Install pressure gauge (C-1) and ball valve (C-2) to output manifold as shown. Insert lead wire assembly into plug at rear of pump. Join red wire of the lead wire to a +12V source on the garden tractor. The black wire should be grounded or connected to the negative battery post. C-1 C-2

WAND TUBING TO MANIFOLD

Install wand tubing (C-7) to manifold as shown using supplied hose clamp (C-3). NOTE: Do not over-tighten pressure gauge. C-3

C-7INSTALL DRAIN CAP

Install cap lanyard around drain plug. Screw drain cap (C-5) on drain plug. C-5

VALVE OPERATION Relief Hose to top of tank. Pump Bypass Valve This lever adjusts the system pressure by relieving liquid back to the tank. Adjusting this lever will increase or decrease pressure to the Spray Wand or the Spray Boom. To Spray Wand Spray Boom On/ Off Switch To Spray Boom (if equipped) Chapin Spot Sprayer Operator’s Manual - English

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.BREAKDOWN & PARTS LIST

Chapin Spot Sprayer Operator’s Manual - English 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. Note: 15 gallon tank shown

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).

1. 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.

2. Why does the pump surge while using the spray wand?

Low flow may cause the pump to surge (or cycle). This could happen when the spray wand is ajusted for a small or fine spray pattern. To overcome, slightly open the by-pass valve or open nozzle slightly.

3. How do I adjust the pressure?

Pressure should be adjusted by regulating the by-pass valve (slightly opening or closing).

4. What is the optimal operating pressure?

40 PSI - This can be accomplished by turning on the pump and adjusting the bypass valve until the gauge reads 40 PSI (or slightly higher). The pump will run continuously. Ensure that the boom and/or handgun is not spraying while you set the pressure. The pressure will drop slightly when the boom and/or handgun is operated.

5. What pressure should the pressure gauge read?

Please refer to the operation instructions for boom operating pressures, varying boom pressures can be achieved by regulating or adjusting the by-pass valve. Typically the spray wand will be operated between 20 and 40 PSI.

6. 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 and/or fuse in car adapter end. Ensure correct voltage +/- 10%. 12-13 volt

7. 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.

8. Is there a fuse for the sprayer?

Yes, either an in-line fuse, a fuse located in the car adapter housing or both.

9. What size fuse should I use as a replacement?

10. What is the range of the spray wand?

11. 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. 8E12. 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.

13. Each time I turn on the pump my fuse blows.

• Improper adjustment of the pressure switch

• Damaged wiring harness.

14. Pump continues to run and surge when not spraying.

Ensure your system has no leaks. Check by-pass valve to ensure it’s not letting too much fluid to bypass. If too much fluid is bypassed, the system is unable to build enough pressure to shut-off.
