
qualities and tough impact resistance.
All models (except the US200/15), come standard with
a screw down main lid and basket strainer. A hand wash
tank is fitted standard for operator safety and can be used
to clean the suction filter in the field if needed. The skid
mounted versions feature a sump providing excellent suction
pick-up and allows the tank to completely drain.
Spray Lance & Hose reels
All CropPak models are supplied with a 6m hose and
Swissmex spray lance. Selected models are supplied with
10 metre hose & reel.
Controls
Standard on the 12-volt models is a pressure regulator
mounted on the pump outlet to regulate pressure & flow.
Liquid not required for the boom or reel is bypassed back to
tank. A pressure gauge is provided.
12-volt pumps are considered to be intermittent duty cycle
pumps and extended operating periods will trigger the
thermal overload switch. The motor must be allowed to
settle to a lower (ideally ambient) temperature before
recommencing operation.
An electric on/off switch and 15 amp fuse is provided in the
7m long power loom. Pump Model & Serial Number

PREOPERATION
UNLOADING
Take care when loading / unloading sprayers. Many of
these sprayers exceed the capacity for one or two people
to manually handle. Most models have suitable sling
pickup points. Be careful of the balance.
All loading / unloading should be done with tanks empty.
See Section 5 of the Safety manual.
FITMENT
Make sure the unit is securely fastened. Some models will
require tie down straps, other models require bolting the
unit to a vehicle.
Remember to factor in the weight of a full tank when
determining the mounting, and always consult the vehicles
manual for load ratings and suitable mounting points.
Check all nuts, bolts and plumbing fittings for tightness.
Check the filters.
If a boom is fitted, read the boom manual.
HOOKUP
Power connection. All 12-volt models are supplied with
a heavy-duty power cable (UP-119B), which includes
connections at the pump end.
Connect this power cable to a reliable 12-volt battery.
• The red (+ive) power lead to the positive (+ive)
battery terminal, and
• The black (-ive) power lead to the negative (-ive)
battery terminal.
Failure to connect leads to a battery of the correct voltage
will cause damage to the electric motor.
The standard loom is supplied with alligator-type battery
clamps which will suffice provided there is room for
this type of connection, providing they can be securely
attached to the battery terminals.
Using permanent connections attached to the battery
terminals is preferred – these are not supplied but ask your
Croplands dealer to assist with this battery connection
unless you can do so yourself.
It is possible to have a male power socket fitted to the
loom to plug into a standard vehicle 12-volt connection,
but before doing so ensure the socket connection on the
vehicle can supply a minimum of 12 volts and that the
circuit has a minimum of a 20-amp fuse installed.
For the pump to perform correctly, strong and continuous
power supply is a must.

17
SECTION 4
PREOPERATION
FUSE & SWITCH
The standard loom is fitted with a 15 amp blade style
protective fuse to ensure the pump is protected from
incorrect set up of the power supply.
The rocker switch on the power loom is used control
spraying on / off whilst operating in the field.
Ensure the switch can be located close to your hands when
in use.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PLUMBING
Shown is the free standing US200 model. Plumbing for the
skid mount (F) range is very similar (but below the tank)
and the US30 ~100 (S) range is much simpler.
A. The suction line from the tank.
B. Suction Filter. Check frequently, and especially at the
commencement of any spray program (best checked
before chemical is added).
C. Pressure Regulator – and surplus flow goes back to
tank via (D). This aids agitation.
D. Return to tank.
E. Ball valve to select flow – to (E) is the
spray wand, or
F. Spare spray connection point – maybe for a boom.
Note the ball valve (E) has 3 positions, with vertical (as
pictured) also being OFF.

PREOPERATION
SPRAY LANCE
All 12-Volt sprayers are supplied with the easy to use
Swissmex Spray Lance.
Controls are a hand-held trigger and an adjustable nozzle.
Practice the operation of the lance with fresh water before
undertaking any chemical spraying.
For more information on accessories etc consult the
Croplands Compact Spray Range catalogue.
FILLING, FILTERS & DRAINING
Both the lid and suction lines are fitted with a filter. It’s
important to use them and keep them clean. A careful,
common sense approach to water quality, mixing of
chemicals and care of filters, hoses and tank will ensure
trouble free spraying.
Be careful to ensure that no solids enter the system to block
or damage the pump or nozzles.
Filling is via the lid (with filter) – be very careful to not
splash chemical when filling.
Draining is via a drain plug or cap. Be careful to dispose
of any chemical in an environmentally responsible manner.
Adjust the variable cone nozzle for the required spray pattern

SECTION 4
PREOPERATION
BEFORE OPERATING FOR THE FIRST TIME
Before operating the sprayer:
• Familiarise yourself with all supplied manuals.
• Check the sprayer is securely mounted.
• Check that the spray tank is clean, and drain bung or
cap is installed and tight.
• Check that the suction line filter is clean.
• Check the spray lance is correctly installed.
• Check all plumbing and fittings are tight and not
damaged. Fill the sprayer tank with clean water - making
sure the basket filter is in place when filling and check for
leaks.
• Connect the sprayer power leads to a 12-volt battery
(Refer to “Hook-up” on pg 16).
• Safety Manual … has been read, understood and
appropriate preparations have been implemented.
FIRST TIME STARTUP PROCEDURE,
12VOLT SPRAYER
Always use fresh water for familiarisation, maintenance,
testing or training. If the unit has seen chemical, always
wear safety gloves (as a minimum precaution).
After installation procedures are complete, it is important to
check that the pump will prime and operate properly.
• Fill the sprayer tank with sufficient clean water to enable
testing and check for leaks.
• Check the ball valve (if fitted) is pointing towards the
lance.
• Switch On the pump - flick the rocker switch on the
power loom to the “on” position.
• The pump should prime quickly, and liquid will bypass
through the Pressure Regulating Valve (PRV) to the tank.
• Hold down the hand grip lever of the spray lance /
spray gun. Once the unit is spraying clean water, adjust
the Pressure Regulating Valve (red knob, position C)
to the desired pressure, using the pressure gauge to
determine the operating pressure.
o For spot spraying applications, 2-3 bar will be
all that is required.
o Do not exceed 3 bar pressure or damage to the
pump may occur.
If you also have a small boom fitted to your sprayer, turn
the selector ball-valve to the boom position (position F).
Water should now spray from the nozzles. Adjust the
spraying pressure to a MAXIMUM of 2 bar pressure for
boom spraying. Whilst the pump is running, check all the
nozzles to ensure the spray pattern is uniform and check
there are no leaks from boom joints, fittings or the
nozzle bodies. Consult your spray boom manual for more
information.
While the hand gun is spraying, check that the:
• Nozzle spray pattern is even,
• Pump pressure is constant and within the limit of the
maximum pressure rating (3 Bar [43 psi]),
• If using a variable cone nozzle, adjust the cone for the
required spray pattern.
Release the hand grip lever to stop spraying.
If required, make the necessary adjustments and re-check
the sprayer operation. Use the power switch to turn the
power off.
If the pump fails to prime ...
When the inside valves of the pump are dry, the pump will
not automatically prime as the valves do not seal off the
air. This can occur when the:
• Pump is new,
Adjust the variable cone nozzle for the required spray pattern
