  • Page 4 Dear Valued Customer, Congratulations on selecting and one of the finest and compact Ultra-Low-Volume (ULV), machines in the world. The is the newest in family of spraying equipment, and represents the latest in portable spray technology. The Mini-Lite was developed to provide a powerful yet affordable multi-purpose machine in a portable, lightweight package.
  • Page 5 TYPE : Low Operating cost Aerosol Generator, Non Thermal Insecticide, Ultra-Low-Volume (ULV). Using adequate flow rate will produce larger droplets (mister). ENGINE : Tanaka Purefire , 2-cycle, 40 cc, low emission, 1.8 HP. Gasoline consumption : 26.7 oz/hour (800 ml/hour) approx. Operating Speed : 8,500 RPM HOURMETER TACHOMETER:...
  • Page 6 is powered by a 40cc Tanaka 2-cycle gasoline engine. The Mini-Lite is designed to offer a Low operational cost with a complete and compact aerosol generator. The engine and blower assembly are mounted on a lightweight steel tubular frame with vibration isolators between them. The Engine is used to belt drive a 3-stage High-Volume Blower.
  • Page 9 Uncrate the unit and remove all packing materials. NOTE: It is a good idea to retain the original machine shipping carton for storage. Place the remote control unit where it will not be damaged while the machine is being installed. Remove the machine from the shipping skid by removing the screws that retain the shipping brackets.
  • Page 10 Remove the machine from the skid and lift the machine onto the vehicle with the discharge end of the machine toward the rear of the vehicle. Pass the remote control unit through an open window (if any) and locate it within reach of the person operating the machine.
  • Page 11 : This machine uses gasoline mixed with 2-cycle oil as the fuel for the internal combustion engine and all precautions commonly applying to this volatile fuel should be observed. Exercise extreme caution to avoid spilling of gasoline. If spillage occurs, wipe it off and allow evaporation time before starting the engine.
  • Page 12 : In addition to any safety equipment that may be required by the type of formulation which is being used, the following items should be mandatory for each vehicle which carries this machine during fogging operations. a. Fire Extinguisher, chemical-type rated for fuel fires. b.

  • Page 13: Machine Operation

    MACHINE OPERATION CAUTION READ THIS COMPLETE OPERATION SECTION AND THE SECTION ON SAFETY PRECAUTIONS BEFORE STARTING THE MACHINE FOR THE FIRST TIME. For first time operation, the sections on MACHINE INSTALLATION and MACHINE OPERATION must be performed before proceeding with this section. When operating this machine for the first time, move to an uncongested and well- vented work area away from flammable materials.
  • Page 14 Verify that the remote control box is within easy reach of the operator. Verify that the boom is in the correct position as required for the spraying operation to be accomplished, and that the ring clamp which allows this positioning is tight. Verify that the engine has sufficient fuel and is properly lubricated.
  • Page 15 In order to achieve consistent results in generating aerosols with a Volume Median Diameter (VMD) in the sub 20 micron range, several variables must be kept under control at the same time. The ability of an aerosol generator to consistently break up a liquid into appropriate sized droplets depends on (3) key elements: The available energy flow (air flow) through the nozzle is governed by the blower speed.
  • Page 16 NOTE: Periodically calibrate the flowability meter using plain water. Water should flow through the orifice such that the time between the top line and the bottom line is 32 + 2 seconds. Once the flowability of the liquid has been measured, the following table can be used as an approximate guide for setting the Metering Valve for your spray application.
  • Page 17 Mini-Lite Use unleaded gasoline with an 89 octanes or higher rating. Use a quality two-cycle oil at mixing ratio of 50:1. (See right diagram) Always mix gasoline and oil in a separate clean container. Mix the gasoline thoroughly before filling the engine fuel tank. Read and understand operation manual before attempting to operate machine.
  • Page 18 WINDOW FOR EXHAUST GASES Turn OFF the spray switch at the remote control to stop the spray operation and remove energy to the solenoid valve. Move the engine kill switch to the stop (down) position. Keep all loose items (ie. Clothing, hair, jewelry, etc...) away from all moving parts. Many of the formulations which can be dispensed with this machine are highly toxic and require special safety equipment.
  • Page 19 The machine is equipped with a remote control unit that contains the Spray “ON/OFF” switch. SPRAY ON: Applies +12V DC and opens the 2-way solenoid valve to allow the flow of liquid. SPRAY OFF: Removes power and closes the 2-way solenoid valve to stop the flow of liquid.
  • Page 20 Refer to the flow tables provided with your machine to determine the proper valve setting to produce your desired flow rate. For easier procedure, the calibration is performed thru the flush line, as following: 1) Locate the machine in an open and well ventilated place.
  • Page 21 12) After passed the one minute, turn the Spray “OFF” and check the position of the liquid level or “final” mark (indicated as Mark (f) in next diagram). In the diagram, represents the internal diameter of the graduate cylinder. is the total volume of formulation added to the cylinder.
  • Page 22 The system must be flushed after each use to protect the equipment from the corrosive material in the formulation. The manual 3-way valve is used as a selector to route METERING either Formulation or Flushing solution from their VALVE respective tank/container to the nozzle. To flush the system, locate the machine in an open and 3-WAY VALVE...
  • Page 23 UNION ELBOW FROM FLUSH PLUMBING LONG TUBE FROM FLUSH PLUMBING PLASTIC NUTS FROM FLUSH PLUMBING SHORT TUBE FROM FLUSH PLUMBING PLASTIC NUTS FROM 2-WAY SOLENOID VALVE The electrical control system of the Spray could be down for reasons such as: discharged machine battery, broken remote control fuse, lost remote control or a broken solenoid valve.
  • Page 24 Maintenance, replacement or repair of the emission control devices and systems may be performed by any nonroad engine repair establishment or individual. In the carburetor, fuel is mixed with air. When the engine is tested at the factory, the carburetor is pre-set. When the Mini-Lite is tested at the factory, the engine working speed is basically adjusted.

  • Page 25: Fuel Filter

    Drain all fuel from the fuel tank and pull fuel filter line from tank. Pull filter element out of holder assembly and rinse element in warm water with detergent. Rinse thoroughly until all traces of detergent are eliminated. Squeeze, do not wring, away excess water and allow element to air dry.
  • Page 26 In order to obtain the appropriated blower speed and use low weight components, the Poly-V drive provide the best of all the power transmission , including the superior driving force of multiple V-belts without the matching problems associated with individual belts. To obtain the longer life of the belt transmission components, please follow the instructions indicated in this section.

  • Page 27: Belt Deflection

    Belt tension is highly important. When in operation both tight and slack strands of the belt should be in a straight line from sheave to sheave; a very small sag or bow could be acceptable at the slack strand. Check belt tension after eight (8) hours operation, followed by periodic inspections to be sure belt is under sufficient tension and that belt is not slipping or jumping from the groove.
  • Page 28 The Mini-Lite is equipped with a high performance rotary blower, including special features as following: Three-stage, 5.7" (145 mm) diameter. Air delivery: 99 CFM Unrestricted. Steel shaft mounted on double ball bearing. Thermoset fan end bracket. Aluminum (anodized) bearing housing. Aluminum commutator bracket.
  • Page 29 To perform a preliminary inspection, the machine has to be stopped and cold. Remove the three screws of the Belt Guard Assembly and take the guard off; Loose the four bolts that hold the Blower to the Upright Channel (vertical plate), move the blower down on the slides and remove the belt.
  • Page 30 The Intake Filter Assembly is mounted on the blower, and it is performing three main functions: • Dirt and other foreign particles are filtered from the incoming air by means of the reusable stainless steel element. • It works as a safety guard, avoiding the contact of body parts (as fingers) from rotary parts (fan/shaft end).
