Assembly
The sprayer is fully assembled at the factory. The only
assembly necessary is to thread the pressure gauge in
place, and to hook up the wiring to an existing 12 volt power
source.
The red wire of the two wire set must be connected to the
positive post on the battery or the “Hot” connection on a
switch or to the ammeter. The brown wire may be grounded
or connected to the negative battery post. Install all parts of
the boom assembly to the boom brackets as shown in the
exploded view drawing. The in-line switch turns the unit on
and off. Running the pump dry will not harm the pump for
short periods of time.
Read the operating instructions and then run the sprayer
using only water for testing. When everything tests all right,
add the desired chemical mixture and water combination
and start the spraying operation.

After Spraying
After use, fill the sprayer tank part way with water. Start the
sprayer, and allow the clear water to be pumped through the
plumbing system and out through the spray nozzles.
Refill the tank about half full with plain water and use FIMCO
Tank Neutralizer and Cleaner, and repeat cleaning instructions
above.
Flush the entire sprayer with the neutralizing/cleaning agent,
then flush out one more time with plain water. Follow the
chemical manufacturer's disposal instructions of all wash or
rinsing water.
For the boom, (if applicable) remove the tips and screens from
the nozzle assemblies. Wash these items out thoroughly. Blow
the orifice clean and dry. If the orifice remains clogged, clean it
with a fine bristle (NOT WIRE) brush, or with a toothpick. Do
not damage the orifice. Water rinse and dry the tips before
storing.
WARNING: Some chemicals will damage the pump valves
if allowed to soak untreated for a length of time! ALWAYS
flush the pump as instructed after each use.

Operation & Calibration
The performance of any agricultural chemical depends upon
the proper application of the correct amount.
Be sure that your equipment has been calibrated before
spraying.
Initially begin spraying by opening the handgun. This will
enable the air in the line to be eliminated through the tip,
while building pressure.
The pumping system draws solution from the tank, through
the strainer, and to the pump. The pump forces the solution
under pressure to the handgun or boom nozzles.
Pressure may be decreased by opening the bypass valve
to the tank. When it is closed the highest spraying pressure
will be reached.
• Open the handgun by squeezing the handle lever
• Rotating the adjustable nozzle tip on the handgun will
change the tip from a straight stream to a cone pattern (finer
mist). Be sure the thumb nut on the adjustment nozzle is
tight.
• The pump motor's demand switch shuts off the motor
when the handgun, bypass valve and boom lines are fully
closed.
The system remains pressurized, and the pump motor will
restart automatically when the handgun or boom line is
opened. If, however, the bypass line is open, the pump will
not shut off automatically.
• The 7 nozzles are fixed on 20" spacing.
• All seven nozzles spraying at the same time will allow a
maximum coverage of 140 inches.
Adjusting Pressure
- When the bypass line valve is closed, pressure is at the
highest point.
- Opening the valve will decrease pressure.
Testing the Sprayer
It is important to test the sprayer with plain water before
actual spraying is attempted. This will enable you to check the
sprayer for leaks in the plumbing system.
1. Open tank lid and be sure the tank is clean and free of
foreign material. Fill the tank about half full with plain
water.
2. Open the valve on the filter/valve assembly next to the
pump and allow water to flow to the pump. The valve is
located at this point to enable the strainer to be taken apart
for cleaning.
3. There are two valves located on the valve and handgun
bracket. One of these is a shut-off for the boom and the other
is for pressure adjustment. Open the valve that controls flow
to the boom and open the bypass control valve.
4. You may now start the sprayer.
5. The pressure should now be increased to as desired by
closing the bypass valve.
6. During this testing period be sure to observe the spray
pattern given by the spray nozzles. Each nozzle should
overlap the next nozzle approximately 30%. If there is any
pattern distortion, it will be necessary to remove and clean the
affected tips.
CAUTION: Never use a metal object or other sharp item
for cleaning a nozzle tip. It is better to use a nozzle brush
(not wire brush) or compressed air for tip cleaning.
Drain all water out of your sprayer, paying special attention to
the pump, handgun, and valve(s). These items are especially
prone to damage from chemicals and freezing weather.
The sprayer should be winterized before storage by pumping a
solution of RV antifreeze through the entire plumbing system.
This antifreeze solution should remain in the plumbing system
during the winter months. When spring time comes and you
are preparing your sprayer for the spray season, rinse the
entire plumbing system out, clearing the lines of the antifreeze
solution. Proper care and maintenance will prolong the life of
your sprayer.
Winter Storage
Using the Boom Nozzles
Four things must be considered before spraying with the boom:
How much chemical must be mixed in the tank. 1.
Rate of spray (gallons per acre to be sprayed) 2.
What pressure (p.s.i.) will be used. 3.
Speed traveled (mph) while spraying. 4.
- Refer to the chemical label to determine your chemical
mixture.
- See the tip chart to determine the pressure to be used. The
chart will also show the speed used when spraying.
- Start the pump and open the valve(s) to the boom nozzles.
- Check the spray pattern. Usually you can see the coverage
better on a solid concrete surface, such as a driveway.
- The spray nozzles should be approx. 17" to 22" above the
objects being sprayed.

If none of the above will work, try pulling wire terminal "A" off of the spade terminal of the pressure switch, and cross it over and touch terminal "B". (You will need to remove
the pressure switch cap before doing this) If your pump runs when you do this, you know you will need to replace your pressure switch.
Another thing you can try is to take apart the switch box on the lead wire assembly (#5274443) with the (2) phillips head screws, and 'hot-wire' it together. Take the (2) wires
that are screwed to the rocker switch, off of the switch and twist them together. This will insure you are getting the full 12 volts to the pump. If your pump runs after doing this,
- Check line strainer (screen) at the inlet location, at the tank. You will need to unscrew the knurled nut to access this screen. (see exploded view later in this manual) The
ON/OFF valve should be closed while performing this, to insure you do not lose any solution. Periodically take the screen at this location out and clean it.
- Unscrew the head portion of your pump and remove the check valve assembly from inside. You need to make sure the O-Ring comes out with this piece as well. (See the
exploded view to help identify these components) These pieces can be cleaned which, in most cases, will help restore some, if not most, of your prime. Soak this check valve
in a solution of hot, soapy water. A good name-brand dishsoap works well for this. A little bit of 'scrubbing' with perhaps an old toothbrush may be required to actually break up
any build-up that may be on the check valve. Rinse off the pieces and replace them back into your pump. Reassemble the pump. Hook it back up and test.

Troubleshooting a 3.8 g.p.m. Pump:
- Check inline fuse on the wires on the pump. If blown, replace with new fuse. (15 Amp mini-blade fuse #5157206)
- Make sure BOTH on/off switches are in the 'on' position (-).
- Make sure you 12 volt source (battery) is fully charged.
- Insure a tight connection at the battery clips.
you will know that your lead wire assembly needs to be replaced.
- Make sure the bypass line valve is closed, to allow the pressure to build up in your system.
