Assembly

Your sprayer has been mostly assembled at the factory. One requirement will be for you to hook up your battery leads to a fully charged 12 Volt battery. The red wire must be connected to the "hot" lead, and the black wire should be connected to the ground.

Remove the drain plug assembly and handgun clips from the parts bag and place them onto the tank as shown in the exploded view drawing.

Remove the pressure gauge from the parts bag and thread it into the end of the manifold assembly. Use a good grade of thread sealant, to insure no leaks.

CAUTION: Always check the vehicle load rating before using this sprayer. Do not exceed the recommended rating.

- Make sure the valve in turned to the 'Open' position before restarting your pump.- Remove the screen and clean as necessary. Replace when done and reassemble the entire assembly.- Swing (swivel) the intake assembly towards you. Look in the nut you JUST unscrewed. There is a screen/washer there.- Unscrew the knurled nut from the shut-off valve, leaving the valve connected to the tank.- Shut the nylon valve to the 'Closed' position. (lever is perpendicular to the flow of fluid)

It is at this location so you can shut off the flow of solution, to access your system's screen, for cleaning.A nylon shut-off valve is threaded onto the pipe nipple, at the intake location on the tank.

(see Detail Views) Reach in and rotate it, as needed, if not already in this position.which should be rotated so that it just touches the bottom of the tank surface.The suction line of your sprayer should contain a 'siphon tube', or 'intake tube',

Your sprayer is equipped with (2) ON/OFF switches. One is on the wire assembly that you hook up to your battery, the other is on the pump itself, on the opposite end of the pressure switch. The "-" is the "ON" position and the "o" is the "OFF" position for the switches. Make sure both switches are depressed in the "-" position for operation.

In addition to the ON/OFF switch, the pump is equipped with an electronic pressure switch that is factory pre-set for it to shut off at 60 p.s.i.. This switch assembly is the 'square box' on the head portion of the pump.

Always fill the tank with a desired amount of water first, and then add the chemical slowly, mixing as you pour the chemical into the tank. You may use the handgun to spray into the solution in order to mix the chemical and water.

Initially begin spraying by opening the handgun. This will enable the air in the line to be purged through the handgun tip, while building pressure.

The pumping system draws solution from the tank, through the strainer/filter, and to the pump. The pump forces the solution under pressure to the handgun and/or boom nozzles.

Open the handgun by squeezing the handle lever.•

Rotating the adjustable nozzle tip on the handgun will •change the tip pattern from a straight stream to a cone pattern (finer mist).

After Spraying

After use, fill the sprayer tank part way with water. Start the sprayer, and allow the clear water to be pumped through the plumbing system and out through the spray nozzles.Refill the tank about half full with plain water and use FIMCO Tank Neutralizer and Cleaner, and repeat cleaning instructions above.Flush the entire sprayer with the neutralizing/cleaning agent, then flush out one more time with plain water. Follow the chemical manufacturer's disposal instructions of all wash or rinsing water.For the boom, (if applicable) remove the tips and screens from the nozzle assemblies. Wash these items out thoroughly. Blow the orifice clean and dry. If the orifice remains clogged, clean it with a fine bristle (NOT WIRE) brush, or with a toothpick. Do not damage the orifice. Water rinse and dry the tips before storing.

WARNING: Some chemicals will damage the pump valves if allowed to soak untreated for a length of time! ALWAYS flush the pump as instructed after each use.

NOTE: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.

Conditions of weather and terrain must be considered when setting the sprayer. Do not spray on windy days. Protective clothing must be worn in some cases.

Be sure to read the chemical label(s) correctly!

Testing the Sprayer

Winter StorageDrain all water out of your sprayer, paying special attention to the pump, handgun, and valve(s). These items are especially prone to damage from chemicals and freezing weather.

The sprayer should be winterized before storage by pumping a solution of RV antifreeze through the entire plumbing system. This antifreeze solution should remain in the plumbing system during the winter months. When spring time comes and you are preparing your sprayer for the spray season, rinse the entire plumbing system out, clearing the lines of the antifreeze solution. Proper care and maintenance will prolong the life of your sprayer.
