Hooking Up the Sprayer

Your MC Series 3 Point sprayer is designed to allow for Category I 3 Point hitch. The hitch design will fit most brands of 3 Point Quick Tach. The unit comes standard with Category I lower link pins (7/8”) and top link pin (3/4”). Once the lower link arms of the tractor are connected to the MC lower pins, install 3/8”-7/16” retainer pins (NOT Included) to hold the lower arms in place..
If using a CAT 1 Quick Tach: bushings should be added (NOT Supplied) to match your Quick Tach System.

Sprayer Boom Controls

Familiarize yourself with the sprayer controls before use. Your sprayer may be equipped with manual or electric (optional) boom controls.
If your sprayer is equipped with the manual lever controls:

• Boom Section On/Off Valve–OFF when the lever is down or in the horizontal position, it is ON when the lever is up or in the vertical position.

• Pressure Relief/Regulating Valve. – loosen the jam nut and screw the knob down to increase pressure and up to decrease pressure.
  Once desired pressure is obtained, tighten jam nut.

• Pressure Gauge – Monitor sprayer pressure. DO NOT exceed 100psi. Exceeding 100psi can cause premature gauge failure.

If your sprayer is equipped with electric controls:
Determine the best location for the control box in the vehicle cab, according to the following guidelines:

• Switches should be within easy reach
• Controller bracket should rest on a flat surface
• 12 volt DC power source must be accessible.

The Electric Control Kit power cord comes with a 3 pin convenience plug. If your Tractor is not equipped with that type power plug, a Socket 25A is included in the kit.
The Socket 25A plug will have to be wired into the tractor.
See Socket 25A Wiring Diagram to the right for wiring details

Calibrating the Sprayer

When spraying with a boom, the sprayer must be calibrated to ensure proper spray coverage and to combat over-application or under application. Before calibrating the sprayer, it is important to familiarize yourself with the operating instructions.
The calibration process is simplified when broken down into the following three steps:

1. Determine the speed of the tractor
2. Determine the nozzle size and use the calibration chart to find the correct pressure setting
3. Set the pressure accordingly using the pressure regulating valve

Note: All calibration must be done with clean water only!
Note: it is helpful for future references to record the exact RPM and gear that was used to attain the desired speed
Tractor RPM Tractor Gear = Speed

1. Determining the Speed

It is important to determine what speed the tractor will be traveling at, while spraying. While some tractors have speedometers, it is still recommended that speed is calculated for all tractors for accuracy purposes. To determine the speed follow these steps:

1. Set the tractor throttle to operate between 75%-100% of the tractor’s RPM range. This will allow the pump to operate at full volume
2. Measure a 200 foot or 300 foot distance on a field or a surface similar to where you will be spraying
3. Drive the tractor and sprayer (tank half-full is optimal) across the measured distance at a constant rate of speed. There should be no changes in speed while you are measuring the time. This should be a comfortable speed for spraying
4. Have someone measure the amount of time (in seconds) it takes to travel the measured distance
5. Your speed can be found by entering your data into the equation below or by consulting the speed table
   Speed (MPH) = (Distance (FT) x 60)/(Time (Seconds) x 88)

(MPH) = (FT) x 60/ _____(SEC) x 88

Note: When calculating tractor speed be sure to select a gear that allows the tractor to operate between 75%-100% of the tractor’s RPM range. This will allow the  pump to operate at full volume. Selecting a higher gear will not allow the pump to work  efficiently.

8| 8.5| 17| 26
9| 7.6| 15| 23
10| 6.8| 14| 20

2. Determine the nozzle size and use the calibration chart
Always follow the chemical manufacturers label recommendations for application rate (GPA). There are five things you will need to know to be able to figure your nozzle size and pressure setting. They are:

1. Application rate — GPA or GAL/1000 Sq. Ft.
2. Speed — MPH
3. Width — Nozzle Spacing (in inches) for broadcast boom spraying — Spray width (in inches) for boomless nozzles
4. Spraying Pressure — Follow chemical label recommendations for pressure/droplet size requirements
5. Solution weight and conversion factor (CF)

Spraying Solutions Other than Water
Since all the tabulations are based on spraying water, which weighs 8.34 lbs. per USA gallon, conversion factors must be used when spraying solutions which are heavier or lighter than water. To determine the proper size nozzle for the solution to be sprayed, first
multiply the desired GPM or GPA of solution by the rate conversion factor. Then use the new converted GPM or GPA rate to select the proper size nozzle and pressure.
Example: Desired application rate is 20 GPA of 28% Nitrogen. Determine the correct nozzle size as follows:
GPA (Solution) x Conversion Factor = Converted GPA 20 GPA (28% x 1.13 = 22.6 GPA (Water), the applicator should choose a nozzle size that will supply 22.6 GPA of water at the desired pressure. See the appropriate Application Chart for your boom spraying nozzle or boomless nozzle. Using the tractor speed, nozzle width or spray width, nozzle size being used and desired gallons per acre (GPA), find the pressure (psi) necessary to achieve the desired GPA.

Example for traditional boom sprayer: Assume you have found your tractor speed to be 6 MPH, your nozzle spacing is 20”, and you want to spray 15 GPA and your sprayer has blue AIXR11003VP nozzles. Upon looking at the application chart, you will find that you should set the sprayer’s pressure at about 40 psi in order to apply about 15 GPA.
Example for boomless sprayer: Assume you have found your tractor speed to be 5 MPH, your nozzle will cover 216 inches (18 Ft) mounted 48” height above the target spray zone, and you will want to spray 15 GPA and your sprayer has yellow XT024 nozzles.
Upon looking at the application chart, you will find that you should set the sprayer’s pressure at about 50 psi in order to apply about 15 GPA.
Useful Formulas
GPM (Per Nozzle) = GPA x MPH x W 5,940
GPM (Per Nozzle = GAL/1000 Sq. Ft. x MPH x W 136
GPM — Gallons Per Minute
GPA — Gallons Per Acre
GAL/1000 Sq. Ft. — Gallons Per 1000 Square Feet
MPH — Miles Per Hour
W — Nozzle Spacing (in inches) for broadcast spraying
— Spray width (in inches) for single nozzle, Band spraying or Boomless spraying
3. Adjusting the Sprayer Pressure
Once you have found the correct pressure (psi) setting, you must now adjust the sprayer to that pressure setting. Before you adjust the sprayer’s pressure, it is important to follow these steps:

1. Make sure the sprayer tank is at least half full of clean water and the tank supply shutoff valve to the pump is open.
2. Make sure the pressure relief valve is backed out so at least 4 threads are showing. If not, loosen the jam nut and screw the knob out until at least 4 threads can be seen.
3. Make sure the valves to the agitator are open, if equipped.
4. With the booms on, idle tractor and engage the tractor PTO to start the pump. Slowly increase tractor RPM, paying attention to the sprayer pressure gauge. (Do NOT spike the sprayer pressure gauge). If you over pressurize the spray system you can damage the pressure gauge and sprayer plumbing. Increase the tractor’s RPM until you reach RPM that was used to set the tractor’s speed.
5. Adjust the pressure relief valve to reach your desired psi for your speed and GPA. This is achieved by loosening the jam nut on the pressure relief valve and screwing the knob in to increase pressure and out to decrease pressure. Once you have reached your desired pressure, tighten the jam nut to lock the pressure control knob. If you can not achieve enough pressure, slowly close the agitation valve. Tighten the valve nut to lock the agitation valve, if equipped.
   You have successfully calibrated the sprayer.

Operating Instructions

Before operating the sprayer, it is important that you read this entire manual and know all the safety precautions. Always take your time and be alert when operating your sprayer. This will allow you to safely spray without accident or interruption.

Spraying with the Boom

1. Calibrate the sprayer using the calibration instructions and application charts. This will determine what pressure to spray at in order to achieve the desired Gallons per Acre (GPA).

2. Connect the PTO coupler and torque bar to the tractor.

3. Fill the tank with some water in order to set the pressure and test for leaks.

4. Prepare the sprayer for spraying. Open the ball valve on the suction line, make sure the boom valves are off and make sure the spray gun is closed (if applicable).

5. Start the tractor and engage the pump. The tractor should be running at the RPM rate determined when you calibrated your sprayer. Ensure that the pump is primed and that there are no leaks in any of the lines.

6. Using the relief valve (manual controls), or pressure adjustment switch (electric controls), adjust the sprayers pressure to the pressure rating found when you calibrated your sprayer. You may need to readjust the pressure when you open the boom control valves.

7. You may now fill the tank with the amount of water and chemicals recommended by the chemical manufacturer. Before filling the tank make sure the pump is disengaged.

8. After filling the tank, engage the pump and allow an ample amount of time for the jet agitator to mix the water and chemicals.
   Note: See chemical instructions for necessary agitation time. You are now ready to begin spraying.

9. Upon arriving at the spraying location, unfold booms (if applicable), engage pump, open the boom control valves and make sure the pressure setting is correct. While spraying always remember to maintain constant level of speed and RPM (rates found when calibrated).

Spraying with the Spray Gun

1. Connect the pump’s PTO coupler and torque bar.

2. Fill the tank with some water in order to set the pressure and test for leaks.

3. Make sure the spray gun is closed and the booms are off.

4. Start the tractor and engage the pump. Ensure that the pump is primed and that there are no leaks in any of the lines.

5. Adjust the sprayer’s pressure using the relief valve to your desired setting. When you open the spray gun, you may need to readjust the pressure.

6. You may now fill the tank with the amount of water and chemicals recommended by the chemical manufacturer. Before filling the tank make sure the pump is disengaged.

7. After filling the tank, engage the pump and allow an ample amount of time for the jet agitator to mix the water and chemicals.
   Note: See chemical instructions for necessary agitation time. You are now ready to begin spraying.

8. Upon arriving at the spraying location, engage the pump and make sure the pressure setting is correct. Adjust the gun to the desired spray pattern when spraying.

Maintenance Instructions

Routine Maintenance
It is very important to perform routine maintenance on your sprayer before and after each use. Good maintenance practices will help to guard against sprayer breakdowns or accidents.

1. It is recommended to perform a visual and physical inspection for any worn parts, loose bolts or other visible problems. Make all necessary repairs before spraying. Please contact an authorized Cimarron dealer to order parts or to receive technical help.

2. After each use, it is important to rinse the sprayer and all components by running a good quality tank cleaner (Tank Neutralizer and Cleaner) through the system (if no tank cleaner is available, you may substitute a good grade of dish soap for this step. Turn pump on and circulate through the sprayer for 15 minutes and then spray out through boom and handgun nozzles. Refill sprayer part way with clean fresh water and repeat. Rinsing the sprayer after use will greatly improve the life of the pump and other components.

3. Failure to properly rinse the sprayer and all components after each use, will void the manufacturer’s warranty.
   Note: All rinsates must be sprayed in field according to chemical regulations!

4. The screen of the in-line filter on the suction line should be taken out and rinsed. Note: Be careful not to lose the gasket in the filter bowl. The filter will leak without this gasket.

5. Tip strainer (if applicable), should also be taken out and rinsed after each use. Tips strainers are small screens that are located behind each spray nozzle on the boom.

Pump Maintenance

1. Follow all pump safety precautions and warnings. Following these guidelines will help to ensure many years of smooth and trouble-free service.
2. Flush the pump, as directed in routine maintenance, after every use. It is also very important to winterize your pump to prevent freezing and corrosion. Please see Winterizing your Sprayer section below for instructions.
3. After many years of use, you may find that your pump is leaking or has experienced a decrease in performance. You may need to change the seals and rollers. Contact an authorized Cimarron Dealer for parts and technical support.

Drain the Tank
Close the valve on the tank outlet. Remove the filter bowl by unscrewing from the filter body. Pay attention when removing the filter bowl that the screen and gasket be removed and kept with the bowl.
Once the filter bowl, screen and gasket have been removed, open the valve on the tank outlet to allow the fluid to drain from the tank. While the filter screen is off, rinse with clean water and inspect to make sure in good operating condition. When done, reinstall filter bowl with gasket and screen.
Winterizing your Sprayer
It is essential that you winterize your sprayer to avoid damage and to allow for optimal performance. The winterization process should be undertaken before freezing conditions and/or after each season of use. Failure to winterize your sprayer will void the manufacturer’s warranty.

1. Verify that the tank is empty and rinsed out. Pour 1-2 gallons of RV nontoxic antifreeze into the tank. It is not recommended to use engine antifreeze. Engine antifreeze can be harmful to humans, animals, crops and the environment.
2. Engage the pump and spray with the boom and spray gun (if applicable). Make sure that the antifreeze has been pumped through the entire system, including all spray nozzles.
3. See pump manufacturers operators manual for proper winter storage of your sprayer pump.
4. Before spraying in the spring, it is recommended to flush the sprayer with fresh water to cleanse it of the antifreeze and any other buildup. It would also be beneficial to do a thorough inspection of all sprayer components before spraying.

• Check the spray pattern. Usually you can see the coverage better on a solid concrete surface, such as a driveway.

• Approximate height: 33”

  • The (3) nozzles are fixed at 17-1/2” spacing
  • All (3) nozzles spraying at the same time will allow a maximum coverage of 36 feet
  • The center nozzle will spray an 80” swath
  • Each of the (3) nozzles has a shutoff valve, so you can shut off each nozzle individually. This may help in achieving the actual coverage needed for your application.

FSBK-3025BL (5301289) End Nozzle Assembly & Info

1. First REMOVE O-Ring, Item 2 (#5072517) from the end nozzle body assembly.
2. Start by sliding Item 4, 3, 2 onto the boom tube (Item 1) as shown, leaving about 1/2” to 3/4” between the end of the boom tube and Item 2. Make sure the “Long” portion of Item 3 is facing the nozzle end.
3. Slide the (complete) end nozzle assembly onto the stainless steel boom tube, with somewhat of a “twisting” motion, so that the end face of the boom tube “butts” up against the surface face inside the nozzle body.
4. Now push the “compression olive” (Item 3) against O-rin(Item 2) and slide (both) into the nozzle body opening firmly.
5. Firmly tighten flynut (Item 4) onto threads of nozzle body

Repeat for other side.
NOTE: If water is shooting back on the boom tube, item 2 is not in the correct placement.
