2. The boom brackets are attached with only (2) bolts. Re-
move the other (2) bolts from the boom brackets. Loosen
the bolts which are holding the boom brackets in place.
Then rotate the boom brackets so the other (2) bolts can be
inserted through the holes, thereby securing the brackets to
the trailer frame.
3. Slide the axle through the frame holes, centering it as
best as possible.
4. Slide a wheel spacer and a wheel (valve stem out) onto
each end of the axle and then use a cotter pin to hold each
wheel in place.
5. Attach the boom assembly so that the tips will be about
18 inches above the spraying surface. use the bolts and
hardware to secure the boom in place.
6. Thread the gauge into (Item 32.9). use a good grade of
thread sealant to insure no leaks.
7. Connect the wiring from the wiring assembly to the 12
Volt power source of the vehicle. The red wire of the 2-wire
set must be connected to the positive (+) post on the battery
or the "hot" connection on a switch or to the ammeter. The
brown wire may be grounded or connected to the negative
(-) post on the battery.
8. Remove the drain plug assembly from the parts bag and
thread it onto the drain bung located at the lower rear end
of the tank.
9. Remove the handgun clips/screws from the parts bag,
if applicable, and attach them to the side of the tank, for
handgun storage.
Read the operating instructions and then run the sprayer
using only water for testing. Initially begin spraying by clos-
ing the bypass regulating valve and opening the shut-off
valve to the boom. This will enable the air in the line to be
eliminated through the tips, while building pressure. When
everything tests all right (no leaks, good pressure), add the
desired chemicals mixture and water combination and start
the spraying operation.

This sprayer is designed to be towed behind a garden
tractor.
The pumping system draws solution from the tank, through
the strainer and to the pump. The pump forces the solution
under pressure to the boom nozzles.
The pump has a pressure switch which will shut the pump
off when it reaches 60 PSI.
Pressure may be decreased by opening the bypass valve (Hi-
Lo). The more it is opened, the lower the pressure will be.
The nozzles on the boom will spray an 80 inch wide swath.
Check the nozzle spray pattern by spraying water on a
concrete surface. Raise the boom to get more spray pattern
overlap if desired.
warnInG: Some chemicals will damage the pump valves if
allowed to soak untreated for a length of time. Always flush
the pump with water after use. Do not allow chemicals to
sit in pump for extended times of idleness. Follow chemical
manufacturers instructions on disposal of all waste water
from the sprayer.
pressure swItch operatIon
pressure switch is pre-set at the factory. Improper
adjustment of the pressure switch, may cause severe overload or
premature failure. If the pump is subjected to rapid cycling during
normal operation, or infrequent periods, damage may occur.
Chemical labels may show application rates in gallons per
acre, gallons per 1000 square feet or gallons per 100 square
feet. you will note that the tip chart shows all three of these
rating systems.
once you know how much you are going to spray then de-
termine (from the tip chart) the spraying pressure (PSI), and
the spraying speed (MPH).
Conditions of weather and terrain must be considered when
setting the sprayer. Do not spray on windy days. Protective
clothing must be worn in some cases. be sure to read the
4.5
chemical label carefully.
