Filling the Spray Tank
Important: Ensure that the chemicals you will be using
are compatible for use with Viton (see the manufacturer's
label; it should indicate if it is not compatible). Using a
chemical that is not compatible with Viton will degrade
the O-rings in the sprayer, causing leaks.
Important: Verify that the proper application rate has
been set prior to filling the tank with chemicals.
1. Stop the sprayer on a level surface, move the range
selector to the Neutral position, stop the engine, and
set the parking brake.
2. Ensure that the tank drain valve is closed.
3. Determine the amount of water needed to mix the
amount of chemical you need as prescribed by the
chemical manufacturer.
4. Open the tank cover on the spray tank.
The tank cover is located in the center of the top of
the tank (Figure 23). To open it, turn the front half of
the cover counterclockwise and swing it open. You
can remove the strainer inside for cleaning. To seal the
tank, close the cover and rotate the front half clockwise.

Important: Always use fresh clean water in the
spray tank. Do not pour concentrate into an empty
tank.
6. Start the engine; increase engine speed (press the
accelerator pedal) to approximately 1/2 throttle.
7. Set the pump switch to the On position.
8. Press the accelerator pedal to the floor and set the
neutral engine speed lock to the On position.
9. Set the master spray lever to the Off position.
10. Turn the agitation control valve to the 9 o'clock
position to start agitation in the tank.
11. Add the proper amount of chemical concentrate to the
tank, as directed by the chemical manufacturer.
Important: If you are using a wettable powder,
mix the powder with a small amount of water to
form a slurry before adding it to the tank
12. Add the remaining water to the tank.
Operating the Booms
The boom lift switches on the sprayer control panel allows
you to move the booms between transport position and
spray position without leaving the Operator's seat. It is
recommended to change boom positions while the machine
is stationary.
To change the boom position:
1. Stop the sprayer on level ground.
2. Use the boom lift switches to lower booms. Wait until
the booms reach the full, extended spray position.
