Intended Use

The sprayer is intended for use in spraying residential, commercial, or agricultural pesticides and other non-flammable liquids.
SPRAYING PESTICIDES:
Pesticides are hazardous chemicals that must be handled with caution as directed throughout this manual and on the pesticide label. Pesticides are regulated by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and defined as:
Any substance or mixture of substances intended for preventing, destroying, repelling, or mitigating any pest. Though often misunderstood to refer only to insecticides, the term pesticide is a comprehensive term that applies to insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, and various other substances used to control pests.
The sprayer is intended for use in spraying pesticides in liquid form only. The sprayer is NOT intended for use in spraying pesticides in dry or aerosolized form, or for use with fumigants.
Some formulations of liquid pesticides do not remain in solution and should be agitated to maintain a uniform mix. This sprayer is equipped with an agitator that should be used when spraying pesticides classified as “flowable” (“F” or “L”), “wettable powder” (“WP” or “W”), “emulsion” (“EC” or “E”), “microencapsulated” (“M”), or water dispersible granules (“WDG” or “DF”). (See pesticide label to determine its classification.)
This sprayer comes equipped with a spray gun for applying pesticides on selected plants. If you wish to spray large ground areas, a broadcast kit (Item #5042381), is available as an optional accessory.
SPRAYING OTHER LIQUIDS:
In addition to spraying pesticides, this sprayer may be used to spray other non-flammable liquids. Example uses includes watering plants/trees or spraying water for dust control. However, WE RECOMMEND THAT THE SPRAYER NOT BE USED FOR OTHER PURPOSES ONCE IT HAS ALREADY BEEN USED FOR SPRAYING PESTICIDES. Any chemical will leave some residual in the tank liner or sprayer components, even after the sprayer has been properly cleaned. These residual chemicals can have unexpected effects on future uses. For example, spraying water or other liquids that are contaminated with residual pesticide may result in unforeseen hazards to plant or animal life.
Contact NorthStar Product Support at 1-800-270-0810 for any questions about the appropriate use of the sprayer and/or optional accessories.

Operation – Using the Sprayer
Step One: Assess wind conditions and clear work area.
Before you decide to spray, you must determine whether wind conditions are suitable. You must also restrict access to the work area to ensure the safety of bystanders.
WARNING
Do not spray if wind speeds are greater than 4 MPH or if there are bystanders in the intended spray area.

1. Assess wind speed| Assess weather conditions to ensure that it is not too windy to spray.
DO NOT SPRAY if wind speeds are greater than 4 MPH.
Visible indication of wind speed:
If leaves are in constant motion or there is any branch movement, DO NOT spray because the wind is too strong.
---|---
2. Clear work area| Clear the work area of all bystanders and pets.
Restrict access by the public for the period recommended on chemical label.

Step Two: Check and set accumulator pressure.
Using an air pressure gauge, check the pressure in the accumulator. The accumulator dampens water pulsations created by the pump’s diaphragms. This provides smoother water delivery to the nozzle.
The accumulator’s pressure must be adjusted according to the operating pressure. See table below.

Pump Operating Pressure Accumulator Inflating Pressure
PSI PSI
29-73 29
73-145 29-73
145-363 73-102

Locate the pressure valve on the accumulator, and:

  1. Check the pressure in the accumulator with an air pressure gauge.
  2. Add or remove air and recheck with air pressure gauge to achieve correct pressure.

8.  Begin agitation if needed| 1. Decide if agitation is required.  Some formulations of liquid pesticides do not remain in solution and should be agitated to maintain a uniform mix.
This sprayer is equipped with an agitator that should be used when spraying pesticides classified as “flowable” (“F” or “L”), “wettable powder” (“WP” or “W”), “emulsion” (“EC” or “E”), “microencapsulated” (“M”), or water dispersible granules (“WDG” or “DF”).  (See pesticide label to determine its classification.)
2. Operation principle:
The nozzle design creates a venturi effect, speeding up the fluid flow as it exits the nozzle. This increase in velocity creates a low-pressure area (vacuum) which draws in additional fluid from the tank, multiplying the outlet flow for increased agitation.
3. Operate the agitator
Begin agitation by opening the agitation valve.NORTHSTAR M5042373B Battery
Power Sprayer - Operate the agitator
9. Adjust pressure as needed| Turn the pressure regulator until desired pressure is achieved. Turn clockwise to increase pressure, counterclockwise to decrease pressure.  Do not exceed 350psi.NORTHSTAR M5042373B Battery Power
