Specifications (cont.)

SETTING UP YOUR SPRAYER
Where using the PA Spray Gun Fit the extension lance to the handgun ensuring the nylon washer is
fitted between them. Fit the hose to the gun, using the hose clip supplied. Fit the white elbow fitting
to the other end of the hose and secure it with the hose clamp provided. Placing the hose in hot
water may assist at this stage. Fit the hose to the outlet side of the pump.
CONNECTING TO 12 VOLT DC SUPPLY
The Sprayer requires a 12 volt DC power source. A 3 metre loom is provided with the sprayer to
allow the sprayer to be connected to the 12 volt DC source available. The brown wire is positive
and the blue is negative. If you extend the wire use wire of the same guage or larger.
An on/off switch is fitted to the sprayer to allow the sprayer to be switched off from the 12 volt DC
source to prevent accidental drain of power. The switch also allows the pump to be shut down
when the tank is empty preventing overheating and damage to the pump.
•Important Note! Ensure that distance from the power supply to pump is minimised.
•Important Note! If extending power cables ensure a cable of equal or preferably greater current
capacity is used as over extended wires may overheat, blow fuses or damage the pump
•Important Note! Consult your vehicle instruction manual for correct electrical connection.
FITTING INSTRUCTIONS
Position the sprayer in a way that minimises contamination to the operator. With the pump away
from operator the risk of contamination due to hose failure can be minimised. It is recommended
that the sprayer be securely attached to the vehicle or trailer. Refer to manufacturer’s instructions
for appropriate load limits and fitting positions.
Note: 1 litre of water = 1 kg.
Never fill spray tank to a capacity beyond the specified overall weight limits set by your vehicle
manufacturer. Recesses in the top of the tank allow for tie down straps. When fitted these should
be firmly secured to approved attachment points on the ATV or other vehicle.
The sprayer should be mounted centrally and as near to the vehicle centre of gravity, as possible. It
should not protrude so it won’t cause an obstruction.
PUMP HOSE ANCHOR
We have supplied a Plastic Hose Tie to protect
the pump housing or hose fitting from possible
damage caused when the hose is pulled tight or
over stretched.
The hose can be tied against the switch bracket
as shown in the diagram below, do not over
tighten or kink the hose as this may restrict the
flow.
Installation

FILLING THE TANK AND ADDING CHEMICAL
Warning: Before using the sprayer for the first time or adding chemical check the operation and
function of the sprayer with clean water
•Check that the battery power supply is charged, the filters are clean, and all fittings, hoses and
gun connections are tight.
•Partly fill the sprayer before adding chemical. Always use clean water to prevent blockages and
ensure chemical function is not inhibited.
•Connect pump and ensure it primes correctly, holding the spray lance trigger on until it sprays
steadily.
•Check all pipes, hoses, hose clamps and connections for leaks or damage.
•Be sure to wear safety equipment as recommended by the chemical manufacturer before
adding chemical to the sprayer.
Once satisfied that all hoses and connections are working and there is no leaks or damage.
•Add the chemical according to the directions on the chemical container following all safety and
protective equipment recommendations.
•Do not use wet powders or chemicals that must remain suspended in solution and require
agitation. Only use chemicals or dyes that fully dissolve.
•Do not use a sprayer that has been used to spray herbicides for insecticides or nutrients unless
the sprayer has been thoroughly cleaned including neutralizing the herbicide according to the
manufactured directions if required.
To avoid chemical contamination, wear appropriate protective equipment including gloves
whenever maintenance is carried out; turn off the pump and depress the trigger on the spray lance
to dissipate any pressure. After spraying is completed, drain unused chemicals from the tank. Rinse
the tank with clean water then operate the sprayer with clean water in the tank to clean out the
pump, hose and spray lance. Do not leave chemicals in the tank as they nay crystallize or form solids
and block in pump, spray lines, nozzles or filters. A cleaning agent may be required to clean away
residues of spray dies or other solutions that leave deposits in the pump and lines.
The foot filter should be checked and cleaned if necessary, each time the tank is filled. Appropriate
protective equipment should be used whenever maintenance is carried out.
If heavy frosts are experienced, run the pump to make sure pump and spray lines are dry. This will
prevent water freezing in the pump or spray lines and damaging the sprayer.

Maintenance
Dispose of unused chemical and water used for rinsing in a manner that will not
endanger people, animals or the environment.
