How to use your S25 Sprayer

The S25 SPRAY-PRO sprayer is designed to be simple to use, easy on the operator and provide

years of accurate spraying. The S25 is the latest development from Earthway Products, Inc., a

world leaders in the manufacture of broadcast spreaders, seeding tools, and sprayers.

Calibration

The S25 is supplied with three different nozzle options. The table below shows the characteristics and performance of the supplied nozzle

options at the eight different height setting of the DCV holder. Other Turbo Floodjet

®

are nozzles available from a TeeJet Dealer if

additional application rates are required. You can download a new Spray Rate Chart at www.earthway.com.

Before use

Before using any liquid products always read thoroughly

the manufacturers product label, to ensure correct

dosage and proper handling of the product being

applied through the applicator. Use the correct Safety

Equipment as directed by the chemical manufacturer.

;

Check that the applicator has been thoroughly

cleaned from its previous use and that both the

nozzle outlet and the handgun line (if included)

have been washed through.

;

Always spray on a day where wind is minimal.

It can be unsafe and inaccurate if spraying is

undertaken in windy conditions.

;

Always wear appropriate safety clothing when

the sprayer is being used. Refer to manufacturers

instructions, or contact your supplier of the

product being applied for safety recommendations.

;

Make sure the tires are properly inflated to 20 psi.

How to use ~

Walk behind spraying

Practice before use

It is recommended for first time users of the machine that the user familiarizes him/her self with

the workings of the sprayer. By simply putting water in the spray tank and spraying it out onto a

dry tarmac surface the operator will very quickly familiarize themselves with the workings of the

machine. Make sure the spray tank is then emptied of water before further use.

Make sure the handlebar is set right for the size of the operator. There are three position options

on the upper handle for different user heights. By having the handle in the correct position for

the individual user it will make pushing the machine simpler and make spray accuracy easier to

achieve.

;

Choose the correct nozzle of the three nozzle options that is suitable for the product being

applied. (See calibration chart above)

;

Ensure the Spray (ON) / Transport (OFF) lever on the handlebar is in the Transport position.

The Transport position is with the lever over to the right side when standing behind the

handlebars of the machine.

;

Make sure the tank is clean and there is no chance of remnants or deposits from a previous

spray task being left in the tank.

;

With the tank clean fill the tank with the required volume of liquid for the designated spray

task, making sure the product being used is mixed and being applied in accordance with the

manufacturers instructions.

;

With the control lever is in the Transport (closed position) the machine can be safely pushed to the area where spraying is to be

carried out.

;

Locate the sprayer at the point at which spraying needs to commence. Lift the machine up off the two feet, so the body of the

machine is parallel with the ground (important see drawing on next page). To spray simply roll the control lever (ON/OFF) over to

the left side (SPRAY POSITION), and walk forward at a brisk walking speed 2 to 3 MPH is recommended.

;

To stop the spray roll the ON/OFF lever back to the right side (TRANSPORT POSITION). NOTE: When the Spray/Transport

lever is to the right side (TRANSPORT POSITION) and the machine is being pushed, the pump is pumping liquid out of the

tank and circulating it back into the tank. This circulation provides agitation and helps keep liquids that are mixed with water in

suspension while walking the sprayer to and from the area being treated.

For best results keep enough

liquid in the tank to ensure

the pump supply line remains

filled. Hills and rough

ground can create a “wave

effect” in the tank that will

cause the pump to have an

inconsistent spray or to lose

prime. If this occurs, turn the

control lever to TRANSPORT

and push a few feet to

re-establish the prime and

continue from where you

stopped.
