Operation & Instructions of New Sprayer
First, back your tractor up to the hitch of the sprayer and use a hitch pin to connect tractor to sprayer. Then,
connect the PTO coupler on the pump to the shaft by depressing the coupler & sliding it on the shaft letting
go of the coupler to allow lock pins to fall into the grooves on the shaft. Wrap chain around draw bar to
keep pump from turning. If another pump is used refer to the pump book that comes w/ the sprayer.
Next, fill the tank at least ¼ to ½ full of just plain water with no chemicals. Make sure that the suction line
shut off valve is open; handle should be going with the line. Screw the pressure regulator part of the way
out (gray knob) & make sure agitation valve is ¾ of the way open if supplied. This ensures that you do not
peg the gauge & break it.
You are now ready to try out your sprayer. By engaging PTO lever & pulling throttle to the 540RPM mark
on the RPM gauge turn boom valve on & adjust the desired pressure that you will need to operate at.
Adjust pressure with the pressure regulator (gray knob) & not the agitation valve because you need to keep
agitation constant.
*NOTE: You may need to move the pressure head stand up towards the hitch for it may have been moved
for shipping purposes. This may be done by loosening the 4 - ½” x 4 ½” bolts around the tongue & sliding
the plates forward. Electric controls will not have the pressure head stand.
