ASSEMBLY

The ten foot boom kit is designed to fit many applications. It has been specifically designed to attach easily to other Agriease products. The following instructions are intended for the attachment of the ten foot boom to an Agriease spot sprayer, lawn trailer, 3 point sprayer or ATV kit.

Manifold Replacement

1. Remove the existing pump from the tank by removing the four screws.
2. Remove the spray wand hose from the barb fitting on the outlet side of the sprayer pump.
3. Remove the hose barb fitting form the outlet side of the pump.
4. Obtain the new manifold and connect to QA fitting with threaded end.
5. Thread manifold onto pump using thread sealant.
6. Reattach sprayer pump to tank using the screws removed from Step 1.
7. Apply a thread sealant to the gauge thread and thread gauge into manifold, tighten securely.

Spray Boom Attachment

1. Extend the ten foot boom on a flat surface and remove the two loose bolts located on the end of the center boom section. Position the hinge over the holes in the center boom section and place bolts through holes. Tighten the bolt securely but ensure the hinge moves freely in both directions.
2. Attach the two upright spray boom brackets to your lawn trailer, ATV angle brackets or other application using the four 5/16-18 x 1 bolts and 5/16 nuts.
3. Attach the spray boom to the upright spray boom brackets using two 5/16-18 x 1 bolts and 5/16 nuts.
4. Thread on the boom hose to the manifold valve installed previously and tighten securely.
5. Optimum boom height is 14 to 15 inches above area to be sprayed. Use the location holes in the upright spray boom brackets as adjustments to obtain the optimum spray height.

Wiring Harness

1. Attach the new wiring harness with inline switch to the sprayer pump by pushing the two terminal connectors together.

OPERATION

Using the ten foot boom:

Four things must be considered before spraying with the boom.

1. How much chemical must be mixed in the tank?
2. Rate of spray (gallons per acre to be sprayed).
3. What pressure (PSI) will be used.
4. Seed traveled (MPH) while spraying.
   • Refer to the chemical label to determine the chemical mixture.
   • See the tip chart to determine the pressure to be used for your application. The chart will also show the speed used when spraying.
   • Check the spray pattern. Usually you can see the coverage better on a solid concrete surface, such as a driveway.
   • Raise or lower the nozzles so that you will have a good coverage pattern. If you can see dry spots on the concrete surface you will need to raise the nozzles. Too much solution in the pattern areas means you need to lower the nozzles. Generally the proper height will be from 13 inches to 18 inches from the area to be sprayed.

Operation & Maintenance

The nozzles on the boom will spray a 120” wide swath. The nozzle height is approximately 15” above the object being sprayed.

Once you know how much you are going to spray then determine (from the tip chart) the spraying pressure (PSI) and the spraying speed (MPH). The pressure can be set by running the sprayer with the boom nozzles “ON” and then by adjusting the garden hose valve lever until the gauge reads the desired pressure. Notice that the pressure will go up when the garden hose valve is slowly closed.

When selecting pressure from the tip chart, it is a good idea to try for the 20 or 30 PSI range as this allows an excellent nozzle pattern. At 10 PSI the pattern begins to break up and at 40 PSI you may notice some drift. Conditions of weather and terrain must be considered when setting the sprayer. Do not spray on windy days. Protective clothing must be worn in some cases. Be sure to read the chemical label carefully. Protective clothing must be worn in some cases. Be sure to read the chemical label carefully.

After all calibrations have been completed, add water and chemical to the tank. Always follow chemical manufacturer’s instructions for mixing.

Cleaning & Storage

Most spray materials are highly corrosive. The most important aspect of 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 undesired 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, hoses, boom, spray gun, etc. A neutralizing agent such as a solution of Nutra-Sol, a detergent or household ammonia as recommended by the chemical manufacturer can assist in removal of a persistent chemical.
When the system is thoroughly cleaned, drain the tank suction line, pump and hoses.

The following steps should be followed for the maintenance and storage of your sprayer:

1. Wash and flush out sprayer after completion of each phase of your program. Flush out sprayer when changing chemicals if there is a possibility of the chemicals being incompatible. Use of a detergent is advisable if the chemical manufacturer does not make specific cleaning recommendations. Flush system completely, including nozzles. Never use metal objects to open clogged nozzles.
2. Clean sprayer thoroughly before storing at the end of the spraying season. Permanent type anti-freeze added to the final rinse will leave a rust inhibiting film in parts of the sprayer.
