ESS XT-3 OWNER’S MANUAL
Air-assisted electrostac sprayers produce electrically charged spray drops that are
carried to the plant canopy or onto the target in a low pressure, gentle, air stream.
The heart of the XT -3 Sprayer is the patented MaxCharge™ nozzle.
Air and liquid enter separately at the rear of the nozzle. Just before leaving the
nozzle, the air hits the liquid stream to make many thousands of ny spray
droplets that pass through the charging ring. An electrical charge is applied to the
spray droplets by the charging ring. Then the charged spray droplets are blown out
of the nozzle and move into the plant canopy where they are aracted to plant
material by electrostac forces. The electrostac charge induced by the Max-
Charge™ nozzle is strong enough to allow the droplets to move in any direcon
to cover all plant surfaces, even defying gravity to coat the underside of leaves and
the back side of fruits, vegetables, and objects. The result is uniform spray
coverage on hidden surfaces that other sprayers miss. Air-assisted
electrostac sprayers give more than twice the deposion eciency of hydraulic
sprayers and non-electrostac types of air-assisted sprayers. The grower benets
in terms of signicant reducons in applicaon costs and opmized insect and
disease control, sanizaon of beef or other coverage.
The MaxCharge™ nozzle is easy to clean and corrosion-proof. The interior ceramic
outlet resists wear three mes beer than stainless steel outlets. These features
combine to give the best spray coverage on the market. This quality product is
virtually maintenance-free, and assures you of savings in the applicaon of
chemical.
The comparison of air-assisted electrostac spraying versus convenonal
spraying is dramac.
Electrostacally charged droplets are
aracted to plant surfaces.
A picture is worth a thousand words…
In this test, orescent dye has been
sprayed on two round knobs. The le
knob was sprayed with the electrostac
system ON; the right knob was sprayed
with the same sprayer, but with the
electrostac system OFF. Note how even
the coverage is on the electrostac
knob.
Where Does The Spray Go?
1
Overview of the ESS Model XT-3 Air-Assisted Electrostac Sprayer
The University of California completed a series of tests to invesgate what
happens to spray liquid aer it leaves the nozzle.
Conclusion: ESS technology places over 4 mes the amount of spray
onto the plant surface using 1/2 the amount of chemicals. Furthermore,
they also reported that ESS sprayers send 2/3 less chemicals to the
ground and into the air. Less chemical used overall, less waste, and less
dri than convenonal equipment.

Operators Responsibility
Re ad the Owner ’s M anual! Failure to do so is considered a misuse of the equipment.
It is the responsibility of the user to read the Operator’s Manual to understand the safe
and correct operating procedures for the sprayer and to maintain the sprayer according
to the manufacturer’s recommendations. It is the operator’s responsibility to ensure that
all who are using this equipment read this manual.
The operator is responsible for inspecting the equipment and for repairing and replacing
damaged or worn parts to prevent damage or excessive wear to other parts. It is also the
operator’s responsibility to deliver the machine for service or to replace defective parts
which are covered by the standard warranty.
CAUTION: SHOCK HAZARD
The XT-3 sprayer has been engineered to be very safe during normal operaon. However, as with all line-powered
electrical equipment and tools, certain safety procedures need to be followed.
Use a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) power outlet whenever possible.
If an extension cord is necessary, use a three-wire extension cord with a 3-prong grounding type plug.
Turn o sprayer before unplugging.
Unplug sprayer when not in use.
Always unplug by grasping the plug. Do not unplug by pulling on the cord.
Never pull plug with wet hands.
Do not pull or carry the sprayer by its power cord. Do not crimp the cord or cause it to be damaged by straining it around
sharp edges. Keep power cord away from heat sources.
Do not use the XT -3 sprayer with a damaged power cord. Call ESS for a replacement.

ESS XT-3 OWNER’S MANUAL
About the low-voltage system of the MaxCharge Spray gun
For operator safety, the power supply for the MaxCharge spraywand is enrely separate from the power supply for
the sprayer’s compressor. The .spraywand is powered by 9-volt baeries in the handle of the XT -3 sprayer. This
low-voltage charge is not enough to harm people. Some people report feeling a “ngle” or a slight snging
sensaon when the spray from the spraywand falls on their bare skin.
CHEMICAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Read and follow all instrucons on the chemical or pescide manufacturer’s label.
Use protecve clothing, eye protecon and gloves when mixing chemicals to be sprayed with the XT -3 sprayer.
Some of the chemicals that can be used in the BP1 may be harmful to the skin or if inhaled. When in doubt, use a
respirator and eye protecon when spraying with the spraywand.
Follow the chemical manufacturer’s recommendaons in handling, mixing, applying, storing and disposing of
chemicals.
Be aware of decontaminaon methods in case a person, clothing, or equipment is accidentally sprayed.
Be aware of poisoning symptoms and know the appropriate rst aid.
Know the length of me needed to pass before allowing people and pets to go back into the sprayed area.

ESS XT-3 OWNER’S MANUAL
READ AND FOLLOW THE CHEMICAL
MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY.
It is extremely important for the owner/
operator’s safety as Well as the safety of other
people in the vicinity that all chemical safety
precauons are followed.
This label is placed on top of the XT-3 Sprayer
near the quick connect sockets.
The SC-EB compressor becomes hot during normal
operaon.
DO NOT TOUCH
This label is wrapped around the hose to remind
you to clean the lters regularly. The number one
cause of poor sprayer performance is a clogged or
ditry lter.
There will be a small shock when using our
sprayers. To avoid this shock place your thumb
on the bolt at the top of the spraywand.
Safety Decals
Appropriate safety decals are placed on ESS equipment in order to alert the operator to possible dangers.

If you have a pacemaker, we would recommend that you not operate an electrostac sprayer, or if you elect to
do so, know that you are accepng any risk associated therewith. Just to be clear, no one, with a pacemaker, has
ever had a problem using our electrostac sprayers, however, several years ago a physician expressed concern,
even though his opinion was un-tested and not founded in any research. Since that me, we have taken the
ulmate safe approach and recommended that those with pacemakers not operate our electrostac sprayers.

Air lter
Note: XT-3 units manufactured aer March 2009 do not require an
air lter on the spraywand air leader.
For XT-3 units manufactured before March 2009, there is an in-line air lter located outside
the base of the spraywand in the air hose. It lters dirt out of the air lines. It’s easy to tell the
Air Filter from the Liquid Filter Assembly because the Air Filter is in a silver-colored casing.
Replacement parts for the air lter assembly are available as a kit. The kit includes a lter, and
large and small o-rings.
Order using ESS part number 231.
To clean the air lter:
1. Unthread the casing from the cap using a 3/4” wrench on both parts. Be careful not to lose
the spring or the air lter inside of the casing.
2. Check inside each part for debris. Clean any dirt out with compressed air or warm, soapy
water.
3. Reassemble the air lter, making sure to put it together as shown above.
Cleaning the air lter on the base unit
To clean the air lter for the compressor, pull o the lter cap, located inside the front panel.

ESS XT-3 OWNER’S MANUAL
To disassemble, clean and reassemble the liquid lter
(see labeled drawing above):
1. Using a 13/16” wrench on the cap (Item 8) and an 11/16” wrench on the 1/8”
NPT body (Item 12), unthread them. Note: When you disassemble the liquid
lter assembly, noce how the parts t together in order to reassemble them
properly. Be careful not to lose any parts, parcularly the ow disk (Item 10)
which is inside the cap. The sprayer will not funcon correctly without the ow
disk.
2. Remove the strainer (Item 11) from the 1/8” NPT body.
3. If the 1/8” NPT body contains residue, clean it with compressed air or clean
water.
4. Clean the strainer with compressed air or clean water. If residue sll remains in
the 50 mesh screen, disassemble the strainer. Unscrew the top brass part from
the boom brass part. The 50 mesh screen slides o the brass body and can be
cleaned with compressed air or clean water. If residue sll remains, soak the 50
mesh screen and screw the top brass part back on the lower brass part.
5. If the ow disk is sll in the cap, remove it. Check the aperture of the ow disk
for blockage. If there is any, clean it with compressed air or water. Replace the
ow disk so that the numbers on the disk face the strainer.
6. Replace the strainer in the 1/8” NPT body.
7. Rethread the 1/8” NPT body and the cap.
You may have to clean the liquid
lter more
frequently if the XT-3 is
being used to spray high-parcle
density soluons.
Liquid lter assembly
The liquid lter assembly is located outside the base of the spraywand.
It is composed of these parts: a 1/8” NPT body (Item 12), a strainer (Item 11), a
ow disk (Item 10), an adapter (Item 9) and a cap (Item 8). The strainer is the
acve ltering element in the volume of liquid that ows through the line. There is
an extra ow disk and an extra strainer in the XT-3 Parts Kit in case the
originals are lost or damaged.

ESS XT-3 OWNER’S MANUAL
Nozzle Assembly
It is very important to follow all the maintenance and cleaning
procedures to ensure that the electrostac sprayer will funcon properly.
Although the MaxCharge™ nozzle will outperform all electrostac spray
technology on the market, regular cleaning will ensure peak operang
performance.
The nozzle assembly is located at the end of the spray gun wand. It is
composed of a nozzle body, internal o-ring, Teon ring, cover, external
o-ring, and a hood (see labeled drawing at right). To access the nozzle
components, just unscrew the nozzle cover by hand.
Cleaning the spraywand
Always rinse the spraywand out with clean soapy water aer every day’s
spraying. That is the most important thing you can do to ensure trouble
free operaon of your XT -3 sprayer. By cleaning aer each and every
working day you will avoid the long term chemical buildup that
eventually causes clogs, poor spray paerns and shortens nozzle life.
Establish maintenance intervals to disassemble and clean the nozzle. Your
nozzle maintenance schedule will vary depending on the types of
chemicals used and adherence to pre- and post- spray checks. In general it
is sucient to thoroughly clean nozzles every 50 hours. If heavy loads of
weable powers are used, the cleaning schedule should be sooner.
12
To clean the nozzle assembly
1. Slide the hood over the nozzle cover.
2. Unscrew the cover from the nozzle base and remove the Teon ring. Clean any debris fromaround the nozzle p. Note: There
is a small o-ring in the nozzle around the base of the p – take care that it doesn’t fall o. If it does, clean it and press back into
place. Also, take care not to damage the nozzle p when the cover is removed.
3. Soak the ring, cover, and hood in a mild detergent soluon. Use a small brush (so or mild bristle) to clean the inside of the
cover and the hole through it. Also, be sure to clean the hood. It is important to clean inside the hood and the two cavies.
Rinse thoroughly.
4. Scrub the nozzle base with the detergent soluon using a so bristle brush. Clean the ceramic outlet. Be sure to thoroughly
clean the base cavity and take care not to damage the nozzle p. Rinse and make sure the small o-ring is in place.
5. Reassemble nozzle by placing the Teon ring on the base and screwing the cover on hand ght. Next, slide the hood over the
nozzle and seat it securely against the external o-ring. Wipe clean the exterior of all hoses and ngs connected to the nozzle.
The electrode cover should be hand ght. Never use pliers or other tools to ghten it. The insulang ring should be
loose.

ESS XT-3 OWNER’S MANUAL
Pre-Spray Check
I. Inspect Nozzles
Check nozzle cover to make sure it is on hand ght (do not over ghten or use a wrench). Make
sure the hood is seated rmly to the nozzle base and against the external o-ring.
II. Preparing the Tank Mix
If you will be spraying weable powders it is a good idea to use a compability agent with the
water and tank mix. Compability agents are chemicals mixed with the water that make mixing
easier and keep heavy concentraons uniformly in suspension. Some brand name addives are
COMPLIMENT™, UNITE®, and BALANCE™. Check with your local chemical supplier for others that
are available.
Post-Spray Check
Aer each spray it is essenal that hoses and spray gun be ushed with clean soapy water. This will
help prevent chemical build-up that can clog lines and nozzles. Also, it is recommended that the
nozzle exterior (black poron of nozzle) and nozzle hoods be cleaned with soapy water at this me.

ESS XT-3 OWNER’S MANUAL
The Air & Liquid Delivery System
Air compressor
The air compressor produces compressed air which atomizes and propels
the liquid. It plugs into a 110 volt electrical source. Use the XT-3™ with a
three-pronged extension cord of no more than 50 feet and rated for no less
than 15 amp service. The On/O switch is on the side of the air compressor.
The XT-3 is also available with a
220-volt compressor.
14
Tank pressure regulator
As of January 1, 2010, the XT model no longer has a regulator and gauge. If you
have a model aer that date, you can no longer regulate the tank pressure.
Once you turn the sprayer on, the tank will ll with pressure and the sprayer will
funcon as it did before. If you have a model before, see the paragraph below.
There is a pressure regulator to control air pressure to the tank. It corresponds with the pressure gauge on the
le side of the front panel. This regulator is operated by pulling out the dial and turning it clockwise to
increase pressure or counter-clockwise to decrease pressure in the tank. This regulator controls the air
pressure going to the tank not to the spraygun. Generally tank pressure should be 15 psi. There are two
purposes for the tank pressurizaon: rst, to push the liquid soluon from the tank to the spraygun, and
second, to agitate the liquid in the tank, so that the chemical stays in soluon. Once the desired pressure is
achieved, push in the dial to lock it in place. Some chemicals have a tendency to foam. If you see any foam
coming out the pressure release tank value, either reduce the tank air pressure or add an “anfoaming” agent to
the soluon. In some occasions, it may be necessary to lower tank pressure to avoid foaming, to even as low as
5 psi. When adjusng tank pressure, one should dial pressure up to desired seng, rather than down. Two air
lines run from the tank pressure regulator. One line runs to the tank pressure gauge on the front panel. The
other runs to the inlet quick connect on the tank.

ESS XT-3 OWNER’S MANUAL
Quick connects
There are four sets of quick connects (plug and socket) on the sprayer:
Compressor (air) outlet
Tank (liquid) outlet,
Spray gun air inlet
Spray gun liquid inlet
In all cases, the plug is on the outlet side of the connecon.
Air connecon
The air hose is the larger of the two hoses that make up the blue twin
line hose. The quick connect for the air connecon is on the front panel of the
XT-3 body. The air socket and plug are larger in diameter than the liquid
connecons – it is not possible to connect the air hose to the liquid socket. The
other end of the air hose connects to the air leader of the spraywand (lower
leader). It’s easily recognizable because its plug is larger than the liquid
connector.
Liquid connecon
The liquid line is noceably smaller than the air hose. Its quick connect socket
is also on the front panel of the XT -3 body. It is smaller than the air quick
connect socket – it is not possible to connect the liquid hose to the air socket.
The other end of the liquid hose connects to the liquid leader of the
spraywand (upper leader).
To connect the quick connects at the spray gun leaders:
