3. Connect switch harness to the battery harness and route to sprayer
4. Connect switch harness to the pump.
OPERATION
CAUTION:
Connect to a 12 V battery only.
PUMP PRESSURE SWITCH
The pump pressure switch turns off the pump when it reaches
its maximum pressure setting. Very low flow demand may cause
the switch to rapidly cycle the pump on and off. Rapid on and off
cycling must be limited to no more than 6 times per minute. Cycling
could cause the motor to heat beyond the recommended maximum
temperature and reduce the operational life of the pump and pressure
switch.
USING THE SPRAYER
1. Turn inline switch to 'on' position.
2. Squeeze handle on spray wand.
3.
Turn inline switch to 'off' position when finished.
ADJUSTABLE SPRAY WAND NOZZLE
Twisting the nozzle will adjust the spray pattern from a cone shaped
mist to a solid stream.
SPRAYER RECIRCULATION
1. The sprayer is equipped with a recirculation valve to aid in material
agitation and pressure control.
2. This valve is in the “open” position when the valve handle is in line
with the hose, “closed” when perpendicular to the hose.
3. Adjusting the recirculation valve between the open/closed positions
will affect the pressure coming through the spray wand.
4. Closed position is full pressure through spray wand.
5. It may be helpful to adjust the pressure when spraying with the
spray wand to avoid damage to plants from excess pressure.
MAINTENANCE
AFTER EACH USE
1. Fill the sprayer part way with water and pump the water out through
the spray wand. Use the spray wand to wash the inside of the tank.
2.
Refill the tank about half full with water and a chemical neutralizer
solution and repeat the cleaning instructions above. Follow the
manufacturers instructions for disposal of all chemicals.
AS NEEDED
1.
Periodically clean the tank strainer on the end of the intake hose.
Remove the nylon swivel nut from the hose, pull out the screen and
flush it with water.
WINTER STORAGE
1. Drain all water out of the sprayer, especially the pump and
spray wand. These items are prone to damage from freezing
temperatures.
2. Winterize the sprayer by pumping a 50-50 solution of water and
R. V. antifreeze through the spray wand.
