Pump
The ReelStrike & Strike is fitted as standard with an 8.3 L/min 100psi 12V Remco electric pump. Optionally
available are larger capacity Remco electric pumps, with increased delivery from 11.4 L/min to 19 L/min.
If the spray gun or spray boom is not in operation when the pump is running, the fluid bypasses back into
the tank.
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.
The BoomTech nozzle kit requires a minimum pump capacity of 11.4 L/min, requiring the selection of one of
the three larger pump options available for the ReelStrike & Strike units.
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.
Versatile Spray Boom
An optional 4m Versatile spray boom can be mounted to the vehicle or trailer with U-bolt clamps or using
the optional HitchIt attachment. The 1.2m wide 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.

6m Hose and Spray Gun
For the Strike unit, a manually coiled 6m long 10mm diameter hose is connected to a trigger actuated
PowerJet spray gun with adjustable brass nozzle. 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. The spray gun is stowed by means of two storage clips
located on the side of the tank.
30m Hose Reel and Spray Gun
The ReelStrike has an manually operated hose reel containing 30m of 10mm diameter hose is connected
to a trigger actuated PowerJet spray gun with adjustable brass nozzle. The hose is pulled out manually
from the reel and retracted using the handle on the side. The spray gun is stowed by means of two storage
clips located on the side of the tank.
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
A filter is installed on the suction line adjacent to the pump. The filter has a removeable filter element for
easy cleaning.
Manually Operated Valve
A manually operated valve is fitted to the optional spray boom feed line. The valve switches from the hose
feed to the spray boom feed.

Machine Limitations
The Strike and ReelStrike & Strike units are 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 ReelStrike & Strike 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 ReelStrike & Strike 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 ReelStrike &
Strike. 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 4, 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.

Product HandBook
ReelStrike™ & Strike™
1800 816 277www.tti.com.au
11
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 ReelStrike & Strike 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.
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 4m, the application rate =
(600 x 5 = 62.5 L/ha)/(4 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 particular chemical:
• ⦁Nozzle Fitted
• ⦁Type (Drop Size)
• ⦁Application Rate
• ⦁Spray Pressure
• ⦁Forward Speed
