Page 9: Assembly Instructions
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS 1) Uncrate the unit and remove all packing materials. NOTE: It is a good idea to retain the original machine-shipping carton for storage. 2) Place the remote control unit where it will not be damaged while the machine is being installed. -
Page 10: Machine Installation
CHARGING THE BATTERY (CONT'D) D. Charge 12 volt battery at 30-40 amps until the acid temperature is above 80 F (26 C), and the hydrometer reading is 1.250 or higher. Acid temperature must never exceed 125 F while charging. NOTE: Both temperature and hydrometer readings must be met. - Page 11 MACHINE INSTALLATION (CONT'D) 3. Once the cable has been routed to the cab, reseal all drilled openings to prevent moisture and/or exhaust gases from entering the cab. MANUAL REMOTE CHOKE: 4. Remove the cover from around the fuel shut-off, and choke levers. Doing this will allow you access the choke cable mounting hole, on the choke lever.
- Page 12 MACHINE INSTALLATION (CONT'D) 5. Using the (3) hold-down brackets used for mounting the machine to the shipping skid, securely mount the machine to the bed of the vehicle (see diagram below). Depending on the type of surface the machine is being mounted onto, it may be necessary to use additional mounting hardware to secure the machine.

Page 13: Safety Precautions
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WARNING READ AND UNDERSTAND THESE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS BEFORE OPERATING MACHINE 1. ENGINE AND FUEL: This machine uses gasoline as the fuel for the internal combustion engine and all precautions commonly applying to this volatile fuel should be observed. Exercise extreme caution to avoid spilling of gasoline. If spillage occurs, wipe it off and allow evaporation time before starting the engine. - Page 14 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (CON’T) 4. WIND: Spraying during windy conditions is not usually practical because the formulation will drift out of the intended area. However, under NO circumstances should spraying into the wind be attempted. This may cause hazardous accumulations on the machine or carrying vehicle.

Page 15: Machine Operation
MACHINE OPERATION CAUTION Read this complete operation section and the section on safety precautions before starting the machine for the first time. For first time operation, the sections on MACHINE INSTALLATION and MACHNE OPERATION must be performed before proceeding with this section. When operating this machine for the first time, move to an uncongested and well-vented work area away from flammable materials. -
Page 16: Pre-Spray Checklist
PRE-SPRAY CHECK LIST 1. Verity that the formulation pump has been calibrated and is dispensing formulation in accordance with the manufacturers label requirements. 2. Verify that the adjustable nozzle boom is in the correct position as required for the spraying operation to be accomplished, and that the ring clamp which allows this positioning is tight. -
Page 17: Blower Preparation
BLOWER PREPARATION The blower on your machine has already been filled with a non-detergent, SAE 40 grade oil. It should not be necessary for you to use a different grade of oil unless the machine will be operated in climates with a temperature above 90 F (32 C). In applications where the machine will be operated for extended periods above 90 F (32 C), use SAE-50 grade oil. -
Page 18: Starting The Engine
STARTING THE ENGINE 1. OPEN THE FUEL VALVE: Turn fuel valve lever right 1/4 turn. 2. CHOKE ENGINE: Move engine or remote choke control to position lever in "choke" position. NOTE: This should fully close choke on carburetor. If it does not, remote control must be readjusted to enable full travel of the choke lever. - Page 19 MEASURING LIQUID VISCOSITY (CONT'D) 3. The viscosity of the liquid. Various liquids have different viscosities. Viscosity is defined as a fluids resistance to flow commonly measured in units of a centipoise (CP). Generally, the thicker the liquid, the greater the viscosity and the higher the CP number. Examples of some liquid viscosities are: LIQUID VISCOSITY (CP)
- Page 20 MEASURING LIQUID VISCOSITY (CONT'D) Once the flowability of the liquid has been measured, tables 1 and 2 can be used as an approximate guide for setting the pump flow rate and nozzle boom pressure for your spray application. NOTE: Periodically calibrate the flowability meter using plain water. Water should flow through the orifice such that the time between the top line and the bottom line is 32 + 2 seconds.
-
Page 21: Droplet Size Vs. Flow Rate And Boom Pressure
DROPLET SIZE (VOLUME-MEDIAN-DIAMETER) FLOW RATE AND BOOM PRESSURE Once the flowability of the formulation to be sprayed has been determined and the formulation pump has been calibrated to produce the flow rate specified on the formulation label, select one of the two tables below that is closest to the flowability of the formulation to be sprayed (35 seconds or 85 seconds). -
Page 22: Preventative Maintenance
PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE NOTE: A successful maintenance program begins after the first use of the machine and not after the machine has ceased to function. PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE: 1. Occasionally inspect mounting hardware to ensure that fasteners are tight. Loose hardware can cause excessive vibration leading to major failure of components. 2. -
Page 23: Blower Intake Filter
FILTER - SILENCER (Rotary Blower) A) General : The air blower filter - silencer is mounted on the air blower. Dirt and other foreign particles are filtered from the incoming air by means of the reusable stainless element. The design is such that it partially silences the air also. -
Page 24: Formulation Filter Maintenance
FORMULATION FILTER The system is equipped with an in line low profile filter located at the formulation tank standpipe. This filter is to prevent any foreign matter from entering the Pump, solenoid valve and the nozzle system. Located inside the filter housing is a fine mesh stainless steel screen and a Aflas gasket seal. - Page 25 PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE TABLE 3 FREQUENCY 8 HRS OR 25 HRS OR 50 HRS OR 100 HRS OR 100-300 HRS MAINTENANCE OPERATION DAILY NEW SEASON NEW SEASON NEW SEASON ENGINE CHECK OIL LEVEL CHANGE OIL SERVICE PRE-AIR FILTER SERVICE AIR FILTER DEBRIS GUARD (OPTIONAL) CLEAN COOLING SYSTEM (FINS) INSPECT SPARK ARRESTER...

Page 26: Flushing The System
FLUSHING THE SYSTEM The system must be flushed after each use to protect the equipment from the corrosive material in the formulations. CAUTION Never handle any parts on the machine that come in contact with formulation until the unit has been thoroughly flushed with isopropyl alcohol or other recommended flushing agent. -
Page 27: Nozzle
ULV NOZZLE ASSEMBLY The design of the ULV Nozzle is such that it should require little maintenance if the machine is properly flushed after each use. However, if it becomes necessary to clean the entire Nozzle Assembly, refer to steps 1-7. To inspect the inside of the Nozzle it is not necessary to remove the entire Nozzle Assembly from the machine. -
