Spraying
Important: In order to ensure that your solution remains well mixed, use the agitation feature
whenever you have solution in the tank. For agitation to work, the pump must be on and the engine
must be running at high idle. If the vehicle is stopped and agitation is needed, leave the motion
control lever in the Neutral position, set the parking brake, increase the throttle to the FAST position,
and turn on the pump.
Note: Agitation is not meant to be used while spraying. Shut off the agitation to ensure proper spray pressure
and distribution. There is some agitation even with the agitation in the "OFF" position.
Spraying Tips:
• Do Not overlap the effective spray area that you have previously sprayed (see Figure 16).
1. Overlap-narrow
2. Effective spray area
3. Forward
4. Overlap-wide
5. 8 ft (2.4 m)
• Watch for plugged nozzles.
• Disengage spray control levers to stop the spray flow before stopping the motion of the sprayer. Once
stopped, leave the motion control lever in neutral and keep the agitation running.
• Better results are obtained if the sprayer is moving when spray controls are turned on.
• To ensure proper spray distribution, shut off the tank agitation.
• Watch for changes in the application rate that may indicate that your speed has changed beyond the range
of the nozzles or there is a problem with the spray system.
