USING THE SPRAY GUN
1. Shut off the boom by turning the boom valve to
"OFF".
SPRAYER RECIRCULATION
1. The sprayer is equipped with a recirculation valve to
aid in material agitation and pressure control.
2. This valve is in the “open position when the valve
handle is in line with the hose (pictured), “closed”
when perpendicular to the hose.
3. Adjusting the recirculation valve between the open/
closed positions will affect the pressure coming
through the spray wand only.
4. Closed position is full pressure through spray wand or
boom.
5. It may be helpful to adjust the pressure when
spraying with the spray wand to avoid damage to
plants from excess pressure.
6. This valve should be in the “closed” position when
operating the boom.
MAINTENANCE
AFTER EACH USE
1. Fill the sprayer part way with water and pump the
water out through the boom assembly and the
handgun. Use the handgun to wash the inside of the
tank.
2. Rell the tank about half full with water and a
chemical neutralizer solution and repeat the cleaning
instructions above. Follow the manufacturers
instructions for disposal of all chemicals.
AS NEEDED
1. Periodically clean the tank strainer on the end of the
intake hose. Remove the nylon swivel nut from the
hose, pull out the screen and ush it with water.
2. Periodically clean the strainers in the boom nozzles.
Remove the nozzle, pull out the screen and ush it
with water.
WINTER STORAGE
1. Drain all water out of the sprayer, especially the pump
and handgun. These items are prone to damage from
freezing temperatures.
2. Winterize the sprayer by pumping a 50-50 solution
of water and R.V. antifreeze through the boom
assembly and the hand gun.
