Operation
Your sprayer is equipped with one ON/OFF switches. This is on
the wire assembly that you hook up to your battery. The "-" is
the "ON" position and the "o" is the "OFF" position for the switch.
In addition to the ON/OFF switch, the pump is equipped with an
electronic pressure switch that is factory pre-set for it to shut off
at 45 p.s.i.. This switch assembly is the 'square box' on the head
portion of the pump.
Always fill the tank with a desired amount of water first, and then
add the chemical slowly, mixing as you pour the chemical into
the tank. You may use the handgun to spray into the solution in
order to mix the chemical and water.
Initially begin spraying by opening the handgun. This will enable
the air in the line to be purged through the handgun tip, while
building pressure.
The pumping system draws solution from the tank, through the
strainer/filter, and to the pump. The pump forces the solution
under pressure to the handgun and/or boom nozzles.
Open the handgun by squeezing the handle lever. •
Rotating the adjustable nozzle tip on the handgun will •
change the tip pattern from a straight stream to a cone
pattern (finer mist).
1. Install the Quick Release Brackets to the tank as shown in
the exploded view drawing.
2. Place the tank, with the brackets attached, on your ATV
carrier rack. Attach using ratchet straps.
3. Slide the boom mounting brackets into the Quick Release
Brackets. Use Cam handles on Quick Release Brackets to
secure the boom mounting brackets.
4. Attach the nozzle harness assembly to the boom. Each
nozzle body has a brass nut which holds it to the steel boom
member. Make sure these are tightened securly.
5. Attach the boom assembly to the boom mounting brackets at
desired height. Be sure to center boom assembly.
6. Thread the pressure gauge into the manifold assembly. Use
teflon tape or thread sealant to insure no leaks.
7. Remove the drain plug assembly and handgun clips from the
parts bag. Attach them to the tank as shown in the exploded
view drawing.
8. Connect the wiring harness to the rear of the pump. Clip the
alligator clip ends to a fully charged 12 Volt battery. Red wire to
the 'Hot' connection, and black wire to the 'Ground'.
Assembly
Testing the Sprayer
NOTE:
It is VERY important for you to test your sprayer with plain
water before actual spraying is attempted. This will enable
you to check the sprayer for leaks, without the possibility of
losing any expensive chemicals.
Add water to the tank & drive to the starting place for spraying.
When you are ready to spray, turn the boom valve to the "on"
position. This will start solution spraying from the tips of the boom.
The pressure will decrease slightly when the boom is spraying.
Adjust the pressure by turning the "ON/OFF" valve lever on the
pressure adjust valve.
Read the operating instructions and Initially begin spraying by
closing the 'pressure adjust' valve (this is the ON/OFF valve
located at the end of your manifold assembly) and opening the
boom line valve (this is the 'middle' valve on the manifold). This
will enable the air in the line to be eliminated (purged) through all
the tips, while building pressure. When everything tests correctly
(no leaks, & good pressure), add the desired chemicals to the
mixture and water combination and start your spraying operation.
Adjust the pressure and spray as you did in the testing procedure.
Conditions of weather and terrain must be considered when
setting the sprayer. Do not spray on windy days. Protective
clothing must be worn in some cases.
Be sure to read the chemical label(s) correctly!
Calibration
Chemical labels may show application rates in gallons per acre,
gallons per 1000 square feet, or gallons per 100 square feet. You
will note that the tip chart shows all 3 of these rating systems.
Once you know how much you are going to spray, then determine
(from the tip chart) the spraying pressure (PSI), and the spraying
speed (MPH).
Determining the proper speed of the pulling vehicle can be done
by marking off 100, 200, & 300 feet. The speed chart indicates
the number of seconds it takes to travel the distances. Set the
throttle and with a running start, travel the distances. Adjust the
throttle until you travel the distances in the number of seconds
indicated by the speed chart. Once you have reached the throttle
setting needed, mark the throttle location so you can stop and go
again, returning to the same speed.
Add water and proper amount of chemical to the tank and drive to
the starting place for spraying.

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
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.

NOTES
Storing Sprayer
When sprayer is not in use, release Cam Lock Handles. This is to prevent deforming of Cam Lock Mechanism.
Do not use QR bracket Cams to hold and store boom in vertical position.
