Sprayer Operation and Calibration
28
Once the machine is properly calibrated, each quart of spray mix
must contain the amount of Pesticide concentrate specified on the
Pesticide label to treat
1,000 SQUARE FEET
.
If your Pesticide label gives you the application rate in ounces per
thousand:
Multiply (ounces per thousand) times 4 to make
1 (ONE)
GALLON
of spray mix measured in (
OUNCES PER
GALLON
).
Example: The label calls for (
1.1 OUNCES PER
THOUSAND x 4 = 4.4 OUNCES PER GALLON
)
Multiply (ounces per gallon) times the number of gallons of
spray mix you wish to make.
Example: (
4.4 OUNCES PER GALLON
)
x 12 GALLONS =
52.8 OUNCES
of product). Mix
52.8 OUNCES
of product
with enough water to make 12 gallons of spray mix)
If your Pesticide label gives (
PINTS PER ACRE
), you must
convert (Pints per acre) to (ounces per thousand) using this
formula:
Multiply (pints per acre) times
.367
to get (
OUNCES PER
THOUSAND
).
Plug (
OUNCES PER THOUSAND
) into the first step to
calculate (
OUNCES PER GALLON
).
NOTE
: If the Half Gallon Nozzle Kit is installed, each one half
gallon of spray mix must contain the amount of Pesticide
concentrate specified on the Pesticide label to treat 1000 square
feet.
Spot Sprayer Operation
The Spreader Sprayer includes a hand-carried and hand-operated
bottle used to apply spray in areas that the Spreader Sprayer
cannot reach. When not in use, the Spot Sprayer is carried in a
machine-mounted bracket. Triumph provides room for an optional
second Spot Sprayer. The Spot Sprayer holds enough spray to
cover approximately
500 ft
2
(46.5 meters
2
). [If the Half Gallon
Nozzle Kit is installed and refilled from the Spreader Sprayer, it
holds
250 ft
2
(23.25 meters
2
)]. The machine includes a Fill Valve for
refilling the bottle from the Spray Tank.
Applying the Spray.
Plan the spray application pattern required to cover the manual
application area.
IMPORTANT: Use caution when spraying near desirable
vegetation or painted surfaces to avoid damage.
IMPORTANT: Use caution when spraying in windy conditions
to avoid damage.
To spray, invert the spray bottle and squeeze the bottle with
enough pressure to create the spray pattern needed.
To stop spraying, stop squeezing and right the bottle.
Filling the Spot Sprayer.
The spray bottle can be filled directly from the Triumph spray
system using the Fill Valve.
Park Triumph on level ground, shift into
NEUTRAL
, lock both
brakes, open Fill Valve, remove the cap, center the Spot
Sprayer under the Fill Valve, Throttle up the engine, and
dispense the spray mix into the spray bottle.
When filled release Throttle, close Fill Valve, and install the
spray bottle cap.
Cleanup After Use
Rinse the Nozzle, Nozzle strainer, cap, and spray components
in water.
Inspect the components for wear and damage before
reassembly. Replace damaged and worn components.
Dispose of spray and cleanup water according to the product
label and material safety data sheet.
