NOZZLE ASSEMBLY

Assembly

1. Utilizing the holes illustrated here, align the boom arms to the center section. Attach usingthe 3/8” hinge bolts and locknuts (28).
   NOTE: Do not tighten fully! Allow movement.

2. With the boom arms folded closed, install the springs (23) on the spring mounting tabs.

3. Add the boom to the front of the spreader.
   Rest the opened boom assembly on the extended front tubular frame of the spreader, as illustrated.
   NOTE: Center the vertical mounting brackets (A). Bolt the boom to the spreader frame using hardware from the provided U-bolt bag (31).
   NOTE: When viewed from above, be mindful that the U-bolt must pass through the opening of the vertical mounting brackets (A).

4. Using the boom support brackets (A) as a template: Drill through the mounting openings, creating two 1/4 inch diameter holes in the hopper. Place the 1-1/2 inch diameter washers on the inside of the hopper wall and insert the 1/4-20 hex head bolts in the holes. The bolt heads should be inside the hopper. They should be snug and will need to be screwed into the holes. The front face of the hopper will not be 100% flush with the boom mounting brackets.
   NOTE: Do not over-tighten the wingnut. The small lockwashers and wingnuts are used to secure the boom while in use. See illustration below

5. Clean all debris from the spreader hopper. Place the empty tank assembly (32) in your spreader hopper with the battery mounted toward the rear.

6. Hook up the boom hose wingnut (48) to the boom line valve (26).

7. Install the sprayer nozzles (54), screens (56), washers (57) and caps (55).

8. Install the handle thumb switch (15) with a screw clamp (17). Plug in the switch wiring (16).

9. Install the pump wiring assembly clips to the switch spades and connect the battery wiringassembly (19).

10. Connect swivel elbow fitting (42) to the pump inlet port (41).

11. Install the pressure gauge (34).
    CAUTION! Screw in the gauge hand-tight, with only sufficient force to prevent leaking. Overtightening the gauge can break the regulator housing (33).

Use and Care
! READ BEFORE USING

GENERAL OPERATION & MAINTENANCE

The sprayer pump is turned on and off by the thumb switch mounted on the handlebar of the spreader. Each dripless nozzle body has a special shut-off cap. The nozzle body requires 5 psi of system pressure to open, thus keeping the nozzles from dripping when the pump is off. The nozzles can be completely shut off by turning the cap clockwise. The operator can turn off individual nozzles as needed. The hand spray wand is activated by closing the boom line valve (ball valve on top of the tank) to turn off flow to the boom. To drain the tank of unused liquids, remove the spray tip from the wand and pump the remaining liquid into the proper receptacle.

• Clean pump filter daily.
• Clean tip screens regularly.
• Prevent from freezing.
• Adjust hinge lock nut tension as necessary.
• Flush with water after each use.
• Lubricate hinges with grease.

INITIAL START-UP & PRESSURE TESTING

1. Turn the pressure regulator knob counterclockwise all the way.
2. Put about one gallon of water in the tank for testing.
3. Be sure that the spray line valve is turned off.
4. Turn on the handlebar thumb switch. You should hear the pump running and see water moving through the hoses.
5. Slowly turn the pressure regulator knob clockwise to increase the pressure. You should notice movement of the needle on the pressure gauge. Adjust the pressure to 30 psi for testing.
6. With the spray wand assembled, operate the trigger valve and check it for leaks. Note the trigger lock. Also adjust the nozzle and angle adapter orientation to the desired position.
7. Turn off the switch. Turn on the boom line valve and all four caps on the top of each boom nozzle body.
8. Turn on the switch and observe the spray pattern from each boom nozzle. Check the entire boom assembly for leaks.
9. Flush out the water and antifreeze. Once the unit has been pressure tested and you are familiar with its operation, you can begin the calibration procedure.

BATTERY
RECHARGING
The SPYDSB-9G’s battery is a sealed, maintenance-free 12-volt battery.
Charging at a low rate (3 amp max.) with an automotive quality battery charger will extend battery life.
A 110-volt powered plug-in battery charger is available as an optional accessory to recharge the battery when not in use. The battery can also be recharged by the service truck’s charging system by using the optional vehicle charging kit.

SPRAY NOZZLE
SETTINGS
The SPYDSB-9G is equipped with dripless nozzle bodies and special shut-off caps.
Each nozzle body requires 5 psi of system pressure to open. This keeps the nozzles from dripping when the pump is turned off.
The nozzle bodies can be completely shut off by turning the cap clockwise, as shown. This allows the operator to turn off individual nozzles when spraying with less than the full boom width is desired.

CALIBRATION

The SPYDSB-9G is equipped with a Hypro DeflecTip wide-angle flat flood nozzle. The table below will serve as a reference for application rates.
A working pressure of 15-20 psi will provide adequate coverage.
The nozzle should be adjusted to provide a 60-65 inch spray width with a 4-6 inch overlap of the previous spray pass.

Hypro Nozzle
Number| Pressure
PSI| Capacity
GPM| Gallons per 1000 Sq. Ft.
---|---|---|---
30DT7.5| 2 mph| 3 mph| 4 mph| 5 mph
10| 0.8| 0.9| 0.6| 0.4| 0.3
15| 0.9| 1| 0.7| 0.5| 0.4
20| 1.1| 1.2| 0.8| 0.6| 0.5
30| 1.3| 1.5| 1| 0.7| 0.6

Confirming Application Rate
Because walking speeds vary, it is always best to perform a field test to confirm the application rate. The procedure is simple:

1. Measure an area at least 10,000 square feet.
2. Fill the tank with water.
3. Spray the measured area at 20 psi and at a comfortable sustainable walking speed.
4. Refill the tank from a calibrated container keeping track of the amount needed to refill the tank.
5. Divide the number of gallons used by the square footage of the area sprayed (Expressed in 1000 square foot increments).
6. Since the tank holds 9 gallons, divide 9 by the result to obtain the expected coverage per tank full.

Example:

Troubleshooting
