3. Using the Tomahawk Power
Backpack Sprayer Starting the engine
(1) Set the throttle handle to the stop
position before starting the engine, otherwise
chemical will be sprayed when starting engine.
(2) Be sure no one stands in front of
nozzle, even though t h e handl e is set,
to stop, residual materials in pipe will blow out.
Spray Operation
(1)
wind is recommended. For example,
Operation during cool weather with little
in the early morning or in the late afternoon.
This can reduce the evaporation and drift of
chemicals and improve spraying efficiency.
(2) Operator should face his/her back to wind.
(3) If your mouth or eyes are spattered
with chemicals, wash them with clean water
and go to see a doctor immediately.
(4) If the operator has a headache or
dizziness, stop working at once and go to
see a doctor immediately.
2.Proper Clothing
To reduce the risk of injury, the operator
should wear proper protective apparel.
•Wear glasses and gauze mask to
protect your eyes and face to protect
against dust and pesticide.
•Carefully read this manual before
using this product.
•Wear ear mufflers to protect your
hearing.
•Clothing covering arms and legs
must be worn to avoid contact
with pesticide.
•Wear closed-toed protective
shoes.
•Gloves must be worn to avoid
contact with pesticide .

Fueling
Keep the fuel tank far away from the
flames or sparks. Do not smoke
near fuel. When the machine is
running, do not add more fuel to
the fuel tank.
Warning
During operation, the muffler or
catalytic muffler and surrounding

2. Main Application
This Tomahawk Power Backpack Sprayer is
the ideal portable tool for prevention of diseases
and for plant protection. It is mainly used in
prevention and cure of diseases and pests
of plants such as cotton, rice, wheat,
fruit trees, corn, greens, vines,etc.It can also
be used for residential and commercial pest
control, city sanitation, and greenhouses.
3. Main Features
3.1 This machine uses a gear structure to
decrease speed, so it is very durable.
3.2 The main part is the plunger pump
The structure is simple and compact, so it
allows for easy maintenance.
3.3 This machine has high pressure, great
flow and high efficiency, so the spraying of the
chemicals is highly efficient.
4. Main Structure
This machine consists mainly of:
4.1 Engine. It is the source of power
for the machine. It is connected to
the plunger pump through a dece-
lerating device and connected to the
frame by a bottom support.
4.2 Plunger Pump. It is the heart of
the machine. It is connected to the
engine and to the frame.
4.3 Frame. It supports the machine.
4.4 Chemical Tank. It is used for
holding chemical liquid.
4.5 Spraying Parts. Consists of
plastic tube assembly, handle, valve,
straight spraying tube assembly and
long spraying nozzle.
4.6 Accessories. A single nozzle
conical gun and a heavy duty foundation
gun are available. Must purchase
separately.

5.2.3 Move the fuel handle in the starting position (about one third of the whole scale).
See Figure 3.
5.2.4 Pull the starter lightly 3-5 times to push fuel into the cylinder. Then pull faster to start the
engine.
Figure 3
5.3 Spraying
5.3.1 When adding chemical liquid, it should be poured slowly into the chemical tank. The liquid
must be poured through the filter in order to avoid undesired matter from entering into the liquid
tank, which could cause harm to the chemical tank or engine. After adding liquid, screw down the
chemical tank lid in order to avoid leakage.
5.3.2 Regulate the choke (see Figure 4) to the closed position to start and then move to the full
open position when the engine is hot.
5.Operating Instructions
5.1 Preparation before start
5.1.1 Connecting spraying parts. Before starting, verify all the connections are working.

6.Plastic Tube
Never fill the fuel tank to the very top.
Never add fuel to the tank in a closed non-ventilated area.
Do not add fuel to this unit close to a open fire or sparks.
Be sure to wipe off spilled fuel before attempting to start the engine.
Do not attempt to refuel a hot engine.
5.2 Start
5.2.1 Adding fuel. This gasoline engine is a single-cylinder, two stroke. The engine uses a fuel
mixture of No. 90 gasoline and two-strole oil. The gasoline oil mixture ratio is of 30:1 (gasoline : oil)
5.2.2 Push the fuel-injecting pump continuously until the pump is visibly is full.
5.1.2 Check that all the connections are correct and stable.
5.1.3 For long term storage, oil sealed must be removed first. To remove: Take off the spark plug,
use the lift thumb to stop the spark plug hole and pull the starter to remove oil.
5.1.4 Check the spark of the spark plug. Normally the sparks should be blue.
5.1.5 Check if the air filter is clean. A dirty air filter will influence the volume of incoming air that
may cause bad engine performance.
Figure 2
Note: After starting the engine, the recoil starter
should be retracted slowly. If the rope on the recoil
retracts fast, it may cause damage to the engine.
5.2.5 Next, move the choke slowly to full open posi-
tion. Regulate the fuel handle to a proper position to
run at a low speed for 3-5 minutes.
5.2.6 New machines should not work at full open
position within the first 4 hours. The speed should
be controlled at 4000-5000 rpm.

Figure 4
5.3.3 Important notes when spraying:
A) Swing the spraying tube with your hand after
turning on the handle valve. In order to avoid
chemical harm, it is strictly prohibited to spray
only in one place.
B) Operator should face the wind. The spraying
tube should form an approximate 15° angle.
C) During spraying, the spraying tube should be
swung continuously between the left and the right
to increase spraying range.
5.3.4 Pressure regulation. When the engine’s speed
is 5000-6000rpm, regulate the water pressure of
the plunger pump.
If it is necessary to regulate, please do this
procedure as per the instructions on Figure 5.
Figure 5
5.3.4 Spraying. Regulate the fuel handle to allow the
machine to run at about 6500r/min and turn on the
handle spraying valve to begin spraying.
5.3.5 Stopping. Move the stop switch to the STOP
position when the engine idles.
Figure 6
5.4 Avoid fire.
a) NEVER start a fire or smoke near the machine.
b) NEVER refuel the machine when it is hot or running.
c) NEVER pour fuel on the machine. If you do, clean it
immediately. After adding fuel, screw down the fuel tank
lid, then move the machine to a new place to start the engine.
5.5 Spraying operation.
a) Chemical spraying should be performed under cool weather with little wind. We recommend
spraying early in the morning or in the late afternoon. This will reduce evaporation and drift of
chemicals improving spray efficiency.
b) The operator must walk facing the wind.
c) If chemical touches the operator’s mouth or eyes, wash them immediately with clean water and
and then visit a doctor.
d) If the operator has a headache or feeling dizzy, he must stop working immediately and should
visit a doctor.
e) For the operator’s safety, spraying must be carried out strictly according to the instruction
of the chemicals being used.
