Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of a TTi ReelStrike, which has been designed for
effortless spraying of herbicides and pesticides. The design of the tank enables the
unit to be mounted onto the cargo rack of an ATV or on the back of a utility vehicle
or trailer.
Your Safety
1. When mounting to any vehicle ensure that you have read the Vehicle Owner’s
Manual and that you comply with all the weight restrictions as specified by the
vehicle manufacturer, as overloading can cause injury or death. Remember that
1 litre of water weighs 1 kilogram.
2. To ensure your own safety and that of your employees (if applicable) you must
comply with all relevant environmental, work place health and safety legislation
and codes of practice.
3. Care should be taken when spraying in windy conditions as spray drift may
contaminate the air and may affect the operator or damage adjacent non-
target vegetation.
4. Select and wear appropriate Personal Protection Equipment in accordance with
the label of the product you intend using and your own safe work practices.
5. Improper or careless use of this sprayer can cause serious injury. Minors should
never be allowed to use this sprayer. This sprayer should not be used when
bystanders or animals are in the area. This sprayer should never be used while
children are in the area
6. Once the spraying operation has been completed, decontaminate the spray tank
and spray accessories. Store any remaining chemicals in a safe place in a sealed
container. Dispose of tank rinsings in compliance with current environmental,
work place health and safety regulations.
7. Personal Protection Equipment must still be worn while decontaminating your
sprayer as per warning at 4 above.
8. Never leave the sprayer unattended without turning off the engine and relieving
the line pressure, and flushing the sprayer of any harmful chemicals

Mixing and Filling
The following steps are given as a guide for mixing and filling the
sprayer:
1. Read the product label and follow the instructions carefully, taking special note
with regard to the order in which the products are added to the tank.
2. Half-fill the spray tank with water only and commence agitation by following
these steps:
• Pressure control lever must be in the “bypass position”. Turn regulator valve knob
in anticlock wise direction to reduce pressure to “O” bar.
• Measure the correct quantity of pesticides, using clean measuring jugs used
only for this purpose and add to the spray tank while still agitating.
• Rinse out the measuring jugs and empty containers and pour all rinsings into the
spray tank.
• Top up the spray tank with clean water to the required level.
• Your spray tank has now been correctly filled and the product thoroughly mixed.
Spraying can now commence.
3. To commence spraying, turn on pump. Open the spray gun or boom and start
spraying.
Calibration
Accurate calibration is an essential element of any spraying function as it ensures
that the pesticide is applied at the rate on the product label. Application in excess
of the recommended rate is prohibited, can damage crops and is uneconomical.
Calibration must always be carried out:
• When spraying for the first time with new spray equipment
• At the beginning of each season
• After changes of nozzle tips, spraying pressure or speed
• After every 100 hectares of spraying
When calibrating a sprayer, a minimum of coverall, gloves and boots must be worn.
A face shield and PVC apron may be included depending on the task and the
cleanliness of the sprayer.

Calibration Procedure
The following table gives a step-by-step guidance on the standard method of
sprayer calibration

Refer to nozzle manufacturers
data charts or other sources and
select the size and type of nozzle

Now, check the calibration on the sprayer
Check NOZZLE OUTPUT
With water, check outputs of 4 or
more nozzles using a calibrated
jug or flow meter. Check all
nozzles are aligned correctly and
spray patterns
Average output
=
41.9 seconds
Calibrate SPRAYER SPEED = 360 divided by TIME
(km/h) / sec 1.4 x 600 / 0.5 / 8.6
As the nozzle output and therefore the spray volume are less than target figures, increase the
pressure to, say 2.5 bar and repeat the calibration to achieve 200 Litres / hectare
Now, record the details as calculated
Nozzle Fitted 11004 - red
Spray Volume 200 Litres/hectare
Spray Pressure 2.5 bar
Spray Quality Medium
Forward Speed 8.6 km/h

Maintenance
The following steps are given as a guide to maintain your spot sprayer.
• After use, the sprayer must be thoroughly decontaminated including tank, pump,
hoses and hand lance to avoid damage to crops from harmful spray residue and
to the sprayer from corrosion or abrasion.
• After spraying, flush the tank, hose and hand lance by running it with clean
water plus a recommended cleaning fluid. It is best to clean sprayer in the field
or area just treated.
• The suction strainer attached to the pump suction line should be cleaned
periodically. Lift the strainer from the base of the tank and brush off with a soft
brush.
• Nozzle filters (if fitted), nozzle tips, nozzle caps and gaskets should be cleaned
by soaking in water, brushing with a nozzle brush and allowed to dry. Never blow
through nozzles with your mouth, nor use wire or pins to clear any blockages.
• Unscrew the hand lance grip and remove the filter screen and clean in the same
way as described for the suction strainer. Ensure that the o-rings do not become
displaced during cleaning. Reassemble the hand lance correctly.
• Align the filter screen in the handle body before the hand lance grip is screwed
back.
• When storing your spot sprayer ensure that it is clean and dry and kept in a well
ventilated place.
