Spray Tip Rate Chart(20" Spacing)

110° wide, tapered flat spray angle with air induction technology for better drift management. Made of 2-piece UHMWPE polymer

construction which provides excellent chemical resistance, including acids, as well as exceptional wear life. Compact size to

prevent tip damage. Removable pre-orifice. Excellent for systemic products and drift management.

OperationYour sprayer is equipped with (1) ON/OFF switch. It is on the wire assembly that you hook up to your battery. The "-" is the "ON" position and the "o" is the "OFF" position for the switch. Make sure the switch is depressed in the "-" position for operation.

The pump is equipped with an electronic pressure switch that is factory pre-set for it to shut off at 60 p.s.i.. This switch assembly is the 'square box' on the head portion of the pump.

Always fill the tank with a desired amount of water first, and then add the chemical slowly, mixing as you pour the chemical into the tank. You may use the handgun to spray into the solution in order to mix the chemical and water.

The pumping system draws solution from the tank, through the strainer/filter, and to the pump. The pump forces the solution under pressure to the handgun and/or boom nozzles.

Open the handgun by squeezing the handle lever.•

Rotating the adjustable nozzle tip on the handgun will change •the tip pattern from a straight stream to a cone pattern (finer mist).

This sprayer is designed to be towed behind a garden tractor.

The nozzles on the boom will spray an 100 inch wide swath. Check the nozzle pattern by spraying water on a concrete surface. Raise the boom to a higher mounting position to get more spray pattern overlap, if desired.

CalibrationChemical 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.

Testing the SprayerNOTE: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!

WARNING: Some chemicals will damage the pump valves if allowed to soak untreated for a length of time. ALWAYS thoroughly flush the pump with water after use. DO NOT allow chemicals to sit in the pump for extended times of idleness. Follow the chemical manufacturer's instructions on disposal of all waste water from the sprayer.

After SprayingAfter 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 FIMCO Tank Neutralizer and Cleaner, and repeat cleaning instructions above.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.

Winter StorageDrain 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.
