Testing the Sprayer. Open the tank lid and be sure the tank is clean and free of foreign material. Fill the tank about / full with plain water. 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. CAUTION: Always be sure that water has reached the roller pump before starting your sprayer. If the pump is run dry, serious damage to the pump will result. Do not run your sprayer with the boom/handgun line closed AND the bypass line closed. Doing this will damage the pump.. Open the brass valve in the suction line and allow water to flow to the pump. The valve is located at this point to enable the strainer to be taken apart for cleaning, while solution remains in the tank.. It is always best to start the sprayer at little or no pressure. This sprayer is equipped with a spring loaded pressure relief/bypass valve. Turn the valve knob out to decrease pressure and in for increased pressure. The bypass valve is the "pressure control" for the entire plumbing system. The more that valve is open, the lower your line pressure. Almost fully closed provides maximum pressure to your boom and/or handgun. Never run your system with this valve 00% closed.. You may now start the sprayer engine following the engine manufacturers instructions. Let the sprayer run at low pressure until water has reached the handgun and all air has been purged from the system. 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.. 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. CAUTION: Care must be taken, being sure the handgun is secured in the operators hand. If this is not done a recoiling action may occur causing damage or personal injury. 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.. # (0C-0) -Roller Pump 0 (*) = s available only in spare parts kit # Page. * 00 * 00 * 0 00-0N 0-000 0-00 O-Ring Gasket Seal (Viton) Super Roller (-Roller Pump) Pump Model Sticker Rotor & Shaft Assembly Hollow Shaft (Only) End Plate Screw 0 00 0 00 0 0 000 0 00 Body w/seal End Plate Shaft Bearing Cover Bearing Cover Ball Bearing (Sealed) Collar Collar Set Screw /"-0 x /" Set Screw
