Information About the Sprayer
Roller pumps are positive displacement pumps, which means that the
entire solution being pumped must go somewhere or the pump will
break. In this roller pumping system, solution is drawn from the tank
and forced to a planned source, such as boom nozzles or handgun.
The pressure is controlled by a pressure relief valve, which is a spring
-loaded device that controls the amount of fluid bypassed
(recirculated) to the tank. The gray adjusting cap is to be tightened to
increase pressure and loosened to decrease pressure.
The ‘directo-valve’ is the on/off control which allows the operator to
manually control the solution going to the boom.

Assembly Instructions
Most of the sprayer has been assembled at the factory.
Center the boom tube on the boom mounts and secure in
place with the (2) round U-bolts and whiz nuts provided.
Make sure the U-bolts are positioned within the grooves of
the grommets on the boom tube. Refer to page 2 to attach
the end nozzles to the boom.
NOTE: The purpose of these grommets is to prevent met-
al-to-metal contact between the U-bolts, boom tube and
boom mounting brackets.
The grommets will ‘compress’ as you tighten the whiz lock-
nuts onto the U-bolts. Tighten just so that the boom tube will
NOT rotate within the grommets. Alternate the tightening of
the locknuts to provide even pressure on the grommet.
**DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN the whiz locknuts, as this may
cause the boom tube to flatten slightly!
Attach the boom feeder hose to the boom after routing it
through the underside of the carrier frame as needed. Secure
in place with a hose clamp provided.
Poly hose fittings (5010209) are included to be joined to the
pump. A torque chain, ‘S’-Hook and hardware are also includ-
ed for the pump. The pump IS included with this unit. It is
intended for a pump to be mounted directly to the tractor
PTO.
