float pin, remove it before operating the

sprayer. The boom will float over the con-

tours of the ground more effectively and mini-

mize stress on the boom.

Basic Sprayer Operating Guidelines

9. Apply spray when the wind is 5 mph or less.

Minimize drift by using nozzle tips with the

largest practical openings and by operating

the sprayer boom at the lowest practical pres-

sure.

10. Drive at the same speed you used in your

calibration. Refer to Miles Per Hour Calibra-

tion in the Tee Jet manual.

11. If possible work crosswise to the wind, start-

ing from the downwind side of the area to be

sprayed. Do this so you won’t ever be head-

ing directly into chemical fumes.

12. As you operate the sprayer, be aware of all

things that may be affected by the chemicals,

such as adjoining property, houses, gardens,

people, etc. Do not operate the sprayer if

damage can occur.

13. When you are finished spraying, empty the

tank and flush the sprayer with water, includ-

ing the pump, the nozzles and the bypass line

form the solenoids. Properly store the chemi-

cal emptied form the tank or dispose of it by

the recommendations on its label.

14. When turning at the end of a run, make sure

that the boom will not overlap on areas previ-

ously sprayed.

1. Make sure to read the label on the chemical

compound that is to be applied; it is the law!

2. Consider how the chemical will be stored and

how you will dispose of the chemical, accord-

ing to the chemical label. Planning in ad-

vance may save much trouble later.

3. When calibrating, filling the tank or working

around chemicals, wear protective clothing

that covers the body. Refer to Personal

Safety Equipment in the “Important Safety

Information” section. Have soap and clean

water available to wash any exposed areas.

Never open a container with your bare hands.

4. Fill the hand wash tank on the sprayer with

fresh water before handling any chemicals.

5. Fill the sprayer and mix the chemicals at an

appropriate mixing site.

6. By law, you must repeat the rinsing of the

chemical container three times. The con-

tainer should then be punctured to prevent

future use. An alternative is to jet-rinse or

pressure rinse the container.

IMPORTANT: Any washing or mixing that pro-

duces contaminated liquid should take place at

an appropriate mixing site. Chemically contami-

nated liquid should be captured in a holding tank

for proper disposal and not be allowed to run off

where it may contaminate fresh water sources.

Plumbing Operations

(Manual Control System Only)

Refer to Figure 2-1

7. Check the condition of hoses and connections

frequently. Release system pressure before

working on the sprayer by shutting off the pump

and flipping the individual boom section switches

on the control box. Always wear rubber gloves

connected valve is open. The fluid will pass through the Pre-setting the Pressure Control Valves

valve and travel to the specific boom section (left, center (Manual Control Systems Only)

or right) and is delivered to the area to be treated

through the sprayer boom nozzles. If the particular

switch is off, the solenoid is de-energized and the con-

nected valve is closed. In this case, the fluid travels

through the bypass and returns to the tank sump.

NOTE:

Before beginning this procedure make sure your throt-

tling valves are adjusted. Refer to Calibrating the Throt-

tling Valves in General Operations starting on page 19.

You can monitor the nozzle pressure gauge and adjust To adjust the pressure control valves and achieve a de-

lowing:

1. Open the electric control valve (by toggling the pres-

sure switch at the control box) until the valve is fully

open.

2. Turn the boom sections off so that the liquid is trav-

eling through the bypass line and retuning to the

tank.

3. Operate the pump at the same RPM you would

when spraying.

4. Adjust the manual pressure control valve until the

boom pressure as indicated on the pressure gauge

by the control box is 10 to 20 PSI greater than the

maximum application pressure.

There are tank shut off valves at every tank outlet so

that if there is a leak, the contents of the tank can be

secured and a chemical spill avoided. These valves

(except for the tank drain valve) need to be fully open

when the sprayer is in use.

IMPORTANT: Do not use the vehicle’s PTO con-

trol to control the spraying action. When the PTO

is disengaged, the pump stops turning, all agitation

of the chemical stops and the sprayer loses system

pressure. Use the MASTER on/off switch of the

boom section switches to control spraying action.

Using Handwash Tank

In the event when an accident occurs and chemical

comes in contact with skin or eyes, use the hand-

wash tank to flush away the chemical.

1. Open the tank valve and use the hose to direct

the clean water on all contaminated areas.

Wash all areas of skin that have been contami-

nated with soap and water. To flush out eyes,

point the hose and water stream upward while

lowering eyes into the stream of following wa-

ter.

2. Close the tank valve and refill the handwash

tank with fresh water.

3. Clean and refill the handwash tank with fresh

water each time the sprayer is used. Always

keep the handwash tank clean.

Anti-Siphon Fill Assembly

CAUTION

When filling the sprayer tank, make sure that

the anti-siphon holes in the side of the tube are

clear and open. The anti-siphon device pre-

vents the solution in the tank form infiltrating

into the fresh water source and contaminating

it.

Your Locke Turf Sprayer tank is filled form the top

through a standard 1-1/2” Cam-Lock coupler.

Operating the Filter

1. To fill the tank, first make sure that the tank

drain valve is closed. Open the knife valve on

the fill assembly.

2. Connect the fresh water hose to the quick-fill

camlock coupler. Make sure that the anti-

siphon holes in the side of the fill tube are clear

and open.

3. Turn the water on and fill the tank. Do not al-

low the tank to fill unattended. When filled,

close the knife valve.

Your Locke Turf Sprayer is equipped with a Tee Jet

filter to remove unwanted particles from the systme

and prevent the hoses from becoming clogged.

The filter is located on the output line of the cen-

trifugal pump and before the manual pressure ad-

justment valve. It filters the chemical solution being

sprayed.

To clean out the filter, unscrew the main body, re-

move screen and clean with clear water.

4. Clean and fill the handwash tank.

Adding Chemicals to the Tank

CAUTION

Driving and Parking

1. Park your sprayer in an area where you will not

hit power lines, building, etc. when boom is

folded.

Read the manufacturer’s label carefully before

handling chemicals. When you add the chemi-

cal, follow the manufacturer’s instructions for

mixing the spray solution in order to achieve

the desired application rate. Always wear re-

quired protective gear.

DANGER

Contact with electrical power lines can cause

death by electrocution.

2. Don’t leave the sprayer unattended in an area

where unauthorized persons may tamper with

the sprayer, tank contents or controls.

This will produce larger droplets. For exam-

ple, your desired gallon per thousand square

feet (GPT) application rate is 1.01 GPT at 4

miles per hour. Refer to the nozzle charts in

the Tee Jet manual.

Sprayer Pre-Calibrations

General Guidelines

1. Wear proper protective clothing as described

in Personal Safety Equipment on page 6.

2. From the chemical manufacturer’s label and

field conditions, select a spray application

rate and an operating speed.

4. Find the ounces per minute output for the

nozzles to be used. See the Tee Jet manual.

5. With water in the sprayer, catch the nozzle

output at the desired pressure for one minute.

For large nozzles, catch the output for 30

seconds and multiply the amount by two.

6. If the nozzle is not within the ± limit, check for

obstructions or wear in the orifices of the noz-

zle. Take the cap off the nozzle, clean the

orifices with a toothpick or brush and retest.

If several nozzles test the same, but are not

within ± limits, a faulty gauge may be the

problem. If two or more nozzles are outside

the limit, it is a good indication that all of your

nozzles may be warn. In this case, it would

be advisable to replace all the nozzles with

new nozzles.

IMPORTANT: If you are unsure of what you are

doing, get help. Do not guess at application

rates.

3. Be familiar with the type of chemical you are

using. Completely read the label before start-

ing.

4. Have all equipment ready before starting your

sprayer calibrations.

5. Make sure all spray parts are free from for-

eign material and are functioning properly.

Carefully inspect nozzles and internal parts

for wear, defects, proper size and type.

6. Fill spray tanks with water at least one quar-

ter full and preferably half full.

EXAMPLE Calculation for spraying nitrogen:

Spraying Solutions Other Than Water

It is desired to apply 34 GPA (gallons per acre) of

nitrogen in 20” rows. (28% N, density if 10.65 ib/

gal from the chart above)

The calculations in this section are based on spray-

ing water, which weighs 8.34 pounds per U.S. gal-

lon. The conversion factors in the table must be

used when spraying solutions which are heavier or

lighter than water. In order to determine the proper

size nozzle for the solution to be sprayed, multiply

the desired GPM or GPA of solution by the water

rate conversion factor. Then use the new con-

verted GPM or GPA rate to select the proper size

nozzle.

From the Density Conversion Table, we find the

conversion factor for 28% nitrogen is 1.13.

GPA (Solution) x Conversion Factor = GPA

(34 gal/acre) (1.13) = 38.42 gal/acre on the

nozzle charts.

Pressure adjust switch on the control box. The boom

pressure is displayed by the boom pressure gauge. To

adjust the pressure, hold the pressure adjust toggle

switch up for more pressure, down for less pressure.

Boom Height

The boom height should be 24” as measured from the

nozzle to the ground surface. This is the standard

boom height for all turf booms. This distance is set dur-

ing assembly and should not be changed. Any change

in this height will affect the spraying coverage. At a

boom height of 24” the overlap of the nozzles is 100%.

When the manual pressure adjustment valve is fully

opened, the pressure adjust switch is very sensitive.

To decrease the sensitivity of the pressure adjust. Set

the manual pressure adjustment valve.

Tank Straps

The tank straps that wrap around the sprayer tank may

become loose after the first few hours of operation.

This occurs when the tank settles in the saddle. Poly-

ethylene tanks are especially susceptible to this. Re-

tighten the tank straps to secure tank.

To set the manual pressure adjustment valve, fully

open the electric pressure control valve with the pres-

sure adjustment switch. Close the manual pressure

adjustment valve so the pressure is about 20 psi

greater than the desired application pressure. With this

valve set, it will decrease the flow through the electric

pressure control valve and reduce the sensitivity of the

pressure adjustment switch.

Pump Mount

Check the hardware mounting the pump to the sprayer

frame after the first few hours of operation. Tighten if

necessary.

Solenoid Valve Adjustment

Refer to Figure 4-1:

Solenoids & Throttling Valves

(Manual Control System Only)

The electrical solenoids used to turn on the individual

boom sections are three way valves. These valves

route the product flow to the boom sections or back to

the tank sum, depending on whether the boom section

switches on the control box are turned on or off.

NEVER REMOVE THE THROTTLING VALVE FROM

THE VALVE BODY WITH CHEMICAL IN THE

SPRAYER. DOING SO WILL CAUSE A CHEMICAL

SPILL AND WILL EXPOSE YOU TO THE CHEMI-

CALS, CAUSING PERSONAL INJURY AND DAM-

AGE TO SURROUNDING VEGETATION AND/OR

PROPERTY.

When a boom section switch is turned to the off posi-

tion, the electric solenoid is de-energized and the valve

is closed, diverting the flow back into the tank sum. To

insure that the flow going to the boom section and the

flow going back to the tank’s sump are the same, a

throttling valve is used to adjust the flow returning to

the suction inlet of the pump. If the throttling valves are

not set equally, their flows are not equal and every time

the boom section switch is flipped, the pressure will

either rise or decrease in the other boom sections,

causing the sprayer to over or under apply chemical in

those boom sections.

The solenoid valves must be properly adjusted in order

for the valve to stay open for long periods of time while

spraying. Also, if the solenoid is out of adjustment, the

valve may leak through the bypass port.

If sections of the boom switch off by themselves during

spraying and the coil (#1) is hot, the valve is out of ad-

justment. This can be corrected by adjusting the arma-

ture stop.

Valve Adjustment Procedure

To set the three solenoid throttling valves, refer to Cali-

brating the Throttling Valves in “General Operations”

section starting on page 21.

1. Make sure that the Boom Control Switches are in

the “off position before continuing.

2. Loosen the jam nut (#2) with a box-end wrench.

3. While holding Jam Nut #2, turn the armature stop

(#3) clockwise with a large standard screwdriver

1/4 turn.

4. Now turn on corresponding switch and listen for a

“click” indication coil is energized.

5. Repeat step 4 until a “solid” contact sound is heard.

This adjustment is necessary only if you have prob-

lems with the solenoid.

Pressure Adjustments

(Manual Control System Only)

One fo the most important areas of controlling the

sprayer accuracy is to have the proper pressure when

spraying. Refer to Pre-setting the Pressure Control

Valves in “General Operations” section stating on

page 21.

The pressure is determined when the sprayer is cali-

brated. Refer to Calibration Method #1 in the “Turf

Application Guide” section starting on page 16.

6. After adjustment is made, tighten jam nut.

The electric pressure control valve is used to adjust the

pressure to the booms. It is controlled with the

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

2. Open tank and inspect interior for contaminating

materials.

3. If the sprayer is equipped with a pump drive en-

gine (in addition to the vehicle’s engine), check

fuel and oil levels.

4. Perform an electrical system check on the boom

solenoids and pressure control switch. The sole-

noid switches will emit an audible click when the

switch is opened or closed. The pressure control

valve will make noise when the pressure control

adjustment switch is engaged. If any part fails,

refer to “Troubleshooting” section starting on page

26. Turn all switches off when finished with this

step.

General Notes for Field Operation

1. Lubricate the sprayer as needed. Refer to “

Maintenance and Lubrication” section start-

ing on page 24.

2. When transporting the sprayer, do not exceed

20 mph and do not unnecessarily transport with

chemical in the tank. Fasten the level-float pin

in the lock position (if applicable) before folding

the boom and transporting it.

3. Make sure all tank shut off valves (except the

tank drain) are opened.

4. Calibrate sprayer with water only. Calibrate

with the sprayer tank half full of water. Refer to

Tee Jet Manual.

5. Open the pump suction valve.

5. Adjust throttling valves on the solenoids and

the manual pressure adjustment valve.

6. Inspect and clean, if necessary, pump nozzles

and filter.

6. Open the agitation valve. Refer to Figure 5-1 if

you are not sure whether a valve is open or

closed.

7. Make sure the material you wish to apply can

be used in your sprayer without causing dam-

age to the pump seal.

Figure 5-1 Valve Position Identification

IMPORTANT

The Hy Pro pump supplied with your sprayer is not

designed for use with every application. Materials

containing solvents, paints or solutions containing

abrasives will damage the pump. If you are unsure

of your chemicals, consult your dealer for suitability

or your application.

8. Safely and carefully add the chemical to the

sprayer tank. Always wear protective equip-

ment when handling chemicals. See Personal

Safety Equipment in “Important Safety Infor-

mation” section starting on page 5. By low,

chemical containers must be rinsed three

times. The container should then be punctured

to prevent future use. An alternative is to jet-

rinse or pressure rinse the container. Follow

chemical manufacturer’s recommendations for

safe handling of chemicals.

9. Check the sprayer initially and periodically for

loose bolts, pins and hose clamps. Check the

hoses, pumps, valves and fittings for leaks.

10. Make sure that the hand wash tank is full of

clean water.

7. Open the manual pressure control valve located

next to the electric pressure control valve.

8. Extend the boom sections. Check with the Boom

Operator’s manual if you are unfamiliar with the

operation of the boom. If using a level float boom,

remove the locking pin.

9. Some booms are equipped with a ball valve at

each nozzle. If so equipped, open these valves.

10. To operate the turf boom at a 15’ width, fold the

outer sections of the boom and close the ball

valves in front of the nozzles in the outer sections.

Note: this option is not present on all booms.

11. Attach water hose to the anti-siphon fill assembly.

Make sure the knife valve is open and fill the tank

at least 1/3 full, more if performing complete sys-

tems check.

Preparing the Sprayer

NOTE

Refer to Plumbing Diagram on page 13 if you need

help identifying specific sprayer components.

1. Close drain valve, air clean out valve and filter

clean out valve.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

12. Start the vehicle’s engine (and pump engine if so

equipped), turn the master switch on (turning on the

pump) and set the throttle to maintain a minimum of

50 PSI on the agitation gauge. If agitation pressure

does not rise immediately, prime the pump by bleed-

ing air through the air clean out valve. Open the air

clean out valve and insert sharp object on the air

valve core to let air escape for ten seconds or until

water is seen at the valve. Close the air clean out

valve. An alternative method is to slightly open the

filter clean out valve, closing it once water is seen at

the valve.

13. Visually inspect hoses and all connections for leaks.

14. Refer to Tee Jet manual to determine pressure and

speed for desired chemical application rates.

15. Turn the boom section switches on and adjust the

manual pressure control valve to 10-20 PSI above

the desired operating pressure. This reduces the

sensitivity of the electric pressure control valve and

allows more precise adjustment from the control

box.

6. Adjust the gray knob on the left throttling valve until

the pressure again measures 20 PSI on the large

gauge. Firmly lock the gray jam nut against the

knob to hold the knob’s position.

7. Turn the left boom section on and off several times.

If the pressure does not stay at 20 PSI, readjust the

gray knob.

16. Calibrate throttling valves as described in the next

section. Calibration is not necessary every time the

sprayer is used but must be performed after chemi-

cal changes and to ensure the system is operating

properly. It does not harm the system to recalibrate

the throttling valves each time the sprayer is used.

17. Remove the nozzles from the check valve bodies

and flush the boom feed lines briefly by turning the

boom sections on. This will remove any debris that

may accumulate in the feed lines. Turn the boom

sections off, inspect the check valves and dia-

phragms and replace the nozzles.

8. When finished with the left boom section, proceed to

the center boom section. Turn the left boom section

on, the center boom section off and the right boom

section on. Adjust the center throttling valve in the

same manner as the one just completed.

9. When finished with the center boom section, adjust

the right boom section. Turn the right section off,

the center and left boom sections on and calibrate

the gray valve in the same manner.

All three throttling valves are now set to maintain

constant boom pressure regardless of which boom

sections are turned on.

18. Visually inspect nozzle spray patterns for streaking

or plugged nozzles. Clean or replace worn or dam-

aged nozzles as needed. Set the nozzle angle at 20 When spraying at high gallon rates or extremely viscous

degrees rearward.

spray solutions you may see the pressure rise when all

three seciton s of the boom are turned off. This condi-

tion is caused by too much fluid trying to bypass back to

the tank agitation. As long as the boom pressure re-

turns to the desired gauge pressure when one or more

boom sections are on, there are no adverse effects on

spraying accuracy.

Calibrating The Throttling Valves

Refer to Figure 5-2:

1. Start by closing all three gray throttling valves by

loosening the jam nut and tightening the knobs all

the way down and then backing off each knob one

complete turn. Do not use excessive pressure.

2. Start the engine and turn the master switch on.

3. Turn on all three boom section switches at the con-

trol box.

Adding the Chemicals

NOTE

These procedures are general guidelines for mixing

4. Adjust the pressure adjust switch on the control bow chemicals. Carefully follow the manufacturer’s instruc-

until the nozzle pressure measures 20 PSI as indi-

cated on the large gauge at the control box.

tions and use these steps in addition when applicable.

5. Turn the left boom section off. Leave the other two

sections on. This will cause the boom pressure to

increase at the other town boom sections.

IMPORTANT

If you have not calibrated your sprayer, do so before

starting this section.

1. If using a wettable powder, make a slurry in a sepa-

rate container by adding water to the chemical, in

accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

2. Add the slurry to the sprayer tank with the pump

running and the agitation valve open. The agitation

pressure should be at 50 PSI and all boom sec-

tions should be off.

open the ball valve and allow the discharge from

the hose to flow into a bucket. After the liquid turns

clear, close the valve and return the contents of the

bucket into the tank.

3. Add other fertilizers or chemicals once the original

slurry is circulating throughout the system. Con-

tinue filling the tank with water (or other specified

liquid carrier). Do not leave the sprayer unat-

tended.

4. Let the sprayer run for 5-10 minutes before spray-

ing the chemicals to allow adequate mixing.

5. See manufacturer’s recommendations to determine

the application rate for the desired chemical and

Tee Jet to determine the specific application pres-

sure and travel speed for your application.

6. Turn the boom on when the vehicle is moving to

prevent over-applying the chemical in any one

spot. Operate the pressure adjust switch on the

control box to adjust boom pressure while spraying.

Using the Air Cleanout Valve

1. Open all valves including drain valve. Allow the

tank to drain completely.

2. Open the air cleanout ball valve and attach a shop

air line (30 PSI maximum, safety clip type recom-

mended) to the air valve.

3. Close the pump suction valve located under the

tank. The air will force out any water in the agitator

line, agitator head and the line connected to the

boom pressure gauge.

4. Close all valves except the manual pressure con-

trol valve. Turn on the master, left, center and right

control switches. Allow the air to blow out all boom

feed lines, manifolds, nozzle lines, check valves

and nozzles. A whistling sound will be heard at

each nozzle when it is clear.

5. Disconnect the air line and close the valves.

6. Open the filter drain valve and allow any liquid and

foreign material in a safe and responsible manner.

Emptying the Tank after Spraying

1. Empty the tank while spraying whenever possible.

Closing the agitation valve when the tank is nearly

empty will allow you to almost completely empty

the tank on the field.

2. Use the drain hose to empty the tank.

Cleaning the Solenoid and Throttling

Valves

NOTE

Solenoid and throttling valves must be flushed with

clean water daily to assure proper valve operation.

If you have access chemical remaining in the tank, it

must be handled and disposed of in an EPA approved

method. Consult the manufacturer’s label. Do not

empty chemicals into drains, sewers or onto the ground

as it can contaminate nearby water sources!

1. With the pump running and the master switch on,

turn on the three boom sections to flush out

sprayer nozzles.

2. Turn all boom sections off to force water through

the throttling valves and bypass line. Repeat sev-

eral times.

3. Periodically clean each throttling valve by unscrew-

ing its gray knob until it stops. Allow the valve to

thoroughly flush with water.

3. If you are changing chemicals or preparing the

sprayer for storage, the entire system, including

pump, hoses and boom sections needs to be emp-

tied and cleaned.

Cleaning the Sprayer

4. Recalibrate the throttling valves as described in the

previous section before using sprayer again.

1. After emptying the sprayer tank, add clean water to

the sprayer and allow it to circulate through the

system. Spray this rinse water onto the field that

was last sprayed. While the sprayer is being

flushed on the field, turn the boom sections on to

flush out the boom sections, check valves and noz-

zles and turn them off to flush out the throttling

valves and bypass lines. Repeat this step several

times. Make sure the solenoid and throttling valves

are thoroughly cleaned. See Cleaning the Sole-

noid and Throttling Valves in next column.

IMPORTANT

When finished with the sprayer, make sure all switches

on the control box are off.

Protecting the Sprayer from Freezing

If the sprayer is to be stored in freezing or near-freezing

conditions, protect the pump and plumbing system by

draining and cleaning the system and pumping RV anti-

freeze solution through the plumbing system.

2. The boom pressure gauge is equipped with a ball

valve that is used to clean out any chemical that

has built up under the gauge protector. With clean

water in the sprayer tank and the pump running

NOTE

Locke Turf strongly recommends the use of recrea-

tional vehicle anti-freeze.

Maintenance

While the sprayer is being flushed at eh field, turn

the boom section switches on to flush the nozzles,

then turn them off to flush out the throttling valves

and bypass lines. Repeat this procedure several

times. Periodically clean each throttling valve by

unscrewing the adjustment knob until it stops. Flush

it with the fresh water by operating the pump with

the boom section switches off. Reset the solenoid

throttling valves a described in Solenoids & Throt-

tling Valves on page 19.

Proper servicing and adjustment is the key to the

long life of any implement. With careful and sys-

tematic inspection, you can avoid costly downtime

and repair.

Equipment Clean Up

Cleaning your sprayer is one of the most important

parts of a regular maintenance program.

Nozzles should be cleaned with a low pressure air

hose and replaced when out of tolerance. Have a

source of water near by so you can clean the spray

tank and applicator out in a suitable location.

Never wash tank out in the yard or at a car wash.

The boom pressure gauge has a ball valve that is

used to clean out any chemical that has built up un-

der the gauge protector. With the sprayer tank full

of water and the pump running, open the ball valve

and allow the water to run in a bucket. After the liq-

uid coming out of the hose turns clear, turn off the

ball valve and dumb the contents of the bucket into

the sprayer tank.

Dispose of leftover chemical in the same manner

described on the manufacturer’s label of the chemi-

cal last used in the sprayer. Rinse out the tank and

spray the rinse water on the last area that was

sprayed.

If the pump seal is leaking causing a drip between

the volute housing and aluminum bearing housing,

the seal may be covered with gritty chemical residue.

If the ceramic part of the seal is cracked, the pump

may have been run dry. If the pump seal spring does

not firmly attach to the impeller during assembly it will

come out of alignment and cause the seal to leak. In

this case the impeller will need replacement. Any

damage to the pinion shaft may cause pump leak-

age.

General Maintenance Information

CAUTION

BEFORE SERVICING OR MAKING ADJUSTMENTS

ON THE SPRAYER, ALWAYS DISENGAGE POWER,

SHUT OFF THE ENGINE, MAKE SURE ALL MOVING

PARTS HAVE STOPPED AND ALL PRESSURE IN

THE SYSTEM IS RELIEVED.

Check the conditions of hoses and connections fre-

quently. Release the system pressure before working

on the sprayer. To release the pressure. Flip the

boom section switches on and off without the pump

running. Always wear rubber gloves when making re-

pairs or adjustments. Make sure all personal Safety

Equipment (gloves, goggles, etc.) listed in page 6, is

stored in an easily accessible place but protected from

potential contamination from dust or chemicals.

If the pump is not leaking it can be pressure tested by

closing the agitation valve and the manual pressure

control valve to build up maximum pump pressure.

At high engine speed, the pump pressure should reg-

ister 70—80 psi on the agitation gauge. If pressure

fluctuates, the impeller may be loose or clogged with

debris. The impeller can be opened and cleaned by

removing six screws in the back side of the impeller.

Check the sprayer for any loose bolt, pins and hose

clamps. Check the straps holding the tank in place and

tighten when necessary.

Carefully inspect the fiberglass housing for cracks,

especially around the webs and bolt holes. Air leaks

will prevent the pump from building up pressure.

Check the hoses, pumps, valves and fittings for any

leaks.

CAUTION

NEVER USE FIGERS, HANDS OR ANY PART O FY-

OUR BODY TO INSPECT THE SPRAYER! IF YOU

SUPECT A LEAK, USE A PIECE OF THICK PAPER,

CARD STOCK OR CARDBOARD INSTEAD OF

YOUR FINGERS TO FIND THE LEAK. MAKE SURE

YOU ARE WEARING ADEQUATE EYE PROTEC-

TION WHEN VISUALLY INSTECTING FOR LEAKS.

HIGH PRESSUER LIQUID CAN EASILY PENETRATE

SKIN!

Inspect all parts of the sprayer for wear and rust. Re-

pair and paint parts as necessary.

Pump Maintenance & Repair

The Hy Pro pump (also refer to Hy Pro Pump Manual)

is designed for long life and service. Eventually, there

may be a need to replace the mechanical seal or ser-

vice some component of the pump. A mechanical seal

may weep slightly but if it starts to drip, the pump will

have to be disassembled. Before you disassemble the

pump, be sure to wash it out with fresh water.

If the pump is leaking, before you remove it from the

sprayer, run the pump with adequate water in the tank

to diagnose the actual pump problem. If fluid leaks out

between the suction housing and the pump volute

housing, the housing gasket may be dried out. Give

the gasket adequate time to absorb moisture and swell

up. If necessary, retighten the volute housing by alter-

nating on opposite sides until all nuts are torqued to

16—18 ft.lbs. It is a good practice to apply grease to

both sides of the gasket to prevent shrinkage.

Detailed Troubleshooting - Pressure Problems

Use the charts in this section for specific diagnosis of sprayer problems. When troubleshooting, try the

solutions in the order presented. If the first step does not solve the problem, continue until the problem

is solved. If none of the steps solve the problem, call your dealer for help.

Solution

Problem

a. Make sure there is fluid in the tanks (Yes, it has happened!)

1. No Pressure Reading

on agitation gauge after

starting engine.

b. Make sure that agitation valve, manual pressure control valve,

pump suction valve and bypass valve are open.

c. On electric clutch units, check drive belt. Tighten if necessary.

d. On PTO drive units, check coupler between engine and pump.

Tighten if necessary.

e. Make sure that gauge cleanout, air cleanout valve, filter drain valve

and tank drain valve are closed.

f. Check for obstructions in bottom of tank and in suction hose and

fittings.

g. Tighten all ball valves, hose clamps and fittings on suction side of

pump to stop any air leaks that prevent pump from priming.

h. Check for collapsed suction hose.

i. If unit is equipped with an electric clutch, check for power to clutch.

j. On hydraulic units, make sure vehicle’s hydraulic PTO is engaged.

k. Hydraulic lines may be disconnected or connected backwards.

a. Clean filter.

2. Pump is primed, but

very low pressure regis-

ters at agitation or con-

trol box gauge

b. If filter is clean, check for chemical buildup under rubber diaphragm

in gauge protector or at gauge inlet hole if diaphragm is broken.

Replace diaphragm is broken, clean hose leading to agitation

gauge if necessary.

c. With pump operating, clean hose leading to control box gauge by

using ball valve located on remote magnet mount.

d. Check for cracked pump suction housing and volute housing. Re-

place if necessary.

a. Pump could be losing prime. Tighten all hose clamps, fittings and

valves on suction side of pump.

3. Pressure gauge on con-

trol box fluctuates while

spraying.

b. Check that the air clean out valve is closed.

c. With pump operating, clean hose leading to control box gauge by

using ball valve located on remote magnet mount.

d. If fluctuation occurs only when tank level is low, problem could by

caused by vigorous agitation or whirlpools in tank. Turn agitation

head so jets are aimed toward corners of tank.

e. To empty tank completely while spraying, turn off agitation ball

valve while spraying the last few gallons.

f. Fluctuations in engine speed will cause pressure to change. Make

sure that engine speed is constant.

g. If a filter is installed on suction side of pump, clean this filter.

h. Check for foreign matter blocking the tank or floating inside of pump

suction line.

i. On hydraulic drive units, check hydraulic fluid level. Add fluid if

needed.

Problem

Solution

4. Agitation gauge registers

pressure but control box

gauge reads zero or is very

sluggish after nozzles are

turned off.

a. On PTO drive units, check coupler between engine and pump.

Tighten if necessary.

b. With pump operating, clean hose leading to control box gauge by

using ball valve located on remote magnet mount.

c. Check gauge protector to see that it is filled with oil to within 1/8” of

top of threaded hole.

d. Swap agitation gauge and control box gauge to check for faulty

gauge.

e. Inspect electric solenoid valves to see that they are opening and

closing properly. Solenoid valves require 12 volts to open properly.

Valves may need cleaning, adjustment, repair kit or new coil. Low

voltage or a weak battery will result in valves not opening com-

pletely.

5. Moving the pressure adjust

switch on the control box does

not change nozzle pressure

but both gauges show some

pressure.

a. Check that manual pressure control valve is open.

b. Turn sprayer and engine off, hold the pressure adjust switch and

listen at the electric pressure control valve for whirring sound which

indicates that the motor is turning the valve.

c. With the engine running, visually inspect the nozzles to see if the

pressure is changing. If pressure is changing, clean hose leading

to control box gauge by using ball valve located on remote magnet

mount. If problem persists, swap agitation gauge and control box

gauge to check for faulty gauge.

d. If whirring sound is not heard, check electrical connections and fuse

in the control box.

e. If fuse is good, check with 12 volt tester to see fi pressure adjust

switch is receiving current from fused wire and sending signal to the

electric pressure control valve. Replace switch if faulty.

f. If current is good, check with 12 volt tester to see if pressure adjsut

switch is receiving current from fused wire and sending signal to the

electric pressure control valve. Replace valve if faulty.

6. Nozzle pressure cannot be

reduced below 20-30 psi.

a. Check electric pressure control valve operation as follows: With unit

spraying, hold the pressure adjust switch up. The pressure on the

control box gauge should increase to a maximum pressure, remain

high for about 10 seconds and then drop to minimum pressure.

Check wire connections, valve operation and voltage to switch and

valve. Replace valve if necessary.

b. Tank agitation may be restricted. Check that agitation valve is

open and agitator head has four jet streams shooting out.

c. Relieve excess pressure on electric pressure control valve. Open

electric pressure control valve to maximum pressure, then close the

manual control valve unit control gauge reads 15-20 psi above de-

sired nozzle pressure.

7. During calibration control

box gauge reads about 30 psi.

Nozzles are spraying about 10

psi. When catching flow of

nozzles, there is a large pres-

sure drop.

a. Check application guide for flow rate and catch nozzle flow to deter-

mine pressure drop.

b. Swap agitation gauge and control box gauge to check for faulty

gauge.

c. Check for clogged or pinched boom feed lines from solenoids.

d. Inspect electric solenoid valves to see that they are opening and

closing properly (Page 19). Solenoid valves require 12 volts to

open properly.

Valves may need cleaning, adjustment, repair kit or a new coil.

Low voltage or a weak battery will result in valves not opening com-

pletely.

Problem

Solution

8. Suspect faulty control box

gauge because pressure

changes when turning off

boom sections.

a. Throttling valves are becoming plugged. Open gray throttling

valve with nozzles turned off and allow flow to flush out valves

for about 15 seconds per valve. Reset throttling valves.

9. After correctly setting the

throttling valves, boom pres-

sure will not stay constant

when a section of the boom is

turned off.

a. Throttling valves are becoming plugged. Unscrew gray knob on

throttling valve with boom sections turned off and allow to flow to

flush out valves for at least 15 seconds per valve. Reset the

throttling valves when finished.

b. Look for a restriction in the bypass line between the throttling

valves and the tank. If nozzle pressure returns to normal when

one or more boom sections are turned on, spraying accuracy is

unaffected.

c. Reduce flow to agitation by partially closing agitation valve Make

sure that there is still adequate agitation after adjusting.

d. Check to be sure that manual pressure control vavle is open.

e. Increase engine RPM to increase pump output.

Plumbing Problems

11. Flow to one boom section is

different than flow to other

boom sections (as con-

firmed by catching flows of

each nozzle).

a. Low Flow: Check the boom feed line for that boom section for

blockage or kinks. Inspect check valves, nozzles, metered

manifold and electric solenoid valves for obstructions and chemi-

cal buildup. Remember, low voltage or a weak battery will result

in valves not opening completely. Check hose length leading to

manifold. If hose length is considerably longer than other sec-

tions, cut hose length to match length of other boom sections.

b. High flow: Check the boom feed line for that boom section for

length. If feed line is much shorter than other boom sections,

replace with longer line. Check to see that all nozzles are the

same size.

a. Recheck calibration.

12. Too much material is being

applied; rate is not as cali-

brated.

b. Ground speed is slower than calibrated speed. Recheck speed

using method in application guide.

c. Check to make sure all nozzles are correct and the same size.

One oversized nozzle will result in over-application.

d. Check nozzle spacing.

e. Check control box gauge.

f. Overlap of rows may be too great causing double application in

some area.

g. Check levels in tank. Less than calculated amount would falsely

indicate over application.

h. Check for worn nozzles. Nozzles should be within 10% of

specs. Replace if necessary.

i. Check for possible wheel slippage.

Problem

Solution

13. Not enougn material is be-

ing applied; rate is not as

calibrated.

a. Recheck calibration.

b. Ground speed is faster than calibrated speed. Recheck speed

using method in application guide.

c. Nozzle size smaller than size used for calibration.

d. If the pressure at the manifolds and nozzles is less than pres-

sure at the control box gauge (#3), feed lines to booms may

need to be cleaned.

e. Check for worn nozzles. Nozzles should be within 10% of

specs. Replace if necessary.

f. Check the travel pattern. Not enough overlap during spraying

may result in under-application by leaving areas unsprayed.

g. Check control box gauge. IF actual rate is less than gauge indi-

cates, suspect a faulty gauge.

h. Check levels in tank. IF tank level was more than amount cal-

culated, a false underapplication condition occurs.

I. Check for filter screen blockage.

j. Check for loose pump impeller bolt.

k. Check for clogged impeller channels. (Requires pump diassem-

bly; try all other options first.)

14. Nozzle flows across boom

are inconsistent and vary

several ounces high or low.

a. Check nozzles for obstructions in feed holes. Clean nozzles

with toothbrush or suitable brush. Steel picks, nails, etc. will

damage the nozzle.

b. Inspect the check valve in front of each nozzle. Clean and in-

spect rubber diaphragms. The correct rubber viton diaphragm is

marked with a “v”. EPDM rubber diaphragms will become swol-

len and will not work.

c. Check hose barbs screwed into the metered manifolds. If hose

barbs are screwed too far into the manifold, flow can be re-

stricted.

15. Diaphragm check valves at a. Disassemble diaphragm cap from body and check that the cap

spring moves freely.

b. Inspect the diaphragm. Clean or replace if necessary.

c. Increase spraying pressure. About 15 psi is required at the

check valve to hold it open.

d. Check the control box gauge for faulty reading.

16. Nozzles continue to spray or a. Clean diaphragm in check valve at nozzle. Look for debris or

dribble after boom is turned

nicks which would allow leakage.

b. If problem still appears, check solenoid valve for that section for

proper adjustment of foreign matter on the seat washers in the

valve. Replace washers and seals with valve repair kit if neces-

sary.

17. Nozzle shows streaking or a a. Angle nozzles 20 degrees rearward.

collapsed pattern; nozzle

drips while spraying.

b. Nozzle cap is obstructed or scratched. Clean nozzle gently with

water or solvent, using a toothbrush to clean the orifice hole in the

cap. Use a pipe cleaner to clean the metering feed hole in the

body. Steel picks, nails, etc. will damage the nozzle.

c. Disable the nozzle and clean inside surfaces, threads and any

sealing surfaces where the cap meets the body. Carefully inspect

the cap and body for any nicks, wear or chemical buildup. Tighten

nozzle cap firmly with torque wrench to 30 ft.lbs.

d. If nozzle output is high, the metering feed hole or internal cavity is

worn. Replace the nozzle.

e. Check nozzle spacing for correct overlap. Use 20” spacing on turf

booms.

f. Make sure that windy conditions are not affecting the spray pattern.

g. Check boom height.

18. Throttling valves must be

readjusted after each tank

sprayed.

a. Debris catching in throttling valves. Open gray throttling vale with

nozzles turned off and allow flow to flush out valves for about 15 sec-

onds per valve. Reset throttling valves.

b. If problem continues, replace filter screen with 50 mesh screen.

19. Liquid leaks out around tank a. Check for proper lid fit.

lid while spraying.

20. Chemicals will not stay in

suspension.

a. Make sure agitation valve is open.

b. Check for obstructions or kinks on the agitation line.

c. Inspect agitator head for plugged holes.

d. Increase flow and pressure to agitation by increasing pump seed.

Do not exceed 4000 RPM or 90 psi.

e. Make sure chemicals were mixed properly. Do not allow chemi-

cals to settle in tank.

f. Agitate longer before spraying.

21. Pump leaks.

a. Check housing for cracks.

b. Housing gasket may be dried out and leaking. Allow gasket time

to absorb moisture and retighten bolts around housing in an even

manner.

c. Seal leaking, causing drip between pump and bearing housing. If

pump has been run dry, seal may be cracked. Replace seal.

d. Pinion shaft may be damaged at sealing surfaces. Replace.

22. Ball valve leaks.

a. Loosen end caps, then retighten equally to keep internal parts

from shifting.

b. If still leaking, disassemble valve and check that o-rings are in

good condition. Replace if necessary.
