WARNING
Attaching the trailer sprayer to a vehicle
changes the weight and handling of the
vehicle, and could cause loss of control
resulting in serious injury or death.
Refer to the vehicles operators manual
for tow bar and braking capacities and
do not exceed those recommendations.
Consider the terrain that the trailer
sprayer will be used on when evaluating
the capacities of the tow vehicle. Hills
and slopes will require more braking
power and stopping distance than flat
areas.
Do not use the fully loaded sprayer in
areas where stopping and vehicle
handling is questionable. The following
chart should be used to adjust the weight
of the sprayer to fit the tow vehicle and
its conditions.
Based on the weight of water.

NOZZLE SELECTION:
See the nozzle charts on page 7 or 8 to be sure
that your spray nozzles have the capacity
necessary to achieve the application rate selected.
To select the proper nozzle, you need to know:
1. Recommended chemical application rate in
gallons per acre, gallons per 1000 sq. ft. or liters
per hectare.
2. Average Vehicle speed in Miles per hour or
kilometers per hour.
3. Nozzle spacing (20 inches or 50 centimeters.)
With this information you can calculate the volume
per minute per nozzle, using the formulas below.
US FORMULA:
G.P.M. = G.P.A. x M.P.H. X 20 ins.
(Per Nozzle) 5940
TU (Turf) FORMULA:
G.P.M. = G.P.K. x M.P.H. x 20 ins.
(Per Nozzle) 137
SI (METRIC) FORMULA:
lit/min = lit/ha x km/h x 50 cm
(Per Nozzle) 60,000
Use G.P.M. (lit/min) and Pressure to select
appropriate nozzle from chart on page 7 or 8.
EXAMPLE (US FORMULA):
Application Rate = 75 Gallons/Acre
Vehicle Speed = 4 M.P.H.
Nozzle Spacing = 20 inches
75 G.P.A. x 4 M.P.H. x 20 = 1.00 G.P.M.
5940 (per nozzle)
With 1.00 G.P.M. and a pressure of 40 P.S.I. you
would select Nozzle No. 95-9188.
EXAMPLE (TU FORMULA):
Application Rate = 1.70 Gal./1000 sq. ft.
Vehicle Speed = 4 M.P.H.
Nozzle Spacing = 20 inches
1.70 G.P.K. x 4 M.P.H. x 20 = 1.00 G.P.M.
137 (per nozzle)
EXAMPLE (SI FORMULA):
Application Rate = 907 lit/hectare
Vehicle Speed = 5 km/h
Nozzle Spacing = 50 cm
907 lit/ha x 5 km/h x 50 = 3.78 lit/min.
60,000 (per nozzle)
With 3.78 lit/min and a pressure at 275 kPa you
would select nozzle No. 95-9188

FLUSH PUMP AFTER USE
One of the most common causes for faulty pump
performance is gumming or corrosion inside the
pump. Flush the pump and entire system with a
solution that will chemically neutralize the liquid
pumped. Mix according to chemical
manufacturers directions. This will dissolve most
residue remaining in the pump, leaving the inside
of the pump clean for the next use.
TO PREVENT CORROSION
After cleaning the pump as directed above, flush
it with a permanent type automobile antifreeze
(Prestone, Zerex, etc.) containing a rust inhibitor.
Use a 50% solution - that is, half antifreeze and
half water, or fill pump with FLUID FILM and then
drain it. A protective coating of FLUID FILM will
remain on the inner pump surfaces. Save the
excess FLUID FILM for the next application. Plug
the ports to keep out air during storage. For short
periods of idleness, noncorrosive liquids may be
left in the pump, BUT AIR MUST BE KEPT OUT.
Plug ports or seal port connections.
IMPORTANT: FREEZING TEMPERATURES
MAY DAMAGE THE PUMP & CONTROL VALVE
IF THE WATER IS NOT DRAINED
COMPLETELY!
SERVICING AFTER STORAGE:
Flush the entire spraying system with clean, clear
water and detergent.
Flush the entire spraying system again with clean,
clear water to rinse.
Drain entire spraying system.
STORAGE AND DISPOSAL OF
CHEMICALS:
Follow chemical manufacturers recommendations
for storage and disposal of chemicals.

BEFORE OPERATING
ENGINE
FILL ENGINE CRANKCASE WITH OIL:
IMPORTANT! The Skid Sprayer is shipped from
the factory without oil in the engines crankcase.
1. Position the Skid Sprayer on a level surface.
2. Clean the area around the oil fill/check plug
and remove it.
FIG. 1
1. Oil Fill/Check Plug 2. Fuel Tank Cap
3. Oil Drain
3. Insert a funnel into the oil fill tube and slowly
pour engine oil into the crankcase. The engine
uses any high-quality oil having the American
Petroleum Institute-API - service classification
SE, SF or SG. See viscosity on page 12 chart for
recommended weight to use. The capacity of the
crankcase is approximately 44 ounces (1.3 L).
4. The level should be up to, but not over, the
point of overflowing the filler neck.
5. Reinstall the oil fill/check plug and tighten
securely. Make sure it is tightened to 13 ft. lbs.
(17.6 N m) torque.
IMPORTANT! Check the oil level every five (5)
operating hours or each time the engine is
started. For a new engine, drain the oil and
replace it after the first five (5) hours of
operation: thereafter, under normal conditions,
change oil after every 25 hours of operation.
Change the oil more frequently when the engine
is operated in dusty or dirty conditions.
WARNING
Because gasoline is flammable, caution
must be used when storing or handling it.
Do not fill fuel tank while engine is running,
hot or when machine is in an enclosed area.
Vapors may build up and be ignited by a
spark or flame source many feet away. DO
NOT SMOKE while filling the fuel tank to
prevent the possibility of an explosion.
Always fill fuel tank outside and wipe up any
spilled gasoline before starting engine. Use
a funnel or spout to prevent spilling gasoline,
and fill tank to about 1/2 inch (13 mm) below
the filler neck. Store gasoline in a cool, well-
ventilated place; never in an enclosed area
such as a hot storage shed. To ensure
volatility, do not buy more than a 30 day
supply of gasoline. Gasoline is a fuel for
internal combustion engines; therefore, do
not use it for any other purpose. Since many
children like the smell of gas, keep it out of
their reach because the fumes are explosive
and dangerous to inhale.
1. Clean area around fuel tank cap so foreign
matter cannot enter tank when cap is removed.
See FIG. 1.
2. Remove cap from fuel tank and fill tank with
unleaded gasoline to within 1/2" (13 mm) from top
of tank. Then reinstall fuel tank cap.
3. Wipe up any gasoline that may have spilled.

FILLING THE SOLUTION TANK:
WARNING
CHEMICALS ARE HAZARDOUS AND CAN
CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY!
Carefully read the directions printed on
the chemical manufacturers labels
before handling chemicals. Instructions
on chemical manufacturers container
labels, regarding mixing proportions,
should be read and strictly followed.
Keep spray material from skin. If spray
material comes in contact with body,
wash it off immediately with clean water
and detergent.
Always wear goggles and other
protective equipment as recommended
by the Chemical Manufacturer.
IMPORTANT: Do not add chemical to Tank until
just before use. The concentrate should not be
poured into an empty Tank. Fill Tank at least one-
half full with clean, clear water, add chemical
concentrate and finish filling Tank with water.
Follow the chemical manufacturers
instructions for mixing spray solution to obtain
desired application rate.
FILL THE FRESH WATER WASH TANK
NOTE: Fill Fresh Water Wash Tank with clean
water only. Check to assure tank is full before
each operation.

OPERATION
41441 CENTRIFUGAL PUMP
AFTER SPRAYING:
It is extremely important to carefully wash and
clean the Tank after every use.
Not only the Tank but the Pump, Hoses, Nozzles,
Screens, Filters, and the exterior of the Sprayer
also should be cleaned.
Flush Pump After Use
One of the most common causes for faulty pump
performance is "gumming" or corrosion inside the
pump. Flush the pump and entire system with a
solution that will chemically neutralize the liquid
pumped. Mix according to the chemical
manufacturer's directions. This will dissolve most
residue remaining in the pump, leaving the inside
of the pump clean for the next use.
A minimum of three 50 gallon rinses usually is
required for all components of the Sprayer. The
addition of a detergent cleaner may be advisable
in the initial washing. Directions for such an
addition, if required, are included on the chemical
container.
Cleaning of the Sprayer should be accomplished
in an area where there is no potential for the
chemicals to be washed off in surface water or to
enter subsurface drainage systems.
When Sprayer is not to be used for an extended
period, refer to the STORAGE section of this
Manual for the detailed instructions to prevent
damage to the components.
USING THE SPRAYER:
IMPORTANT: Check all of your equipment...
make sure that all components are clean,
including the Tank, Pump, Strainer, Check
Valves, Hoses, Nozzles, Spray Tips and Suction
Line Strainer.
1. Start the engine as instructed in the ENGINE
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS section.
2. Engage the Pump and use the Ratchet Valve
to start and stop boom spray while spraying.
IMPORTANT! While operating the Sprayer:
 Do not overlap areas that have been sprayed
previously.
 Watch for plugged Nozzles. Replace all worn
Nozzles or those producing streaky or uneven
patterns.
3. Stop the spray flow before stopping the
Vehicle.
IMPORTANT! Pump can be damaged if run dry.
Be prepared to disengage pump before tank is
empty. DO NOT spray on slopes or hill sides
with less than 10 gallons of spray solution in
tank.

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
41441 CENTRIFUGAL PUMP
FIG. 8
1. Suction Line Valve 2. Suction Strainer
(open)
BELT TENSION:
Preventative maintenance is most important to
assure long life of the Manual Spray System. The
following maintenance procedures should be
followed on a regular basis:
Flush the entire spraying system as described on
page 16 after each use. Failure to clean the system
can result in a chemical residue which can plug
the Control Valve, Hoses and/or Nozzle Tips, and
seriously damage the Centrifugal Pump.
Wash spray nozzles thoroughly with water. Blow
out orifice, clean and dry. If orifice remains
clogged, clean it with a soft bristled brush... never
use a metal object.
Check all of the nozzles frequently to spot any
inconsistencies in the spray pattern. Worn nozzle
orifices which allow a greater volume of spray
material to flow through the nozzle can cause an
expensive loss in chemical and/or turf damage.
SUCTION STRAINER:
Turn off Suction Line Valve if Tank is full of spray
solution. Remove the cap and clean the strainer
screen after every 50 hours when using liquid
chemical, or after every use when spraying
wettable powders.
IMPORTANT: Do not operate the pump dry! Be
certain Suction Line Valve is opened when
spraying is resumed. Damage to Spray Pump
will result when operating the Sprayer with
Valve closed.
Keep Belt and Pulley free from any foreign material
which may cause slippage. If a belt slips, tighten
it.
Check the tension on a new drive Belt frequently
during the first day of operation and periodically
thereafter.
After every 200 hours of operation, check the
tension of all Belts. If a Belt shows signs of cracks
or fraying, install a new Belt.
ROTATING PULLEYS AND BELTS CAN
CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY.
WARNING
Keep hands, feet and clothing clear
while engine is running.
Stop engine before attempting any belt
adjustment.

Pump Housing Disassembly
In most cases, seal replacement requires
disassembly of only the pump half of the unit.
1. Remove the four casing cap screws with 9/16"
box end wrench. Tap pump casing on discharge
port with rubber hammer, if necessary, to break
loose from mounting flange. Check inside of pump
casing including suction port. If badly eroded (or
damaged), pump casing should be replaced.
Remove O-ring and discard. O-ring should always
be replaced.
2. To remove the impeller nut, clamp the flange
in a vise and insert a large screwdriver or file (at
least 10" long) into impeller vanes to prevent
impeller from turning when loosening nut. Use a
5/8" box end or socket wrench to remove the
impeller nut by turning it counterclockwise. See
FIG. 9.
2. Remove stationary seat and boot by prying out
with two small screwdrivers in manner similar to
impeller removal. (Caution: The seal will be
damaged by removal in this manner. A new seal
and rubber gasket MUST be used when pump is
reassembled.)
Clean-Up of Pump Housing
1. Using a circular bottle-type wire brush with air
or hand drill, clean the discharge port, suction port
and the sealing areas of the O-ring on the pump
casing and mounting flange.
2. After wire brush cleaning, it is recommended
that the pump casing and mounting flange be
further cleaned in a solvent tank to remove rust
and corrosion particles.
Seal Replacement/Pump Housing
Reassembly
NOTE: Reassemble if drive end is not to be
repaired.
Be extremely careful with the new seal. Take
special care not to scratch the lapped sealing faces
of the rotary washer and stationary seat.
1. Lubricate seal cavity in mounting flange with
mineral oil or glycerin.
2. Install the stationary portion of the mechanical
seal by sliding over the shaft with the ceramic side
out.
IMPORTANT: Make sure both seal cavity and
seal are clean and lubricated. Never run the
sealing faces dry.
3. To seat the seal in the seal cavity, use a piece
of 3/4" PVC pipe 4" to 6" in length. Press it in firmly
and squarely.
4. To install the rotary portion of the mechanical
seal, place it over the shaft with the carbon side
facing in, and press until it bottoms out against
the stationary portion. Install rubber spacer. See
FIG. 10.
5. Insert key into shaft key slot. Place impeller
on shaft. Put impeller nut on shaft end using a
large screwdriver or file in the impeller vanes for
support, tighten impeller nut securely.
6. Install O-ring on mounting flange. Replace
O-ring.
7. Place pump casing on mounting flange, insert
and tighten bolts evenly.
3. Once nut is removed, place a screwdriver on
each side (FIG. 9) behind the impeller and pry
away from the mounting flange. Remove woodruff
key from the shaft. Remove O-ring from the
mounting flange.
