Weight (dry) 13 kg 18 kg 27kg 31kg
To calculate the weight of the sprayer add 1kg to the dry weight for every litre of water. E.g. The laden weight of the sprayer with
16L of water is 21kg
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 red wire is positive and the black 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 so as to minimise 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
as to cause an obstruction.

SPRAY GUN
A variety of spray guns are fitted and matched to the pump for optimal spraying
•The PA spray gun is fitted with 500mm extension and fan nozzle is a
professional choice and popular for spot spraying.
•The Triam 49 Spray Gun is ideal for atomised spraying and is only fitted
to spray units with pumps capable of more than 150psi
•The Spotjet spray Gun is for general duties spraying suited, with 600mm
extension and adjustable nozzle

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.
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.
Maintenance
Dispose of unused chemical and water used for rinsing in a manner that will not endanger
people animals or the environment.
After spraying rinse out the spray lines and tank with clean water. 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 may crystallize or form solids and block in pump, spray lines, nozzle 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 sprayer.
