Page Testing the Sprayer (continued) There are () valves located on the valve & handgun bracket. One is a shut off for the boom, and the other is used to bypass solution back into the tank, thus decreasing the overall system's pressure. The bypass valve is the "pressure control" for the entire plumbing system. The more that valve is open the lower the pressure. Fully closed provides maximum pressure to your boom and/or handgun. You may now start the sprayer. Solution will begin spraying from the boom nozzles when the valve to that line is opened. Initially have the pressure line open to the tips so that the air which may be trapped in the line will be forced (or purged) out. Check the entire system for leaks. During the testing period, be sure to observe the spray pattern given by the spray nozzles. If there is any pattern distortion, it will be necessary to remove and clean the affected tips. 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. Operation & Calibration The performance of any agricultural chemical depends upon the proper application of the correct amount. Be sure that your equipment has been calibrated before spraying. The tips supplied as standard with the sprayer can be used for a wide variety of spraying applications. Other tip sizes are available for different coverages. The speed and pressure charts shown indicate the rates can be changed considerably by changing speed and pressure. The nozzles on the boom will spray a 0" wide swath. The proper nozzle height is 7" to 0" above the object being sprayed. 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). DO NOT EXCEED 0 M.P.H. AT ANYTIME 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. When you are ready to spray, mix chemicals per the chemical label's instructions. Add the proper amount of water/chemical to the tank. You may 'agitate' the mix in your tank by spraying the handgun inside the tank, thus mixing things around. You should now be ready to spray.

How much chemical must be mixed in the tank?. Rate of spray? (Gallons per Acre to be sprayed). What Pressure (p.s.i.) will be used?. Speed Traveled (m.p.h.) while spraying? - Refer to your chemical's label to determine the chemical mixture. - See the tip chart to determine the pressure to be used. The chart will also show the speed used when spraying. - If the towing vehicle does not have a speedometer, speed can be determined as per the directions. Determining the proper speed of the pulling vehicle can be done by marking off 00, 00, & 00 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. 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). The pressure can be set by running the sprayer with the boom nozzles 'on', and then adjusting the relief valve until the gauge reads the desired pressure. tice that the pressure will go up when the boom line is shut off. This is normal, and the pressure will return as before when you open the boom line. When selecting pressure from the tip chart, it is a good idea to try for the 0 or 0 p.s.i. range as this allows an excellent nozzle pattern. Spraying at 0 p.s.i. begins to break up the pattern, and at 0 p.s.i. you may notice some drift.

Maintenance During/After Spraying Periodically close the suction line valve. Check the line strainer and clean the screen. Always flush the entire plumbing system with water or a neutralizing agent, such as FIMCO Tank Neutralizer and Cleaner, after completing the spraying operation. Proper care and maintenance will prolong the life of your sprayer. 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. Information About The Sprayer In this pumping system, solution is drawn from the tank, and forced to a planned source, such as boom nozzles, or handgun. The pressure is controlled by opening/closing the valve which recirculates solution back into the tank.. #57570 Pump ( Volt, Amp,.8 gpm, 5 psi) "B" "A" 7 8 * 6 5. 5 Troubleshooting a.8 g.p.m. Pump: * 5.

(You will need to remove the pressure switch cap before doing this) If your pump runs when you do this, you know you will need to replace your pressure switch. Another thing you can try is to take apart the switch box on the lead wire assembly (#57) with the () phillips head screws, and 'hot-wire' it together. Take the () wires that are screwed to the rocker switch, off of the switch and twist them together. This will insure you are getting the full volts to the pump. If your pump runs after doing this, you will know that your lead wire assembly needs to be replaced. Pump runs, but does not prime: - Check line strainer (screen) at the inlet location, at the tank. You will need to unscrew the knurled nut to access this screen. (see exploded view later in this manual) The ON/OFF valve should be closed while performing this, to insure you do not lose any solution. Periodically take the screen at this location out and clean it. - Make sure the bypass line valve is closed, to allow the pressure to build up in your system. - Unscrew the head portion of your pump and remove the check valve assembly from inside. You need to make sure the O-Ring comes out with this piece as well. (See the exploded view to help identify these components) These pieces can be cleaned which, in most cases, will help restore some, if not most, of your prime. Soak this check valve in a solution of hot, soapy water. A good name-brand dishsoap works well for this. A little bit of 'scrubbing' with perhaps an old toothbrush may be required to actually break up any build-up that may be on the check valve. Rinse off the pieces and replace them back into your pump. Reassemble the pump. Hook it back up and test. Page 9.5.99.99 6.99 9.95..95.99 9.96.95
