How to use the S25 Sprayer
EarthWay’s 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, world leaders in the manufacture of broadcast spreaders, seeding tools, and sprayers.
Calibration
The S25 is supplied with 3 different nozzle options. The table below shows the characteristics and performance of the supplied nozzle
options. You have the ability to adjust your spray width using the adjustable DCV holder which will also change the output volume per
square foot or meter.

Before use
Before using any liquid products always read thoroughly the manufacturers product label, to ensure correct dosage and handling of the
product being applied through the applicator.
;Check that the applicator has been thoroughly cleaned from its previous use and that both the nozzle outlet and the handgun line 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.
How to use
;Choose the correct nozzle of the 3 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 closed position as shown above 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 note (ii) on next page). To spray simply roll the On/Off lever 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 position. Note. When the Spray/Transport lever is in 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.

How to use the S25 Sprayer continued
Technical spray information and how to ensure accuracy
The spray width is adjustable from approximately 3 feet/.9 meters to 6 feet / 1.8 meters. Depending on the nozzle selected (see nozzle
chart) The 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 @ 15% of the spray widths edges, 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.
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. (9”/23CM from the ground surface) Keeping the
height of the nozzle constantly parallel to the ground at 9”/23CM height 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 than 9”/23CM, 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 at 9”/23CM height from it.
To aid accuracy use a proprietary spray dye indicator which allows the operator
to see where they have sprayed. Contact your 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 hand lance gun are thoroughly
washed through as well. To wash through the pipework to the spray nozzle, add an additional 1/2 gallon/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 some Ice Melt or snow pre-treatments.
