For Vehicle Mounted Operation
- For continuous operation connected to vehicle charging system
To eliminate the need to recharge the deep-cycle battery, the machine must be connected to the
vehicles battery being charged by the vehicles alternator. The Dyna-Jet L30 requires a rate of charge
of 30 amps at 13 VDC (when measured at the sprayers deep-cycle battery). A high output
automotive alternator of 60 amps or greater is recommended to prevent having to recharge the
sprayers deep-cycle battery. A properly performing vehicle charging system will produce 13.8-14.8
volts from the alternator. To simplify installation, Vehicle Electrical Installation Kit is included with
your machine. When connecting the battery cables of the kit to the battery terminals on the vehicle,
connect the RED positive cable to the terminal marked (+) first and the BLACK negative cable to the
terminal marked (-) last. Connecting the negative cable last prevents sparking and shorting when
connected.
Note: If your vehicle battery discharges during operation of the sprayer, several factors need to be
checked. Make sure the vehicle battery is good and connections are tight and that the alternator is
performing properly. Driving at continuous slow speeds with other accessories being powered (ie. Air
Conditioning, High Beam Lights, Vehicle battery condition, connections, etc...) will also cause this
condition. If after everything is checked and the condition still exists or cannot be avoided, an
alternator with a capacity higher than 60 amps may be required.
Using the remote-control mounting bracket provided, mount the Remote Control Box in a position
convenient to the operator. When routing the remote cable, use the Poly-Wrap cable protector
supplied in the vehicle electrical installation kit to prevent cutting and fraying of wires. It is
recommended that you apply a standard grade RTV silicone sealant around the cable where it
passes through the vehicle to provide a water tight seal. For your convenience, the remote control is
fitted with quick disconnect electrical connectors so that the box can be easily removed for safe
storage.
