Owner's Manual
General Information
Thank you for purchasing this product. The purpose of this
manual is to assist you in operating and maintaining your lawn
& garden/ATV sprayer. Please read it carefully, as it furnishes
information which will help you achieve years of trouble-free
operation.
Assembly
1. Install the tank mounting plates to the tank as shown in the
exploded view drawing.
2. Place the tank, with the brackets attached, on your ATV
carrier rack. Attach the mounting brackets to the cross
members of the rack, using the hardware supplied. (See
exploded view drawing)
3. Join the boom mounting brackets to the tank mounting
brackets with the hardware shown. Bolt your boom to these
brackets with the hardware provided.
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. Thread the pressure gauge into the reducing bushing at the
far end of the manifold assembly. Use a good grade of thread
sealant here, to insure no leaks.
6. 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'.
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.

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 bypass line valve.
Read the operating instructions and Initially begin spraying by
closing the 'bypass' valve (this is the center ON/OFF valve
located at the center port of your manifold assembly) and
opening the boom line valve (this is the 'other' 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 all right (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.

Operation
Your sprayer is equipped with (2) ON/OFF switches. One is
on the wire assembly that you hook up to your battery, the
other is on the pump itself, on the opposite end of the
pressure switch. The "-" is the "ON" position and the "o" is
the "OFF" position for the switches. Make sure both
switches are depressed in the "-" position for operation.
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).

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.
#5275704 Pump
(12 Volt, 11 Amp, 3.8 gpm, 45 psi)
Troubleshooting a 3.8 g.p.m. Pump:
Pump will NOT run:
- 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.
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, you will know that your lead wire assembly
needs to be replaced.
Pump runs, but does not prime:
- 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.
- Make sure the bypass line valve is closed, to allow the pressure to
build up in your system.
- 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 brand-
name 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.
Items (9) & (10) come together in a
bag with the pump, bag part #7771831 .

Winter Storage
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.
