How to use the S15 Sprayer
~ continued
Technical spray information and how to ensure accuracy
The S15 SPRAY-PRO has an adjustable height nozzle that offers spray widths from approximately 3 feet/.9 meters to 5 feet / 1.5 meters.
Spray Width Adjustment
You can adjust the spray width of the S15, which will change the application coverage, by
moving the Adjustable DCV holder up or down. To use, loosen the knob located on the front
of the skirt, and slide the DCV & Nozzle assembly up/down to the desired spray width or to a
position indicated on the Application Chart on the previous page, then tighten knob. There
are indices molded into the DCV Holder for easy repeatability.
The SPRAY-PRO Teejet TF nozzles are
designed to “feather” at the edges to allow
the second pass to “feather in,” and so
provide uniform coverage. The area of
“feather” or overlap, is approximately 15%
of the spray width at the edges, for a total of
30% over the two edges/ends of the spray
pattern. To maximize uniform coverage the next
pass should overlap the prior to allow for the
15% “feather” or overlap.
Ensure accuracy
It is important that the S15 SPRAY-PRO sprayer has a minimum of
1-gallon/4-litres of liquid in the tank at all time, and is pushed in a manner
that keeps the spray head parallel to the ground at all times, so that the
spray nozzle is constantly kept at the same correct height. Keeping the
height of the nozzle constantly parallel to the ground ensures the nozzle
will spray to its stipulated spray application cover. If the sprayer is pushed
at a downward angle and the nozzle tip is nearer to the ground, the spray
width will be reduced and over application will occur. In the reverse
situation of the spray nozzle height being increased by pushing the
sprayer at an upward angle the nozzle fan will be wider, the spray
width will become inaccurate, and under application will likely
occur. To ensure spray width accuracy it is important that the
operator is aware that the sprayer is pushed in a manner that keeps
the nozzle constantly parallel with the ground.
To aid accuracy use a proprietary spray dye indicator which allows
the operator to see where they have sprayed. Contact your local
landscape supplier for a recommendation.
After use
1.
Empty any unused contents out of the spray tank. The S15 SPRAY-PRO tank has been designed to easily empty and clean.
Dispose of
the tank contents and all washings in accordance with the manufacturer’s disposal instructions on the product that has been used.
2.
Wash out the tank thoroughly using clean water and or a preparatory tank cleaner. Make sure that the nozzle and spray gun (if included)
are thoroughly washed as well. To wash through the pipework to the spray nozzle, add an additional 1/2 gallon/2 liters of clean water to
the tank and wash this through the nozzle by pushing the sprayer over a safe area for the purpose of disposal of washings.
3.
Empty all water out of the sprayer making sure no water is left in the pump over winter - do not allow to freeze, unless you have setup
the S15 to operate in freezing temperatures using an Ice Melt or snow pre-treatment materials.

Spray Pattern
Most applications will only require
1 pass. When higher application rates
are required a cross pattern as shown
above should be used.
