GENERAL OPERATION &
MAINTENANCE
The sprayer pump is turned on and off by the thumb
switch mounted on the handlebar of the spreader. The
hand spray wand is activated by closing the ball valve on
top of the tank to turn off flow to the front nozzle.
To drain the tank of unused liquids, remove the spray tip
from the wand and pump the remaining liquid into the
proper receptacle.
• Clean pump filter daily.
• Prevent from freezing.
• Clean tip screen regularly.
• Flush with water after each use.
BATTERY RECHARGING
The SPYDSS-9G’s battery is a sealed,
maintenance-free 12-volt battery.
Charging at a low rate (3 amp max.) with an automotive
quality battery charger will extend battery life.
A 110-volt powered plug-in battery charger is available
as an optional accessory to recharge the battery when
not in use. The battery can also be recharged by the
service truck’s charging system by using the optional
vehicle charging kit.
INITIAL START-UP
& PRESSURE TESTING
1. Turn the pressure regulator knob counter-clockwise
all the way.
2. Put about one gallon of water in the tank for testing.
3. Be sure that the spray line valve is turned off.
4. Turn on the handlebar thumb switch. You should hear
the pump running and see water moving through the
hoses.
5. Slowly turn the pressure regulator knob clockwise to
increase the pressure. You should notice movement
of the needle on the pressure gauge. Adjust the
pressure to 30 psi for testing.
6. With the spray wand assembled, operate the trigger
valve and check it for leaks. Note the trigger lock.
Also adjust the nozzle and angle adapter orientation
to the desired position.
7. Turn off the switch. Turn on the spray line valve.
8. Turn on the switch and observe the spray pattern
from the spray nozzle. Check the hose assembly
for leaks.
9. Once the unit has been pressure tested and you
are familiar with its operation, you can begin the
calibration procedure.
