ULV SPRAYER ® ® WARNING THIS CLARKE GRIZZLY COLD AEROSOL FOG GENERATOR IS MANUFACTURED AND SOLD FOR USE ONLY WITH INSECTICIDES WHICH HAVE BEEN DULY REGISTRATED AND APPROVED. DO NOT EXCEED THE DOSAGE SET FORTH ON THE REGISTRATION LABEL OF THE INSECTICIDE TO BE USED.
(ULV) application of insecticide. Description The CLARKE Grizzly Cold Aerosol Fog Generator consist of an engine with a fuel tank, a rotary blower capable of developing 10 P.S.I. maximum pressure, an adjustable discharge nozzle head assembly, a flow control, an insecticide tank, a flush tank, a remote cab control and a filter-silencer...
There are too many variables involved, such as chemical mixture, flow rate and the temperature of the insecticide. Your Clarke representative or distributor can work with you to be sure you are producing the correct particle size for the insecticide used.
® Assembly Instructions The CLARKE Grizzly Cold Aerosol Fog Generator is shipped completely assembled except that the Remote Control Box needs to be plugged into the socket located on the fog generator, see Figure 1, and The other end of the cable plug into the end of the pump box, see Figure 2 (See page 8).
Page 14
ULV SPRAYER ® In order to eliminate vibration and excessive cab noise, the CLARKE Grizzly Cold Aerosol Fog Generator should be bolted to the bed of the vehicle, see Figure 3. Position the fog generator so that the nozzle is located towards the rear of the vehicle and all switches are easily accessible. Make sure that the fog generator is located where the insecticide tank can be easily filled.

TROUBLESHOOTING GRIZZLY ULV SPRAYER ® Troubleshooting This section covers these troubleshooting topics: • Warning Signals (page 41) • Error Codes (page 41) Warning Signals If an error occurs for more than one second, the following occur: • The warning LED is lit.
General • Replace worn or damaged parts on the CLARKE Grizzly Cold Aerosol Fog Generator. • Service the engine according to the Engine Maintenance Manual. The engine is equipped with a replaceable oil filter. Reference Figure 5.
MAINTENANCE GRIZZLY ULV SPRAYER ® Every 50 Hours • Check the flow rate calibration. See Setting the Flow Calibration Factor (page 35) and Calibration Factors (page 30). • Check all bolts and fasteners and tighten if necessary. • Check all gasoline hoses, insecticide lines and fittings for cracks, leaks or wear. Replace if needed.
MAINTENANCE GRIZZLY GRIZZLY ULV SPRAYER ULV SPRAYER ® ® Every 100 Hours • Clean the insecticide filter. If this filter becomes stopped up, the insecticide flow will be restricted or stopped. There is a fine mesh screen located in the cylindrical housing. This screen can be removed for inspection and/or cleaned by manually unscrewing the housing bowl.
Page 50
MAINTENANCE GRIZZLY ULV SPRAYER ® • Replace the in-line gasoline filter. Using pliers, loosen the tension on the two hose clamps and slide them off of the filter barbs. Remove the old filter from the gasoline hose. Install a new filter and replace the hose clamps.
MAINTENANCE GRIZZLY GRIZZLY ULV SPRAYER ULV SPRAYER ® ® Engine Lubricate and service the engine according to the engine manual. We recommend the use of a high quality, SAE 30W detergent oil classified "for service SF, SG, SH" (such as Briggs & Stratton(r) 100005 or 100028) when operating at temperatures above 40∞...
MAINTENANCE GRIZZLY ULV SPRAYER ® require more frequent changes. Every six months the oil breather plug should be removed cleaned in solvent and blown out with clean compressed air to provide unobstructed venting. Shaft bearings at the drive end of the blower are grease lubricated and each bearing housing is equipped with pressure type grease fittings and pressure type relief fittings.
MAINTENANCE GRIZZLY GRIZZLY ULV SPRAYER ULV SPRAYER ® ® Couplings To replace the engine, blower coupling, coupling sleeve or rubber sleeve: 1. Disconnect the negative(black) battery cable on the battery. 2. Remove the coupling guard cover. (4 screws, internal washers) 3.
Page 54
MAINTENANCE GRIZZLY ULV SPRAYER ® 5. Remove blower from the mainframe(4 nuts, bolts, lock washers). Carefully remove rust, dirt, burrs, etc. from both engine and blower shafts using a file or emery cloth. 6. Take the engine coupler halve and place a 1” bushing into the center of the coupler aligning the 3 open holes.
Page 55
MAINTENANCE GRIZZLY GRIZZLY ULV SPRAYER ULV SPRAYER ® ® 11. Check angular alignment with micrometer, vernier, or caliper. Measure from the outside of the one flange to outside of the other at intervals around the edge of the coupling flanges. Determine the maximum and minimum dimensions without rotating the flange couplings.
® Storage Before storing the CLARKE Grizzly Cold Aerosol Fog Generator after use or if it is to be idle for any appreciable length of time, the following preparations should be made: 1. Flush the fog generator for at least 10 minutes.
