The programmable timer enables the fan and spray to be turned on and off automatically.
CHOOSING THE CORRECT LIQUID-FLOW-RATE To enable the machine to be used for various applications (i.e. space treatment, insecticides, fungicides), it is desirable to check the machines flow rate. Table 1 lists the orifice sizes and their corresponding flow rates USING ORDINARY TAP WATER AT 68 F (20 C).

PRE-SPRAY CHECKLIST 1) After the machine has been calibrated using the liquid to be sprayed, position the machine in the area to be treated, WARNING: It is recommended that the machine be placed so that the nozzles are spraying down a main aisle of the target area and that no foliage is located within 50 feet (15 meters) directly in front of the nozzles.
AUTOMATIC SPRAYING To program the timer, you must first determine the total spray "on" time. The total "on" time is composed of the sum of (4) different functions as follows: A) Pre-Air-Circulation Time: Pre-Air-Circulation time will always be 15 minutes. When you program the timer to turn "on", there will be a 15 minute delay before the spray begins.
