BEFORE STARTING
It is important totesttheboomandspraygunwithplain
waterbeforeattemptingactualspraying.Thiswillenable
you to check the sprayer for leaks and to set the spray
patternandnozzlepressure.Ifaleakshouldoccur,thread
tapemaybeusedtobettersealthetting.
PUMP PRESSURE SWITCH
Thepumpisequippedwithapressureswitch.The
pressure switch senses outlet pressure of the pump
and will turn off the electrical power to the pump at a
predeterminedhighpressurepoint(35PSI).Iftheow
demandisverylow,thepumpmayreachthishigh
pressurepointandtheswitchwillcause"cycling"(the
pumpcyclesonandoffrapidly).Thisisnotaproblem
unlessthepumpissubjecttocontinuouscyclingwithin
onesecondintervalsforlongperiodsoftime.
