Features
Designed for use with some UTV’s, Compact Tractors and Road Vehicles:
Over the past few years the UTV market has seen tremendous growth. Many horse arena owners and property owners
are now using UTVs instead of, or as a supplement to, a tractor. This causes a problem when it comes to water trailers
as most water trailers are simply too large and heavy for a UTV or Compact Tractor to operate. To meet this growing
need for water trailers that may be used with some UTVs, Compact Tractors and road vehicles. We recommend the
Premier Equestrian 500-gallon water wagon.
Brass Spray Nozzle:
The brass spray nozzle produces a spray pattern that covers a swath from 6' to 20' wide each. The spray pattern is a flat
110° fan (at 40 psi). Increasing the motor speed will increase the pressure and therefore the spray width as the water
will be projected further, out the back, before landing on the ground. Water is distributed evenly to eliminate inconsis-
tent application of water that can create a dangerous "wet" base material. Even application of water is essential to con-
sistent arena footing.
On/Off Flow Control (from the seat of UTV or Tractor):
The ratcheting valve and attached rope enable the operator to turn the flow of water on and off without leaving the
seat of the tow vehicle. Ideal for shutting off water flow while traveling over areas that have been watered, or do not
need to be watered. This conserves water and eliminates over or inconsistent watering that can be detrimental in cer-
tain applications. In a horse arena this feature is a necessity! Rope is included.
Powerful Poly Banjo Pump:
The pump is a high quality and long-lasting Banjo brand pump. Banjo is the industry lead in pumps and valves. This is a
corrosive resistant 1.5" polypropylene self-priming centrifugal pump. Priming is now made easier by the incorporation
of two new prime and drain plugs for quick priming and draining before and after use. The pump and engine are sep-
arated from each other by a 1/2" and a special slinger/engine seal protects the engine from any corrosive fluids.
Banjo Brand Plumbing:
The plumbing system is designed with simplicity in mind. The valves are top quality "Banjo" brand name so you can
rest assured the plumbing system will provide long service life. The pipes and fittings are galvanized steel and the
hoses are non-collapsible and corrugated. When the trailer is loaded with the optional spray hose and optional quick
fill system the trailer has 4 total 1.5" valves.
1- Spray Nozzle Ratchet Valve - Located at the top of the system this valve turns the rear spray nozzles on and off.
2- Spray Hose Valve - When installed this valve turns on and off the spray hose.
3- Quick Fill Valve - When the optional quick fill hose is attached this valve directs the pump to either draw water
out of the tank or out of the external water source.
4- Pressure Release/Circulate Valve - This valve directs water back into the tank. This can be used to assist in
adjustment of the water pressure in the system. For example: Close this valve for maximum pressure and
maximum spray distance. Open this valve fully to cycle water back into the tank. Or partially open or close
this valve at varying intervals to either increase or decrease pressure in the system.
Powerful Briggs and Stratton Engine:
The Briggs & Stratton 550 Series engine utilizes Overhead Valve (OHV) technology. It features an automotive-style air
filter, cast iron cylinder sleeve, and dual ball bearings for longer life. With 5.50 Torque (ft-lbs, gross) and 127cc engine
displacement this engine creates is a significant amount of power. The Overhead Valve Design (OHV) runs cooler and
cleaner delivering more power, smoother operation, longer engine life, and improved fuel economy. The Dura-Lube™
Splash Lubrication System is a gear driven system that continuously supplies oil to all internal parts. The gas fuel tank is
2.0 Quart for long run time and the oil capacity is 20 oz.. The pump is separated from the engine by a 1/2" and a spe-
cial slinger/engine seal protects from any corrosive fluids.

Polyethylene Elliptical Tank (500 Gallon Compact):
The 500-gallon compact tank is easy to drain and wash out (if needed) after use due to the unique full drain elliptical
design. These tanks are rotationally molded for superior quality and are FDA approved for potable water usage. The
elliptical tank is designed to keep the water as near to the frame as possible to minimize the risk of becoming top
heavy. The white tank allows the user to see the fill line (in day light) and has measurements on the front and side in
both gallons and liters. The tanks are equipment with an 8' vented lib for easy top filling and cleaning. The tank is
secured to the frame and saddle with metal banding.
Full Drain System:
Unlike many competitors these tanks are able to be fully drained for cleaning and discharge of fluid. Most trailers force
the operator to crawl under the tank to release the drain. For some this even requires a wrench. This usually results in
the operator getting dirty and soaked. The water wagon has an easy access drain valve that can be opened and closed
while standing next to the front of the trailer. No more crawling or getting wet!
All Welded Steel Frame and Custom Tank Saddle:
The frame is fully welded tube steel and is custom engineered for the demands of the enormous weight of water. This
is not a stock trailer frame. This frame features extreme durability and long service life. No bolts here! The steel saddle
that mounts to the frame and secures the water tank is also custom designed. Only the highest quality steel, superior
craftsmanship and powder coating is acceptable.
Adjustable Hitch System (Ideal for UTV/Compact Tractor):
Quickly & easily connect to most any town vehicle with the adjustable hitch system. The hitch adjusts to properly line
up the tongue of the water trailer to a variety of hitch heights for ease of use with different size UTVs and compact trac-
tors. A 2,000 lbs. swivel crank jack is included to easily raise or lower the hitch to meet up with the hitch of the tow ve-
hicle. A pin hitch is standard and ideal for farm and ranch use. Additional hitch options are available upon request.
Optional Features
Quick Fill System (Optional):
The optional quick fill system makes it easy to draw water from a pond, creek or other water reservoir. This system will
fill 500 gallons in just a few minutes. The 25-foot-long 1.5" around "no- kink" suction hose easily stores on the included
carrying rack when this option is purchased. A pond debris filter is included. All connections are quick attach couplers
for ease of use. The tank may be top filled if this option is not purchased.
Spray Hose and Nozzle (Optional):
The optional 16-foot-long 1.5" around "no-kink" spray hose conveniently stores on the water trailers hose rack. The
spray nozzle enables "fan" or "stream" spray patterns for a variety of washing and watering applications. Easily spray
from seat of tow vehicle or from the ground. Perfect for spraying into arena corners, chutes, gates, and walls that the
trailers back spray nozzle cannot reach. Also great for filling remote livestock troughs, basic fire control, watering plants
and gardens, cleaning stalls/farm equipment/concrete & so much more! Actual hose and nozzle differ from picture.

Basic Operations
The 3-Way Pond Fill Valve:
The 3 way valve is used to pull water from the tank.
When the handle of the 3 way valve is in line with the
attached hose, the valve draws water from the tank, If
the handle is turned 90 degrees the valve is then set
for the optional Pond fill setup.
The Return Valve:
Always leave the return valve opened part way, this in-
cludes during use of optional fire hose. The return
valve can assist in controlling the pressure of the back
sprayer. Close the valve for more pressure, open for
less pressure out the back sprayer. For use with the
optional pond fill option this valve must be fully
opened.
The Ratcheting Valve
When the ears of the tab on the ratcheting valve are
in line with pipe, water will flow to the rear sprayer.
When the tab is not in line with the pipe coming from
the valve, the sprayer is off. The rope needs to be
pulled completely to fully turn the tab on top in order
to work. A partial pull will result in partial flow out of
the rear sprayers. To reset a partially open ratchet
valve, it pull the rope fully again to turn off flow and
then re-pull the rope fully to open again.
To ensure the sprayer is "on" make sure
the silver “eared” tab is fully in line with
the tubing.
To ensure that the sprayers are "off" make sure
the silver tab is not in line with the tubing. The
tab will run perpendicular to the tubing.

Drain Valves:
Turning this valve will drain the water out
of the tank. This is for use during periods
of cleaning, changing water sources, or
storage. This valve is located under the
water trailer.
Remove this plug from the Poly pump to drain out
water from the Poly pump before storage, changing
water sources, or cleaning. Replace the plug back
into the poly pump before using the Water Wagon.
To drain water from the piping and spray
boom line, remove this plug and allow
any excess water to drain out. Replace
plug before using the Water Wagon.
Primer Port:
Before using the Sprayers or the optional Pond fill
attachment the Poly pump may need to be
primed. To prime the system, remove the turn
screw on top of the Poly pump and fill with water
till full. Then replace the plug and resume opera-
tion. When using the optional Pond fill option, the
system may need primed more than once. Replace
plug prior to using the Water Wagon.

Basic Operations
Pond Fill Attachment (Optional):
The Pond fill attachment is connected to the male quick
cam coupler coming from the 3- way valve. When using
the optional pond fill system, you will need to shut of
the sprayers, using the ratcheting valve, and turn the 3
way valve so the handle is perpendicular to the fitting
and hose. Then open the return valve fully and close the
spray hose valve. Last make sure the vent cap is open
enough to allow the system to fill. Ensure the rubber
seal inside the female quick connect is firmly seated. If
the seal is not, the system may not be able to build up
enough pressure to move water to the tank.
Before using the Pond Fill option, secure the
end of the attachment in a 5-gallon bucket.
This is to help prevent debris from entering
the system and damaging the poly pump.
The Spray Hose Valve (for optional Spray Hose):
In the position shown in the adjacent picture, the water flow will
go to the spray-hose. If the valve handle is turned 90 degrees,
the valve is then closed. Remember to shut off the ratcheting
valve and crack open the tank valve prior to operation.
Adjust the pressure coming from the nozzle by twisting the
nozzle open or close. Remember to hold on tightly to the
hose when using the Spray hose for safety purposes. When
connecting the Spray nozzle hose to the male quick connect
fitting, ensure the rubber seal is firm seated in the female
quick connector. If the seal is not firmly seated, the hose
may lose pressure.

Basic Maintenance
Pump/Motor:
Refer to the manuals provided by the pump and motor manufacturer for maintenance instructions for the respective
components. This can be located in the document holder connected to the frame on the front of the Water Trailer.
Trailer:
The wheel bearings should be packed every 6 months or every 6,000 miles (whichever comes first). Lubrication may be
needed more often if the trailer is used in severe conditions. The wheel hubs should be checked regularly for excess
heat. Heat buildup is an indication that the bearings need greased and may soon fail.
Cleaning Your Tank for Potable Water Usage:
When cleaning out the tank first drain the system completely. Once the water has been drained out, refill the tank ¾ full
of non-contaminated water. Add 2 gallons of bleach. Drive tank around briefly to agitate the water around the tank.
Then let it soak for a few hours. Drive around again then dispose of water in compliance with local regulations. Rinse
out tank.
Winterizing Preparation:
The tank and fittings are susceptible to rupture in freezing conditions if water or other fluids are left in tank or plumb-
ing. To prevent freeze damage, the tank and plumbing should be drained. Remove all the drain plugs from the system
allowing the water to drain out including the pump drain plug, and then open valves to allow any of the excess water
to drain from the system. Then run 3-4 gallons of RV antifreeze through entire system - all hoses, nozzles, and pumps.
This will lubricate and prevent freezing and breakage. After circulating through pumps, open ratchet valve until the
pink antifreeze begins spraying out the back nozzles indicating that it has circulated and the entire system has been
properly lubricated. Leave about 2 gallons of the RV Antifreeze in the tank to store for winter.
NOTE:
Failure to properly Winterize/Freeze Protect your Water Trailer may result in damage to the Water Trailer components
that may not be covered by Manufacturer Warranty. Be sure to properly flush already winterized units before use.
