Introduction INTRODUCTION Congratulations on the purchase of your SprayMaxx ATV/UTV Sprayer, which has been designed for the spraying of herbicides and pesticides. The design of the tank enables the unit to be mounted on to the cargo rack of an ATV, UTV, pick up or trailer.
Assembly & Operation ASSEMBLY The following steps are given as a guide to assemble your SprayMaxx sprayer: 1. Check inside the tank for any foreign objects. 2. Remove the pressure gauge from parts bag and fit onto sprayer. 3. Fit lid on top of the tank.
Set Up 1. Securely fix the two hose wrap brackets to the SprayMaxx tank with the fittings provided. 2. Connect the SprayMaxx wire harness using the bullet connectors at the pump and then connect to your 12 volt power source/battery.
Calibration 1. Measure Nozzle Spacing: Measure the distance between each nozzle to determine the length of your travel distance. Nozzle Spacing Distance to Travel 40cm (16”) 78m (255’) 45cm (18”) 70m (227’) Nozzle 50cm (20") 62m (204’) Spacing 55cm (22") 56m (185’) 60cm (24") 52m (170’)

Calibration 4. Set Correct Spraying Pressure: With the sprayer Nozzle 1 parked and the pump running, set the ideal or intended pressure. REFER TO CHEMICAL SUPPLIER 5. Catch Output From Each Nozzle: Catch the fluid output in a container (marked in oz) for the same number of seconds it took to drive the measured distance in step 3 (42 seconds).
• Measure out the correct quantity of pesticides using clean measuring jugs used only for this purpose. • Half fill the SprayMaxx with clean water, then add the measured pesticide/chemical. • Rinse out the measuring jug and empty the container. Pour all rinsings into the spray tank.

Spraying Planning to Spray Safely • Before commencing spraying, plan the work effectively to reduce potential contamination. • Wind direction and speed must be taken into account. Avoid spraying on still, hot and sunny days or when wind speed exceeds 6.5km/h. •...
Cleaning • Drain Tank and Rinse: Rinse all liquid out of the tank. When flushing the sprayer, pay attention to where the chemical will run. Always clean in an area that will not contaminate water supplies, streams or crops. • Pressure Wash Inside Tank: After draining the tank, rinse the inside by spraying clean water with a pressure washer.

Maintenance & Storage MAINTENANCE • After use, the SprayMaxx must be thoroughly decontaminated including the tank, pump, hoses and the hand lance to avoid damage to crops from harmful spray residue and to the sprayer from corrosion or blockage. • After spraying, flush the tank, hose and the hand lance by running it with clean water plus a recommended cleaning fluid.
