• Vary the sprayer speed during operation. Avoid fast
starts and quick stops.
• Refer to the Maintenance section for any special
low hour checks.
Adjusting the Booms to Level
The following procedure can be used to adjust the
hardstops on the center boom to keep the left and right
booms at level.
1. At the operator's position, turn the ignition key to
On to energize the system.
2. Move the booms into position so that they are level
with the ground.
3. Remove the key and exit the operator's position.
4. At the hinge, adjust the position of the bumpers so
the boom can not move past level with the ground.
Take care to make sure the bumper is level.
5. Tighten the bolt and nut to lock the bumpers into
the adjusted position. Torque the fasteners to
135-165 ft-lbs (183-223 N-m).
Note: The bumper may experience some compression
over time. If the booms drop below level, use this
procedure to readjust the bumper position needed.
Operating the Sprayer
To operate the Multi-Pro Sprayer first fill the spray tank,
then apply the solution to the work area, and finally
clean the tank. It is important that you complete all
three of these steps in succession to avoid damaging the
sprayer. For example, do not mix and add chemicals in
the spray tank at night and then spray in the morning.
This would lead to separation of the chemicals and
possible damage to the sprayer components.
Chemicals are hazardous and can cause
personal injury.
• Read the directions on the chemical labels
before handling the chemicals and follow
all manufacturer recommendations and
precautions.
• Keep chemicals away from your skin.
Should contact occur, wash the affected area
thoroughly with soap and clean water.
• Wear goggles and any other protective
equipment recommended by the chemical
manufacturer.
The Multi-Pro Sprayer has been specifically designed to
have high durability in order to give it the long sprayer
life you need. Different materials have been chosen for
specific reasons at different locations on your sprayer to
meet this goal. Unfortunately there is no single material
which is perfect for all foreseeable applications.
Some chemicals are more aggressive than others
and each chemical interacts differently with various
materials. Some consistencies (e.g. wettable powders,
charcoal) are more abrasive and lead to higher than
normal wear rates. If a chemical is available in a
formulation that would provide increased life to the
sprayer, use this alternative formulation.
As always, remember to clean your sprayer thoroughly
after all applications. This will do the most to ensure
your sprayer has a long and trouble free life.
Filling the Fresh Water Tank
Always fill the fresh water tank with clean water before
handling or mixing any chemicals.
The fresh water tank is located at the front, left side
of the chemical tank (Figure 24). It supplies a source
of fresh water for you to wash chemicals off of your
skin, eyes, or other surfaces in the case of accidental
exposure.
