and replace the drum lid. Check the image in Figure 1 below to identify each piece of equipment.
NOTE: HIGH PRESSURE TUBING MUST BE USED OR WARRANTY WILL BE VOID.
2. Run the end of the tubing from the intake
filter through the lid and PVC circle and
connect it to the pump suction inlet
elbow. (Figure 2)
3. Insert the check valve assembly through
the lid and PVC circle and connect it to
the pressure regulating valve. (Figure 2)
4. Place the lid on the drum making sure the
black float with nylon line passes through
the cut-out with all lines hanging freely.
5. Remove the pressure gauge from its box
and screw it into the top of the brass
cross assembly. (Figure 3)

3. Push the tubing firmly into the side of the spray nozzle tee (Figure 5). Pull gently to
confirm you have secure connections then push back in. If leakage occurs, remove
tubing by pushing on the green circle, pushing the tubing in, pulling the tubing out and
then releasing the green circle. Trim ¼ inch o the tubing before reinserting.
4. Using the plastic fasteners (Figure 5), or zip ties, install the tubing and spray nozzles
above the center of each stall and six (6) feet inside each exterior door. Do not install
above fifteen (15) feet from the floor. Use cable wire if necessary. Make sweeping turns
with the tubing around corners to avoid kinking.
5. After all the spray nozzles have been installed, run the beginning of the tubing from the
discharge elbow on the brass cross assembly (Figure 3). Tighten with a wrench. Leave
four (4) feet of slack in the line to allow for easy shifting of the lid to add insecticide or
to remove the lid for drum cleaning.
6. At the end of the tubing attach
a bleed valve to shut o the line
and hold pressure (Figure 6). It is
recommended to end the tubing at
the drum for bleeding liquid and air
from the line into the drum.

7. Remove the lid from the top of the drum and fill the drum about halfway with clean
water. Do NOT put insecticide in the drum until testing is completed. Replace the lid
on top of the drum. Do not restrict the float line and tubing.
8. Connect the electrical cord from the timer to an 110V outlet. Open the bleed valve
and hold inside the drum. Open the timer cover and start the system by flipping the
toggle switch to “TEST.” Allow the system to operate for several minutes to be certain
the pump is priming and there are no leaks at the various tubing connections. Once a
steady stream is flowing into the drum, close the bleed valve.
9. Turn the pressure regulating valve clockwise until the pressure gauge reads between
190psi and 210psi (Figure 7), and all nozzles are spraying a consistently fine mist.
Check again for leaks at the tubing connections.
10. After confirming the spray nozzles are operating correctly with no leads at the tubing
connections, flip the toggle switch to “OFF” and disconnect the electrical cord from
the outlet. Close the timer lid.
11. Carefully lift the drum lid and shift it to the side of the drum top. Add the entire
contents of the insecticide concentrate to the drum and finish filling with clean water
to four (4) inches from the top of the drum. Replace the lid on the drum (being
careful not to pinch the float line or kink the tubing) and reconnect the electrical
cord. Secure the lid in place with the metal ring. The latch on the metal ring can be
locked in place for security to keep the drum from being opened.
12. Open the timer cover. Open the bleed valve and hold in the drum. Flip the toggle
switch to “TEST” to fill the nozzle line with insecticide. Close the bleed valve once
insecticide is flowing through it. Adjust the pressure between 190psi and 210psi, if
necessary.
NOTE: The system works best between
190psi-210psi and must not be set
below 185psi, or over 215psi.
DO NOT OPERATE SYSTEM WITH THE
PRESSURE REGULATING VALVE
CLOSED.

13. Rotate outer ring of clock dial clockwise to set the time of day (Figure 8).
14. Select the pin for the time of day you want the system to operate by using a ballpoint
pen or similar object to move the switch outward into the set position (Figure 8).
Repeat the above for each time you want the system to spray. Spray times should be
set from early morning to
dusk. Your unit is shipped
with the timer set for
six firing times: 6:00am,
8:00am, noon, 4:00pm,
6:00pm and 8:00pm.
15. Set the run duration selector
switch to the length of spray
time desired. When you
are first starting the system,
we recommend setting the
timer to operate six (6)
times a day for 45 seconds
each time. When the area is
under satisfactory control (10 to 14 days), cut back on the number of spray cycles and
duration time to maintain control.
NOTE: System will run continuously when the toggle switch is in the “TEST” position.
System will not operate when the switch is in the “OFF” position the “EXTRA RUN”
button can be used at any time to test the system, or for extra spraying.
CLOSE THE TIMER LID WHEN FINISHED.
PLACE CLOTH COVER OVER THE SYSTEM TOP.

Servicing Your System
When the liquid is low and the drum needs to be refilled, the Float Switch
will automatically shut the system o and the red light will turn on.
To service and refill the system, use the following procedure:
1. Unplug the system from the power supply.
2. Lift the lid and set it to one side of the drum top. Normal refilling does not require
that you completely remove the lid from the drum; but if you do remove it, take care
to not crimp or damage the discharge tubing, intake tubing float line, or check valve
assembly.
3. Inspect the intake filter and clean, if necessary. We recommend changing the intake
filter annually and replacing every two (2) years.
4. Check the interior of the drum for residue or dirt. Flush and clean the drum before
adding water and concentrate. If the drum appears clean, just add concentrate and
water.
NOTE: If flushing out the drum; consider collecting the insecticide at the bottom of the
drum prior to cleaning and spreading it on your manure pile.
5. Fill the drum about halfway with water. Put the lid back on the drum (being careful to
not pinch the float line or tubing) Plug the system to the power source.
6. Open the bleed valve and hold in the drum. Flip the toggle switch to “TEST.” Once
the liquid is flowing through the bleed valve, close it. Check the pressure gauge is be-
tween 190psi and 210psi. Use the pressure regulating valve to adjust, if needed.
7. Inspect all spray nozzles and confirm spray is a fine, even mist. If nozzles pail to spray
properly, se the Troubleshooting Guide.
8. With the nozzles spraying as desired; flip the toggle switch to “OFF.” Slide the lid to
the side of the drum top. Add insecticide concentrate and continue filling the drum
with clean water to four (4) inches from the top. Put the lid back on the drum, making
sure not to pinch the float line, and latch in place.
9. Reset the timer clock, if needed. Flip the toggle switch to the “AUTO” position.

Winterizing Your SprayMaster® System
1. Disconnect the nozzle tubing at the discharge elbow (liquid will pour from the tubing)
and open the bleed valve at the other end. We recommend having both ends of the
tubing empty into the drum. Be sure the brass nut and ferrule on the nozzle tubing
stay in place.
2. Lift or move the lid to raise the intake filter out of the liquid. Flip the toggle switch to
“TEST” and let run for fifteen (15) seconds to purge any liquid in the equipment (liquid
will spray from the discharge elbow). Flip the toggle switch to “OFF.” Unplug the sys-
tem from the power source.
3. Allow the nozzle tubing to drain for sever
minutes to empty as much liquid as possi-
ble. Be sure the intake filter stays out of any
liquid remaining in the drum.
4. If the drum freezes during the winter,
you will need to stir any contents before
reusing.
Re-connecting the SprayMaster®
System after Winterizing
1. After stirring the contents of the barrel,
reattach the nozzle tubing to the system
by pushing the tubing into the discharge
elbow and tightening with the nut and
ferrule.
2. Follow steps 5 through 9 under “Servicing
Your SprayMaster® System” on page 12.

CONSUMPTION RATE FOR AUTOMATIC INSECT CONTROL SYSTEMS
The following is the formula for determining how many gallons of
diluted Pyranha® Insecticide your Automatic System will consume in one
week.
• Number of times system fires in a day multiplied by
Number of days in a week (7) multiplied by
• Number of spray nozzles on your system.
• Divided by 128 oz. gives you the number of gallons of liquid used each week.
• (A 45 second cycle dispenses 1 ounce of insecticide per spray nozzle.)

2. Fill your system with water and your preferred Pyranha®Concentrate.
3. Check float line to make sure it is not being pulled or is stuck on something.
System runs but not
pumping fluid.
1. The tank is empty.
2. The intake filter is clogged.
3. Pump needs to be primed.
1. Fill your system with water and your preferred Pyranha® Concentrate.
2. Remove filter and rinse it clean or replace with a new one.
3.
A) Remove nozzle tubing from discharge elbow and hit the “Extra Run” button. If fluid shoots out of
the discharge elbow, reattach the nozzle tubing and open the bleed valve until liquid comes out and
then close the valve.
B) Remove nozzle tubing from discharge elbow, remove the system from the drum and twist o the
intake filter form the brass fitting. Take a water hose and with low pressure, hold it up to the brass
fitting. With your other hand press the “Extra Run” button. Water should spray out of the discharge
elbow. Reassemble the system and run.
If options A or B do not work, call or visit pyranhainc.com for a new pump. (007PPH)
Not all nozzles are spraying
or very little spray coming
out of tips.
1. System not building enough
pressure.
2. Spray tip filters are clogged.
3. Intake filter is clogged and not
allowing enough fluid through.
1. Turn Pressure Regulating Valve clockwise until the pressure gauge is between 190psi - 210psi.
2. Purchase new tips from your local authorized dealer.
3. Clean or replace the intake filter. (006IF)

5. 30 gallon concentrate refill in 55
gallon drum.
1. Pressure should be between 190psi and 210psi. Increase the pressure by turning the pressure
regulating valve clockwise until pressure is in proper range. DO NOT TURN VALVE COMPLETELY
CLOSED.
2. Confirm clock has the correct time. Spray times may need to be adjusted to increase the number
of spraying times and duration of sprays. We recommend six (6) times a day for 45 seconds to obtain
control (about 10 – 14 days), then the duration time can be reduced to maintain control.
3. Clean outside of spray tip with a damp cloth or steel wool. If this does not work, see below.
4. If pressure drops to zero, replace the check valve (007CV25). If the check valve isn’t holding
pressure this can cause air in the lines and delay spraying of the tips.
5. Check 2.5 gallon bottle to see if it’s for a 30 gallon system or 55 gallon system.
