HOWTOUSEYOURSPRAYER
• Determine the approximate square footage of the
area to be sprayed. Use this amount to estimate the
number of gallons that will be required, based on
product recommendations. This can help avoid
unneeded solution left in the tank,
• Determine the application rate (gallons per 1,000 sq.
feet or gallons per acre) based on the chemical
manufacturers recommendations.
• Use the tip chart on page 9 to determine what ground
speed will achieve the recommended application rate.
• To determine the throttle setting for attaining the
desired ground speed, mark off 100, 200 and 300 feet
intervals. The speed chart at the bottom of page 9
indicates the number of seconds ittakes to travel
these distances, Set the throttle and, with a running
start, travel the distances in the number ofseconds
indicated by the speed chart. Once you have deter-
mined the throttle and gear settings needed, mark the
throttle location so that you can easily resume the
same speed after stopping.
• Add the chemical solution to the tank, followingthe
product instructions.
• Drive to the starting place for spraying.
• Set the boom in position for spraying.
• Set the throttle at the position determined in the 4th
step. Reach back and flip the pump/motor switch to
the "ON" position to start spraying.
• Stay clear of flowers, shrubs and evergreen trees
when spraying weed control solutions to prevent
contact of the solution with these sensitive plants.
A'I-rENTION!
Do not allow chemicals to sit in pump for extended
times of idleness. Some chemicals will damage the
pump valve if allowed to soak untreated for a length
of time, Always flush the pump with water after each
use. See the instructionsfor cleaning the tank in the
maintenance section for flushing and disposal of
chemicals.

CHECK FOR LOOSE FASTENERS
• Before each use make a thorough visual check of
the snow thrower for any bolts and nuts which may
have loosened. Retighten any loose bolts and nuts.
CLEANING TANK
• After use, fill the tank part way with water, start the
sprayer and allow clear water to be pumped through
the plumbing system and out through the boom
assembly and the handgun. Use the handgun to
thoroughly wash all internal parts of the tank, the
outside of the tank and the boom.
• Refill the tank about half full with plain water and a
chemical neutralizer and repeat the cleaning instruc-
tions above. Flush the entire sprayer with the neutral-
izing agent. Follow the chemical manufacturers
instructions for disposal of all wash or rinsing water.
LUBRICATION
• Oil the wheels at least once a season.
CLEANING STRAINERS
• Periodically clean the strainer in the end of the intake
hose at the bottom of the tank. Remove the nylon
swivel nut from the hose, pull out the screen and flush
it with clear water.
• Periodically clean the strainers in the boom nozzles.
Remove the nozzle, pull cut the screen and flush it
with clear water.
STORING
• Drain all water out of the sprayer, paying special
attention to the pump and handgun. These items are
especially prone to damage from chemicals and
freezing weather.
• The sprayer should be winterized before storage by
pumping a 50-50 solution of water and R. V. anti-
freeze through the entire plumbing. Proper care and
maintenance will prolong the life of the sprayer.
