WARNINGS MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR EVEN DEATH.

1. Keep children and bystanders away during operation. Distractions can cause you to

lose control and increase risk of injury.

2. Check for signs of wear or damage, before using the SprayMaxx and after any

impact, and repair as necessary.

3. The SprayMaxx is designed for use by adults. Young people over 16 years may use

the tool under supervision only.

Introduction

INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on the purchase of your SprayMaxx ATV/UTV Sprayer, which has been

designed for the spraying of herbicides and pesticides. The design of the tank enables

the unit to be mounted on to the cargo rack of an ATV, UTV, pick up or trailer.

WARNINGS:

• When mounting to any vehicle ensure that you have read the vehicle Owner’s

Manual and make sure you comply with all the weight restrictions as speciﬁed by

the vehicle manufacturer, as overloading can cause injury or death.

• To ensure your own safety and that of your employees, if applicable, you must

comply with all relevant environmental, work place health and safety legislation

and codes of practice.

• Select and wear appropriate PPE in accordance with the label of the product you

intend using and your own safe work practices. PPE must still be worn while

cleaning/decontaminating the SprayMaxx.

• Care should be taken when spraying in windy conditions as spray drift may

contaminate the air and may effect the operator or damage adjacent non-target

vegetation.

• Once the spraying operation has been completed, decontaminate the spray

tank and spray accessories. Dispose of tank risings in compliance with current

environmental, work place health and safety requirements.

Ensure that all manufacturers'

instructions are followed

regarding the loading

capacity of the ATV.

The correct use of chemicals

MUST be followed at all

times - refer to ofﬁcial

documentation.

Do not drive

across slopes

Do not exceed manufacturers'

loading speciﬁcations

WORK SAFELY

ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY CLOTHING IN CONJUNCTION WITH HAND, EYE, HEAD,

HEARING AND FOOT PROTECTION TO HSE/EN SPECIFICATIONS

6Assembly & Operation

ASSEMBLY

The following steps are given as a guide to assemble your SprayMaxx sprayer:

1. Check inside the tank for any foreign objects.

2. Remove the pressure gauge from parts bag and ﬁt onto sprayer.

3. Fit lid on top of the tank.

OPERATION

The following steps are given as a guide to operate your SprayMaxx sprayer:

• When mounting the sprayer to a vehicle using the ratchet tie-down straps, check that the

spray tank is still secure after the ﬁrst 15 minutes of operation and re-tighten as necessary.

• Partially ﬁll the tank with clean water.

• Connect the battery clips to a 12V DC power supply (red to the positive terminal, black to

the negative terminal) ensuring sufﬁcient current capability (amps) to suit the pump. The

pump’s maximum amperage requirement can be found on its name plate.

• In order to prime the system and enable the pump to reach full pressure, depress the hand

lance trigger to release any trapped air. The pump may automatically switch off when the

hand lance trigger is released.

• Pump cycling may occur with insufﬁcient nozzle delivery. This continual switching on and off

will reduce the battery and motor life. Should this occur, adjust the setting of the nozzle tip

or the regulator until the cycling stops.

Set Up

1. Securely ﬁx the two hose wrap brackets to the SprayMaxx tank with the ﬁttings provided.

2. Connect the SprayMaxx wire harness using the bullet connectors at the pump and then

connect to your 12 volt power source/battery.

3. If you would like to mount an optional boom, you can connect it by the 'boom port' on the

side of the pump.

4. Fill the SprayMaxx tank with water.

5. Before running the pump make sure the regulator is fully open to avoid premature wear or

damage to the pump. Squeeze the hand gun trigger to start discharge and then adjust the

pressure to your desired setting while keeping the gun trigger engaged.

NOTE: To maximize the pump's life, maintain pressure settings that do not cause the pump to

pulsate whenever possible.

8Calibration

1. Measure Nozzle Spacing: Measure the distance

between each nozzle to determine the length of

your travel distance.

2. Measure Distance to Travel: Mark the distance with two ﬂags or between fence posts.

A tape measure capable of measuring further than 60m (200 ft), will make this easier.

3. Drive Measured Distance: Driving the sprayer at the intended spraying speed, time how

long it takes to travel between the marked distance. Repeat this procedure a number of

times and average the measurements. ie average time across the number of runs.

Nozzle Spacing = Distance to Travel

40cm (16”) = 78m (255’)

45cm (18”) = 70m (227’)

50cm (20") = 62m (204’)

55cm (22") = 56m (185’)

60cm (24") = 52m (170’)

Run 1:

40 Seconds

Run 2:

44 Seconds

4. Set Correct Spraying Pressure: With the sprayer

parked and the pump running, set the ideal or

intended pressure. REFER TO CHEMICAL SUPPLIER

5. Catch Output From Each Nozzle: Catch the ﬂuid

output in a container (marked in oz) for the

same number of seconds it took to drive the measured

distance in step 3 (42 seconds).

Calculate the ‘average nozzle output’ by adding the individual

outputs and then dividing by the number of nozzles tested.

6. Analyse Results: The amount of liquid captured per nozzle equals the gallons per acre

application rate. (example: 16 gallons per acre).

7. Clean Nozzles: If the output of any nozzle deviates from the manufacturers’

guidelines by more than 10%, the nozzle should be replaced or cleaned. A toothbrush

works perfectly for this task.

8. Compare Recommended Rate: If the 1 gallon per acre rate is not within 5%

of the intended rate, you will have to adjust the pressure you spray at or the speed you

travel. You will have to repeat steps 3 - 7.

Calibration

Nozzle 1 16.5 oz

Nozzle 2 16.3 oz

Nozzle 3 15.9 oz

Nozzle 4 15.3 oz

Total = 64.0 oz

64 ounces divided by 4 nozzles =

16 gallons per acre.

At this point only can the ﬁgure be

converted to metric equivalent

eg. 72.3 litres

NOTE: This is only a basic guide on how to set up the

calibration for your sprayer, there are many factors to

consider when doing this process, we recommend you

research the best calibration for the sprayer, the application

and choice of chemical to be used before each use.

ALWAYS REFER TO THE CHEMICAL

MANUFACTURERS' TECHNICAL INFORMATION

Nozzle 1

10 Mixing & Filling

• Read the product label and follow the instructions carefully, taking special note with regard

to the order in which the products are added to the tank.

• Calibrate your sprayer according to the calibration method on page 9 using water only.

Calibration must be done with the nozzle tip that has been selected for the spraying task.

• Measure out the correct quantity of pesticides using clean measuring jugs used only for this

purpose.

• Half ﬁll the SprayMaxx with clean water, then add the measured pesticide/chemical.

• Rinse out the measuring jug and empty the container. Pour all rinsings into the spray tank.

Agitate by stirring with a suitable round edged paddle.

• Top up the tank with water to the required level, ensure that the tank is not over-ﬁlled and

the outside is clean and dry before handling.

• Safely dispose of empty containers in compliance with current regulations.

• Mixing sites must be well away from watercourses and other environmentally sensitive

areas. Children and animals must be kept away.
