Operating the Sprayer
The sprayer disperses liquid substances. Before
using the sprayer make sure it has been properly
cleaned before adding any chemicals. When using
the sprayer, first fill the spray tank, then apply the
solution to the work area, and finally clean the tank.
It is important to complete all three of these steps 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.
Note:
Clean your sprayer thoroughly after all
applications.
Before Operating the Sprayer
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.
Make sure the sprayer has been calibrated before
starting (see Calibrating the Sprayer section).

Filling the Spray Tank
Important:
Ensure that the chemicals you will
be using are compatible for use with Viton
fluorocarbon (see the manufacturer's label; it
should indicate if it is not compatible). Using
a chemical that is not compatible with Viton
or fluorocarbon will degrade the O-rings in the
sprayer, causing leaks.
Important:
Verify that the proper application
rate has been set prior to filling the tank with
chemicals.
Important:
The tank markings are for reference
only and cannot be considered accurate for
calibration.
1.
Stop the machine on a level surface, move
motion control lever to the neutral position, stop
the engine, and set the parking brake.
2.
Determine the amount of water needed to mix
the amount of chemical needed as prescribed
g397870
by the chemical manufacturer.
3.
Open the tank cap on the spray tank.
4.
Add 3/4 of the required water to the spray tank.
Important:
the spray tank. Do Not pour concentrate into
an empty tank.
5.
Start the engine and place the throttle midway
between the "SLOW" and "FAST" positions.
6.
Set the spray pump switch to the "ON" position.
