USING THE SPRAYER

1.  Determine  the  application  rate  (gallons  per  1,000 

sq.  feet  or  gallons  per  acre)  based  on  the  chemical 
manufacturers recommendations. Use this rate to help 
select  the  pressure  setting  and  tractor  speed  in  the 
following instructions.

2.  Determine the approximate square footage of the area to 

be sprayed and estimate the number of gallons required. 
Do not fi ll tank with more solution than needed.

3.  Decide how wide a swath you wish to spray with each 

pass. Use just the two inside nozzles, or the two inside 
nozzles plus one outside nozzle, or use all four nozzles. 
The number of square feet covered with each pass will 
vary  depending  on  the  number  of  nozzles  used,  but 
the amount of solution applied per square foot will not 
vary as long as the same system pressure and speed 
of travel are used. Refer to fi gure 18.

OPERATION

BEFORE STARTING
It is important 
to test the boom and spray gun with plain 
water fi rst to check the sprayer for leaks and to set the spray 
pattern and nozzle pressure. If a leak should occur, thread 
tape may be used to better seal the fi tting.

PUMP PRESSURE SWITCH
The pump is equipped with a pressure switch. The pressure 
switch senses outlet pressure of the pump and will turn off 
the electrical power to the pump at a predetermined high 
pressure point (45 PSI). If the fl ow demand is very low,  the 
pump may reach this high pressure point and the switch will 
cause "cycling" (the pump cycles on and off rapidly). This is 
not a problem unless the pump continuously cycles within 
one second intervals for long periods of time.

ADJUSTING OPERATING PRESSURE
The sprayer is equipped with a "Y" fi tting containing two 
valves. The  bypass  valve  controls  the  fl ow  to  the  return 
(bypass) hose. The amount of fl ow through the return hose 
determines the operating pressure of the boom or the spray 
gun. Adjust the bypass valve while either the boom or the 
spray gun is in use to obtain the desired pressure, indicated 
by the pressure gauge. The tip chart on page 11 shows how 
different pressure settings affect boom application rates.

ON-OFF ADJUSTMENT OF BOOM NOZZLES
The boom valve on the "Y" fi tting controls the fl ow to all 
the boom nozzles. It should be either completely open or 
completely  closed. The  two  valves  located  on  the  boom 
will  turn  the  fl ow  on  or  off  to  each  outside  nozzle.  Each 
valve should be set either completely open or completely 
closed.

ADJUSTING SPRAY GUN NOZZLE
Turn the nozzle on the spray gun to adjust the spray from a 
cone shaped fi ne mist to a straight stream. The spray gun 
operating pressure should be controlled using the bypass 
valve on the "Y" fi tting. Maximum spray gun pressure can 
be attained when the boom is shut off.
