Assembly

Most of the sprayer has been assembled at the factory.
Join the center boom member to the boom mounts with the bolts
and nuts provided. Make sure the outer boom members fold
'backwards'. See exploded view later in this manual for reference.
Attach the boom feeder hose to the boom. Secure in place with a
hose clamp provided.

Testing the Sprayer

Open the tank lid and be sure the tank is clean and free of foreign
material. Fill the tank about 1/2 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.
Before starting, open the suction line valve. (located near the
pump) Check for leaks.
Open the valve for the boom. Make sure your pattern is sufficient.
You may decrease pressure in the system by 'bypassing' solution
back into the tank. This is achieved by opening the valve
opposite of the boom valve. Regulating pressure is done in this
manner.
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.
