Note: Stopping distance may vary depending on
the sprayer load and speed.
Setting the Cruise Control
If you press the switch to turn off the cruise
control and do not have your foot on the traction
pedal, the traction unit may suddenly stop and
cause you to lose control, possibly injuring you
or bystanders.
Ensure that you have you foot on the traction
pedal when you disengage the cruise control
using the switch.
1. Drive forward and attain the desired speed; refer
to Driving the Sprayer.
2. Press the top of the cruise control switch.
Note: The light on the switch illuminates.
3. Take your foot off the traction pedal.
Note: The sprayer will maintain the speed you set.
4. To release the cruise control, either place your foot
on the traction pedal and press the bottom of the
cruise control switch or remove your foot from the
traction pedal and press the brake pedal.
Note: The light on the switch turns off and the
traction control returns to the traction pedal.
Stopping the Engine
1. Press the brake to stop the sprayer.
2. Move all the controls to the Neutral position.
3. Set the parking brake.
4. Shift the throttle lever to the Idle position.
5. Turn the ignition key to the Off position.
6. Remove the key from the switch to prevent
someone from accidentally starting the engine.
New Sprayer Break-In
To provide proper performance and long sprayer life,
follow these guidelines for the first 100 operating hours:
• Check the fluid and engine oil levels regularly
and be alert for indications of overheating in any
component of the sprayer.
• After starting a cold engine, let it warm up for about
15 seconds before accelerating.
• Avoid hard braking situations for the first several
hours of new sprayer break-in operation. New
brake linings may not be at optimum performance
until several hours of use has caused the brakes to
become burnished (broken-in).
• Avoid racing the engine.
• Vary the sprayer speed during operation. Avoid fast
starts and quick stops.
• Refer to the Maintenance section for any special
low hour checks.
Adjusting the Booms to Level
The following procedure can be used to adjust the
hardstops on the center boom to keep the left and right
booms at level.
1. At the operator's position, turn the ignition key to
On to energize the system.
2. Move the booms into position so that they are level
with the ground.
3. Remove the key and exit the operator's position.
4. At the hinge, adjust the position of the bumpers so
the boom can not move past level with the ground.
Take care to make sure the bumper is level.
5. Tighten the bolt and nut to lock the bumpers into
the adjusted position. Torque the fasteners to
135-165 ft-lbs (183-223 N-m).
Note: The bumper may experience some compression
over time. If the booms drop below level, use this
procedure to readjust the bumper position needed.
Operating the Sprayer
To operate the Multi-Pro Sprayer first fill the spray tank,
then apply the solution to the work area, and finally
clean the tank. It is important that you complete all
three of these steps in succession to avoid damaging the
sprayer. For example, do not mix and add chemicals in
the spray tank at night and then spray in the morning.
This would lead to separation of the chemicals and
possible damage to the sprayer components.
