Page 3: Congratulations
CONGRATULATIONS We are pleased that you have purchased a Compu-Spray to control flying and crawling insects in your yard. The Compu-Spray was developed to give effective control of small insects with the use of a minimum amount of insecticide – less than you or the professional would use by any other spraying method.
Page 4: Selection Of Insecticide
Compu-Spray unique in achieving maximum effectiveness with a minimum use of chemical. Compu-Spray applies a 2% solution of Malathion, which is effective only against the small “soft shelled” insects like mosquitoes and aphids.
Page 5: Things You'll Need
The windsock on the bottom of the Compu-Spray senses any wind as low as 3 mph, and then the computer takes over. When the windsock contactor dwells at one of the six wind switches, a fine spray is pumped from the nozzle to be carried by the wind.

Windsock and Wand (8) this simple piece of yarn catches the wind, blowing from any direction, and moves the wand to trip the electronics, which controls the spray. The windsock is just enough to activate the Compu-Spray in a wind of 3 miles per hour. www.rittenhouse.ca...
Page 7 Batteries The Compu-Spray is powered by 2 batteries, one of which (14) is shown being placed into its compartment. Each compartment has a Door (22), which is held, in place by two Screws...
Page 8: Selecting A Site
Selecting The Site: The Compu-Spray is activated by the wind and the wind carries the mist of insecticide to areas you want to protect and to areas where mosquitoes live and breed. To do this, it must be hung 10 feet or more above the ground in a location where it will be exposed to all wind directions.

30-inch long post holder spike. Attach the cleat to the post on the side of the post, not directly under the Compu-Spray. When hoisting Compu-Spray up or down, do not stand directly underneath it. Keep the cleat high to discourage use by children.
Page 10: How To Use
Placing in Service: When the batteries are in place and the tank is filled, the Comp-Spray can be hung by its hook to the loop of rope. Hoist the Compu-Spray up part way and turn the switch ON. Inspect the Windsock, straighten the yarn so it points straight down and swings freely, and slowly hoist the Compu-Spray up the rest of the way.
Page 11 Use a ¾” oring or a rubber band over two posts, not adjacent but separated by one post. Place over the posts nearest the side you want to protect from spray. In this way, you can effectively prevent the Compu-Spray from spraying when the wind blows towards that direction.
Page 12: Care And Maintenance - 12
Please read all these instructions There could be a problem if the Compu-Spray does not use its tank of solution in its usual week or so. It is necessary to be aware, however, that while it is unusual for the wind to be still for almost a week, it is not impossible, especially during a very hot, dry spell.

Page 14: Winter Storage
Fill the Compu-Spray half full of water. Hang the Compu-Spray up, turn switch on; wait 45 minutes then start the pump at least three times by moving the wand into different Windswitch contactors. If indoors, cover the nozzle with a rag.
