Step 1
Install the lower hitch pins into the bracket lift arm. Place these pins
through the holes in the pin plates, slip the lock washers on and thread the
nuts onto the pin. Tighten securely.
Step 2
Bolt the frame together as shown. Attach one side plate (side plates are
the same) to the front frame weldment using (3) 3/8″-16 x 1″ Flange Whiz Lock
Screws and (3) 3/8″-16 Hex Whiz Nuts. Attach back tie plate to side plate
using (3) 3/8″-16 x 3/4″ Flange Whiz Lock Screws and (3) 3/8″-16 Hex Whiz
Nuts. Repeat procedure for the other side plate. Attach Boom Mounts using (2)
5/16″-18 x 5/8″ Flange Whiz Lock Screws and (2) 5/16″-18 Hex Whiz Nuts.
Step 3
After positioning the tank on the assembled frame, bolt it down to the side
members, as shown, with the supplied (4) 3/8”-16 x 2-1/2” Flanged Hex Bolts,
(4) Tank Mount Clamps and (4) 3/8”-16 Flanged Hex Nuts.
Assembly Instructions (Cont.):
Step 4
Attach the boom to the boom support brackets with the (2) U-bolts and (4)
whiz locknuts. Make sure the u-bolts are positioned within the grooves of the
grommets on the boom tube
NOTE: The purpose of these grommets is to prevent metal-to-metal contact
between the Ubolts, boom tube and boom mounting brackets. The grommets will
‘compress’ as you tighten the whiz locknuts onto the U-bolts. Tighten just so
that the boom tube will NOT rotate within the grommets. Alternate the
tightening of the locknuts to provide even pressure on the grommet.
**DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN the whiz locknuts, as this may cause the boom tube to
flatten slightly!
Step 5
End Nozzle Assembly Procedure For Boomless “Wet”Boom
Your boom will come with the (2) end nozzle assemblies NOT affixed to your boom tube. Follow the instructions below to attach these properly to the boom tube, as shown.
- First REMOVE O-Ring, Item 2 (#5072517) from the end nozzle body assembly.
- 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.
- 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.
- Now push the “compression olive” (Item 3) against O-ring (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.
End Nozzle Information (5275122)
Each “click” of the ratcheting motion is approx. 15°
For proper/optimal spray coverage, The nozzle must be at a 15° angle
The 15° angle shown will prevent the outer Nozzles from overlapping with the
center nozzle.
“On/Off” Valve Positions
Eliminate line pressure, then pull out to check diaphragm condition.
Note: The check valve & diaphragm can fall out during transport, if the
knob is not turned to the “ON” or “OFF” position.
Assembly Instructions (Cont.)
Step 6
After your nozzle harness is attached to the boom, attach the boom feeder
hose. Place (2) hose clamps loosely onto each end of the hose, loosely. Slip
the ends of the hose over the hose barbs on both the manifold and the poly tee
fitting on the nozzle harness. Use a twisting motion, if necessary to get the
hose fully onto each barb. Bring the hose clamps to the connection point and
tighten securely. Thread the pressure gauge into the manifold. Hand tight
should be sufficient. Attach hose wraps, as shown. Finally, thread the lid
onto the tank.
The Sprayer should now be ready to Test before actual use
Operation Instructions
IMPORTANT: Remove tank lid and be sure the tank is clean and free of any
foreign material. Rinse tank out of any tank residue before filling with water
to test.
Testing the Sprayer
NOTE:
It is VERY important for you to test your sprayer with plain water before
actual spraying is attempted. This will enable you to check the sprayer for
leaks without the ossibility of losing any expensive chemicals. Important:
After any repair work has been done, ALWAYS test for leaks with water before
using.
Fill the tank about 1/2 full with plain water and drive to the starting place
for spraying.
When you are ready to spray, turn the boom valve to the “on” position (Detail
A). This will start solution spraying from the tips of the boom. The pressure
will decrease lightly when the boom is spraying. Adjust the pressure by
turning the “ON/OFF” valve lever on the bypass (Press Adj) line valve (Detail
B). Make sure your pattern is sufficient. You may down-pressure the system by
‘bypassing’ solution back into the tank. This is achieved by opening the
bypass (Press Adj) valve. Regulating pressure is done in this manner.
Read the operating instructions and initially begin spraying by closing the
‘Pressure Adjust’ valve and opening the boom line valve (Detail A). This will
enable the air in the ine to be eliminated (purged) through all the tips,
while building pressure.When everything tests all right (no leaks and good
pressure), add the desired chemicals to the mixture and water combination
and start your spraying operation. Adjust the pressure and spray as you did
in the testing procedure. Conditions of weather and terrain must be
considered when setting the sprayer. Do not spray on indy days. Protective
clothing must eworn in some cases. Manifold Valves CLOSED
Be sure to read the chemical label(s) before application!
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 handgun or boom
nozzles. Connect the lead wire to a fully charged 12 volt battery. You may use
either a stand -alone battery or the battery on your towing vehicle. Connect
to the positive (red) terminal first, then connect to the negative (black)
terminal. Then connect the end of the lead wire to the end of the pump. When
disconnecting, disconnect the end of the pump wire from the lead wire, then
disconnect the negative (black) connection and finally the positive (red)
connection. The lead wire has an On/Off switch to activate the pump. “-” is on
and “O” is off.
Fill the tank part way with water and then add the desired amount of chemical
to be sprayed. Finish filling tank to proper level. Turn the pump on and by
depressing the “-” side of the rocker switch. The pump is equipped with a
pressure switch that is pre-set at the factory to shut the pump off when all
discharges are closed. Only fill the tank with what you’re going to spray in a
day, never leave chemicals sit in tank. The pump will turn back on when one of
the following actions occurs:
- Handgun lever is squeezed to spray the handgun.
- Boom valve is opened to broadcast spray with the boom.
- Bypass (Press Adj) valve is opened to re-circulate solution back into the tank.
When spraying with either the boom or the handgun, pressure may be reduced by slowly opening the bypass (Press Adj) valve until desired pressure is achieved. Opening the valve decreases pressure, closing the valve increases pressure. When spraying with the boom, the proper method to set the pressure is to open the boom valve completely and if a lower pressure is desired, then slowly open the bypass (Press Adj) valve until that pressure is obtained. For the safest and most efficient chemical application, you will need to calibrate your sprayer using the tip and speed charts. Once you have determined the proper speed and pressure settings, you will need to consult your chemical label for the amount of chemical to be added to the tank. Read the entire label. Use only according to label directions.

The rate of spray as shown in the chart will remain the same with 1, 2 or 3 Nozzles The only difference will be with the width of the spray swath.
Using the Boom Nozzles
Four things must be considered before spraying with the boom.
- How much chemical must be mixed in the tank.
- Rate of spray (gallons per acre to be sprayed).
- What pressure (p.s.i.) will be used.
- Speed traveled (mph) while spraying.
• Refer to the chemical label to determine your chemical mixture.
• See the tip chart to determine the pressure to be used. The chart will alsoshow the speed used when spraying.
• Start the pump and open the valve to the boom nozzles.
• Check the spray pattern. Usually you can see the coverage better on a solid concrete surface, such as a driveway.
• Approximate height: 33”
Calibration
Chemical labels may show application rates in gallons per acre, gallons per
1000 square feet or gallons per 100 square feet. You will note that the tip
chart shows 3 of these rating systems. 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). Determining the proper speed of the pulling vehicle
can be done by marking off 100, 200 & 300 feet. The speed chart indicates the
number of seconds it takes to travel the distances. Set the throttle and with
a running start, travel the distances. Adjust the throttle until you travel
the distances in the number of seconds indicated by the speed chart. Once you
have reached the throttle setting needed, mark the throttle location so you
can stop and go again, returning to the same speed.
Add water and proper amount of chemical to the tank and drive to the starting
place for spraying. Speed Chart

- The (3) nozzles are fixed at 17-1/2” spacing
- All (3) nozzles spraying at the same time will allow a maximum coverage of 30 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.
Maintenance During/After Spraying
Periodically check the strainer and clean the screen on your intake line. If
sprayer becomes clogged during use, discontinue use immediately. DO NOT
attempt to service while chemicals are in the sprayer and power is connected.
Proper care and maintenance will prolong the life of your sprayer. After use,
drain the tank and store or dispose of chemical properly.
Never allow chemical to sit in the sprayer or pump for long periods of time.
Fill the sprayer half way with clean water. Start the pump and allow the water
to pump through the entire plumbing system and nozzles. Drain and then refill
half full, add the recommended amount of a good quality tank cleaner, such as
FIMCO Tank Neutralizer and Cleaner. (If no tank cleaner is available, you may
substitute dish soap for this step, about 1-2 oz. per gallon). Turn pump on
and circulate through system for 15 minutes and then spray out through boom
and handgun nozzles. Refill sprayer half way with clean water and repeat.
Follow the chemical manu- facturer’s disposal instructions of all wash or
rinsing water. If boom or handgun nozzles need cleaning, remove them from the
sprayer and soak in warm soapy water. Clean with a soft bristled brush or
toothpick if necessary. Never use a metal object. Even the slightest damage
can change the flow rate and spray distribution. Water rinse and dry the tips
before storing.
WARNING: Some chemicals will damage the pump valves if allowed to soak
untreated for a length of time! ALWAYS flush the pump as instructed after each
use. DO NOT allow chemicals to sit in the pump for extended times of idleness.
Follow the chemical manufacturer’s instructions on disposal of all waste water
from the sprayer.
Winter Storage
Page 8 Prepare the sprayer for end-of-season storage by running RV
antifreeze through the system. This will keep internal parts lubricated,
protect against corrosion and keep the unit from freezing. Note: RV antifreeze
is non-toxic and biodegradable and generally safer for the environment than
automotive antifreeze. Before storing your sprayer for winter or long term
storage, thoroughly clean and drain it as much as possible. Then pour enough
pink RV antifreeze into the tank so that when the pump is turned on you can
pump the antifreeze throughout the entire plumbing system, including the
bypass. Make sure to operate the boom and handgun until you see pink fluid
spraying from the nozzles. Leave any remaining antifreeze in the tank. Before
your next usage, rinse the antifreeze from the sprayer with clean water.
It is nearly impossible to drain all of the water from the sprayer and any
trapped water can freeze in cold weather and damage parts of the sprayer.
Pumping antifreeze through the system will displace water and help prevent
this damage. Removing from storage: drain the antifreeze. Fill the tank with
fresh water and run through the system. Dispose of antifreeze and flush water
properly.

Check for proper voltage
Try another 12-Volt battery
Check for leaks in the discharge line
Check for restrictions in the discharge line
Check for debris in intake
Check for debris in nozzle orifice
Check for worn or dirty check valve
Pump surges:| Low flow may cause pump to surge
Spray Wand is adjusted to small or fine of a
spray pattern
Check for defective pressure switch
Check for leaks in the discharge line
Check for debris in nozzle orifice
Discharge hose may be too long
Check for clogged strainer/filter
Check for worn or dirty check valve
Slightly open bypass (if applicable) to overcome
Pressure switch may need to be adjusted
1/4 turn at a time clockwise until surging stops
Pump continues to run:| Check for worn or dirty check valve
Check for empty product supply
Check for Low Voltage
Check for leaks in the discharge line
Check for defective pressure switch
System has leaks
Air trapped in outlet line or pump head
Fuse blows:| Excessive voltage
Improper adjustment of pressure switch
Damaged or defective wiring harness
Defective pressure switch
Motor is NOT Running – Checking the Pressure Switch:
If motor is not running and you’ve checked the following: for loose wiring
connections, fuse, theswitch on the lead wire was “ON” and sprayer was
connected to a fully charged battery, but motowon’t run, then it’s time to
check to see if the pressure switch is bad.
- Remove the cover off the 1” square box (pressure switch) on the head of the pump, the cover is held on by one phillips-head screw. This will expose the two red wires.
- With the pump connected to a good 12 volt power source and everything on.
- Slip the two red wires off the terminals and touch them together.
♦ If the motor runs, it means the pressure switch is bad and needs to be
replaced.
♦ If motor still doesn’t run, try bypassing the switch in the lead wire or
using another lead wire. Even if a tester shows power to the pressure switch,
still try this test.
Warning: It is NOT recommended to run the pump this way, as the pump will
continue to run and not shut off.
This could result in blown hoses when all discharges are closed or premature
failure of the pump completely.
Motor Running-No Pressure – – Cleaning the Check Valve:
If you’re experiencing little to no pressure or the pump is not priming and
filter screen is clean and plumbing is good with no leaks, you may need to
clean the check valve.
- Remove the head of the pump, which is held on by 7 screws.
- The first piece inside the head of the pump is called a check valve, it’s the part responsible for building up pressure and pumping water/solution through the lines.
- Clean the check valve under hot, soapy water (such as a good grade dish soap).
- Give it a very light scrubbing with something like an old toothbrush, something with soft bristles.
- Then let it soak for about an hour or so in the hot soapy solution and replace in the pump and reassemble the pump. Most times this will restore most, if not all of the prime of a pump. If you’re still having issues with pressure after this step, it would be recommended to replace this part.
Sprayer and Pump FAQs:
♦ Why does the pump not run all the time?****
– This is an on-demand pump and only runs when a discharge is open (spray gun, bypass, boom (if applicable) or a leak is in the system.
♦ Why does the pump surge while using the spray gun?****
– Low flow/high pressure may cause the pump to surge (or cycle). Typically the spray wand is adjusted at too fine of a mist, to overcome, adjust the nozzle for a higher flow.
♦ How do I adjust the pressure?****
– Pressure can only be adjusted by opening the pressure adjust (bypass) valve to allow some of your water or solution to return to the tank (if equipped).
♦ Pump quit and will not run, what do I need to do?****
– Squeeze trigger on spray gun to ensure that the system isn’t just pressurized up with discharges closed. Check electrical connections, ensure switch is on. Check fuses. Check for proper voltage. Check pressure switch.
♦Low flow or no flow at all, what do I need to check for?****
– Check for a clogged or kinked intake hose and/or clogged intake strainer. Check for proper voltage. You will need to occasionally check your intake strainer to ensure that it is clean of any debris.
♦ What is causing the fuse to blow each time I turn the pump on?****
– Check for excessive voltage. Improper adjustment of the pressure switch. Damaged or defective wire harness or defective pressure switch.
Warning:
Ensure the wiring harness does not become pinched or damaged in any way. This
may damage the pump or cause the wiring harness to overheat, resulting in a
melt down or fire.
