SAFETY
1. Read this owners manual and the vehicle owners manual before
using this sprayer.
2. Never allow children to operate this sprayer.
3. Do not allow anyone to ride on or sit on this sprayer.
4. Keep the area clear of all persons, especially small children.
5. Read the chemical label before handling or mixing chemicals.
6. Wear eye and hand protection and protective clothing when
handling and applying lawn chemicals.
7. Do not spray on windy days.
8. Be aware of your tractor's capabilities. Attaching this sprayer
may affect your tractor's braking and stability.
9. STAY OFF STEEP SLOPES. Refer to the vehicle owner's
manual concerning safe operation on slopes.
10. Operate at reduced speed on rough terrain, along ditches and
on hillsides to prevent loss of control.
ASSEMBLY
The meanings of symbols used in the illustrations are as follows:
Do not tighten yet.

Refer to the application chart below to help determine the
speed required to achieve the manufacturers recommended
application rate.

4. Use plain water to set the correct boom spraying pressure. Turn
the boom valve "ON". Adjust the bypass valve between the "HI"
and "LOW" pressure settings so that a steady spray pattern is
obtained. If the spray pattern begins to break up, the pressure is
too tow. If misting occurs, the pressure is too high.
5. Add the chemical solution to the tank, following the
manufacturers recommendations.
6. Set the boom arms for spraying. Slide the boom bars out to the
ends of the slots so that the nozzles are about 40" (1 m) apart.
Adjust the height of the nozzles to about 14" (35 cm)above the
ground.
Tighten now.
OPERATION
PUMP PRESSURE SWITCH
The pump pressure switch turns off the pump when it reaches its
maximum pressure setting. Very low flow demand may cause the
switch to rapidly cycle the pump on and off. Avoid prolonged periods
of rapid, continuous cycling.
ON=OFF VALVE
The ON-OFF valve shuts off the flow to the boom nozzles.
ADJUSTABLE SPRAY GUN NOZZLE
Twisting the nozzle wilt adjust the spray pattern from a cone shaped
mist to a solid stream.
BEFORE STARTING
1. Attach the sprayer to the tractor hitch.
2. Connect the red wire of the pump cable to the positive terminal
("+") and the brown wire to the negative terminal ("-").
3. Check for leaks using plain water. Fix leaking fittings with thread
tape.
CAUTION: Connect to a 12 V battery only.
USING THE SPRAYER
CAUTION: Wear eye and hand protection and protective
clothing when handling and working with lawn chemicals.
1. Determine the application rate (gallons per 1,000 sq. feet)
based on the chemical manufacturers recommendations.
2. Estimate the size of the area to be sprayed and the amount
of solution that will be needed. This can help avoid unneeded
solution left in the tank.

7. Begin spraying, making each pass so that the spray pattern
slightly overlaps the spray pattern from the previous pass.
8. Stay clear of flowers, shrubs and evergreen trees when
spraying to prevent contact of the solution with these sensitive
plants.
USING THE SPRAY GUN
9. Shut off the boom by turning the boom valve to "OFF".
MAINTENANCE
AFTER EACH USE
1. Fill the sprayer part way with water and pump the water
out through the boom assembly and the handgun. Use the
handgun to wash the inside of the tank.
2. Refill the tank about half full with water and a chemical
neutralizer solution and repeat the cleaning instructions
above. Follow the manufacturers instructions for disposal of all
chemicals.
AS NEEDED
3. Periodically clean the tank strainer on the end d the intake hose.
Remove the nylon swivel nut from the hose, pull out the screen
and flush it with water.
4. Periodically clean the strainers in the boom nozzles. Remove the
nozzle, pull out the screen and flush it with water.
WINTER STORAGE
5. Drain all water out of the sprayer, especially the pump and
handgun. These items are prone to damage from freezing
temperatures.
6. Winterize the sprayer by pumping a 50-50 solution of water and
R. V. antifreeze through the boom assembly and the hand gun.
