Pile Driver Boom
The three-lane Pile Driver Boom offers the ability to
spray over 30 feet wide with precision.
Each section of the boom is controlled via the VSI
Spray App by pressing the Boom Section Control
buttons the SPRAY tab in accordance with the boom
section you want to activate/deactivate. If damage
occurs to any part of the boom, contact VSI for
replacement parts.
Total Control Box
The total control box contains actuators that control
the throttle and choke of the engine. It is important to
keep the choke and throttle mechanisms lubricated
and clean so that the total control system can function
properly. Take caution not to damage the linkage
cables from the box to the engine.
Flowmeter
The flowmeter is the green device in-line with the
plumbing on the pressure side of the pump. This vital
instrument tracks the flow rate and volume going to
the hose reel and spray boom sections. This real-time
reading tells the sprayer GPS rate-control system to
increase or decrease the flow rate to the boom based
on your speed by opening or closing the proportioning
valve. The figure below shows the flowmeter as
viewed from the back of the spray unit.
Note: The magnetic flowmeters used do not require
recalibration due to the use of different brine blends.
Proportional Valve
The proportioning valve is what regulates the flow to
the spray boom based on GPS speed inputs when
spraying in AUTO mode. Or in MANUAL mode the
proportioning valve regulates the flow to the spray
boom based on user inputs for desired gallons per
minute.
The figure below shows the proportional valve as
viewed from the back of the sprayer. The viewing
glass panel indicates full flow (arrow pointing all the
way counter clockwise, 9 o’clock position) or closed
(all the way clockwise, 12 o’clock position).
Note: Check your Proportional Valve Setting on the
SETTINGS tab of the VSI Spray App to match the
yellow or red proportional valve equipped on the
sprayer.
13

Filter
Each sprayer is equipped with a filter right before the
inlet to the pump. Inside the filter housing is a
reusable stainless steel 30 mesh filter.
If you suspect the filter is clogged:
1. Close the tank valve and loosen the collar
around the filter housing.
2. Pull the outer housing off and remove the filter.
3. Rinse the filter clean and place it back in the
housing.
Remote Controls
Overview
The remote operates in three (3) different
configurations.
1. Smartphone/tablet connected to sprayer and
remote in conjunction,
2. Only remote connected to sprayer, and
3. Remote wired via emergency backup harness
Configuration Option 1
Smartphone/Tablet Connected to Sprayer and
Remote in Conjunction
With a smartphone or tablet connected to the sprayer
via Bluetooth, the remote replaces the need to use the
touch screen on your device. This configuration
allows the operator a tangible feel of turning the boom
sections on and off on the remote.
Normal use of this configuration consists of the
smartphone or tablet mounted on a holder in the
vehicle to monitor settings and the spray display; the
remote is then used to signal boom sections and
engine control.
Note: The display on the SPRAY tab of the VSI Spray
App is identical (and updated) when using the remote
or the app controls.
Configuration Option 2
Only Remote Connected to Sprayer
The remote is able to control the sprayer in situations
where a smartphone or tablet are not connected.
In this configuration the remote will default the sprayer
settings to 100 GPA (gallons per acre) and function in
the Auto mode.
Configuration Option 3
Remote Wired Via Emergency Backup Harness
In an emergency situation (dead battery on sprayer,
damaged components, smartphone issues, etc.), use
the wired emergency backup configuration. The
remote in this wired configuration will still signal the
three (3) boom sections along with the engine throttle
and choke controls. All other functions of control are
disabled.
Store the emergency harness in the vehicle and install
it only when needed.
Connect the harness ot the ten-pin plug (located on
the back of the sprayer control box) and route the
cable through an open window of the truck. Plug the
other end of the harness into the auxiliary power port
(cigarette lighter) on the truck and plug the flat ten-pin
plug into the bottom of the remote (you will need to
remove the rubber plug on the bottom of the remote to
access this plug).
If this emergency backup harness is connected to the
box while the sprayer control box power switch is on,
the control box will turn off all functions and go into
sleep mode. You will not be able to operate the
sprayer with a smart device until the backup harness
is disconnected.
14

Note: A 10 foot extension harness is also supplied
and can be used when the 25 foot harness is not long
enough to reach the cab of the truck.

● For best results, use only clean, fresh (less
than 30 days old), unleaded gasoline with an
octane rating of 87 or higher ((R+M)/2 rating
method).
● Ethanol: Gasoline with up to 10% ethanol
(gasohol) or 15% MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl
ether) by volume is acceptable. Ethanol and
MTBE are not the same. Gasoline with 15%
ethanol (E15) by volume is not approved for
use. Never use gasoline that contains more
than 10% ethanol by volume, such as E15
(contains 15% ethanol), E20 (contains 20%
ethanol), or E85 (contains 85% ethanol).
Using unapproved gasoline may cause
performance problems and/or engine damage,
which may not be covered under warranty.

methanol.
● Do not store fuel either in the fuel tank or fuel
containers over the off-season unless a fuel
stabilizer is used.
● Do not add oil to gasoline.
Filling the Fuel Tank
Fuel-Tank Capacity: 0.95 US Gallons
1. Clean around the fuel-tank cap and remove
the cap from the tank.
2. Fill the fuel tank to approximately 1 inch below
the top of the tank with the specified fuel.
The air space below the top of the tank allows
the fuel to expand.
Important : Do not overfill the fuel tank.
Adding more than the specified level
results in damage to the vapor recovery
system, leading to engine performance
failure. This is not a warrantable failure and
requires fuel-tank cap replacement.
3. Install the fuel-tank cap and wipe up any
spilled fuel.
Side Boom Nozzle Positions
Small Side Nozzles
The small side boom nozzles are located on the
bottom of each boom end nozzle mount.
The small side nozzles are lower flow rate and are
made for the lower application rates of typical
pre-treatment.
The small side nozzles are designed to be used when
spraying at 20 to 50 gallons per acre (GPA) at normal
speeds of 2 to 10 mph. These tips could also be used
in applications where you are post treating in very
small lots, on driveways, or other low speed or low
volume applications.
Medium Side Nozzles
The medium side nozzles are located in the middle of
each boom end nozzle mount.
The medium side nozzles are designed for normal
post treatment applications (60 to 80 GPA) and travel
speeds of 5 to 14 mph.
18

Large Side Nozzles
The large side nozzles are located on the top of each
boom end nozzle mount.
The large side nozzles are designed to be used when
spraying 80 to 120+ GPA or when pre-treating at
higher speeds around 25 mph. These nozzles would
be typical on areas such as roadways or large
logistics centers where speeds commonly exceed
treatment speed of a typical parking lot.
Center Boom Nozzle Positions
There are 2 available connection points on the center
of the boom, the center fan nozzle and the center
boom pipe.
Center Fan Nozzle
The center fan nozzle is designed to be a
pre-treatment tip only. The design of the tip allows it to
cover slightly more than the width of the truck and
provide an even coverage of the application surface.
Note: When pretreating parking lots with little traffic
utilizing lower application speeds the center fan nozzle
is the preferred tip.
Center Boom Pipe Connection
The center boom pipe connection utilizes the 1”
stainless steel pipe inside the boom shroud.
This connection point will be used for all post
treatment applications and high speed pretreatment
applications. As stated before, the center boom will
not be balanced when using the small side nozzles,
but this configuration can be used in areas where very
slow post treatment application is required.
Normal post treatment application will consist of the
center boom pipe and medium side nozzles.
Note: Attempting to perform a pretreatment
application with the center boom pipe and small side
nozzles will leave the application rate unbalanced
and the outer nozzle performance will suffer. While
center boom pipe applications leave the appearance
of pretreatment “lines” similar to a highway
department, the performance will be unsatisfactory.
The highway department is traveling at high rates of
speed, requires a heavier pattern to avoid wind
dilution, and has high traffic levels to track product
evenly.

Sprayer Control Box Light
Modes
The computer inside the control box will display
different light modes depending on the operation
status/ battery level of the sprayer.
Common light modes include the following:
Status LED Indicator
Mode and Meaning
Solid green, yellow, or
red
Computer is on but is not connected to Bluetooth . The color of the light
indicates the battery voltage that the computer is currently reading from the battery.
Green is close to full charge, Yellow is medium charge, Red means the battery
needs to be charged.
Breathing green,
yellow, or red
Computer is on and connected to a device with Bluetooth . The color of the
light indicates the battery voltage that the computer is currently reading from the
battery. Green is close to full charge, Yellow is medium charge, Red means the
battery needs to be charged.
Flashing green, yellow,
or red
One or more of the booms is on or Hose Reel Tracking is enabled. The color
of the light indicates the battery voltage that the computer is currently reading from
the battery. Green is close to full charge, Yellow is medium charge, Red means the
battery needs to be charged.
Flashing orange
Control box is saving data to the computer. DO NOT UNPLUG THE CONTROL
BOX WHEN THE ORANGE LIGHT IS FLASHING OR DATA CORRUPTION CAN
OCCUR. This happens when a user disconnects a smart device connection,
whether the user chooses to disconnect or the smart device goes out of range. The
control box also saves data when the power button is turned off. If the power
button is turned off the computer will flash orange while it saves data and then the
light on the computer will turn off.
Flashing magenta
Control box is receiving a firmware update. It is normal for the light to appear
solid for a short period of time and flash at different rates while the firmware update
is being downloaded. Once the process is finished the computer will restart and the
user will need to reconnect to the sprayer with their smart device.
Flashing green, then
breathing cyan
Operator is connecting the sprayer board to WiFi . When the user chooses to
connect to WiFi the computer will start flashing green as it tries to connect to the
WiFi network chosen. When the network is connected the light will flash cyan until
it is able to establish a connection with the cloud. Then when it connects to the
cloud it will start breathing cyan. If there is a firmware update available the
