BE-RMS150-28FB 3pt Hitch Sprayer
ASSEMBLY
Sprayer assembly has been completed by at the factory except for the roller
pump that must be supplied by the customer. This unit is designed to work with
a 4 or 6 roller pump that will be attached directly to the tractor PTO.
Depending on pump choice the spray nozzles may need to be changed to deliver
optimum spray coverage. Please refer to the “Boom Operation” section for more
information.
Two nylon hose fittings and hose clamps have been provided to join to the
pump. Use a good quality thread sealant on each fitting to prevent leaks.
After the fittings have been inserted to the pump, push on the two pump hoses
to the fittings and secure with clamps provided.
OPERATION
Check the inside of the tank for any foreign objects or material that could
cause damage to the pump.
Fill the tank with clean water. IT is always better to have the tank at least
half full of water before adding the chemical to avoid possible damage to the
sprayer components by an undiluted chemical concentrate.
Before initially running the sprayer, loosen the tee handle of the relief
valve. This adjustment should be checked while spraying because a pressure
increase will be noted when the sprayer is shut off and the output of the pump
is by-passed back to the tank through the relief valve.
Limit the pressure to 150 PSI. If, when adjusting the relief valve for more
pressure, no increase in pressure occurs, it is an indication that the maximum
output of the pump is being used. When the sprayer is shut off the pump will
have to overcome the excessive tightness of the relief valve in order to by-
pass back to the tank. This will cause pump strain and possible damage and
should be avoided.
Choose an operating pressure that provides a spray pattern suitable for the
particular operation. Follow the chemical manufacturer’s recommendations for
mixing and rates or application carefully. Judge the area sprayed with tank
full of spray material carefully to avoid over or under application rates.
Do not use your sprayer for pumping petroleum products, strong acids, paint or
other thick materials with heavy viscosity.
GENERAL SPRAYER MAINTENANCE
Most spray materials are highly corrosive. The most important aspect of a long
dependable service from the sprayer is a thorough cleaning immediately
following each use. In addition, the residue of one type of chemical could
cause an undesirable effect when a different chemical is used for a different
purpose.
The most effective cleaning method is to pump several rinses of clean water
through the tank, pump,
hose and spray gun. A neutralizing agent such a solution of Nutra Sol,
detergent or household ammonia as recommended by the chemical manufacturer can
assist in removal of persistent chemical.
Avoid getting chemical on the engine and other external parts of the unit in
order to preserve the finish. Remove external spray material deposits when
cleaning and flushing unit. A coat of wax applied to the exterior will protect
the paint and make clean up easier. When the unit is thoroughly cleaned,
remove the tank filter bowl and drain the water form the tank, spray gun, pump
boom and spray gun hose.
TROUBLESHOOTING
In the event of inefficient operation or malfunction, check the following:
- Clean the line strainer after each use or more often, if necessary. A plugged strainer will restrict the flow of liquid to the pump and cause it to perform poorly. Always use clean water and keep the strainer screen in place. Sandy or gritty liquids will damage the components of the pump.
- Check the hoses for any kinks or leaks. Be sure that the suction hose is not collapsed or plugged.
- Nozzle tips should be removed and cleaned with a toothpick or similar object. Avoid nails, wires, etc. that could damage the top opening. The nozzle screens of the boom accessory should also be removed and cleaned periodically. Inspect and replace worn tips to insure satisfactory spraying performance.
STORAGE
This sprayer should always be cleaned and drained before storage. If the unit
will be subjected to freezing temperatures, it is imperative that the whole
sprayer; pump, hoses, spray gun, gauge, etc., be completely drained and dry.
Any water left in the system could cause extensive damage when it freezes.
Follow the recommendations of the pump instructions for preventing internal
pump corrosion and protection against the rotor and rollers gumming and
sticking during storage.
BOOM OPERATION
Note: Refer to boom manual for specific information regarding boom set up
and operation.
The following is for general information only.
The spray nozzles used in the boom are marked with the capacity in gallon per
minute of water at a pressure of 40 PSI. A 3 tip has a capacity of 0.3 GPM at
40 PSI. A 5 has a capacity of 0.5 GPM at 40 PSI. etc.
The spray width coverage of the nozzle will vary according to the pressure,
and nozzle height. The wide angle flat spray pattern increases as the pressure
is increased.
The amount of material applied by the nozzle is changed by variations in
spraying speed, different capacity nozzles, different nozzle spray width and
spraying pressures. Other factors such as a heavier or lighter (specific
gravity) spraying solution, a change in the chemical-water concentration
ratio, worn tip, a worn pump, wheel slippage, a pressure drop from the gauge
to the boom, and a pressure gauge variation or malfunction can also cause
variations in the rate of application. Uneven coverage can result from a
clogged nozzle and a straining screen.
The spraying pressure is usually more in relation to the type of application
and the type of tip used than to the rate of application. Since nozzle flow
rate is almost proportional to the square root of pressure, it would take four
times the amount of range from 10 to 40 PSI. The rate of application can be
changed somewhat by changing pressure but a considerable change is achieved by
using a different capacity nozzle or (if possible) by changing the spraying
ground speed.
Dividing the spraying width of the boom in feet into 1000 determines the
travel distance required to cover 1000 sq. feet. For example, an 80” spray
width will cover 1000 sq. feet in 150 feet of travel. Periodic calibration
checks at the spraying speed and pressure assure correct application rates.
The number of gallons required to refill the tank after spraying (starting
with a full tank) over a test distance is the application rate for the area of
the test distance.
Multiplying the application rate for the 1000 sq. feet by 43.56 will determine
the application rate per acres or dividing the rate per acre by 43.56 will
determine the rate per 1000 sq. feet. IF unknown, spraying speed can be
determined by measuring the distance traveled in one minute. Every 88 feet. of
travel is equal to 1 MPH of speed. For instance, a distance of 308 feet in one
minute divided by 88 equals 3.5 MPH.
A calibration check can also be made with the unit standing still and the boom
spraying at the operation RPM and pressure. Catching the output of the one
nozzle for the time it would take to travel the test distance and multiplying
by the number of nozzles on the boom will yield the application rate. Water
weighs 8.34 lbs per gallon. Spraying solutions heavier than water will cause a
reduction in nozzle output, while solutions lighter than water will increase
the nozzle output.
