your left side tire about 2 to 3 inches away from any
walks or drives you do not want product on. As you
start moving ahead, open the trim spray handle. The
trim spray nozzle will spray 3’ to 4’ feet wide. The
spray will start 2” to 3” inches to the left of the left
front tire.
4. Stop after trimming around the entire edge of the
property. Using the same “Trim Spray”, you will want
to make a counterclockwise pass around all objects
on the property.
5. Stop. You will now make another pass around the
property exactly 6 feet out from the trim pass tire
track. Use the “Full Spray” control. When you have
nishedthispassyouwillhavea13footbandaround
the entire property to be used for turning. You are
now ready to spray the lawn.
6. To applicate go straight across the lawn using the full
spray control. As your spray hits the 13 foot turning
band on the side of the lawn, turn off the spray and
make a 180º degree turn. The machine will come
straight at 9 foot from your last tire track. Turn on
the spray, keeping the T3100 9 foot from your last
tire track all the way across the lawn. Continue this
procedure until you are done with the lawn.
SPRAY OPERATION ON THE LAWN
All lawns are different. Most accidents happen when
operators are not familiar with either the machine or the
terrain on which they will be using the machine. Practice
with the T3100 before you try to operate it on a lawn.
Practice in all kinds of conditions for at least 30 minutes.
Simulate close quarter operation (i.e. between a fence
and AC unit) before you actually try it. Climb curbs, get
used to operation on mild slopes and making turns. Be
totally familiar with your machine before you every try to
spray product to a lawn. You will need practice before
you become good at the controls and driving at the
same time.
1. BEFORE YOU GO ON THE LAWN, llthetankswith
the product you are going to spray.
2. BEFORE YOU SPRAY ANYTHING, go on the
property to be treated and drive slowly around the
entire perimeter. Note or mark all obstacles, holes,
rocks or anything that can be a hazard, harmed by the
machine or cause damage to the machine.
3. First trim out the property to be treated. Use the “Trim
Spray” control handle to operate the trim nozzle. You
will be going around the property clockwise doing a
trim strip around the outer edge of the property. Keep
