REMOVAL OF PARTS FROM CARTON  
Remove all parts and hardware packages from the  
carton. Lay out all parts and hardware and identify  
using the illustrations on pages 3 and 4.  
TOOLS REQUIRED FOR ASSEMBLY  
(2) 1/2" Wrenches  
(1) Screwdriver  
(1) Pliers  
(1) Hammer  
Assemble a hitch arm to the inside of a frame tube  
underneath the tank. Use two 5/16" x 2" hex bolts and  
5/16" nylock nuts as shown in figure 2. Do not tighten  
yet. Repeat for other side.  
Assemble the axle through the holes in the frame  
tubes.You may need to slightly loosen the bolts in the  
frame tubes to make the axle fit. Retighten the bolts  
only enough to flatten the lockwashers. See figure 1.  
Assemble a spacer, a 1/2" flat washer, a wheel and  
another 1/2" flat washer onto the axle. Lightly tap a  
palnut onto the end of the axle. Repeat on other end  
of axle. See figure 1.

Fasten the ends of the hitch arms together using two  
5/16" x 1-1/4" hex bolts and 5/16" nylock nuts. Do not  
tighten yet. See figure 3.  
Assemble the boom mount bracket to the rear of the  
hitch tubes using two 5/16" x 2" hex bolts and 5/16"  
nylock nuts. See figure 5.  
Assemble the hitch brackets to the hitch arms using  
two 5/16" x 2" hex bolts and 5/16" nylock nuts.  
Position each bolt behind one of the cross bolts in the  
hitch arms. Do not tighten yet. See figure 3.

Assemble the boom bars to the boom mount bracket  
using two 5/16" x 1-1/4" carriage bolts, tooth lock  
washers (between the bar and bracket), 5/16" flat  
washers and knobs. The boom connecting hose  
should extend upward. See figure 6.  
At this time tighten all bolts starting with the bolts in  
figure 2, then the bolts in figure 3.  
Install the drain in the rear of the tank as shown in  
figure 4. Place a 3/4" garden hose gasket onto the  
drain body and insert the drain body out through the  
hole in rear of the tank. Outside the tank, assemble  
the nylon washer and then the nylon nut onto the  
drain body. Tighten the nut securely enough to prevent  
leaking, being careful not to damage the plastic parts.  
Place the O-ring inside the nylon cap and screw the  
cap onto the end of the drain body.  
NOTE: Make sure the nozzle openings face straight  
down when the boom bars are in the horizontal operating  
position.

OPERATION  
KNOWYOUR SPRAYER  
Read this owner's manual and safety rules before operating your sprayer.  
Compare the illustration below with your sprayer to familiarize yourself with the various controls and their locations.  
ON-OFF SWITCH  
BOOM ARM  
ON-OFF VALVE  
SPRAY GUN  
ON-OFF SWITCH Turns pump/motor on or off.  
ON-OFF VALVE Turns the flow on or off from the pump  
to the boom nozzles.  
out to obtain proper nozzle positioning.  
SPRAY GUN Unhooks from tank for spraying shrubs,  
small trees or areas inaccessible to the towed sprayer.  
BOOM ARM Swivels up and down and adjusts in and  
BEFORE STARTING  
ADJUSTING SPRAY GUN NOZZLE  
It is important to test the boom and spray gun with  
plain water before attempting actual spraying. This will  
enable you to check the sprayer for leaks and to set the  
spray pattern and nozzle pressure. If a leak should occur,  
thread tape may be used to better seal the fitting.  
Turn the nozzle on the spray gun to adjust the spray from  
a cone shaped fine mist to a straight stream. Maximum  
gun pressure is attained with the ON-OFF valve shut off.  
SETTING THE BOOM FOR SPRAYING  
The correct positioning of the boom places the nozzles  
approximately 40" apart and 14" above the ground. This  
gives a spray width of approximately 80" with a slight  
center overlap. See figure 11.  
PUMP PRESSURE SWITCH  
The pump is equipped with a pressure switch. The  
pressure switch senses outlet pressure of the pump  
and will turn off the electrical power to the pump at a  
predetermined high pressure point (35 PSI). If the flow  
demand is very low, the pump may reach this high  
pressure point and the switch will cause "cycling" (the  
pump cycles on and off rapidly). This is not a problem  
unless the pump is subject to continuous cycling within  
one second intervals for long periods of time.  
a. Slide the boom bars out to the ends of the slots.  
b. Swivel the boom bars until the nozzles are  
approximately 14" above the ground.  
c. Make sure the nozzles are adjusted so that the  
openings point straight down.  
40"  
ON-OFF ADJUSTMENT OF BOOM NOZZLES  
The sprayer is equipped with an "On-Off" valve for the  
boom which allows the flow to the boom nozzles to be  
shut off.

HOW TO USEYOUR SPRAYER  
Drive to the starting place for spraying.  
Set the boom in position for spraying.  
Determine the approximate square footage of the  
area to be sprayed. Use this amount to estimate  
the number of gallons that will be required, based  
on product recommendations. This can help avoid  
unneeded solution left in the tank.  
Set the throttle at the position determined in the 4th  
step. Reach back and flip the pump/motor switch to  
the "ON" position to start spraying.  
Stay clear of flowers, shrubs and evergreen trees  
when spraying weed control solutions to prevent  
contact of the solution with these sensitive plants.  
Determine the application rate (gallons per 1,000  
sq. feet or gallons per acre) based on the chemical  
manufacturers recommendations.  
Use the tip chart on page 9 to determine what ground  
speed will achieve the recommended application rate.  
To determine the throttle setting for attaining the  
desired ground speed, mark off 100, 200 and 300  
feet intervals. The speed chart at the bottom of  
page 9 indicates the number of seconds it takes to  
travel these distances. Set the throttle and, with a  
running start, travel the distances in the number of  
seconds indicated by the speed chart. Once you have  
determined the throttle and gear settings needed,  
mark the throttle location so that you can easily  
resume the same speed after stopping.  
ATTENTION!  
Do not allow chemicals to sit in pump for extended  
times of idleness. Some chemicals will damage the  
pump valve if allowed to soak untreated for a length  
of time. Always flush the pump with water after each  
use. See the instructions for cleaning the tank in the  
maintenance section for flushing and disposal of  
chemicals.  
CAUTION: Wear eye protection, gloves  
and protective clothing when handling  
and working with lawn chemicals.  
Add the chemical solution to the tank, following the  
product instructions.  
MAINTENANCE/STORAGE  
CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITIES  
Read and follow the maintenance schedule and the maintenance procedures listed in this section.  
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE  
Fill in dates as you  
complete regular service.

CHECK FOR LOOSE FASTENERS  
CLEANING STRAINERS  
Before each use make a thorough visual check of  
the sprayer for any bolts and nuts which may have  
loosened. Retighten any loose bolts and nuts.  
Periodically clean the strainer in the end of the intake  
hose at the bottom of the tank. Remove the nylon  
swivel nut from the hose, pull out the screen and flush  
it with clear water.  
CLEANING TANK  
Periodically clean the strainers in the boom nozzles.  
Remove the nozzle, pull out the screen and flush it  
with clear water.  
After use, fill the tank part way with water, start the  
sprayer and allow clear water to be pumped through  
the plumbing system and out through the boom  
assembly and the handgun. Use the handgun to  
thoroughly wash all internal parts of the tank, the  
outside of the tank and the boom.  
Refill the tank about half full with plain water and  
a chemical neutralizer and repeat the cleaning  
instructions above. Flush the entire sprayer with the  
neutralizing agent. Follow the chemical manufacturers  
instructions for disposal of all wash or rinsing water.  
STORING  
Drain all water out of the sprayer, paying special  
attention to the pump and handgun. These items  
are especially prone to damage from chemicals and  
freezing weather.  
The sprayer should be winterized before storage by  
pumping a 50-50 solution of water and R. V. antifreeze  
through the entire plumbing. Proper care and  
maintenance will prolong the life of the sprayer.  
LUBRICATION  
Oil the wheels at least once a season.
