SpotPro™
Figure 2 – Component Identification – SpotPro Deluxe 200LTank
All TTi tanks are constructed from UV stabilised, impact resistant, virgin material polyethylene. The tank is
fully drainable and is fitted with an internal basket strainer under the filling cap.
The SpotPro Deluxe tanks are mounted in an integral steel frame using the Surefit pin mount on the base of the
tanks. The standard SpotPro units have the Surefit pin mount on the base of the tanks, and either one (220L)
or two (400L) tie-down recesses in the tank, for securing to the vehicle.
Pump Unit
All SpotPro units are fitted with a 12L/min Spray Marshal pump with a Honda GX35 recoil (pull) start petrol
engine.
If the spray gun or spray boom is not in operation when the pump is running, the fluid bypasses back into the
tank via the hose operation lever adjacent to the pressure regulator.
30m Hose Reel and Spray Gun
An optional manually operated hose reel containing 30m of 10mm diameter hose is connected to a trigger
actuated spray gun with adjustable nozzle. The hose is pulled out manually from the reel and retracted using
the handle on the side.
The nozzle adjusts from jet through to mist sprays by rotating the nozzle head. When the trigger is squeezed,
the fluid is discharged; when the trigger is released, the fluid bypasses back into the tank.
Pressure Regulator
A pressure regulator and pressure gauge are fitted to the pump discharge flange to control line pressure and
prevent pump cavitation. The regulator is adjustable depending on the operation requirements – for boom
spraying, the regulator is to be set to approximately 3 bar; with spot spraying via the hose reel the regulator is
set to approximately 5 bar.

Suction Filter
Adjacent to the pump a filter is installed on the suction line. The filter has a removeable filter element for easy
cleaning.
Versatile Spray Boom
An optional 1.2m Versatile spray boom can be mounted to the back of the vehicle using the optional Hayman
Reece HitchIt attachment. The spray boom has three adjustable centre nozzles and two off-centre end jets
to provide a range of spray volumes and patterns, which can achieve a 4m width swath.
The spray boom is operated by a manual valve to start up or stop spray operations. When the valve is closed,
the fluid bypasses back into the tank.
Boomless Nozzle Kit
An optional brass boomless nozzle kit can be mounted to the optional HitchIt attachment, which fits any 50mm
Hayman Reece tow hitch. The nozzle is available in four sizes and is ideal for blanket spraying, especially in
rough country spraying and for locust control. By swapping nozzle plates, the nozzle can be used for either a
90 or 180-degree spray swath.
BoomTech Nozzle Kit
An optional BoomTech nozzle kit can be mounted to the vehicle or trailer with a tailgate bracket. The BoomTech
has two volume adjustable nozzles, ideal for fence lines, orchard, blanket and end row spraying.
Manually Operated Valve
A manually operated valve is fitted to feed to the spray boom. The valve switches from the hose reel feed to
the spray boom feed.
Frame
The chassis frame of the SpotPro Deluxe units is an all steel, fully welded construction and hot dip galvanised
for corrosion resistance.
Machine Limitations
The SpotPro is subject to operating limitations. It is the operator’s responsibility to ensure that this equipment
is being operated safely and within these limitations.
Driving Stability
The SpotPro unit is heavy when filled with fluid. To maintain stability while operating this unit:
• Ensure the vehicle tyres are inflated to their correct pressure at all times. Underinflated tyres can
cause excessive lateral motion of the tyre, which may cause a rollover.
• Allow extra room for braking and turning when the tank is full.
• Ensure any side gradient (slope) is accounted for, especially when the SpotPro tank is full, as the
vehicle may have a higher centre of gravity.

Spray Boom Calibration
Accurate calibration is an essential element of any spraying function as it ensures that the chemical is applied
at the rate specified on the product label. Application in excess of the recommended rate may be dangerous,
can damage crops and is uneconomical.
Calibration must 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 vehicle speed
• After every 100 hectares of spraying
PPE appropriate to the chemicals being used must be worn at all times when calibrating the SpotPro. As a
minimum, the PPE should include coveralls, gloves and boots. A face shield and PVC apron are recommended.
Calibration Procedure
Check the label on the chemical container for the application rate and recommended spray nozzle type, refer
to Figure 3, which shows the TeeJet AIXR nozzle application chart. To apply a specific rate of chemical to the
target surface, work out the:
• total sprayer output,
• travel speed, and
• the swath width.
Using these parameters, the application rate is calculate as follows.
Measure Total sprayer output [L/min]
Set the pressure at the correct level for spraying determined by the type of nozzles. All nozzles used for
spraying should be left on. For initial trials, set the pressure regulator at approximately 2 bar and adjust as
needed.
• Fill the spray tank with clean water, refer to Filling the SpotPro Tank procedure below. Run the sprayer at
the correct pressure with all nozzles operating.
• Place a measuring jug under first nozzle for one minute, then measure how much water is in the jug.
• Repeat for all nozzles. Nozzle output should not vary by more than 10%. If it does, the nozzle could be
worn or damaged and should be replaced.
• Add all the jug measurements to find the total sprayer output in litres per minute.

1800 816 277www.tti.com.au

Product HandBook
SpotPro™
Measure the travel speed [km/h]
The normal speed for spraying with small boom sprayers is 4–10 km/h. The slower the travel, the higher the
application rate. Adjust travel speed to suit ground conditions.
Measure how many seconds it takes to travel 100 metres with the sprayer attached and half full.
Calculate your travel speed by inserting the time in seconds into the following formula: Travel speed (km/h) =
distance travelled in metres (say 100m) x3.6 / Time taken (in seconds)
Calculate spray application rate [L/Ha]
First, measure the swath width in metres. For general broadcast spraying, the swath width is equal to the
number of nozzles multiplied by the nozzle spacing. For band spraying the swath width is equal to the total of
all the band widths. Calculate the application rate using the following formula:
Application rate (L/ha) = (600 x total sprayer output (L/min)) / (swath width (m) x travel speed (km/h))
Example: If total sprayer output is 5 L/min, speed is 8 km/h, and swath width is 6m, Application rate = (600 x
5 = 62.5 L/ha)/(6 x 8 )
If the application rate is less than specified, increase the pressure and repeat calibration to achieve the correct
rate. Once the required rate is achieved, note the following parameters for future reference when using this
chemical:
• Nozzle Fitted
• Type (Drop Size)
• Application Rate
• Spray Pressure
• Forward Speed.
