General Guidelines
• The operator should be a responsible adult. Do not allow persons
to operate this liquid applicator until they have displayed a
thorough understanding of applicator safety precautions and
operational use!
• The best defense against accidents is a careful and responsible
operator.
• A chemical warning decal and an owner’s manual warning decal
are located on the applicator’s tank. Be aware of their location. See
Figure 1 and Figure 2.
• Always replace any warning decals that aren’t legible or are missing.
• When transporting the sprayer on public roads, always follow
state and local regulations regarding safety and transportation
requirements.
• If there is any portion of this manual that you do not fully

Safety Precautions
Before Operation
Figure 1: Chemical Warning Decal(# DEMT3980)
Figure 2: Owner's Manual Decal(# DE39)
Every year many unnecessary accidents occur due to improper equipment handling and a disregard for safety precautions. You, the
operator, can avoid accidents by observing the precautions in this section.

5
During Operation
• Always be aware of bystanders, particularly children!
• Keep hands and body parts clear of all moving parts!
• Never leave running equipment unattended.
• Never leave running equipment, including the liquid applicator, unattended!
• Remember that accidents can even happen to seasoned operators. Always take your time and follow all safety instructions.
Pump Safety Precautions
Safety Precautions
• Never pump ammable, explosive, petroleum-based, or any other non-compatible products such as gasoline, fuel oil,
kerosene, etc. Such practices will void the manufacturer’s warranty.
• DO NOT allow the pump to get wet or to be exposed to the elements. Allowing the pump to get wet or to be exposed to the
elements voids the manufacturer’s warranty.
• Note: The pump may be run dry for limited periods without resulting in damage.
• Always disconnect the power to the pump when working on the pump. Failure to do this could result in electrical shock.
Following Operation
• After operation, store the sprayer away from human and livestock activity.
• Do not permit children to play on or around the sprayer.

Installing the Sprayer
1. Select a mounting surface for the base unit. Mount the tank on the truck in a location that can withstand the weight of the base
unit with a full tank (approximately 250 lbs).
2. The location of the tank should not cause interference with the operation of the equipment it is mounted on.
3. For optimal stability, mount the liquid applicator with bolts using the six threaded holes in the bottom of the tank.

Base Unit Box Contains:
• NOTE: Measure the distance between the bottom mounting holes because tank measurements can vary up to 1/4”.
• Attach the tank to the desired mounting surface using 5/16-18 bolts.
• IMPORTANT: Make sure that the bolts do not extend more than 1/2”into the tank. Use the shortest bolts possible and spacing
washers as needed to ensure that excess bolt length does not puncture the tank. Do not over-tighten bolts.

Installing the Sprayer
Filter Unit Assembly and Installation (DS106)
1. Assemble components from lter unit package as shown on
page 12. Use Teon tape and/or thread sealant paste to seal
threaded connections. Do not over-tighten plastic ttings or
damage will occur.
2. Secure the lter unit to a solid surface using the supplied
loom clamps and self-drilling hex head screws.
3. Connect the pump outlet to the lter assembly inlet with
the required length of 1/2” hose and secure the hose with
hose clamps. Reference plumbing schematic on page 14.
Trailer/Drive Axle Nozzle Assembly and Mounting (DS101)
1. Assemble components from nozzle unit package as
shown on page 8. Use Teon tape and/or thread sealant
paste to seal threaded connections. Do not over-tighten
plastic ttings or damage will occur.
2. Nozzle should be approximately 13” from the tire and
centered between the dual wheels or centered on the
single tire to ensure complete and thorough coverage of
the tire(s). Use the supplied universal mounting bracket
to ensure that you can achieve the desired coverage.

Installing the Sprayer
Steering Axle Nozzle Assembly and Installation (DS102)
1. Assemble components from nozzle unit package. Use Teon tape and/or thread sealant paste to seal threaded connections
as shown on page 9. Do not over-tighten plastic ttings or damage will occur.
2. Nozzle should be approximately 8” from the tire and centered on the tire to ensure complete coverage.

20
Installing the Sprayer
Diaphragm Check Valve Assembly and Installation
1. Assemble components from nozzle unit package as shown on page 10. Use teon tape and/or thread sealant paste to seal
threaded connections. Do not over-tighten plastic ttings or damage will occur.
2. Secure the check valve unit near the axle with the supplied universal mounting bracket (reference 4, page 10).
3. Connect the 3/8” hose to the “T” (reference 2, page 10) on the check valve unit and route hose to the nozzle unit.
4. Connect ½” hose to the check valve inlet and route hose from the check valve to the outlet of the lter assembly.
5. Use one check valve assembly for every axle. Connect the 1/2” hoses from all check valve assemblies together using 1/2” tees
(reference plumbing schematic, page 14)
Bulkhead/Quick Disconnect Assembly and Installation
1. Drill a 1-3/16” hole in the desired location for the quick disconnect coupler. It should be located near the air and/or electrical
connections between the tractor and trailer.
2. Place the bulkhead adapter tting through the hole and secure with the external locking washer and nut.
3. Assemble the remaining components from the quick disconnect assembly package onto the bulkhead as shown on page 11.
4. Connect ½” supply hose from lter assembly to the xed end of the quick disconnect and the tractor supply hose to the plug
end of the quick disconnect (reference plumbing schematic, page 14).
Spray Gun Assembly and Installation
1. Cut the ½” supply line between the pump outlet and the lter assembly. Install the adapter “T” (reference 5, page 13) into the
supply line and secure with hose clamps (reference plumbing schematic, page 14).
2. Connect the 3/8”spray hose to the adapter“T” (reference 4, page 13) and to the swivel spray gun adapter (reference 3, page 13)
and secure the hose with a hose clamp (reference 2, page 13).
3. Thread the swivel adapter (reference 3, page 13) onto the spray gun inlet.
4. Coil the 3/8”spray hose and securely fasten to the truck with bungee straps (not included) or alternative method.
