Testing the Sprayer

NOTE:

It is VERY important for you to test your sprayer with

plain water before actual spraying is attempted. This

will enable you to check the sprayer for leaks, without

the possibility of losing any expensive chemicals.

Add water to the tank & drive to the starting place for

spraying. When you are ready to spray, turn the boom

valve to the "on" position. This will start solution spraying

from the tips of the boom. The pressure will decrease

slightly when the boom is spraying. Adjust the pressure by

turning the "ON/OFF" valve lever on the bypass line valve.

Read the operating instructions, and Initially begin spraying

by closing the 'bypass' valve and opening the boom line

valve. This will enable the air in the line to be eliminated

(purged) through all the tips, while building pressure. When

everything tests all right (no leaks, & good pressure), add

the desired chemicals to the mixture and water

combination and start your spraying operation. Adjust the

pressure and spray as you did in the testing procedure.

Conditions of weather and terrain must be considered

when setting the sprayer. Do not spray on windy days.

Protective clothing must be worn in some cases.

Be sure to read the chemical label(s) correctly!

After use, fill the sprayer tank part way with water. Start

the sprayer, and allow the clear water to be pumped

through the plumbing system and out through the spray

nozzles.

Refill the tank about half full with plain water and use a

chemical neutralizer, such as 'Nutra-Sol', or equivalent,

and repeat cleaning instructions above. A mix of water

and some detergent, such as 'Dawn' dish soap would be a

sufficient alternative.

Flush the entire sprayer with the neutralizing/cleaning

agent, then flush out one more time with plain water.

Follow the chemical manufacturer's disposal instructions

of all wash or rinsing water.

For the boom, (if applicable) remove the tips and screens

from the nozzle assemblies. Wash these items out

thoroughly. Blow the orifice clean and dry. If the orifice

remains clogged, clean it with a fine bristle (NOT WIRE)

brush, or with a toothpick. Do not damage the orifice.

Water rinse and dry the tips before storing.

WARNING: Some chemicals will damage the pump

valves if allowed to soak untreated for a length of

time! ALWAYS flush the pump as instructed after

each use.

After Spraying

Calibration

Chemical labels may show application rates in gallons per

acre, gallons per 1000 square feet, or gallons per 100

square feet. You will note that the tip chart shows all 3 of

these rating systems.

Once you know how much you are going to spray, then

determine (from the tip chart) the spraying pressure (PSI),

and the spraying speed (MPH).

Determining the proper speed of the pulling vehicle can

be done by marking off 100, 200, & 300 feet. The speed

chart indicates the number of seconds it takes to travel

the distances. Set the throttle and with a running start,

travel the distances. Adjust the throttle until you travel the

distances in the number of seconds indicated by the

speed chart. Once you have reached the throttle setting

needed, mark the throttle location so you can stop and go

again, returning to the same speed.

Add water and proper amount of chemical to the tank and

drive to the starting place for spraying.

Winter Storage

Drain all water out of your sprayer, paying special

attention to the pump, handgun, and valve(s). These items

are especially prone to damage from chemicals and

freezing weather.

The sprayer should be winterized before storage by

pumping a solution of RV antifreeze through the entire

plumbing system. This antifreeze solution should remain

in the plumbing system during the winter months. When

spring time comes and you are preparing your sprayer for

the spray season, rinse the entire plumbing system out,

clearing the lines of the antifreeze solution. Proper care

and maintenance will prolong the life of your sprayer.
