CAUTIONS and WARNINGS
Read and thoroughly understand the Cautions and Warnings contained throughout this
manual, on the machine and on the Formulation manufacturer's label. Failure to comply with
all Cautions and Warnings could result in severe bodily injury or death.
¾Never operate the machine with the Atomizer Guards removed and always wear safety goggles
when standing near the machine. Do not stand directly to the side of or in front of the atomizer
during operation. The atomizer rotates at high speed. In the event of breakage, atomizer
components can produce high forces that can cause severe damage.
¾Periodically inspect the atomizer sleeve for signs of fracturing or loosening. If an audible change
is detected or if you notice a difference in vibration during operation, shutoff the machine
immediately. Changes in sound and vibration are signs of loosening or fractured components!
¾Keep all loose articles of clothing, jewelry, hair, etc… away from Blower Housing and Atomizer.
¾Do not operate machine in enclosed areas for a period longer than the formulation label allows.
¾Route all electrical connections safely away from sharp edges and flammable materials that could
ignite if wires were cut and produced sparks. Protect the outside wire casing from sharp edges
(sheet metal, etc…) when routing the electrical wires through the vehicle to prevent an accidental
short circuit.
¾Always mount the machine securely to the bed of the vehicle as described in this manual.
¾Always wear OSHA approved protective clothing, gloves, safety glasses and respirator when
handling formulations to be sprayed with this machine.
¾Understand any dangers of the formulation being used and what to do in case of an accident
involving the formulation.
¾Make sure battery connections are tight. Loose connections will cause poor performance and
could cause overheating of the machines electrical system.

Foreword
Because of its effectiveness the application of insecticides remains the predominate method by which
man attempts to control the size of insect populations. Due to environmental and economical
reasons, it is desirable to treat a given area with the least amount of insecticide that has been
determined to be effective. The most efficient method is to break up the liquids into fine droplets and
distribute these over the target area. With the Dyna-Jet L30, there are literally several billion droplets
produced from each ounce (30 ml) of liquid. These billions of small droplets (5-25 Microns) remain
suspended in the air for long periods of time allowing them to be effective longer. This type of spray
technology is known as "Cold Fogging" or "ULV Spraying". The term ULV is the acronym for Ultra-
Low-Volume, the name given to the technology used to treat areas with small amounts of chemical in
concentrate form. The World Health Organization defines ULV as: “the rate of product being applied
at less than 5 liters per hectare”. Click on the following link to see more information about ULV and
Spraying vs. Thermal Fogging on the Dyna-Fog website: www.dynafog.com/about/fogging/
Description of Design and Operation
The Dyna-Jet was designed to be the highest quality, quietest operating ULV machine in the world.
The quiet operation, lightweight, and electrical design enable the Dyna-Jet L30 to be used for virtually
any application requiring indoor or outdoor space spraying. This machine was designed to dispense
formulations at flow rates of up to 14 oz/min (414 ml/min) via a precision FMI Pumping System. The
FMI pump (standard on the Dyna-Jet L30) is capable of producing up to 20 oz/min (591 ml/min).
Consult Curtis Dyna-Fog for applications requiring more than 14 oz/min. When equipped with the
Radar Syncroflow™, pump flow rate is automatically controlled in relationship to vehicle speed
without changing the pump setting. Formulation is fed from the FMI pump through a 3-way
Formulation/Flush selector valve and into the rotary atomizer rotating at a high rate of speed.
Atomizer speed is controlled by a closed loop circuitry to ensure constant and steady operation. A
digital tachometer/hour meter mounted on the machine enables monitoring the atomizer speed and
accumulated machine run time. Once inside the rotary atomizer, the formulation goes through
sequential stages of reduction until it enters the rotating porous media. Extremely high centrifugal
force shears the liquid into sub-20 micron size droplets. Once produced, the droplets are carried
away from the machine by a high-flow axial blower. A unique feature of the Dyna-Jet L30 is that the
direction of the atomizer discharge can be changed at the machine horizontally 360o, or from the
Remote Control vertically 55o. Once air born, natural wind currents enable the spray droplets to drift
toward their intended target. The rugged and compact Remote Control features lighted switches and
a digital battery meter for constant monitoring of battery level during day or night.

Installation, Calibration and Operation
Machine Installation
The Dyna-Jet L30 is shipped on a heavy-duty skid for easy transportation. Also, the mounting rails
that secure the machine to the skid are designed to be permanently mounted in the vehicle. Always
use corrosion resistant bolts, flat washers, lock washers and lock nuts to secure the machine to the
Mounting Brackets and the Mounting Brackets to the vehicle (see page 44).
Battery Power Source
For Stand Alone Operation-Not connected to vehicle charging system, recharging required
The Dyna-Jet L30 is designed to be operated using a 12 Volt deep-cycle RV/Marine battery with at
least a 165 minute reserve capacity. DO NOT USE A STANDARD GRADE AUTOMOTIVE
BATTERY. A DEEP CYCLE BATTERY MUST BE USED. For continuous operation you must have
your machine connected to the vehicle charging system. If the machine is not connected to the
vehicle charging system, the machine will operate for 1-2 hours using a fully charged battery with at
least a 115 amp hour capacity. A deep-cycle battery with the following specifications will best handle
repeated charging and discharging:
Cranking Amps: 750
Reserve Capacity: 180
Amp Hour: 115 (deep-cycle battery)
IMORTANT
For added safety and extended battery life, your machine is equipped with a battery enclosure and
stainless steel battery restraint mounted onto the machine. Place the battery in the enclosure, secure
the restraint and connect the battery cables as follows:
WARNING
Always observe the polarity of the battery cables before
connecting to the battery. The RED lead connects to the battery (+) terminal
post, the BLACK lead connects to the battery (-) terminal post.
Curtis Dyna-Fog, Ltd. can supply a
quality deep-cycle battery. Click on
the following link and specify ordering
Part Number- (65336)
http://www.dynafog.com/contact.html
Note: The battery you purchase may be "Shipped Dry" and therefore will need to
have battery acid added. If this is the case, read and follow the recommended
filling and charging procedures given by the battery manufacturer before
attempting to connect the battery to the sprayer.
10

For Vehicle Mounted Operation - For continuous operation connected to vehicle charging system
To eliminate the need to recharge the deep-cycle battery, the machine must be connected to the
vehicles battery being charged by the vehicles alternator. The Dyna-Jet L30 requires a rate of charge
of 30 amps at 13 VDC (when measured at the sprayers deep-cycle battery). A high output
automotive alternator of 60 amps or greater is recommended to prevent having to recharge the
sprayers deep-cycle battery. A properly performing vehicle charging system will produce 13.8-14.8
volts from the alternator. To simplify installation, Vehicle Electrical Installation Kit is included with
your machine. When connecting the battery cables of the kit to the battery terminals on the vehicle,
connect the RED positive cable to the terminal marked (+) first and the BLACK negative cable to the
terminal marked (-) last. Connecting the negative cable last prevents sparking and shorting when
connected.
Note: If your vehicle battery discharges during operation of the sprayer, several factors need to be
checked. Make sure the vehicle battery is good and connections are tight and that the alternator is
performing properly. Driving at continuous slow speeds with other accessories being powered (ie. Air
Conditioning, High Beam Lights, Vehicle battery condition, connections, etc…) will also cause this
condition. If after everything is checked and the condition still exists or cannot be avoided, an
alternator with a capacity higher than 60 amps may be required.
Using the remote-control mounting bracket provided, mount the Remote Control Box in a position
convenient to the operator. When routing the remote cable, use the Poly-Wrap cable protector
supplied in the vehicle electrical installation kit to prevent cutting and fraying of wires. It is
recommended that you apply a standard grade RTV silicone sealant around the cable where it
passes through the vehicle to provide a water tight seal. For your convenience, the remote control is
fitted with quick disconnect electrical connectors so that the box can be easily removed for safe
storage.

Battery Charging Tips
Warning
Batteries produce combustible gases that can explode! Always read and follow the instructions given
by the battery manufacturer’s label and on the battery charging device. Always wear proper safety
equipment (Safety Goggles, Rubber Gloves, etc…) when handling and charging batteries.
Why charge batteries?
Batteries are not 100% efficient; you need to replenish about 115% of the electricity you use. There
are several ways to recharge deep cycle batteries: battery chargers, engine alternators, solar panels,
wind or water generators, auxiliary generators, inverter/chargers, etc. Regardless of the method(s)
you use, your batteries will last longer and work better if they are charged properly.
What do batteries want?
Batteries should be charged in a controlled way. The chemical processes and physical constraints of
batteries dictate that they be charged in distinct phases, rather than in a single phase as with archaic
charging systems and simple regulators. Marine deep-cycle batteries will last the longest and
charge the fastest if they are properly charged. This can save you more than the cost of an
effective charging device.
This makes it difficult to recommend precise charging voltages, since they vary according to the
temperature of the battery. Higher temperatures require lower voltages, and lower temperatures
require higher voltages.
Equalization
An optional (and frequently omitted ) stage of battery care is equalization. It is used to prevent
flooded lead acid batteries from aging prematurely. After the battery reaches the end of acceptance
phase, the battery continues to be charged until the voltage stops rising – usually around 15.5-16.2
volts. This forces the battery to its highest possible state of charge, and dissolves the crystals of lead
sulfate which have collected on the battery’s plates. In applications where maximum energy storage
is important, this phase is done every charge cycle. In the marine environment, it is more likely to be
done every 20-50 cycles, which will extend the life and capacity of wet batteries. Since electrical
equipment and light-bulb filaments can be damaged by high voltage, the battery should be
disconnected from all loads during equalization.
This type of battery charging, consisting of multiple stages, is not possible with automotive-type
regulators, unregulated solar panels, ferroresonant chargers, or taffrail generators. We strongly
encourage the use of efficient charge devices that use modern multiple-step regulation.

Cyberdyne Digital Battery Gauge
Low Voltage Indicator
When battery voltage reaches a level
that is too low, the meter flash on and
off. When this happens, battery voltage
is at 11.0 volts indicating that the
battery is either not receiving sufficient
charge or the battery needs charged or
replaced. If this occurs, disconnect the
battery from the machine and charge it
per the battery manufacturers
recommended instructions.
If battery voltage should ever drop to
10.0 volts, the gauge will display “LO” and the “LO” will scroll across the face of
the gauge. If this happens, disconnect the battery and verify that it is good. If
necessary, re-charge or replace the battery.
High Voltage Indicator
Although having too high of a battery voltage is unusual and rarely occurs, it can
happen. If the battery voltage should ever reach 15.8 Volts, the gauge will flash
as a warning. If the voltage ever reaches 16.5 volts, the word “HI” will scroll
across the face of the gauge. If either of these conditions occur, disconnect the
battery form the machine. Then have your vehicle charging system checked
since a normal vehicle charging voltage at the battery is approximately 14.5-15.0
volts DC.

Pump Calibration- (For the Dyna-Jet Model L30 without the Syncroflow System)
Before attempting to spray, the FMI pump must be calibrated to the proper flow rate setting. The
required flow rate is dictated by the information on the formulation manufacturer's label. Calibration
is performed using the "Calibration Switch" located inside the pump enclosure, not from the
Remote Control Box.
CAUTION:
Using the Calibration Switch does not require having the Atomizer and Blower operating.
Once the switch is depressed liquid will be pumped into the atomizer!
WARNING
Always wear OSHA approved protective clothing, gloves,
safety goggles and respirator when handling any type of formulations. Take
precautions to avoid spills and do not allow the formulation to contact your skin.
In the event of an accident know the proper measures to take. Always follow the information
contained on the formulation manufacturer's label.
Calibration Steps:
1) Loosen the two locking knobs and position the indicator to the setting in the Flow Table below that
is closest to your desired output. Note: Tighten both locking knobs after adjusting the pump.
Leaving the locking knobs loose can allow the cylinder to move and damage the pump.
Flow Rate Table
DYNA-JET L30 (FMI Pump)

5.0 (148) 2
9.0 (266) 4
12.5 (370) 6
14.0 (414) 7 (Max)
2) Remove the atomizer dust cover and disconnect the formulation delivery tube at the rear of the
atomizer. Connect the calibration tube to the formulation tube and place the end of the tube in a
beaker or graduated cylinder.
3) Add insecticide (or other formulation to be sprayed) to the Formulation Tank.
4) Turn ON the Master ON/OFF switch located inside the pump enclosure.

5) With the tube placed in the beaker, press and hold the calibration switch and watch for all air
bubbles to be evacuated from the tubing. Release the button and empty the beaker back into the
formulation tank.
6) Place the tube back into the empty beaker and press and hold the Calibration Switch for 20
seconds and then release the switch. To determine the pump output from this test multiply the
measured amount by 3 (3 x 20 seconds = 60 seconds =1 minute). This will be your output per
minute.
Example:
If you measured a volume of 80 milliliters (ml) you would then multiply 80 x 3 = 240 ml/minute flow
rate. To convert milliliters to ounces, divide the amount of milliliters by 29.57. Therefore, your
flow rate would have been: 240 divided by 29.57 = 8.1 ounces/min.
CAUTION
Using the Calibration Switch does not activate the
Atomizer and Blower. Therefore, the atomizer
will not rotate during calibration. Once the switch
is depressed, liquid will begin to be pumped!
7) Adjust the pump indicator up or down and re-calibrate to achieve the desired flow rate.
8) Close the stainless steel pump cover and reconnect the formulation delivery tube. Both the
stainless steel cover and the fiberglass pump enclosure can be locked if desired.
IMPORTANT
The FMI pump is a very reliable device. With its microprocessor speed control circuit, it delivers a
very precise output. For the output to remain accurate, the battery must be adequately charged. On
stand alone installations since calibration is done using the sprayer battery, always calibrate the
machine with the battery fully charged. On vehicle mounted installations, calibrate the sprayer with
the vehicle's engine running.
Optional Radar Syncroflow™ Variable-Flow-Control
Thel Dyna-Jet L30 machine can be equipped with the Dyna-Fog Radar Syncroflow. This system
enables the operator to set the machine to automatically vary the pump output proportionate to
vehicle speed. If your machine is equipped with this feature, refer to the separate Radar Syncroflow
Operation Manual prior to operating.
Operation
Once the pump has been calibrated you are then ready to begin preparation for spraying. If your
machine is equipped with the Dyna-Fog Radar Syncroflow variable flow control system, read the
steps in this manual under Variable Flow Control prior to calibrating your machine.
Preparation Steps:
1) Make sure the Remote Box is connected properly and mounted within easy reach of the
operator and that all switches are in the "OFF" position.

2) Pour the formulation into the formulation tank and flushing solution into the flush tank. Use
Dyna-Fog flushing solution in the flush tank. Tighten both caps securely.
3) Open the fiberglass pump enclosure and place the Master Power Switch in the "OFF" position.
4) At the remote box place the Blower/Atomizer switch to the "ON" position.
5) While observing the Tachometer in the fiberglass enclosure, place the master switch to the
"ON" position. The atomizer speed should be between 28,000 and 30,000 RPM. If the speed
is not in this range, shutoff the switch immediately and check the sprayers battery voltage.
The voltage should be between 12.8 and 13.8 Volts DC. If the voltage is in this range and the
speed is lower than 28,000 rpm, contact a Curtis Dyna-Fog, Ltd. representative. NOTE: If the
voltage is too low, make sure the battery is properly charged and that all electrical connections
on the machine and the vehicle are correct.
6) Close the fiberglass pump enclosure and make sure it is latched properly. The pump
enclosure and the stainless steel pump cover are designed so that they can be locked using a
pad lock. To prevent tampering with the machine while it is left unattended, you can
completely "Lock Down" the machine by placing the Master Switch in the "OFF" position and
locking the fiberglass pump enclosure and stainless steel pump cover.
7) From the Remote Box, actuate the Atomizer Direction Switch to elevate the atomizer to the
correct angle. The machine is pre-set so that the atomizer will be at a 45o upward angle when
the actuator is fully extended and at 00 (horizontal) when fully retracted. Adjust the angle to
your formulation manufacturer's label recommendation. Typically, a 450angle is used when
doing outdoor spraying. For custom applications, you can change the maximum and minimum
angle stop points by moving the actuator to the lower hole location in the actuator clevis as
shown below. The atomizer can also be rotated horizontally by manually loosening the clamp
knob and positioning the atomizer in the desired direction.
8) At the remote box, place the Spray ON/OFF Switch to the "OFF" position and the
Formulation/Flush Switch to the Formulation position.
9) Once you have reached the area you are intending to spray, place the Atomizer/Blower switch
to the "ON" position. As a safety feature, the pump will not operate until the Atomizer/Blower
Switch is in the "ON" position.
10) After the atomizer is fully up to operating speed (3-5 seconds), and once your vehicle reaches
your application driving speed, spray can be started and stopped using the Spray ON/OFF
Switch.
11) To stop spraying, first turn OFF the spray. Wait at least one minute to purge liquid from the
atomizer sleeve before turning OFF the Atomizer/Blower switch.

17
Important
Remember to always read and follow the formulation manufacturer's instructions
on the proper use of the formulation you are attempting to spray. To prevent over applying the
formulation, do not spray when the vehicle is stationary.
Optional Radar Syncroflow System
When equipped, the Curtis Radar SyncroflowTM System allows the dispensing of formulation to be
either a constant flow (AManual@) regardless of vehicle speed, or a variable flow (ASyncroflow@) which
is correlated to vary proportionately with vehicle speeds from 4 to 20 m.p.h.
Either system can be actuated by a toggle switch located at the back of the pump enclosure.
When the syncroflow system is actuated, electronic pulses are fed from the Radar to the formulation
pump. As the vehicle moves faster or slower these pulses increase or decrease in frequency which in
turn cause the formulation output pump to increase or decrease the fluid flow. A digital readout of the
pump and vehicle speed are displayed at the remote control box.
The Syncroflow System can be used by itself or with Dyna-Trax to give you full recording and
monitoring capabilities.
Dyna-Trax GPS- Refer to the separate Dyna-Trax Instruction Manual prior to operating your
machine.
When equipped with the Dyna-Trax GPS System, your machine has the ability to perform the
following tasks:
¾Vary pump output with vehicle speed (When used with Syncroflow)
¾Monitor and record spray route, complete with Spray ON/OFF locations.
¾Store large amounts of recorded data that can be easily loaded onto your PC.
¾View and Print reports showing spray activity, volume, area, operator, speed, etc…

Flushing
To keep your machine operating efficiently, you must always flush the machine after every spray
application. Flushing helps to remove contaminates and residuals left in the formulation pump, tubes
and atomizer sleeve from the formulation. These residuals can sometimes be thick and have a look
of "varnish". When the spray operation is complete, place the Formulation/Flush Switch to the Flush
position and turn the spray on. You should always perform the first minute of flushing while the
vehicle is moving until all insecticide is purged from the system. Once the insecticide is purged, it is
safe to complete the flushing operation with the vehicle stopped. Flush for 2-3 minutes. Use only
Dyna-Fog flushing solution, or a Curtis Dyna-Fog approved flushing agent such as Aire-Mate

ULV
Flushing Solution (Specify Part No. 1-0224).

Cleaning the Atomizer's Porous Sleeve
When properly maintained, your Dyna-Jet L30 atomizer will produce spray droplet sizes suitable for
all approved labeled formulations registered for use for Mosquito Control and Fly Control. While the
formulation pump is capable of producing up to 20 oz/min (591 ml/min) for special applications, the
FMI pump has been governed to produce a maximum flow of 14 oz/min (414 ml/min). Most
formulation labels require no more than 12 oz/min (355 ml/min).
During normal operation formulation is fed into a porous sleeve and aluminum housing where it is
sheared at a high rotational speed into micron sized spray droplets and released into atmosphere.
There are literally billions of droplets produced from 1 ounce (30 ml) of liquid. Any solid particles that
were suspended in the liquid are "filtered" out by two means: 1) The formulation filter and 2) the
porous plastic sleeve. This is why it is extremely important to keep the formulation fresh and clean
and to clean the formulation filter as required. IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT ALL FORMULATIONS
BE POURED THRU A FILTERING FUNNEL WHEN FILLING THE FORMULATION TANK. Using
chemicals that have been stored for long periods of time tend to "settle out" and form impurities that
can clog the atomizer sleeve. Always pre-filter any old or suspect formulation using a fine mesh or
paper element filter before pouring it into the formulation tank.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to disassemble the atomizer. The atomizer components are produced with precision
tolerances and are balanced after assembly. Disassembling the atomizer will ruin the precision
balance. All atomizer components must remain in place for the atomizer to work safely and properly.
To clean the atomizer, you will only need to loosen the center hex nut. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO
REMOVE THE THREE LOCKNUTS THAT HOLD THE ASSEMBLY TOGETHER. To reduce the
possibility of clogging, do not touch the surface of the porous plastic sleeve when handling the
assembly. When using oil-soluble formulations, the atomizer assembly should be cleaned with the
special Aire-Mate
®
ULV Flushing Solution as discussed in the FLUSHING section of this manual.
To clean the sleeve allow it to soak in a container filled with about 1/2" (1.25 cm) of Flushing
Solution. Allow the sleeve to soak for 2 hours to enable the cleaning solution to wick into the
surface of the porous plastic sleeve and then air dry using compressed air blowing from the outside
surface inward. Repeat this process up to 3 times if necessary until the sleeve appears clean. Any
water soluble materials can be quickly cleaned from the sleeve using high-pressure clean water
spraying from the outside inward. DO NOT WIPE THE SURFACE OF THE PLASTIC SLEEVE. This
will cause contaminates to be forced into the surface and clog the sleeve.
