Equipment Affected: GM20, GM50, TURFMATE, LINEMARKER Background: The rechargeable battery sold with the affected equipment is a lead-acid type. Analysis of battery failures reported to C-Dax over a two-year period shows that nearly all failures resulted from improper maintenance of the battery.
Features of the TurfMate include a 50L polyethylene tank, precision 2m boom, unique breakaway system, low voltage 12V pump and accurate pressure gauge. C-Dax acknowledges the co-operation and assistance of New Zealand Turf Culture Institute.
All goods returned to C-Dax Ltd are freight paid by the sender and if subject to a warranty claim, must be accompanied by a completed warranty claim form. Warranty claim forms are available from C-Dax dealers.
INSTALLATION For transport purposes, both the TurfMate and LineMarker are sent disassembled – hence some assembly by the user is required. The following parts are included: Handle Assembly Owner’s Manual Battery Charger Battery Cable Front Wheel Assembly Lead-Acid Battery Maintenance Leaflet Battery Nuts and Bolts etc.
TURFMATE INSTALLATION CONT. Fix the boom frame to the boom mount by sliding through the bracket and fixed using the M8 x 40 screw, nut and washer supplied. Assemble the boom by pressing the button latch on each arm and sliding the arm into the boom frame (See the parts diagram for further detail).
THEORY OF OPERATION Spray fluid is prepared and placed in the tank via the lid opening and strainer basket. Foreign matter is trapped in the strainer mesh for disposal after the tank has been filled. When the pump is switched on power is applied to the pump motor from the battery. When the pump operates, fluid is drawn through the filtered suction line into the pump head.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (LINEMARKER) Nozzle flow rate is determined by the pump outlet and the size of restrictor at the return elbow. Application rate will depend on nozzle flow rate and forward speed. Therefore to vary the concentration of marker dye on the line the operator can vary speed, or if absolutely necessary by altering the size of restriction.
MAINTENANCE Keep the sprayer in good condition. Cleanliness and maintenance are essential for safe and trouble free operation. Cleaning Flush unit out after use with a mild detergent solution. Leave fresh water in the pump system for storage. The boom may need thorough flushing after using wettable powders. Remove the nozzle caps at either end of the boom and pump about 20 litres of clean water through the boom.
