Operation 

The pumping system draws solution from the tank, through the strainer and to the pump. The pump forces the solution 

under pressure to the handgun or boom nozzles. 

 

Connect the lead wire to a fully charged 12 volt battery. You may use either a stand-alone battery or the battery on your 

towing vehicle. Connect to the positive (red) terminal first, then connect to the negative (black) terminal. Then connect 

the end of the lead wire to the unit connection. When disconnecting, disconnect the unit connection wire from the lead 

wire, then disconnect the negative (black) connection and finally the positive (red) connection. The control arm has an 

On/Off switch to activate the pump. “-” is on and “O” is off. 

 

Fill the tank part way with water and then add the desired amount of chemical to be sprayed. Finish filling tank to proper 

level. Turn the pump on and by depressing the “-” side of the rocker switch. The pump is equipped with a pressure 

switch that is pre-set at the factory to shut the pump off when all discharges are closed. 

 

The pump will turn back on when one of the following actions occurs: 

 

Handgun lever is squeezed to spray the handgun. 

 

Boom valve is opened to broadcast spray with the boom. 

 

Bypass valve is opened to re-circulate solution back into the tank. 

 

When spraying with either the boom (if applicable) or the handgun, pressure may be reduced by slowly opening the  

bypass valve until desired pressure is achieved. Opening the valve decreases pressure, closing the valve increases 

pressure. When spraying with the boom, the proper method to set the pressure is to open the boom valve completely 

and if a lower pressure is desired, then slowly open the pressure adjust valve until that pressure is obtained. 

 

For the safest and most efficient chemical application, you will need to calibrate your sprayer using the tip and speed 

charts, in your optional boom manual. Once you have determined the proper speed and pressure settings, you will need 

to consult your chemical label for the amount of chemical to be added to the tank. Read the entire label. Use only  

according to label directions. 

 

Calibration 

Chemical labels may show application rates in gallons per acre, gallons per 1000 square feet or gallons per 100 square 

feet. Once you know how much you are going to spray, then determine your spraying pressure (PSI), and the spraying 

speed (MPH). Follow instructions in your boom manual, for calibration. 

 

Add water and proper amount of chemical to the tank and drive to the starting place for spraying. 

 

Maintenance During/After Spraying 

Periodically check the strainer and clean the screen on your intake line. 

 

Proper care and maintenance will prolong the life of your sprayer. 

 

After use, drain the tank and store or dispose of chemical properly. Fill the sprayer half way with clean water. Start the 

pump and allow the water to pump through the entire plumbing system and nozzles. Drain and then refill half full, add the 

recommended amount of a good quality tank cleaner, such as FIMCO Tank Neutralizer and Cleaner. (If no tank cleaner 

is available, you may substitute dish soap for this step, about 1-2 oz. per gallon).  Turn pump on and circulate through 

system for 15 minutes and then spray out through boom and handgun nozzles. Refill sprayer half way with clean water 

and repeat. Follow the chemical manufacturer’s disposal instructions of all wash or rinsing water.  

If boom or handgun nozzles need cleaning, remove them from the sprayer and soak in warm soapy water. Clean with a 

soft bristled brush or toothpick if necessary. Never use a metal object. Even the slightest damage can change the flow 

rate and spray distribution. Water rinse and dry the tips before storing. 

 

WARNING: Some chemicals will damage the pump valves if allowed to soak untreated for a length of time! AL-

WAYS flush the pump as instructed after each  use. DO NOT allow chemicals to sit in the pump for extended 

times of idleness. Follow the chemical manufacturer’s instructions on disposal of all waste water from the 

sprayer. 

 

Winter Storage 

Prepare the sprayer for end-of-season storage by running RV antifreeze through the system. This will keep internal parts 

lubricated, protect against corrosion and keep the unit from freezing. 

Note: RV antifreeze is non-toxic and biodegradable 

and generally safer for the environment than automotive antifreeze.

 

Before storing your sprayer for winter or long term storage, thoroughly clean and drain it as much as possible. Then pour 

enough pink RV antifreeze into the tank so that when the pump is turned on you can pump the antifreeze throughout the 

entire plumbing system, including the bypass. Make sure to operate the boom and handgun until you see pink fluid 

spraying from the nozzles. Leave any remaining antifreeze in the tank. Before your next usage, rinse the antifreeze from 

the sprayer with clean water. 

It is nearly impossible to drain all of the water from the sprayer and any trapped water can freeze in cold weather and 

damage parts of the sprayer. Pumping the antifreeze through the system will displace the water and help prevent this 

damage.
