Sprayer Setup
Filling Sprayer Tank
CAUTION: Chemicals can be
dangerous. Avoid injury to operator
or bystanders.
• Read chemical container label for mixing
and handling instructions. A Safety Data
Sheet (SDS) should be supplied by the
chemical dealer and provides proper safety
information.
• Wear proper clothing and safety equipment
while handling or applying spray chemicals.
• Prohibit all smoking, drinking, and eating
around chemicals.
• When lling tank, never allow end of water
hose to contact chemical mixture.
IMPORTANT: Avoid damage! Clean any spills
immediately with clean water prior to operating
sprayer.
1. Park machine safely. (See Park Machine
Safely in Safety section.)
2. Lower tractor lift link so that the sprayer is
rmly on the ground.
3. Clean area around tank ller cap to prevent
tank contamination.
4. Remove tank ller cap and ll tank.
5. Install tank ller cap.
NOTE: The preferred location to ll the tank is
from the front left corner.
Draining and Cleaning the Sprayer Tank
IMPORTANT: Avoid damage!
• Clean any spills. Proper disposal of excess
spray is very important. Dilute it with water
and apply it to area previously treated.
• Never dump excess into a storm drain or
near a lake or stream.
1. The preferred method of cleaning is to dilute
remaining material with water and apply it to
the area previously treated.
• If excess material remains, open drain
valve and empty remaining material into
an appropriate container for reuse or for
disposal according to local regulations
or as specied in the manufacturer’s
label.
2. Spray all inside surfaces of tank with low
pressure garden hose to remove any
remaining solution. Close drain valve and
run clean water through the pump, hoses
and boom applying those contaminated
contents on previously treated area.
3. Rinse outside of sprayer tank thoroughly
with fresh clean water. Rinse several times
to make sure sprayer tank is clean and free
of chemicals.
4. Once the tank is empty, wipe out inside of
sprayer tank with a clean cloth or paper
towel.
5. Close drain valve and ller cap.
Calibrating the Sprayer
When spraying with boom, sprayer must be
calibrated to ensure proper spray coverage and
to combat over-application or under-application.
The calibration process consists of three steps:
• Calculate speed of tractor.
• Determine nozzle size and consult
calibration chart for desired or instructed
gallon per acre (GPA).
• Set pressure using relief valve.
Calculating the Speed
It is important to determine what speed the
tractor will be traveling while spraying. Even if
tractor has a speedometer, it is still
recommended that speed be checked for
accuracy. Perform the following steps to
determine speed:
