~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~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 lling with
water to test.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~IMPORTANT~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It is VERY important to test this sprayer with plain water before actual spraying is aempted. This will enable you to familiarize
yourself with the sprayer and check for leaks without the possibility of losing any expensive chemicals.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~WARNING~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Read and Understand the Owner’s Manual before using this sprayer. Test and use in accordance to instrucons.
Read and Follow chemical label instrucons and wear protecve gear when lling, using, cleaning and
servicing the sprayer.
Exercise Cauon in vehicle handling when towing/hauling a lled sprayer to avoid loss of control or overturning.
Keep Sprayer and Spray materials away from other people, children and pets.
Do Not Turn on Power to the sprayer, unl ready to spray in order to avoid unintenonal spray release.
Do Not Use on steep slopes. A full sprayer could cause loss of control or overturn sprayer and vehicle.
Always operate up and down a slope, never across the face of a slope.
Keep all movement on slopes slow and gradual. Do not make sudden changes in speed, direcons or turning. Do not start or stop
suddenly when going uphill or downhill.
Stop on level ground, set the parking brake and shut o engine before leaving the operator’s posion for any reason.
Keep all parts in good condion and properly installed. Fix damaged or warn parts immediately.
Cauon should be taken when towing and/or using any sprayer. This sprayer combined with the weight distribuon, turning radius
and speed of vehicle can result in damage to vehicle and/or sprayer or severe injury or death, if not used properly.
Improper use of this sprayer or handling of chemicals could result in serious injury or illness, or could cause damage to the envi-
ronment.
Assembly Instrucons
The sprayer is completely assembled. It is ready to operate aer mounng it securely on a truck bed.
Make sure all hose clamps are ght before tesng or spraying for the rst me.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~IMPORTANT REMINDER~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ADD proper oil to the engine crankcase and gasoline to the gas tank. Refer to the engine manual for the correct type and amount.
**The Sprayer is now ready to TEST w/plain water before actual use**

Page 3
Before Operang the Sprayer
1. Add proper oil to the engine crankcase and gasoline to the gas tank. Refer to engine manual for correct oil type. Add SAE 30 to
the sight level in the diaphragm pump. Fill the gear case with 90W gear lube unl the gear lube runs out the side plug hole.
2. Add plain water to the tank and check the system for leaks. Open the sucon line valve. Make sure the pressure regulator is in
the (0 PSI) posion.
Do not exceed recommended pressure on pump or sprayer, as it may cause hoses to burst and will shorten pump life.
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 lling with water to test.
Tesng the Sprayer
NOTE:
It is important to test this sprayer for leakage and proper spray paerns with plain water before chemical applicaon is aempted.
This will also give you the opportunity to familiarize yourself with the operaon of the sprayer, without the possibility of losing any
expensive chemicals.
Operang the Sprayer
1. Adjust the pressure by clamping the relief valve adjustment
lever down.
2. With the bale hook in the number one posion, the pressure
is about 100 psi; number two is about 250 psi; number three
is about 450 psi; number four is about 550 psi.
3. Pressure can be adjusted by using the ne adjustment knob,
located on top of the relief valve spring. The ne adjustment
knob can be rotated when the relief valve lever is in the up
posion.
4. Pressure is released by liing up the relief valve adjustment
lever with the bale hook on the number one posion.
**NOTICE**
1. Be sure all guards covering exposed moving parts, such as shas, are in place at all mes. DO NOT USE the sprayer unless all
guards are in place.
2. Test the sprayer with plain water before adding chemicals to the tank.
3. DO NOT EXCEED recommended speed, pressure and temperature for the sprayer and pump.
4. High pressure spray can cause serious bodily injury. Handle with care. Grasp gun rmly before starng to spray. During spray-
ing operaon, hold gun rmly.
5. DO NOT put hands or ngers in front of the gun or point the gun at your body or anyone else.
6. Before working on, servicing or making adjustments to equipment, disengage power, shut o engine, make sure all moving
parts have stopped and all pressure in the system is relieved.
7. Perform periodic cleaning, maintenance and inspecon of ngs and hoses for operator safety. Replace any ngs or hoses
that are shown to have defects.
8. DO NOT use sprayer for pumping water or other liquid for human or animal consumpon.
9. If equipment is used in freezing or near freezing condions, protect pump and plumbing on sprayer from freezing. Drain liquid
from system and add anfreeze (containing a rust inhibitor).
10. Only ll the tank with what you’re going to spray in a day, never leave chemicals sit in tank.
WARNING: Never pump corrosive or abrasive liquids as these will cause rapid wear or deterioraon of body, rotor, sha and seals
in the pump. Never run pump dry. Some chemicals will damage the pump valves if allowed to soak untreated for a length of me!
ALWAYS ush the pump as instructed aer each use. DO NOT allow chemicals to sit in the pump for extended mes of idleness.
Failure to follow this warning will void the product warranty.

Maintenance During/Aer Spraying
Periodically close the sucon line valve and check the line strainer and clean the screen. Stop the engine and shut o the valve
near the strainer. Remove the bowl and screen porons of the strainer and wash them free from all impuries. You may also drain
the tank by uncoupling the sucon line near the strainer. Open the valve and pour the contents into another container. Read the
chemical label for disposal instrucons.
Proper care and maintenance will keep your pump wear at a minimum and will keep it running smoothly and trouble-free for a
long me and prolong the life of your sprayer.
Change the engine oil per the engine manufacturer’s specicaons. Oil changes in the pump should be done aer each 200 hours
of use or at least once a season. To ll the pump with oil, pour oil slowly into the sight tube while slowly turning the pump sha.
Turning the pump sha purges all of the air from the crankcase. Use SAE 30 motor oil.
Refer to the pump and motor owners manuals for their respecve replacement parts and service recommendaons.
Aer use, ll the sprayer tank part way with water. Start the sprayer and allow the water to pump through the enre plumbing
system and nozzles. Drain and then rell half full with plain water, add the recommended amount of good quality tank cleaner
such as FIMCO Sprayer Tank Neutralizer and Cleaner. (If no tank cleaner is available, you may substute dish soap for this step,
about 1-2 oz. per gallon). But a neutralizer/cleaner should be used to thoroughly clean the system. Turn sprayer on and circulate
through system for 15 minutes and then spray out through handgun nozzle (and boom nozzles if applicable). Rell tank half way
with clean water and repeat. Follow the chemical manufacturer’s disposal instrucons of all wash or rinsing water.
For the boom (if applicable) remove the ps and screens from the nozzle assemblies. Wash these items out thoroughly. Blow the
orice clean and dry. If the orice remains clogged, clean it with a ne bristle (NOT WIRE) brush or with a toothpick. Do not
damage the orice. Water rinse and dry the ps before storing.
Follow the chemical manufacturer’s instrucons on disposal of all waste water from the sprayer.
Tank Care & Maintenance
Warning: Do not use the tank as a container for fuel oils, kerosene, gasoline or any other petroleum disllate product. All
polyolens are soened and permeated by such products. In an enclosed area the vaporizaon of these materials from the outside
surface of the tank could create a dangerous condion.
The tank should not be used as a pressure vessel nor used with chemicals or soluons having a weight of more than 12 pounds per
gallon.
Store the tank in a dry dark place when not in use. Storage out of sunlight will prolong the life of the tank.
Do not drop, strike or kick the tank, especially at low temperatures. Tanks become brile and are subject to cracking at
temperatures below 20° Fahrenheit.
Always ush the tank with water and a neutralizing agent at the end of each use, to prevent contaminaon of soluons.
Winter Storage
Prepare the sprayer for end-of-season storage by draining all water out of your sprayer, paying special aenon 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 soluon of automove anfreeze (containing a rust inhibitor)
through the enre plumbing system. This anfreeze soluon should remain in the plumbing system during the winter months.
When spring me comes and you are preparing your sprayer for the spray season, rinse the enre plumbing system out, clearing
the lines of the anfreeze soluon. Dispose of anfreeze and ush water properly.
Proper care and maintenance will prolong the life of your sprayer.
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 anfreeze through the system will displace the water and help prevent this damage.
