SPRAYER ON/OFF CONTROLS
• The Spray System of the SG52, SG46, SG42 and SG36
consists of a 3-
is controlled by a dedicated Lever Valve located on the
right side of the Spray Manifold.
• The 3 Lever Valves can be opened all at once or
individually depending on the desired spray width. The
Middle Valve controls the middle boom which holds 3
• Each boom wing holds 1 nozzle.
• The Lever Valve is open in the “UP”
in the “Down”
• Spray Pressure is controlled by the Pressure
Regulator located on the far-
Manifold.
• Pressure is increased by turning the Pressure
Regulator clockwise (right) and decreased by
turning counter-
measured by the Pressure Gauge.
• Use to determine desired
pressure.
**Please note pressure will decrease when the
Lever Valves are opened.**
• To create higher by-

SPRAY PUMP CONTROL
• The Spray Pump is turned on/offby one of two
ways. A constant Rocker Switch is located on the
dash panel. This pump will constantly run when

HOSE REEL OPERATION
• Each SG model is also equipped with either a 75’
Hose Reel (SG52, SG46, SG42) or a 15’ Coil Hose
(SG36). This is meant to assist with spot spraying
and or areas that are not able to be reached by the
Machine.
• To operate, turn on pump switch, make sure the
Lever Valves are turned off.
• Use the proper pressure dictated in the Spray

• Shut boom valves off, pressure gauge (1) at pump
(3) will need to be set and locked in place. The
pressure relief valve (2) will need to be adjusted
and locked into place with the jam nut. Set
pressure between 70-80 PSI.
• When spraying, always open corresponding valve
