About your GPS-5 sprayer
The GPS-5™ is a self-contained
unit. The engine provides
power to the compressor to
produce pressurized air. This
air passes through the radia-
tor, is cooled, and follows two
dierent routes from a black
iron tee. One route goes to the
hose reel and in the red hose
of the twin-line hose. The other
route goes to the tank pressure
regulator and then to the tank.
When the engine is on and the
tank pressure regulator is set
between 12-15 PSI, the tank is
continuously pressurized and
agitated to prevent separation
and settling of the chemical.
From the tank, the line goes to
the hose reel and in the gray
hose of the twin-line hose. The
twin-line hose, which carries
pressurized liquid and air lines
feeds into the spray gun. The
liquid combines with the pres-
surized air and atomizes into
40 micron VMD (volume mean
diameter) drops. The droplets
are electrostatically charged
and sprayed from the nozzle
assembly. Due to the electro-
static charge, the droplets are
attracted to all plant surfaces in
the direction that the handgun
points, including the back of
leaves and foliage deep within
the canopy.
Can be pulled by hand or
towed with small vehicle
