5. Adjust pressure
regulator
Turn pressure regulator knob to adjust outlet pressure
1. Turn knob clockwise to increase pressure.
2. Turn knob counter-clockwise to decrease pressure
Note: If the pressure regulator knob is completely tightened, the pressure setting
will be higher than the pressure switch on the pump. This allows the pump to
operate as a demand pump and turn on only when spraying
6. Begin agitation if
needed
Some formulations of liquid pesticides do not remain in solution and
should be agitated to maintain a uniform mix.
The pressure regulator bypasses fluid back to the tank. Adjust the knob to
divert spray back to the tank to keep chemicals well-mixed. It should be used
when spraying pesticides classified as "flowable" ("F" or "L"), "wetable
powder" ("WP" or "W"), "emulsion" ("EC" or "E"), "microencapsulated"
("M"), or water dispersible granules ("WDG" or "DF"). (See pesticide label to
determine its classification.)
7. Operate broadcast
boom
A. Ensure correct spray pattern
Make sure broadcast nozzle is pointed toward the ground. The screw on the
face of the nozzle should be in the 12 o'clock position. If it is not, use a
wrench to correctly orient the nozzle.
IMPORTANT: Make sure boom nozzles are oriented to spray straight
down before you start. An incorrectly positioned boom nozzle may spray
chemicals on you or others.
Note: It is not unusual for the operator to be exposed to chemical
drips while adjusting the boom nozzle. Chemical resistant
gloves should be worn
