OPERATING HINTS
Spray Hose
Be careful not to wrap the hose so tight as to inhibit the flow of fluid by kinking the hose.
Length of Spray Hose
If most spr
aying is “from the seat”, the hose length should be shortened. Quick release hose connectors (brass)
are available from your C-Dax dealer. These will enable the operator to simply connect the longer hose when
required.
Nozzle Choice
Nozzles provided have been selected to match the performance of the pump. The adjustable nozzle gives a
cone pattern, ideal for spot spraying.
Tank Inserts
Do not over-tighten the quick release hose connector (brass) when fitting it to the tank return brass insert
(SR50/80 only). If the insert is over-strained a leak could occur. Liquid thread seal is recommended to ensure a
leak-free joint. Plastic thread tape is not recommended.
Pump
The Flojet pump features an internal bypass function and as such it needs no pressure adjustment. When the
flow is restricted and pressure builds up the pump will automatically bypass fluid.
Using the Sprayrider™ with a Spray Boom
NOTE
SR35 is a spot sprayer only and is not suitable for boom spraying
All spray booms supplied by C-Dax as 12Volt Sprayer accessories are supplied with a quick release valve to
allow convenient connection of either the spray gun or spray boom. Spray booms that require a bypass to divert
fluid back to the tank, such as the CDA booms, are supplied with a bypass fitting to screw into the rear of the
Sprayer tank.
All spray booms intended for use with the Sprayrider™ are supplied with spray tips that match the output of the
SR35/50/80 pump and will spray at approximately 2 bar (30 psi). Changing the tip size will alter the spraying
pressure.
Decreasing tip size will increase the spraying pressure. The spray tips are calibrated to 4 bar spraying pressure,
which determines the minimum tip size that can be fitted.
Increasing the tip size will decrease the spraying pressure. All spray booms sold by C-Dax for use with the
Sprayrider™ are fitted with non-drip check valves. These valves close at a pressure of 0.8 bar (10 psi). For
reliable boom operation we do not recommend spraying pressure below 1 bar (15 psi).
