Operating the Sprayer
T o operate the W orkman 200 Spra y System first fill
the spra y tank, then apply the solution to the w ork
area, and finally clean the tank. It is impor tant that
y ou complete all three of these ste ps in succession
to a v oid damaging the spra yer . F or example , do
not mix and add c hemicals in the spra y tank at
night and then spra y in the mor ning . T his w ould
lead to se paration of the c hemicals and possible
damag e to the spra yer components .

T he W orkman 200 Spra y System has been
specifically designed to ha v e high durability in
order to gi v e it the long spra yer life y ou need.
Different materials ha v e been c hosen for specific
reasons at different locations on y our spra yer
to meet this g oal. Unfor tunately there is no
single material whic h is perfect for all foreseeable
applications .
Some c hemicals are more ag g ressi v e than others
and eac h c hemical interacts differently with v arious
materials . Some consistencies (e .g . w ettable
po w ders , c harcoal) are more abrasi v e and lead
to higher than nor mal w ear rates . If a c hemical
is a v ailable in a for m ulation that w ould pro vide
increased life to the spra yer , use this alter nati v e
for m ulation.
As alw a ys , remember to clean y our spra yer
thoroughly after all applications . T his will do the
most to ensure y our spra yer has a long and trouble
free life .
Filling the Spray Tank
Important: Ensur e that the chemicals y ou
will be using ar e compatible f or use with
V iton (see the man uf actur er’ s la bel; it should
indicate if it is not compatible). Using a
chemical that is not compatible with V iton will
deg rade the O-rings in the spray er , causing
leaks.
1. Stop the spra yer on a lev el surface , mo v e the
