Please read it carefully, as it furnishes information which will help you achieve years of trouble-free operation. Warranty/Parts/Service For home usage, products are warranted for one year from date of purchase against manufacturer or workmanship defects. Commercial users have a 90 day warranty.. Attach the tank to the brackets loosely as shown in the exploded view.. Place the sprayer onto the carrier rack of the ATV. Use the ubolts and hardware to secure the tank mount to the rack. 3. Connect the boom mounting brackets to the tank mounting brackets with hardware provided as shown. Note these brackets will be located about 6 /" apart on most ATV's. Now tighten all bolts and nuts.. Center the center section of the boom onto your boom mounts, and secure in place with the hardware provided. Be sure that the outer booms will fold 'backwards'. The boom should be about 7"-9" above the ground. 5. Attach the nozzle harness assembly to the boom. The threaded part of the nozzles are to be inserted through the hoses, and secured with the brass hex nuts provided. The end boom members should fold towards the rear of the sprayer.

Join the hose to the tee barb, then clamp in place with a hose clamp. 7. An additional set of plumbing fittings are included with your boom kit. These may or may not be used. Fig. A shows how these fittings will attach to your sprayer, providing your sprayer has the V pump mounted on the "top" of your tank. If your sprayer has the manifold assembly attached to the outlet side of the pump, as shown, you probably will need to utilize these fittings. For a top-mounted pump attachment to the tank, a 3/6" diameter hole must be drilled through the top of the tank for the grommet which has the bypass hose routed through it. After threading the fittings together, locate the place on your tank for the hole so that the hose can be inserted without causing kinks. CAUTION: Never use a metal object or other sharp item for cleaning a nozzle tip. It is better to use a nozzle brush (NOT wire brush) or compressed air for tip cleaning. 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 (this is the center ON/OFF valve located at the center port of your manifold assembly) and opening the boom line valve (this is the 'other' valve on the manifold). 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!

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 00, 00, & 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. After Spraying 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 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 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. Page

Misc. Information Typical Spray Pattern (7-Nozzle Boom) Deluxe Boom Diaphragm Nozzle Attachment to Boom Member Boom Member Diaphragm Nozzle Assembly Nozzle Assembly Installed onto Boom 0 5 9 Manifold Spacer Attachment NOTE: To install the manifold spacer, remove one screw holding the pump to the tank (upper left location as you're looking at the pump) and place the spacer between the manifold and the pump's foot. Replace original screw with the -/" long machine screw, feeding it through the slot in the manifold and through the spacer, thus securing the manifold. This does not apply to units that use a.0 gpm pump. Page 5
