1. Fill Sprayer, close the drain valve, and open the pump valve to allow water to the pump.
2. Start engine or electric pump, and pressure should build on the gauge. Note: the gas engine
units can build up to 50 lbs. of pressure, and the electric units can build up to 100 lbs. of pres-
sure.
3. The easiest way to prime the pump is to open the agitation valve for 15-30 seconds.
4. The booms are operated by the gray lever next to the pressure gauge on the control arm. See
image #3.
5. The pressure adjustment is done using the gray knob on the control arm (Image 3). Loosen the
jam ring next to the knob and turn the knob to adjust the pressure; then tighten the jam ring to
lock in place. If the pressure will not adjust; back o adjusting nut completely and re-tighten
until desired pressure is reached. Note: theTeeJet dripless nozzle bodies will not spray below 10
psi.
6. To drain unit see Image 1 - Close Pump Valve, Remove Drain Cap & Open Drain Valve.
7. The lter screen should be cleaned periodically - loosen and tighten.
8. The tension of the control arm can be adjusted my moving the Eye-bolt (Image 2) in and out.
4. Attach the adjustable boom height brackets to the boom
arms on the sprayer. The hardware is wrapped together with
the brackets. Suggested boom height is typically achieved by
using the third and fourth holes in the brackets. See Image
#4.
5. Install Boom and/or Boomless assembly on appropriate
brackets according to instructions in boom package. Note:
Boom should not be positioned below 19”above the ground
and Boomless Nozzles should not be positioned lower than
36”above the ground.
6. Wet Test Sprayer: (a) With drain valve closed, put water
only in the tank (25 gallons is plenty). (b) Open pump valve. (c) Prime the pump by opening
agitation valve, running the pump at full throttle for 15-30 seconds, then closing the
agitation valve. (d) Check for leaks - It is not uncommon for hose clamps to leak initially due
to the clamps relaxing some from the initial position. Turn on boom and/or boomless system
(See #4 below) and tighten clamps if any leaks appear.

Troubleshooting:
Issue Possible Solution
Cannot adjust pressure. Make sure that your engine is throttled up. The engine will only
build a small amount of pressure at idle speed.
Have an uneven spray pattern. Remove small strainers inside nozzle bodies and see if they are
plugged. Next, remove the bowl on the line strainer to clean out
screen. Finally, check the tip itself for small particles of debris or
dried chemical.
My pressure drops when I use
my boom.
It is common to expect a 5-10 pound pressure drop when boom
is turned on. It is best to set your pressure while the boom is
running to achieve the desired results.
Winterizing Instructions:
1. Empty the sprayer of water and chemical as thoroughly as possible, then run RV anti-freeze
through the entire system. Usually two or three gallons is sucient. Rule of thumb is: run
enough anti-freeze until the spray becomes pink. Be sure to run it through all spray systems on
your sprayer (boom and/or boomless system and spray wand).
2. Drain all gas from engine (if applicable) to prevent corrosion.
