Troubleshooting the Pump:
Motor does not run:
 Check for loose wiring connection(s).
 Make sure the 'ON/OFF' switch in the lead wire assembly is in
the 'ON' position. “I" is the 'ON' position and 'O' is the 'OFF'
position.
 Check for defective pressure switch. Make sure you are con-
nected to a good 12 volt power source. Make sure any on/off
switches are in the 'on' position.
 Remove the cap to the pressure switch. Pull both red wires off
of their terminals, and touch the two ends together. If your pump
runs when you do this, your pressure switch will need to be
replaced.
 Check the fuse.

Testing the Sprayer
NOTE: It is important that you test your sprayer for leakage and
proper spray patters with plain water before chemical applica-
tion is attempted. This will also give you the opportunity to
familiarize yourself with the operation of the sprayer.
Add water to the tank and drive to the starting place for spraying.
When you are ready to spray, position booms for spraying and turn
the boom valve to the “on” position. This will start solution spraying
from the tips of the boom. The pressure will decrease slightly when
the boom is spraying. Adjust the pressure by turning the “ON/OFF”
valve lever on the bypass line valve.
Read the operating instructions and initially begin spraying by closing
the ‘bypass’ valve and opening the boom line valve. This will enable
the air in the line to be eliminated (purged) through all the tips, while
building pressure. When everything tests all right (no leaks and good
pressure), add the desired chemicals to the mixture and water combi-
nation and start your spraying operation. Adjust the pressure and
spray as you did in the testing procedure.
Conditions of weather and terrain must be considered when setting
the sprayer. Do not spray on windy days. Protective clothing must be
worn in some cases
Be sure to read the chemical label(s) before application!
Operation
The pumping system draws solution from the tank, through the
strainer and to the pump. The pump forces the solution under pres-
sure to the handgun or boom nozzles.
Connect the lead wire to a fully charged 12 volt battery. You may use
either a stand-alone batter or the battery on your towing vehicle. The
lead wire has an On/Off switch to activate the pump. “-” is on and “O”
is off.
Fill the tank part way with water and then add the desired amount of
chemical to be sprayed. Finish filling tank to proper level. Turn the
pump on and by depressing the “-” side of the rocker switch. The
pump is equipped with a pressure switch that is pre-set at the factory
to shut the pump off when all discharges are closed.
The pump will turn back on when one of the following actions occurs:
the handgun lever is squeezed to spray the handgun, or the boom
valve is opened to broadcast spray with the boom, or the bypass
valve is opened to re-circulate solution back into the tank.
When spraying with either the boom or the handgun, pressure may
be reduced by slowly opening the bypass valve until desired pres-
sure is achieved. Opening the valve decreases pressure, closing the
valve increases pressure. When spraying with the boom, the proper
method to set the pressure is to open the boom valve completely and
if a lower pressure is desired, then slowly open the bypass valve until
that pressure is obtained.
For the safest and most efficient chemical application, you will need
to calibrate your sprayer using the tip and speed charts. Once you
have determined the proper speed and pressure settings, you will
need to consult your chemical label for the amount of chemical to be
added to the tank. Read the entire label. Use only according to label
directions.
The nozzles on the boom will spray an 140 inch wide swath. Check
the nozzle pattern by spraying water on a concrete surface.
Calibration
Chemical labels may show application rates in gallons per acre, gal-
lons per 1000 square feet or gallons per 100 square feet. You will
note that the tip chart shows 2 of these rating systems.
Once you know how much you are going to spray, then determine
(from the tip chart) the spraying pressure (PSI), and the spraying
speed (MPH).
Determining the proper speed of the pulling vehicle can be done by
marking off 100, 200 & 300 feet. The speed chart indicates the num-
ber of seconds it takes to travel the distances. Set the throttle and
with a running start, travel the distances. Adjust the throttle until you
travel the distances in the number of seconds indicated by the speed
chart. Once you have reached the throttle setting needed, mark the
throttle location so you can stop and go again, returning to the same
speed.
Add water and proper amount of chemical to the tank and drive to the
starting place for spraying.
Using the Boom Nozzles
Four things must be considered before spraying with the boom.
 How much chemical must be mixed in the tank.
 Rate of spray (gallons per acre to be sprayed).
 What pressure (p.s.i.) will be used.
 Speed traveled (mph) while spraying.
 Refer to the chemical label to determine your chemical mixture
 See the tip chart to determine the pressure to be used. The
chart will also show the speed used when spraying.
 Start the pump and open the valve to the boom nozzles.
 Check the spray pattern. Usually you can see the coverage
better on a solid concrete surface, such as a driveway.
 Raise or lower the nozzles so that you will have a good cover-
age pattern. Generally the proper height

Maintenance During/After Spraying
Periodically check the strainer and clean the screen on your intake line.
Proper care and maintenance will prolong the life of your sprayer.
After use, fill the sprayer half way with clean water. Start the pump and
allow the water to pump through the entire plumbing system and
nozzles. Drain and then refill half full, add the recommended amount of
a good quality tank cleaner, such as FIMCO Tank Neutralizer and
Cleaner. (If no tank cleaner is available, you may substitute dish soap
for this step). Turn pump on and circulate through system for 15
minutes and then spray out through boom and handgun nozzles. Refill
sprayer half way with clean water and repeat. Follow the chemical
manufacturer’s disposal instructions of all wash or rinsing water.
If boom or handgun nozzles need cleaning, remove them from the
sprayer and soak in warm soapy water. Clean with a soft bristled brush
or toothpick if necessary. Never use a metal object. Even the slightest
damage can change the flow rate and spray distribution. Water rinse
and dry the tips before storing.
WARNING: Some chemicals will damage the pump valves if
allowed to soak untreated for a length of time! ALWAYS flush
the pump as instructed after each use. DO NOT allow chemicals
to sit in the pump for extended times of idleness. Follow the
chemical manufacturer’s instructions on disposal of all waste
water from the sprayer.
Winter Storage
Before storing your sprayer for winter or long term storage,
thoroughly clean and drain it as much as possible. Then pour enough
pink RV antifreeze into the tank so that when the pump is turned on
you can pump the antifreeze throughout the entire plumbing system,
including the bypass. Make sure to operate the boom and handgun
until you see pink fluid spraying from the nozzles. Leave any
remaining antifreeze in the tank. Before your next usage, rinse the
antifreeze from the sprayer with clean water.
It is nearly impossible to drain all of the water from the sprayer and
any trapped water can freeze in cold weather and damage parts of
the sprayer. Pumping the antifreeze through the system will displace
the water and help prevent this damage.

Mul-Lid Direcons
1. Open ll cap and place garden hose into tank. Fill tank to desired gallon marker,
if marker is above the boom of calibraon container, stop before water reach-
es calibraon container. This is done to help chemical mix beer and keep
foaming of chemical to a minimum later.
2. Remove Mul-Lid and use calibraon container to measure the correct amount
of chemical for the water being used.
3. Pour chemical into tank and ghten Mul-Lid back onto tank. If desired amount
of water was added in step 1, you are done. Be sure to press rmly on ll cap to
seal with Mul-Lid. If desired amount of water was not met in step 1, proceed
to step 4.
4. Open ll cap and place garden hose into tank. Add water to the desired gallon
marker. Close ll cap, pressing rmly to seal cap to Mul-Lid.
NOTE: If water and chemical has not mixed properly, use the pressure adjustment
control on the manifold to recirculate the mixture through tank.
 Properly secure the tank to your utility vehicle, using tie-down or ratchet straps (Not Included).
 Tank straps may be installed through the handles to help prevent straps from slipping off tank if
too loose.
 Handles can be used to lift the empty tank in and out of the box.
 Stay within your utility vehicle’s weight limits. This unit when filled with water weighs approxi-
mately: 640 lbs. Consult the owner’s manual for your vehicle.
There is a nylon shut-off valve on the intake line. It is at this location so you can
shut off the flow of solution to access your system’s filter screen for cleaning.
Checking/Cleaning the sprayer’s filter/screen:
 Start your pump and before it shuts off, reach down and Shut the nylon
valve to the ‘Closed’ position (lever is perpendicular to the flow of fluid),
then shut off your pump.
 Unscrew the bowl of the filter to access the screen.
 Remove the screen and clean as necessary. Replace when done and
reassemble the entire assembly.
 Make sure the valve is turned to the ‘Open’ position before restarting your
pump.
