HELPFUL HINTS: READ THE DIRECTIONS BEFORE ASSEMBLY
THIS SPRAYER COMES PARTIALLY ASSEMBLED, REQUIRING YOU TO INSTALL THE WHEELS, HANDLE ASSEMBLY,
SPRAY GUN HOLDER, AND CONTROL ROD. IT SHOULD TAKE APPROXIMATELY 15 MINUTES WITH THE USE OF TWO
7/16” WRENCHES AND 1 PAIR OF PLIERS.
5Your sprayer is designed to be pushed at three miles per hour, which is a brisk walking speed. Slower or faster speeds
will change the spray patterns and output volumes that you will achieve.
5Clean your sprayer tank thoroughly after each use. Wash with clean water and push sprayer several feet to evacuate any
residual materials until you see clean water. Do this in a safe area as described in the chemical supplier directions.
5Gears are permanently lubricated at the factory. Do not open the gearbox or dirt may enter.
5Check all hose connections regularly to ensure they remain tight.
5If unit fails to spray on initial use, or leaks from the nozzle, remove the cap from the top of the DCV, wipe off the top of
DCV body to remove any debris, and then replace the cap and tighten.
5Coat all metal surfaces (inside & outside of chassis) with light oil or silicon spray to help prevent corrosion.
5When the tank is empty, PULL THE SPRAYER BACKWARD to the designated cleaning or storage area to prevent
damage that can occur with a dry pump.
2. Turn the S25 upside-down on to the tank.
3. Ensure that the Axle Bearings are pushed into the Axle Bushing on both sides as shown

How to use your S25 Sprayer
The S25 SPRAY-PRO sprayer is designed to be simple to use, easy on the operator and provide
years of accurate spraying. The S25 is the latest development from Earthway Products, Inc., a
world leaders in the manufacture of broadcast spreaders, seeding tools, and sprayers.
Calibration
The S25 is supplied with three different nozzle options. The table below shows the characteristics and performance of the supplied nozzle
options at the eight different height setting of the DCV holder. Other Turbo Floodjet®are nozzles available from a TeeJet Dealer if
additional application rates are required. You can download a new Spray Rate Chart at www.earthway.com.
Before use
Before using any liquid products always read thoroughly
the manufacturers product label, to ensure correct
dosage and proper handling of the product being
applied through the applicator. Use the correct Safety
Equipment as directed by the chemical manufacturer.
;Check that the applicator has been thoroughly
cleaned from its previous use and that both the
nozzle outlet and the handgun line (if included)
have been washed through.
;Always spray on a day where wind is minimal.
It can be unsafe and inaccurate if spraying is
undertaken in windy conditions.
;Always wear appropriate safety clothing when
the sprayer is being used. Refer to manufacturers
instructions, or contact your supplier of the
product being applied for safety recommendations.
;Make sure the tires are properly inated to 20 psi.
How to use ~ Walk behind spraying
Practice before use
It is recommended for rst time users of the machine that the user familiarizes him/her self with
the workings of the sprayer. By simply putting water in the spray tank and spraying it out onto a
dry tarmac surface the operator will very quickly familiarize themselves with the workings of the
machine. Make sure the spray tank is then emptied of water before further use.
Make sure the handlebar is set right for the size of the operator. There are three position options
on the upper handle for different user heights. By having the handle in the correct position for
the individual user it will make pushing the machine simpler and make spray accuracy easier to
achieve.
;Choose the correct nozzle of the three nozzle options that is suitable for the product being
applied. (See calibration chart above)
;Ensure the Spray (ON) / Transport (OFF) lever on the handlebar is in the Transport position.
The Transport position is with the lever over to the right side when standing behind the
handlebars of the machine.
;Make sure the tank is clean and there is no chance of remnants or deposits from a previous
spray task being left in the tank.
;With the tank clean ll the tank with the required volume of liquid for the designated spray
task, making sure the product being used is mixed and being applied in accordance with the
manufacturers instructions.
;With the control lever is in the Transport (closed position) the machine can be safely pushed to the area where spraying is to be
carried out.
;Locate the sprayer at the point at which spraying needs to commence. Lift the machine up off the two feet, so the body of the
machine is parallel with the ground (important see drawing on next page). To spray simply roll the control lever (ON/OFF) over to
the left side (SPRAY POSITION), and walk forward at a brisk walking speed 2 to 3 MPH is recommended.
;To stop the spray roll the ON/OFF lever back to the right side (TRANSPORT POSITION). NOTE: When the Spray/Transport
lever is to the right side (TRANSPORT POSITION) and the machine is being pushed, the pump is pumping liquid out of the
tank and circulating it back into the tank. This circulation provides agitation and helps keep liquids that are mixed with water in
suspension while walking the sprayer to and from the area being treated.

For best results keep enough
liquid in the tank to ensure
the pump supply line remains
lled. Hills and rough
ground can create a “wave
effect” in the tank that will
cause the pump to have an
inconsistent spray or to lose
prime. If this occurs, turn the
control lever to TRANSPORT
and push a few feet to
re-establish the prime and
continue from where you
stopped.

How to use the S25 Sprayer - continued
When Tank is empty, pull the S25 backwards to prevent and damage to the pump.
Technical spray information and how to ensure accuracy
The S25 SPRAY-PRO Mark III has an adjustable height nozzle that offers a spray width
from approximately 3 feet/.9 meters to 5 feet / 1.5 meters.
Spray Width Adjustment
You can adjust the spray width of the S25, which will change the application coverage,
by moving the Adjustable DCV holder up or down. To use, loosen the knob located
on the front of the skirt, and slide the DCV & Nozzle assembly up/down to the desired
spray width or to a position indicated on the Application Chart on the previous page, then
tighten knob.
The SPRAY-PRO Teejet TF nozzles are designed to “feather” at the edges to allow the
second pass to “feather in,” and so provide uniform coverage. The area of “feather” or
overlap, is approximately 15% of the spray width at the edges, for a total of 30% over the
two edges/ends of the spray pattern. To maximize uniform coverage the second pass over the area
should allow for the 15% “feather” or overlap.
Ensure accuracy
It is important that the S25 SPRAY-PRO sprayer is pushed in a
manner that keeps the spray head parallel to the ground at all times, so that the spray
nozzle is constantly kept at the same correct height. Keeping the height of the nozzle
constantly parallel to the ground ensures the nozzle will spray to its stipulated spray
application cover. If the sprayer is pushed at a downward angle and the nozzle tip is
nearer to the ground, the spray width will be reduced and over application will occur. In
the reverse situation of the spray nozzle height being increased by pushing the sprayer at
an upward angle the nozzle fan will be wider, the spray width will becoming inaccurate,
under application will likely occur. To ensure spray width accuracy it is important that
the handlebar height is set right for the individual user, and the operator is aware that the
sprayer is pushed in a manner that keeps the nozzle constantly parallel with the ground.
Keeping the top of the tank parallel with the ground is a good guide.
To aid accuracy use a proprietary spray dye indicator which allows the operator
to see where they have sprayed. Contact your local landscape supplier for a
recommendation.
After use
1. Empty any unused contents out of the spray tank. The S25 SPRAY-PRO tank has been designed
to easily empty and clean. Dispose of the tank contents and all washings in accordance
with the manufacturer’s disposal instructions on the product that has been used.
2. Wash out the tank thoroughly using clean water and or a preparatory tank
cleaner. Make sure that the nozzle and spray gun (if included) are thoroughly
washed as well. To wash through the pipework to the spray nozzle, add
an additional 1/2 gallon or 2 liters of clean water to the tank and wash this
through the nozzle by pushing the sprayer over a safe area for the purpose of
disposal of washings.
3. Empty all water out of the sprayer making sure no water is left in the pump
over winter - do not allow to freeze, unless you have setup the S25 to operate
in freezing temperatures using an Ice Melt or snow pre-treatments.
Maintain the wheel knurled pins regularly by cleaning any debris or dirt
from the Drive Wheel axle area. Keep knurled pins well lubricated to
prevent seizure. An Extra set is included!
