using the Sprayer
• Determine the application rate (gallons per 1,000
sq. feet or gallons per acre) based on the chemical
manufacturers recommendations.
• Determine the approximate square footage of the area
to be sprayed and estimate the number of gallons
required. This can help avoid unneeded solution left in
the tank.
• Determine the appropriate speed at which to travel,
based on the chosen pressure setting and the
recommended application rate. Refer to the chart on
this page.
• Determine the throttle setting for attaining a specific
speed by marking off 100, 200 and 300 feet intervals.
The speed chart included in this manual indicates the
number of seconds it takes to travel these distances.
Set the throttle and, with a running start, travel the
distances in the number of seconds indicated by the
speed chart. Once you have determined the throttle and
gear settings needed, mark the throttle location so that
you can easily resume the same speed after stopping.

This chart is based on spraying at maximum pressure. Spraying at lower pressures will require traveling at slower speeds to
obtain the same results.

• To set the operating pressure add plain water to
the sprayer tank for testing. Open the boom valve
completely. For maximum usable spraying pressure,
close the bypass valve completely and then start
opening the valve until misting stops and a normal
spray pattern is obtained. Continue opening the valve if
a lower spraying pressure is desired. If the spray pattern
begins to break up, then the pressure is too low.
• Add the chemical solution to the tank, following the
product instructions.
• Drive to the starting place for spraying. Set the boom
in position for spraying. Set the throttle at the position
determined in step 4. Flip the sprayer's in-line switch to
the "ON" position to start spraying.
• Stay clear of flowers, shrubs and evergreen trees when
spraying weed control solutions to prevent contact of
the solution with these sensitive plants..
