XT-3 OWNER’S MANUAL
Overview of the ESS Model XT-3 Air-Assisted
Electrostatic Sprayer
Air-assisted electrostatic sprayers produce electrically charged spray
drops that are carried to the plant canopy or onto the target in a low
pressure, gentle, air stream. The heart of the XT-3 Sprayer is the pat-
ented MaxCharge™ nozzle.
Air and liquid enter separately at the rear of the nozzle. Just before
leaving the nozzle, the air hits the liquid stream to make many thou-
sands of tiny spray droplets that pass through the charging ring. An
electrical charge is applied to the spray droplets by the charging ring.
Then the charged spray droplets are blown out of the nozzle and
move into the plant canopy where they are attracted to plant material
by electrostatic forces. The electrostatic charge induced by the Max-
Charge™ nozzle is strong enough to allow the droplets to move in any
direction to cover all plant surfaces, even defying gravity to coat the
underside of leaves and the back side of fruits, vegetables, and objects.
The result is uniform spray coverage on hidden surfaces that other
sprayers miss. Air-assisted electrostatic sprayers give more than twice
the deposition eciency of hydraulic sprayers and non-electrostatic
types of air-assisted sprayers. The grower benets in terms of signi-
cant reductions in application costs and optimized insect and disease
control, sanitization of beef or other coverage.
The MaxCharge™ nozzle is easy to clean and corrosion-proof. The inte-
rior ceramic outlet resists wear three times better than stainless steel
outlets. These features combine to give the best spray coverage on the
market. This quality product is virtually maintenance-free, and assures
you of savings in the application of chemical.
The comparison of air-assisted electrostatic spraying versus conven-
tional spraying is dramatic.
Electrostatically charged droplets are
attracted to plant surfaces.
Where Does the Spray Go?
The University of California completed a series of tests to investi-
gate what happens to spray liquid after it leaves the nozzle.
Conclusion: ESS technology places over 4 times the amount of
spray onto the plant surface using ½ the amount of chemicals.
Furthermore, they also reported that ESS sprayers send ⁄ less
chemicals to the ground and into the air. Less chemical used
overall, less waste and less drift than conventional equipment.
Imagine the environmental benet!
A picture worth a thousand words…
In this test, uorescent dye has been
sprayed on two round knobs. The left
knob was sprayed with the electrostatic
system ON; the right knob was sprayed
with the same sprayer, but with the elec-
trostatic system OFF. Note how even the
coverage is on the electrostatic knob.

About the low-voltage system of the MaxCharge Spray gun
For operator safety, the power supply for the MaxCharge spray gun is entirely separate from the power
supply for the sprayer’s compressor. The .spray gun is powered by 9-volt batteries in the handle of the XT-3
sprayer. This low-voltage charge is not enough to harm people. Some people report feeling a “tingle” or a
slight stinging sensation when the spray from the spray gun falls on their bare skin.

Spray gun
The spray gun is held by the operator during spraying. Activation
of the trigger causes liquid to spray. The Spray gun has the follow-
ing user-serviceable parts: the air lter, the liquid lter assembly, the
nozzle assembly, and the batteries. Except for the batteries, which are
accessed by removing the battery cover, nothing inside the Spray gun
shell is user-serviceable. Do not open the spray gun shell; doing so
will void the warranty on the spray gun.

Air filter
Note: XT-3 units manufactured after March 2009 do not require an
air lter on the spray gun air leader.
For XT-3 units manufactured before March 2009, there is an in-line air
lter located outside the base of the spray gun in the air hose. It lters
dirt out of the air lines. It’s easy to tell the Air Filter from the Liquid
Filter Assembly because the Air Filter is in a silver-colored casing.
Replacement parts for the air lter assembly are available as a kit.
The kit includes a lter, and large and small o-rings.
Order using ESS part number 231.
To clean the air lter:
1. Unthread the casing from the cap using a ¾”wrench on
both parts. Be careful not to lose the spring or the air lter
inside of the casing.
2. Check inside each part for debris. Clean any dirt out with
compressed air or warm, soapy water.
3. Reassemble the air lter, making sure to put it together as
shown above.

XT-3 OWNER’S MANUAL
Liquid filter assembly
The liquid lter assembly is located outside the base of the spray gun.
It is composed of these parts: a ⁄” NPT body (Item 12), a strainer
(Item 11), a ow disk (Item 10), an adapter (Item 9) and a cap (Item 8).
The strainer is the active ltering element in the volume of liquid that
ows through the line. There is an extra ow disk and an extra strainer
in the XT-3 Parts Kit in case the originals are lost or damaged.
To disassemble, clean and reassemble the liquid
lter (see labeled drawing above):
1. Using a ⁄” wrench on the cap (Item 8) and an ⁄” wrench
on the ⁄” NPT body (Item 12), unthread them.
Note: When you disassemble the liquid lter assembly, notice
how the parts t together in order to reassemble them
properly. Be careful not to lose any parts, particularly the
ow disk (Item 10) which is inside the cap. The sprayer will not
function correctly without the ow disk.
2. Remove the strainer (Item 11) from the ⁄”NPT body.
3. If the ⁄” NPT body contains residue, clean it with
compressed air or clean water.
4. Clean the strainer with compressed air or clean water. If
residue still remains in the 50 mesh screen, disassemble the
strainer. Unscrew the top brass part from the bottom brass
part. The 50 mesh screen slides o the brass body and can
be cleaned with compressed air or clean water. If residue
still remains, soak the 50 mesh screen and screw the top
brass part back on the lower brass part.
5. If the ow disk is still in the cap, remove it. Check the
aperture of the ow disk for blockage. If there is any, clean
it with compressed air or water. Replace the ow disk so
that the numbers on the disk face the strainer.
6. Replace the strainer in the ⁄” NPT body.
7. Rethread the ⁄” NPT body and the cap.

XT-3 OWNER’S MANUAL
Nozzle assembly
It is very important to follow all the maintenance
and cleaning procedures to ensure that the electro-
static sprayer will function properly. Although the
MaxCharge™ nozzle will outperform all electrostatic
spray technology on the market, regular cleaning
will ensure peak operating performance.
The nozzle assembly is located at the end of the
spray gun wand. It is composed of a nozzle body,
internal o-ring, Teon ring, cover, external o-ring,
and a hood (see labeled drawing at right). To access
the nozzle components, just unscrew the nozzle
cover by hand.
Cleaning the spray gun
Always rinse the spray gun out with clean soapy
water after every day’s spraying. That is the most
important thing you can do to ensure trouble free
operation of your XT-3 sprayer. By cleaning after
each and every working day you will avoid the long-
term chemical buildup that eventually causes clogs,
poor spray patterns and shortens nozzle life.
Establish maintenance intervals to disassemble and
clean the nozzle. Your nozzle maintenance schedule
will vary depending on the types of chemicals used
and adherence to pre- and post-spray checks. In
general it is sucient to thoroughly clean nozzles
every 50 hours. If heavy loads of wettable powers
are used, the cleaning schedule should be sooner.
To clean the nozzle assembly
1. Slide the hood over the nozzle cover.
2. Unscrew the cover from the nozzle base and remove the Teon ring. Clean any debris from
around the nozzle tip.
Note: There is a small o-ring in the nozzle around the base of the tip – take care that it doesn’t fall
o. If it does, clean it and press back into place. Also, take care not to damage the nozzle tip when
the cover is removed.
3. Soak the ring, cover, and hood in a mild detergent solution. Use a small brush (soft or mild
bristle) to clean the inside of the cover and the hole through it. Also, be sure to clean the hood.
It is important to clean inside the hood and the two cavities. Rinse thoroughly.
4. Scrub the nozzle base with the detergent solution using a soft bristle brush. Clean the ceramic
outlet. Be sure to thoroughly clean the base cavity and take care not to damage the nozzle tip.
Rinse and make sure the small o-ring is in place.
5. Reassemble nozzle by placing the Teon ring on the base and screwing the cover on hand
tight. Next, slide the hood over the nozzle and seat it securely against the external o-ring.
Wipe clean the exterior of all hoses and ttings connected to the nozzle.
The electrode cover should be hand tight. Never use pliers or other tools to tighten it. The insulating
ring should be loose.
13
XT-3 OWNER’S MANUAL
You may wish to purchase Nutrasol Tank Cleaner from ESS (S/N# 1566),
which cuts hard water scale and chemical deposits from the electrode
and internal component of the spray gun. The regular use of Nutra-Sol
will keep your equipment operating at peak performance. The recom-
mended mixing ratio is 4 ounces in 12.5 gallons of water (113 grams in
47 liters of water).
Pre-Spray Check
I. Inspect Nozzles
Check nozzle cover to make sure it is on hand tight (do not
over tighten or use a wrench). Make sure the hood is seated
rmly to the nozzle base and against the external o-ring.
II. Preparing the Tank Mix
If you will be spraying wettable powders it is a good idea to
use a compatibility agent with the water and tank mix.
Compatibility agents are chemicals mixed with the water
that make mixing easier and keep heavy concentrations
uniformly in suspension. Some brand name additives are
COMPLIMENT™, UNITE®, and BALANCE™. Check with your
local chemical supplier for others that are available.
Post-Spray Check
After each spray it is essential that hoses and spray gun be
ushed with clean soapy water. This will help prevent
chemical build-up that can clog lines and nozzles. Also, it is
recommended that the nozzle exterior (black portion of
nozzle) and nozzle hoods be cleaned with soapy water at this
time.
ESS recommends the use of
NUTRA-SOL cleaner which
can be purchased from ESS.

XT-3 OWNER’S MANUAL
The air & liquid delivery system
Air compressor
The air compressor produces compressed air which atomizes and
propels the liquid. It plugs into a 110 volt electrical source. Use the
XT-3™ with a three-pronged extension cord of no more than 50 feet
and rated for no less than 15 amp service. The On/O switch is on the
side of the air compressor.
Tank pressure regulator
There is a pressure regulator to control air pressure to the tank. It corre-
sponds with the pressure gauge on the left side of the front panel. This
regulator is operated by pulling out the dial and turning it clockwise
to increase pressure or counter-clockwise to decrease pressure in the
tank. This regulator controls the air pressure going to the tank not to
the spraygun. Generally tank pressure should be 15 psi. There are two
purposes for the tank pressurization: rst, to push the liquid solution
from the tank to the spraygun, and second, to agitate the liquid in the
tank, so that the chemical stays in solution. Once the desired pressure
is achieved, push in the dial to lock it in place. Some chemicals have
a tendency to foam. If you see any foam coming out the pressure
release tank value, either reduce the tank air pressure or add an “anti-
foaming” agent to the solution. In some occasions, it may be necessary
to lower tank pressure to avoid foaming, to even as low as 5 psi. When
adjusting tank pressure, one should dial pressure up to desired setting,
rather than down. Two air lines run from the tank pressure regulator.
One line runs to the tank pressure gauge on the front panel. The other
runs to the inlet quick connect on the tank.
The XT-3 is also available with
a 220-volt compressor.
