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.

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:
- Check the pressure in the accumulator with an air pressure gauge.
- Add or remove air and recheck with air pressure gauge to achieve correct pressure.
Step Three: Fill the sprayer.
WARNING
ALWAYS wear personal protective equipment as directed on the chemical label
when handling pesticides.
Long pants and sleeves, chemical resistant gloves, and eye protection are
strongly recommended.
Additional protective gear may be required depending on the particular
pesticide.
Fill the sprayer using the following steps:
1. Review safety information| Review the “Operation – Important Safety
Information” related to General Chemical Safety and Chemical Accident
Procedures provided in this manual.
---|---
2. Choose safe mixing/ loading area| Choose a safe pesticide mixing and
loading area.
– Choose an outdoor, well-ventilated area away from unprotected people,
animals, food, and other items that might become contaminated.
3. Wear personal protective equipment| Wear personal protective equipment as
directed on the chemical label.
– Note that additional equipment may be specified for mixing and loading
activities.
4. Turn off sprayer and vehicle| Turn OFF the sprayer before filling.
– The vehicle should also be off, with brake set or wheels blocked to prevent
unintended movement.
5. Remove fill cap| Remove the fill cap located on top of the sprayer.
6. Ensure tank flushed| Ensure tank is flushed of all chemicals from prior
uses.
– Chemicals can interact dangerously when mixed, and residue chemicals are
also a health hazard.
– To flush the tank the strainer cap has to be removed and the suction line
ball valve has to be opened.
7. Check strainer cap| Ensure strainer cap is securely fastened.
8. Fill tank| Add pesticide to tank through fill cap:
a) Confirm the chemical/water dilution ratios specified on the chemical label.
b) Determine chemical and water volumes needed for the planned application,
taking into consideration that maximum tank capacity is 55 gallons.
Note: Only purchase and mix as much chemical as you need for the planned
application in order to minimize chemical over application and the need for
storing unused chemicals.
c) Add chemical to the tank through the fill cap.
If the chemical is not pre-mixed, add water and pesticide concentrate in the
order prescribed on the label.
8. Ensure chemical mixed| Ensure chemical is thoroughly mixed in tank.
– Stirring device should be made of metal or plastic, non-chemical absorbing
material, and then properly cleaned and stored after use.
9. Replace fill cap| Replace fill cap and tighten securely.
Step Four: Operate the sprayer.
WARNING
ALWAYS wear personal protective equipment as directed on the chemical label
when spraying.
Long pants and sleeves, chemical-resistant gloves, and eye protection are
strongly recommended.
Additional protective gear may be required depending on the particular
pesticide.
1. Review safety information| Review the “Operation – Important Safety
Information” related to Chemical Application Safety and Transportation Safety
provided in this manual.
---|---
2. Wear personal protective equipment| Wear personal protective equipment as
directed on the chemical label.
3.Open ball valve| Open the suction line ball valve.
5. Rotate bypass lever to start| Rotate the bypass lever to the START
position.
6. Start motor| Turn the power switch ON
7. Rotate bypass lever to run| Rotate the bypass lever to the RUN position.
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.
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.
10. Operate spray gun (as needed for application)| Proper Operation of the
Spray Gun.
1. Squeeze the handle to begin spraying.
IMPORTANT: ALWAYS hold the spray gun with a firm grip when spraying at
higher pressures to prevent gun from whipping. Keep good footing and balance
at all times.
NOTE: It is not unusual for the operator to be exposed to chemical while
operating the spray gun—gloves should be chemical resistant.
11. Leaving unattended| If the sprayer must be left unattended at any time:
a) Turn off power to the sprayer and disconnect battery.
b) Relieve system pressure by depressing the gun trigger.
c) Turn off the vehicle. Set brake or block the wheels.
12. Discontinue use if clogged or inoperative| If the sprayer becomes clogged
or inoperative during use, discontinue use immediately.
– DO NOT attempt to service while chemicals are in the sprayer and motor is
on.
– Return to service area to review instructions for troubleshooting before
attempting to service.
Note: A reserve, clean container capable of holding at least 55 gallons should be kept for use when the sprayer tank needs to be emptied temporarily for repairs. It is advisable to purchase a reserve tank suitable for pesticide storage from Northern Tool and Equipment for use in these circumstances. The container should be properly labeled as to its contents if it is used.
Step Five: Clean sprayer and decontaminate after use.
When done using the sprayer, it is important to clean the sprayer and
decontaminate yourself. Do not store the sprayer with chemicals in the tank,
as it is unsafe and could also result in damage to the equipment.
WARNING
Clean-up and decontamination procedures must be followed after each use.
Improper equipment clean-up and disposal of chemicals can result in dangerous
chemical exposure to humans and the environment, as well as equipment damage.
Personal decontamination is required after spraying to minimize unsafe
exposure to chemicals and potential illness.
1. Drain tank| If there is excess pesticide left in tank, drain the tank.
a) Turn off the sprayer and relieve system pressure by operating the spray
gun.
b) Find a suitable container in which to drain the unused pesticide. Place it
under the strainer cap.
c) While wearing rubber gloves, eye protection, and all other required
personal protective equipment, close the suction line ball valve and remove
strainer cap and strainer element.
d) Open suction line ball valve and drain tank into the suitable container.
e) When tank stops draining, replace strainer element and tighten strainer cap
securely.
---|---
2. Unused chemical| Properly store or dispose of unused chemical:
a) If the unused pesticide is to be stored for future use:
Store all unused pesticide in its original, or a suitably marked, container in
a secure location out of the reach of children & animals.
b) If remaining pesticide is to be disposed:
Properly dispose of the remaining chemical and its container per the chemical
manufacturer’s recommendation and according to local hazardous waste
disposal regulations.
3. Flush sprayer| Flush the sprayer per the chemical manufacturer’s
recommendations. A general procedure is as follows:
a) Add fresh water to the tank.
b) Start the motor.
c) Operate the spray gun and discharge all rinse water onto an area that can
accept dilute pesticide application.
d) Add 5 gallons of the chemical manufacturer’s recommended cleaning solution.
Operate the spray gun, collecting the discharged solution if recommended by
the manufacturer.
e) After flushing, turn off the motor and be sure all system pressure is
relieved by operating the gun.
f) Dispose of cleaning solution discharge as recommended by the manufacturer
of the solution.
