Adjusting the Air Pressure in
Dampener
T he air pressure in the dampener on the pump is
set at 15 psi (1 bar) b y the man ufacturer . T his is
recommended for nozzle spra y pressures betw een
20 psi (1.3 bar) and 45 psi (3 bar). If different
nozzle pressures are required, set pressure
dampener at pressures indicated.

40 psi/2.7 bar 12–14 psi/0.8–0.9 bar
Transporting the Sprayer
F or mo ving the spra yer long distances , use a
trailer . Secure the spra yer to the trailer . Figure 32
illustrates the front tie-do wn points .

T he rear tie-do wn points are tw o steel loops under
the bac k of the frame just in front of the adjustable
boom frame .
Towing the Sprayer
In case of an emerg ency , the spra yer can be
to w ed for a shor t distance . Ho w ev er , w e do not
recommend this as a standard procedure .
T o wing at ex cessi v e speeds could cause a
loss of steering contr ol, r esulting in per sonal
injur y .
Nev er to w the spray er f aster than 5 mph
(8 kph).
T o wing the spra yer is a tw o person job . If
the mac hine m ust be mo v ed a considerable
distance , transpor t it on a tr uc k or trailer; refer to
T ranspor ting the Spra yer .
