•
Start the pump’s engine, refer to the Petrol Pump Operation section.
•
Adjust the thottle to the required speed and turn the pressure regulator knob to the required setting, as
determined during calibration.
•
Open the manual valve feeding the spary boom (or other optional spray devices).
•
Immediately commence driving the vehicle at the speed determined during calibration to achieve the
required spray outcome.
•
At the end of each swath or before turning around, shut off the spray boom by closing the manual valve.
When commencing the next swath, open the valve again.
Hose Spray Operation
Set up and operation of the hose spray system is conducted as follows:
CAUTION! Suitable PPE must be worn by the operator when conducting
manual hose spraying operations.
CAUTION! Do not spray in windy conditions, where spray drift contamination
may occur.
•
Position the vehicle at a suitable point of the operations area.
•
Check that the pressure regulator is set to minimum by turning anti-clockwise. Start up the pump (refer to
Petrol Pump Operation for the start up procedure,). The fluid will now be circulating through the system
and returning to the tank via the bypass circuit.
CAUTION! Ensure not to over-run the hose when pulling it out from the reel,
as this may damage the hose or the fittings.
•
Pull the hose to unwind it from the SpotPro’s reel.
•
Set the pressure regulator to approximately 5 bar – this can be fine-tuned as required.. This will now
pressurise the hose.
•
Aim the hose’s spray gun in the required direction and squeeze the trigger. Adjust the spray pattern by
operating the lever on the spray gun handle, refer to Figure 10.
•
Use a constant speed when spraying and release the trigger at the end of each swath or change of
direction, to prevent overdosing. Work in parallel lines when spraying large areas, rather than swinging
from side to side.
•
At the end of the task, release the spray gun trigger and press the pump’s OFF button.
•
Aiming the spray gun in the required direction, squeeze the trigger to release the residual pressure in the
hose, which will result in a small amount of fluid discharging.
