Defender Insp & Setup
Defender Inspection & Setup
Your Wylie “Defender” 3 Point Sprayer was manufactured
to the highest standards of quality. It is necessary though,
to check to make sure that nothing was damaged during
shipping. Check bolts and fasteners for tightness. Check
the pump and plumbing for any signs of damage.
”Defender” Sprayer Inspection & Setup
Your Wylie “Defender” sprayer was completely assembled
and should not need any additional assembly before use.
However, if the sprayer was motor freighted directly to you,
minor assembly will be required.
The control will need to be bolted to the control stand. The
bolts should be in the stand. The boomless nozzle bracket
(if equipped) was shipped bolted inside the frame. Unbolt
the bracket and reattach on the outside of the frame. The
boom should be attached to the sprayer frame by center-
ing the center section on the frame and securing with the
bolts and pads as shown in Figure A2.
Attaching ”Defender” Sprayer to Tractor
Before attaching the sprayer to the tractor, determine the
category of your tractor hitch. The 50 and 100 gallon spray-
ers are equipped with a Cat. I hitch, while the 200 gallon
sprayer is equipped with a Cat. II/III hitch. The category
of the tractor and sprayer hitch must be the same for the
sprayer to mount properly.
Back the tractor to the sprayer. Make sure that other people
are clear of the area.
Pin the lower lift arms of the tractor 3 point hitch to the lower
hitches of the sprayer. Pin the top link to the sprayer top
hitch. Adjust the top link, if necessary, to level the sprayer
when it is in the operating position.
Make sure the tractor engine is shut o󰀨 before sliding the
pump coupler on the PTO shaft. The Hypro roller pumps
and CDS/John Blue diaphragm pump are designed to op-
erate at 540 RPM. Mount the pump to the 540 RPM shaft
(usually a 1 3/8”, 6 spline shaft). If the pump is equipped
with a quick coupler, pull the coupler collar back as the
coupler is slid on the PTO shaft. Release the collar and slide
the pump until the coupler snaps into place on the shaft.
Secure the pump chain around the tractor drawbar to pre-
vent the pump from spinning with PTO shaft.
Figure A1
Shipping Assembly
Do not stand between the sprayer and a moving tractor.
Doing so could cause serious injury or death.
Set tractor brake and place in park or shut o
engine before securing hitch pins.
Shut the tractor engine o before mounting the
pump to the PTO shaft. Failure to do so could
allow the PTO shaft to engage causing
serious injury or death.

Preparing Sprayer for Operation
Add about 10 gallons of water to the spray tank. Do not
add any chemical until the sprayer has been checked for
proper operation. Do not install spray tips in the nozzle
bodies until the lines have been ushed.
Open the suction valve located beside the line strainer.
(Ball valves are open when the handle is in line with the
hose attached to the valve.) Check for any leaks from the
tank to the pump. Any uid leak on the suction side of the
pump will result in an air leak when the pump is started.
Check to see that the Hypro control valves are in the “o󰀨”
position (see Figure A5). Engage the PTO shaft (or start
the engine) to start the pump. Water should be returning
to the tank through the return line.
In order to check the operation of the boom or boomless
nozzles, ip the valve handle “up” that supplies the boom.
Water should be owing from the boom nozzles or the
boomless nozzle. Allow the water to ow for a few moments
to ush any debris from the lines.
Rotate the valve handle to open the valve that supplies the
trigger gun. Engage the trigger gun. Check for any leaks
in the sprayer system.
The operating pressure is set by adjusting the pressure relief
valve (green knob) located on the top of the Hypro control valve.
Tighten the pressure relief valve to increase the pressure.
Example: To set the pressure for the trigger gun, engage
the valve handle and the trigger gun. Note the pressure
gauge. To increase pressure, screw the pressure adjusting
knob “clockwise”; to decrease pressure, screw the knob
“counterclockwise”.
Maximum pressure for the 7560 Hypro pump is 300 psi.
Maximum pressure for the CDS/John Blue gear pump
is 200 psi. Do not set the pressure relief valve for a
higher setting than these recommended pressures.
Pump damage could result.

Add the desired amount of water or fertilizer to the sprayer
tank. Add the correct amount of chemical to the sprayer
tank. Read the instructions on the chemical container for
details regarding the proper amount of chemical to add.
Assure the control valve is “o󰀨” before starting the pump.
Engage the pump and let the pump run for a few minutes
to thoroughly mix the solution.
Some “Defender” sprayers are equipped with an agitator.
The agitator valve should be opened to keep chemicals in
proper suspension. Turn the valve parallel with the valve
to open the agitator. If the boom or gun does not come up
to proper operating pressure after adjusting the pressure
regulating knob (green knob), partially close the agitator
valve to raise the pressure.

Defender Sprayer Operation
Boom or Boomless Nozzle Operation
Move the sprayer to the area to be sprayed. Level the sprayer
in the spraying position by adjusting the tractor top link.
Unfold the boom to the extended position. Be sure that all
people and animals are clear of the spray zone. Engage the
boom/boomless nozzle valves on the Hypro manual valve.
Tip charts are included for booms and boomless nozzles.
The boom tip chart shows the rates for a typical TeeJet
broadcast tapered spray nozzle (11002VS [yellow] tip is
standard for the boom on Defender sprayers; the #10
boomless nozzle is standard without a boom). Refer to the
specic tip chart if a specialty nozzle is used.
Spray Boom Example: Select the section of the chart for
11002VS (yellow) tips. The ground conditions will allow
you to spray at 5 mph. You want to apply 10.3 GPA of the
spray chemical. The chart shows that you want to set the
control for 30 PSI. A variety of pressure/ speed combina-
tions can be used to apply a given rate.
The Defender Boom is equipped with spring breakaways
which will help protect the boom if an obstruction is hit, but
care should be taken to not contact humans or animals
with the boom.
Defender Operation
Use a similar procedure to set the pressure of the “boomless”
nozzle. Generally, pressure for the “boomless” nozzle does
not exceed 50 psi. It is necessary to reset the pressure when
changing between “boomless” nozzle and the trigger gun.
If the “Defender” is equipped with a boom, install the tips,
screens and caps as shown in Fig. A7. Make sure the spray
pattern of the tip is in line with the boom so the spray pattern
will overlap between adjacent tips. The tip screen is the nal
lter before the uid passes through the tip. If a single nozzle
does not spray a proper pattern, the tip screen should be
checked and cleaned.

Always wear protective clothing, i.e. apron, face shield,
gloves and respirator, when handling any chemicals.
Failure to do so will risk chemical exposure to your
body resulting in sickness, injury or possibly death.

All Sprayers Maintenance
All Sprayers Maintenance
Line Strainer Cleaning
From time to time it may be necessary to clean the line
strainer. The line strainer is located in the hose between
the spray tank and the pump. With the tractor or engine
turned o󰀨, close the ball valve beside the strainer. Unscrew
the bowl from the strainer base. Remove and clean the
screen. Check for any damage to the screen that would
allow debris to get to the pump and nozzles. Empty and
rinse the bowl. Replace the bowl and screen. Make sure
that the gasket/o-ring that seals the bowl to the base is not
lost when cleaning. Open the ball valve before starting the
pump. Many strainers are equipped with a drain plug that
can be removed to drain the suction lines (with ball valve
closed) or the spray tank (with ball valve open).
Cleaning Nozzles
While the line strainer usually keeps the system clean,
it is possible for foreign matter to clog the trigger gun or
nozzles.
Turn the tractor or engine o󰀨 before cleaning any nozzles.
Wear chemically resistant rubber gloves.
To clean the trigger gun nozzle, engage the trigger gun to
relieve any pressure. Remove the cap at the end of the
barrel to access the tip. The tip should be cleaned with a
brush such as a TeeJet tip cleaning brush. Do not use a
pocket knife, wire or screwdriver to clear the nozzle. The tip
could be damaged, resulting in an improper spray pattern.
In order to clean the “boomless” nozzle, remove the nozzle
from the stand. Use compressed air to blow debris from
the nozzle. Do not use pocket knives, wire or screwdrivers.
Clean the boom nozzles by removing the nozzle cap. Re-
move the tip screen and clean it as needed. The tip should
be cleaned with a brush such as a TeeJet tip cleaning
brush. Do not use a pocket knife, wire or screwdriver to
clear the nozzle. The tip could be damaged, resulting in
an improper spray pattern.
Chemically resistant rubber gloves must be worn
when cleaning the line strainer. Failure to do so
could result in chemical exposure
causing serious injury.
End of Day Procedure
Some corrosive chemicals require the pump to be ushed
with clean water to prevent pump damage. Add 5-10 gal-
lons of clean water to an empty spray tank. Turn the pump
on and apply this ush solution to a safe area.
Check the sprayer for any leaks or damaged parts. Repair
or replace as necessary.
Operation during cold weather may require protecting
the sprayer from freeze damage. See the next section for
instructions.
End of Season Procedure
Thoroughly ush the complete system with clean water.
Flush the trigger gun as well as the boom nozzles. Dis-
pose of the ush solution by spraying a safe area. Check
the chemical container label for any special instructions.
To protect the sprayer from freezing, one of two procedures
should be followed: draining the system or ushing with
anti-freeze solution.
Draining the sprayer
With the spray tank empty, remove the strainer bowl to
drain water from the suction side of the pump. Some styles
of pumps are equipped with a drain plug. Remove this
plug to allow the pump to drain. If the sprayer is equipped
with a roller pump, operate the pump for 3-5 seconds to
purge any water from the pump. Lay the trigger hose out
at, open the control valve, lock the trigger gun open and
allow the water to drain from the gun. Open other lines to
allow any water to drain.
Flushing with anti-freeze
Add a few gallons of anti-freeze solution (such as camper
trailer anti-freeze) to the spray tank. Start the pump and
open the valves to ush both the trigger gun and boom.
This procedure is the most complete way to protect the
sprayer from freezing.
Cast iron roller pumps need the further protection of 30 wt.
motor oil for lubrication. Add a small amount of oil to the
suction side of the pump. Turn the pump several revolu-
tions to apply a protective oil lm inside the pump housing.

LGS-50 Introduction
Introduction
LGS-50F Sprayer
(with 14’ boom)
Your Wylie LGS-50 Sprayer was manufactured to the high-
est standards of quality. It is necessary though, to check
to make sure that nothing was damaged during shipping.
Check bolts and fasteners for tightness. Check the pump
and plumbing for any signs of damage. The owner’s manual
is stored in the manual tube. Read and understand the
manual before operating the LGS-50 sprayer.
LGS-50 Sprayer Inspection & Setup
The LGS-50 trailer sprayer may require some minor as-
sembly. If shipped via motor freight, the tongue, control
stand and boom may be shipped strapped to the sprayer.
Bolt the control stand to the frame and bolt the tongue to
the control stand and frame as shown in Figure B1. Secure
the controller to the stand bracket.

Attach the at fold boom to the mount bracket with the U-
bolts at the desired height. Fit the supply hose to the “T”
hosebarb and secure with a hose clamp.
Preparing Sprayer for Operation
Add about 10 gallons of water to the spray tank. Do not
add any chemical until the sprayer has been checked for
proper operation. Do not install spray tips in the nozzle
bodies until the lines have been ushed.
Open the gate valve located beside the line strainer. Check
for any leaks from the tank to the pump. Any uid leak on
the suction side of the pump will result in an air leak when
the pump is started.
Check to see that the Hypro control valves are in the “o󰀨”
position (see Figure B4). Start the engine to engage the
pump. Water should be returning to the tank through the
return line.
In order to check the operation of the boom or boomless
nozzles, rotate the valve handle “up” that supplies the
boom. Water should be owing from the boom nozzles
or the boomless nozzle. Allow the water to ow for a few
moments to ush any debris from the lines.
Turn the boom o󰀨 and rotate the valve handle of the valve
that supplies the trigger gun. Engage the trigger gun. Check
for any leaks in the sprayer gun system.
The operating pressure is set by adjusting the pressure relief
valve (green knob) located on the top of the Hypro control
valve. Tighten the pressure relief valve to increase the pressure.
Example: To set the pressure for the trigger gun, engage
the valve handle and the trigger gun. Note the pressure
gauge. To increase pressure, screw the pressure adjusting
knob “clockwise”; to decrease pressure, screw the knob
“counterclockwise”.
Note: Maximum pressure for the Hypro roller pump
is 150 psi.
Install the tips, screens and caps as shown in Fig. B6. Make
sure the spray pattern of the tip is in line with the boom so
the spray pattern will overlap between adjacent tips. The tip
screen is the nal lter before the uid passes through the
tip. If a single nozzle does not spray a proper pattern, the
tip screen should be checked and cleaned.

Always wear protective clothing, i.e. apron, face shield,
gloves and respirator, when handling any chemicals.
Failure to do so will risk chemical exposure to your
body resulting in sickness, injury or possibly death.

Add the desired amount of water or fertilizer to the sprayer
tank. Add the correct amount of chemical to the sprayer
tank. Read the instructions on the chemical container for
details regarding the proper amount of chemical to add.
The LGS-50 sprayer may be equipped with an agitator.
The agitator valve should be opened to keep chemicals in
proper suspension. Turn the valve parallel with the valve
to open the agitator. If the boom or gun does not come up
to proper operating pressure, partially close the agitator
valve to raise the pressure.
Assure the control valve is “o󰀨” before starting the pump.
Engage the pump and let the pump run for a few minutes
to thoroughly mix the solution.
Boom Operation
Move the sprayer to the area to be sprayed. Unfold the
boom to the extended position. Be sure that all people and
animals are clear of the spray zone. Engage the boom/
boomless nozzle valves on the Hypro manual valve.

Tip charts are included for booms on Page 9. The boom
tip chart shows the rates for a typical TeeJet broadcast
tapered spray nozzle (11002VS [yellow] tip is standard for
the boom on LGS-50 sprayers). Refer to the specic tip
chart if a specialty nozzle is used.
Spray Boom Example: Select the section of the chart for
11002VS (yellow) tips. The ground conditions will allow
you to spray at 5 mph. You want to apply 10.3 GPA of the
spray chemical. The chart shows that you want to set the
control for 30 PSI. A variety of pressure/ speed combina-
tions can be used to apply a given rate.
Contact the Wylie Spray Center if a di󰀨erent size or style
of nozzle is needed.
The LGS-50 Boom is equipped with spring breakaways which
will help protect the boom if an obstruction is hit, but care should
be taken to not contact humans or animals with the boom.
Hand Spray Gun Operation
To operate the hand spray gun, unroll the hand spray gun
hose from the hose wrap. With the boom control valve
turned “o󰀨”, rotate the hand spray gun control valve “on”.
With the hand spray gun pointed away from any person or
body part, squeeze the trigger. Adjust the pressure regulat-
ing knob (green knob) to set the desired pressure.
See Page 10 for maintenance and end of day/season
procedure.

Preparing Sprayer for Operation
Add about 10 gallons of water to the spray tank. Do not add
any chemical until the sprayer has been checked for proper
operation. Do not install spray tips in the nozzle bodies on
the boom until the lines have been ushed.
Open the gate valve located beside the line strainer. Check
for any leaks from the tank to the pump. Any uid leak on
the suction side of the pump will result in an air leak when
the pump is started.
Check to see that the Hypro control valves are in the “o󰀨”
position (see Figure C6). Flip the toggle switch “on”. The
Remco pump will operate until the on-demand switch turns
the pump o󰀨 at 60 psi.
The operating pressure is set by adjusting the pressure relief
valve (green knob) located on the top of the Hypro control valve.
Tighten the pressure relief valve to increase the pressure.
Example: To set the pressure for the trigger gun, engage
the valve handle and the trigger gun. Note the pressure
gauge. To increase pressure, screw the pressure adjust-
ing knob “in”; to decrease pressure, screw the knob “out”.
Utility Inspection & Setup
Note: The pressure for the 12 volt Remco pump can
only be adjusted up to the preset pressure (60 psi) of
the pump switch.
In order to check the operation of the optional Flat Fold
boom rotate the valve handle “up” that supplies the boom.
Water should be owing from the boom nozzles. Allow
the water to ow for a few moments to ush any debris
from the lines.
Install the tips, screens and caps as shown in Fig. C8. Make
sure the spray pattern of the tip is in line with the boom so
the spray pattern will overlap between adjacent tips. The tip
screen is the nal lter before the uid passes through the
tip. If a single nozzle does not spray a proper pattern, the
tip screen should be checked and cleaned.
The operating pressure is set by adjusting the pressure relief
valve (green knob) located on the top of the Hypro control
valve as shown in Fig. C7. Tighten the pressure relief valve to
increase the pressure.
