IMPORTANT: Remove tank lid and be sure the tank is clean and free of
any foreign material. Rinse tank out of any tank residue before filling with
water to test.
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.
Fill the tank about 1/2 full with plain water and drive to the starting place for spraying.
When you are ready to spray, turn the boom valve to the “on” position (Detail A). 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 (Detail B).
Make sure your pattern is sufficient. You may down-pressure the system by ‘bypassing’ solu-
tion back into the tank. This is achieved by opening the bypass valve. Regulating pressure is
done in this manner.
Read the operating instructions and initially begin spraying by closing the ‘Pressure Adjust’
valve and opening the boom line valve (Detail A). This will enable the air in the line to be elimi-
nated (purged) through all the tips, while building pressure. When everything tests all right (no
leaks and 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) before application!
Operation
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.
Connect the lead wire to a fully charged 12 volt battery. You may use either a stand-alone
battery or the battery on your towing vehicle. Connect to the positive (red) terminal first, then
connect to the negative (black) terminal. Then connect the end of the lead wire to the end of
the pump. When disconnecting, disconnect the end of the pump wire from the lead wire, then
disconnect the negative (black) connection and finally the positive (red) connection. The lead
wire has an On/Off switch to activate the pump. “-” is on and “O” is off.
Fill the tank part way with water and then add the desired amount of chemical to be sprayed.
Finish filling tank to proper level. Turn the pump on and by depressing the “-” side of the rock-
er switch. The pump is equipped with a pressure switch that is pre-set at the factory to shut
the pump off when all discharges are closed.
The pump will turn back on when one of the following actions occurs:
 Handgun lever is squeezed to spray the handgun.
 Boom valve is opened to broadcast spray with the boom.
 Bypass valve is opened to re-circulate solution back into the tank.
When spraying with either the boom or the handgun, pressure may be reduced by slowly
opening the bypass valve until desired pressure is achieved. Opening the valve decreases
pressure, closing the valve increases pressure. When spraying with the boom, the proper
method to set the pressure is to open the boom valve completely and if a lower pressure is
desired, then slowly open the bypass valve until that pressure is obtained.
For the safest and most efficient chemical application, you will need to calibrate your sprayer
using the tip and speed charts. Once you have determined the proper speed and pressure
settings, you will need to consult your chemical label for the amount of chemical to be added
to the tank. Read the entire label. Use only according to label directions.
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 2 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.

Using the Boom Nozzles
Four things must be considered before spraying with the boom.
 How much chemical must be mixed in the tank.
 Rate of spray (gallons per acre to be sprayed).
 What pressure (p.s.i.) will be used.
 Speed traveled (mph) while spraying.
 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 to the boom nozzles.
 Check the spray pattern. Usually you can see the cover-
age better on a solid concrete surface, such as a drive-
way.
Maintenance During/After Spraying
Periodically check the strainer and clean the screen on your
intake line.
Proper care and maintenance will prolong the life of your sprayer.
After use, drain the tank and store or dispose of chemical properly. Fill the sprayer half way with
clean water. Start the pump and allow the water to pump through the entire plumbing system
and nozzles. Drain and then refill half full, add the recommended amount of a good quality tank
cleaner, such as FIMCO Tank Neutralizer and Cleaner. (If no tank cleaner is available, you may
substitute dish soap for this step, about 1-2 oz. per gallon). Turn pump on and circulate through
system for 15 minutes and then spray out through boom and handgun nozzles. Refill sprayer
half way with clean water and repeat. Follow the chemical manufacturer’s disposal instructions
of all wash or rinsing water.
If boom or handgun nozzles need cleaning, remove them from the sprayer and soak in warm
soapy water. Clean with a soft bristled brush or toothpick if necessary. Never use a metal ob-
ject. Even the slightest damage can change the flow rate and spray distribution. 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. DO NOT allow
chemicals to sit in the pump for extended times of idleness. Follow the chemical manu-
facturer’s instructions on disposal of all waste water from the sprayer.
Winter Storage
Prepare the sprayer for end-of-season storage by running RV antifreeze through the system. This will keep internal parts lubricated, protect against
corrosion and keep the unit from freezing. Note: RV antifreeze is non-toxic and biodegradable and generally safer for the environment than automotive
antifreeze.
Before storing your sprayer for winter or long term storage, thoroughly clean and drain it as much as possible. Then pour enough pink RV antifreeze
into the tank so that when the pump is turned on you can pump the antifreeze throughout the entire plumbing system, including the bypass. Make sure
to operate the boom and handgun until you see pink fluid spraying from the nozzles. Leave any remaining antifreeze in the tank. Before your next
usage, rinse the antifreeze from the sprayer with clean water.
It is nearly impossible to drain all of the water from the sprayer and any trapped water can freeze in cold weather and damage parts of the sprayer.
Pumping the antifreeze through the system will displace the water and help prevent this damage.
Removing from storage: drain the antifreeze. Fill the tank with fresh water and run through the system. Dispose of antifreeze and flush water properly.
There is a shut-off valve on the intake line. It is at this location so you can shut
off the flow of solution to access your system’s filter screen for cleaning.
Checking/Cleaning the sprayer’s filter/screen:
 Start your pump and before it shuts off, reach down and shut the valve to
the ‘Closed’ position (lever is perpendicular to the flow of fluid), then shut
off your pump.
 Unscrew the bowl of the filter to access the screen.
 Remove the screen and clean as necessary. Replace when done and
reassemble the entire assembly.
 Make sure the valve is turned to the ‘Open’ position before restarting your
pump.
