~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~IMPORTANT~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

Remove tank lid and be sure the tank is clean and free of any foreign material. Rinse tank out of any tank 

residue before filling with water to test.

 

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~IMPORTANT~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

It is VERY important for you to test your sprayer with plain water before actual spraying is attempted. This will enable 

you to check the sprayer for leaks without the possibility of losing any expensive chemicals. 

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~WARNING~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Read and Understand 

the Owner’s Manual before using this sprayer. Test and use in accordance to  

instructions. 

Read and Follow

 chemical label instructions and wear

 

protective gear when filling, using, cleaning and  

servicing the sprayer. 

 

Exercise Caution 

in vehicle handling when towing/hauling a filled sprayer to avoid loss of control or overturning. 

Keep Sprayer and Spray materials 

away from other people, children and pets. 

Do Not Turn on Power 

to the sprayer, until ready to spray in order to avoid unintentional spray release. 

Do Not Use 

on steep slopes. A full sprayer could cause loss of control or overturn sprayer and vehicle. 

Always operate 

up and down a slope, never across the face of a slope. 

Keep all movement on slopes 

slow and gradual. Do not make sudden changes in speed, directions or turning. Do not 

start or stop suddenly when going uphill or downhill. 

Stop on level ground, 

set the parking brake and shut off engine before leaving the operator’s position for any reason. 

Keep all parts 

in good condition and properly installed. Fix damaged or warn parts immediately. 

Caution should be taken 

when towing and/or using any sprayer. This sprayer combined with the weight distribution, 

turning radius and speed of vehicle can result in damage to vehicle and/or sprayer or severe injury or death, if not used 

properly. 

Improper use of this sprayer or handling of chemicals could result in serious injury or illness, or could cause 

damage to the environment. 

 

Assembly Instructions 

 

The sprayer is partially assembled. 

 

Follow the steps on pages 4, 5  & 6 to properly assemble the sprayer. 

 

After assembly  is complete and before  testing  your  sprayer, make sure  you connect  the electrical  hook-up to the 

end of your pump and clip the clips to a fully charged battery.   

 

The drain plug assembly should already be attached to the tank
