SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Pesticides can cause personal injury and harm the environment when used improperly. Be

sure to follow label recommendations concerning safety and disposal. Observe all safety

precautions including wearing protective clothing and equipment.

Calibrate and test using clean water.

Check before each use for leaks or damage.

Read and follow the label instructions of the products used.

NOTE:

V-Series skid sprayers and modular systems are available with many different component

options. The photos and information shown herein are intended to be general guidelines.

Please refer to the additional manuals provided for information regarding the specific

components of your sprayer or call us at 1-800-706-9530.

SET-UP AND ASSEMBLY

Check for apparent signs of shipping damage and that the order is complete. Carefully

uncrate the sprayer and report any freight damage or shortages. Claims must be within

five days of delivery. The sprayer was completely assembled and tested prior to

shipping. Some disassembly may have been required for shipping. Re-attach the reel

to the frame in the desired location. Mount the reel on the end opposite the pump for

use in pick-up trucks or under the pump when used in enclosed trailers or vans. (See

photos 1 & 2)

Photo 1 Reel mounted opposite pump. Photo 2 Reel mounted under pump

In a pick-up truck, the sprayer typically is mounted in the forward-most position against the

front wall of the truck bed. Secure the frame by bolting through the truck bed or by using a

ratchet strap if suitable anchoring locations are available. (See photo 3) Note that your skid

must be secured in compliance with your local Department of Transportation regulations.

Photo 3 Sprayer mounted in truck Photo 4 Wiring Harness

Do not exceed weight limitations of vehicle. The weight should be balanced left-to-right and

positioned for-and-aft to distribute the weight in accordance with the capacities of the

vehicle’s axles.

If the sprayer is equipped with an electric hose reel, install the quick-disconnect wiring

harness provided. (See photo 4) Once installed, the shorter section will stay with the sprayer

and the longer section will remain with the truck. When removing the sprayer from the truck,

simply pull the modular connectors apart. Refer to Diagram 1 (See page 4) and connect

according to the labels on the terminals at the ends of the harness cables.

VSS 10-12

When connecting the ground wire to the truck frame, be sure to clean the contact area down

to bare metal to ensure a good contact. When a reel will not rewind, it is often due to a faulty

ground connection. Use extra care in protecting the wires from the exhaust system and any

moving parts. Avoid any sharp edges that could cut through the wire insulation.

Set-Up and Assembly –Cont.

The engine oil, (SAE 10W30) gearbox oil, (SAE 80/90W) and pump oil (30W or 40W non-

detergent) were added at the factory. The oil levels are as follows:

• Pump Crankcase – On the Kappa 43, 55 and Kappa 75 pump, the oil level is visible

in the oil bowl. (See photo 5) Other pump models may be slightly different.

Photo 5 Kappa 43, 55 & 75 Pumps

• Engine– The oil level should be up to the edge of the filler hole or at least to the tip

of the dipstick when inserted without screwing it into the filler neck. (See photo 6)

See the Honda Engine Owner’s Manual.

Photo 6 Engine Oil Dipstick Photo 7 Pump Gearbox Side Plug

• Pump Gearbox– The oil level should be up to the lower edge of the side-plug hole.

Do not overfill. (See photo 7)

START-UP AND TESTING

1. Re-attach the hoses to any modular tanks that were disconnected for shipping.

Note: The hoses may be longer than necessary; trim to length as required.

2. Ensure that suction strainer bowl is on tight.

3. Fill the spray tank 1/4 full of clean water.

4. Put gas in engine gas tank.

5. Turn on fuel shut-off valve lever on the carburetor. (See photo 8)

Photo 8 Fuel Shut-off

6. Recheck the engine oil level and check the oil in the pump and gearbox.

7. Put regulator lever in the Bypass position. (See photos 9 and 11)

8. Turn engine switch on.

9. Choke engine.

10. Start engine and adjust throttle. Once engine is running and warmed up, un-choke the

engine.

11. Liquid should be visible after a few seconds as it moves through the suction hose. Liquid

agitation in the tank should also be visible. Run the engine at full throttle until there is no

air in the suction lines. Lower the engine speed to about 1/2 throttle.

12. Turn the regulator pressure-adjustment knob counter-clockwise until there is no longer

any resistance. Rotate the black plastic lever clockwise to the spray position.

(See photos 10 and 12) Slowly turn the adjustment knob clockwise. Note the increasing

pressure on the gauge. Adjust to the desired pressure for your application. (See photos

13 and 14)

Although the pump and engine can safely operate at full throttle, reducing the engine

speed to the minimum required for your application will ensure fuel savings and reduce

wear of the pump.

13. Shut off the engine and clean the filter. There may be small plastic particles remaining

from the manufacturing process. See the Maintenance section (page 13) for instructions.

VSS 10-12

OVERVIEW OF OPERATION

Liquid is drawn from the tank and through the suction strainer by a positive displacement

diaphragm pump. Excess flow returns to the tank through a pressure regulator. The

returning flow provides agitation in the tank.

When the lever is in the bypass position, (See photos 9 and 11) the fluid returns to the tank

under no restriction, therefore the system is at very low pressure. Move the lever to the

bypass position when starting and shutting down the engine, when priming the pump, and

when maximum agitation is desired. All spraying is done when the lever is in the spray

position. (See photos 10 and 12)

Operating pressure is adjusted by turning the plastic knob on the regulator clockwise to

increase pressure and counter-clockwise to decrease pressure. Pressure is only achieved

when the lever on the regulator is in the spray position. (See photos 10 and 12)

It is important that all fittings on the suction side of the pump, particularly the suction

strainer, remain tight. Otherwise, the pump can draw air into the system and that will affect

performance. The pump fittings are sealed with O-rings and should not be over-tightened.
