CAUTIONS and WARNINGS Read and thoroughly understand the Cautions and Warnings contained throughout this manual, on the machine and on the Formulation manufacturer's label. Failure to comply with all Cautions and Warnings could result in severe bodily injury or death. Never operate the machine with the Atomizer Guards removed and always wear safety goggles when standing near the machine.
FMI pump (standard on the Dyna-Jet L30) is capable of producing up to 20 oz/min (591 ml/min). Consult Curtis Dyna-Fog for applications requiring more than 14 oz/min. When equipped with the Radar Syncroflow™, pump flow rate is automatically controlled in relationship to vehicle speed without changing the pump setting.
1-2 hours using a fully charged battery with at least a 115 amp hour capacity. A deep-cycle battery with the following specifications will best handle repeated charging and discharging: Curtis Dyna-Fog, Ltd. can supply a Cranking Amps: 750 quality deep-cycle battery. Click on...
For Vehicle Mounted Operation - For continuous operation connected to vehicle charging system To eliminate the need to recharge the deep-cycle battery, the machine must be connected to the vehicles battery being charged by the vehicles alternator. The Dyna-Jet L30 requires a rate of charge of 30 amps at 13 VDC (when measured at the sprayers deep-cycle battery).
Battery Charging Tips Warning Batteries produce combustible gases that can explode! Always read and follow the instructions given by the battery manufacturer’s label and on the battery charging device. Always wear proper safety equipment (Safety Goggles, Rubber Gloves, etc…) when handling and charging batteries. Why charge batteries? Batteries are not 100% efficient;...

Cyberdyne Digital Battery Gauge Low Voltage Indicator When battery voltage reaches a level that is too low, the meter flash on and off. When this happens, battery voltage is at 11.0 volts indicating that the battery is either not receiving sufficient charge or the battery needs charged or replaced.
Pump Calibration- (For the Dyna-Jet Model L30 without the Syncroflow System) Before attempting to spray, the FMI pump must be calibrated to the proper flow rate setting. The required flow rate is dictated by the information on the formulation manufacturer's label. Calibration is performed using the "Calibration Switch"...
5) With the tube placed in the beaker, press and hold the calibration switch and watch for all air bubbles to be evacuated from the tubing. Release the button and empty the beaker back into the formulation tank. 6) Place the tube back into the empty beaker and press and hold the Calibration Switch for 20 seconds and then release the switch.

The voltage should be between 12.8 and 13.8 Volts DC. If the voltage is in this range and the speed is lower than 28,000 rpm, contact a Curtis Dyna-Fog, Ltd. representative. NOTE: If the voltage is too low, make sure the battery is properly charged and that all electrical connections on the machine and the vehicle are correct.
Optional Radar Syncroflow System When equipped, the Curtis Radar Syncroflow System allows the dispensing of formulation to be either a constant flow (AManual@) regardless of vehicle speed, or a variable flow (ASyncroflow@) which is correlated to vary proportionately with vehicle speeds from 4 to 20 m.p.h.
Flush for 2-3 minutes. Use only ® Dyna-Fog flushing solution, or a Curtis Dyna-Fog approved flushing agent such as Aire-Mate Flushing Solution (Specify Part No. 1-0224). Click on the following hyperlink to go to www.airemate.com...

Cleaning the Atomizer's Porous Sleeve When properly maintained, your Dyna-Jet L30 atomizer will produce spray droplet sizes suitable for all approved labeled formulations registered for use for Mosquito Control and Fly Control. While the formulation pump is capable of producing up to 20 oz/min (591 ml/min) for special applications, the FMI pump has been governed to produce a maximum flow of 14 oz/min (414 ml/min).
3-Way Valve Assembly (INSTRUCTIONS FOR REBUILDING AND CLEANING) 1. Using a screwdriver, snap off the retaining clip, which secures the coil assembly. 2. Remove the retaining clip. 3. Slide the coil off the valve body, and using a spanner nut (P/N 62650-15), remove the core housing for cleaning or rebuilding.
2-way Valve Assembly Valve Disassembly Valve Reassembly 1. Lubricate all gaskets with high-grade silicone grease. 2. Torque end cap to 175 ± 25 in-lbs [8,5 ± 1,1 Nm] 3. Replace solenoid base gasket, core assembly with core spring and solenoid base sub-assembly or plugnut/core tube sub-assembly and valve bonnet.
Maintaining the L30 Atomizer Several design factors are in place to help you maximize the life of the atomizer assembly. Some factors are: ➢ The atomizer is precision balanced. The rough depressions on the face of the atomizer are normal. These are the spots that were removed during balancing to equalize the mass of the assembly while it is rotating.

FUSE BLOCK Protective devices like Fuses and Circuit Breakers are included to protect against short-circuits and/or overload currents. The general idea of the fuse is that it melts a conductive link when current gets higher than its rating and thus stops the current flowing. The Circuit Breaker is a thermal device used in the motor distribution system for protecting against overload and short-circuits in the system.
Vehicle Electrical Installation Kit P/N-65287 The kit contains a circuit breaker to protect from excessive current being drawn from the vehicle’s electrical system, and also provide a safe and easy way to switch the voltage from the vehicle’s battery “off” to facilitate the removal of the sprayer.

Once the components and atomizer have been mounted, and the path to route the cable has been chosen, the 6-gauge cable can be cut to length allowing a few extra inches for movement and serviceability. After it is cut, the cable’s insulation should be stripped to expose .375 (3/8”) to .500 (1/2”) of conductor to be inserted into the ring terminals at each end.

• STEP #3 PREPARING CABLES With the cables routed and secured, they may now be cut to length. The black cable must run from the negative (-) post on the vehicle battery to the negative (-) post on the atomizer battery. The red positive cable will go from the atomizer battery positive (+) post to the “AUX”...

• STEP #6 FINAL CONNECTION Be sure that both the vehicle and atomizer batteries are in a fully charged condition, check that the breaker is still “OPEN”. You are now ready to make the last connection of the short red cable to the vehicle battery positive (+) post using one of the adapters provided.
