CHAPIN 97200E 15 Gallon EZ Mount 12-Volt ATV Spot Sprayer
Carefully Read These Instructions Before Use
OPERATION
The pumping system draws solution from the tank, through the strainer and to the pump. The pump forces the solution under pressure to the spray wand. The pump has a pressure switch which will shut the pump off when it reaches 60 PSI. Regularly inspect the suction supply screen on the inside of the tank. Flush with water to clear any accumulated debris.
AFTER SPRAYING
After use, fill the sprayer part way with water. Start the sprayer and allow clear water to be pumped through the plumbing system and out through the spray wand. Refill the tank about half full with plain water and use a chemical neutralizer and repeat cleaning instructions. Flush the entire sprayer with the neutralizing agent. Follow the chemical manufacturer’s disposal instructions of all wash or rinsing water.
WINTER STORAGE
Drain all water and chemical out of sprayer, paying special attention to pump and valves. These items are especially prone to damage from chemicals and freezing weather.
The sprayer should be winterized before storage by pumping a solution of RV antifreeze through the entire plumbing. Proper care and maintenance will prolong the life of the sprayer.

TROUBLESHOOTING
| CONDITION | CHECK/SOLUTION |
|---|---|
| Pump won’t start | Correct voltage (12 – 13V) and electrical connections |
Fuse or breaker
Pressure switch operation
Rectifer or motor for open or grounded circuit
Locked drive assembly
Correct voltage at switch
Pump will not prime (No discharge with motor running)| Debris in strainer
Restriction (kinks) in inlet / outlet tubes
Debris / swelling in inlet / outlet valves
Pump will not shut-off (output line closed and no leaks)| Air trapped in
outlet line or pump head
Correct voltage to pump
Debris in pump inlet / outlet valves
Loose drive assembly or pump head screws
Pressure switch operations / adjustments
Leaks from pump head or switch| Loose screws at switch or pump head
Switch diaphragm ruptured or pinched
Punctured diaphragm if fluid is present
Pump makes noise, but no output| Prime with garden hose by removing intake
hose and flood with water while pump is running until water starts flowing
(this may take up to 15 minutes to create suction).

SPRAY & PUMP FAQ
-
Why does the pump not run all the time?
This is an on- demand pump and only runs with flow; spray wand, by-pass, spray tips or leak in system. -
Why does the pump surge while using the spray wand?
Low flow/high pressure may cause the pump to surge (or cycle). This could happen when the spray wand is adjusted for a small or fine spray pattern. To overcome, adjust the nozzle for higher flow. -
How do I adjust the pressure?
Pressure can only be adjusted by adjusting the nozzle. -
My pump quit and will not restart – what should I check?
Check all electrical connections. Ensure switch is in the on position. Check in-line fuse.
Ensure correct voltage (12-13 volt). -
Low flow or no flow at all – what should I check?
Check for a clogged suction hose and/or suction strainer. Often you will need to clean the suction strainer. Check for proper voltage. Check filter in shut- off. -
Is there a fuse for the sprayer?
Yes, an in-line fuse, in the wire harness. -
What size fuse should I use as a replacement?
7.5 amp -
What is the range of the spray wand?
30 foot max -
How should I clean the tank after use?
• Rinse tank thoroughly with water only, empty, refill with water.
• Empty sprayer by spraying no less than 1 minute to rinse out line. The remaining water can be drained per the drain plug.
• Store sprayer tank upside down, in a warm dry location. -
Can the spray tip on the wand be replaced with a different type of tip?
Yes, however your wand comes with a #18 tip which is standard. Brass tips generally produce better spray patterns than plastic. -
Each time I turn on the pump my fuse blows.
• Excessive voltage
• Improper adjustment of the pressure switch
• Damaged wiring harness -
What is the warranty (time duration) on pump, tank, and accessories?
1 year after purchase.
