SECTION 3 - ASSEMBLY OF SPRAYPARTNER
(Key #’s referenced from page 10)
Step 1: Install wheels and axle. Turn the tank upside down and insert the axle through the bottom of the
metal frame. Slide one of the wheels onto each side of the axle. Insert the
cotter pins into the holes in the ends of the axle and spread the pins to
keep the wheels affixed on the axle.
STOP - If you purchased a SprayPartner Tractor Model 7455, DO NOT do Step 2a. Proceed with Step 2b.
Step 2a: Install the support stand and handle. (Omit step 2a if you are going to install Optional Tractor Hitch)

With tank upside down (photo 1), insert the stand with the curve facing
up. Install the front stand (Key #37) through the openings in the front of
the frame and line up the holes through the frame with the holes that are
in the support stand. Insert the large bolts (Key #33) with flat washers
(Key #9) through the frame and into the support stand. Add lock washer
(Key #6) and a hex nut (Key #36) into each one of the openings (leave all
the hex nuts loose for now, making sure that all the bolts line up with
the holes. This will be an easier process when the nuts are loose). When
finished, tighten all bolts for the front stand.
Insert the sprayer handle (Key #43) with the end that has holes drilled in
it into the slot on the front of the sprayer frame (Key #35) (photo 2.)
Make sure the handle is angled toward the top of the tank. Line up the
holes on the frame with those on the handle. Insert a large bolt (Key #33)
through the frame and into the handle. Add a washer (Key #9), lock washer
(Key #6), and a hex nut (Key #36). These can be finger tightened.
Next, take the last of the large bolts (Key #33), a large washer (Key #9),
and lock washer (Key #6). Put the bolt through the handle (photo 3) and
the frame plate. Turn it into the nut which is fixed at the bottom of the
sprayer tank (photo 2.) Tighten this and the other nut that is holding the
handle onto the tank and the frame. Now turn the sprayer over (right
side up) and set it on its wheels.
Step 2b: Install the tractor hitch. (Omit step 2b if you do not have the SprayPartner Tractor Model 7455)

Shown with offset up
Install 4 bolts (Key #56) through right and left frame rails and frame plate.
Add Washer (Key #9), Lock Washer (Key #6) and Hex Nut (Key #36.)
Determine if you need the offset of the tow bar (Key #58) up or down.
This is done by measuring the height of your tractor hitch. If your hitch
is 9” or less put the offset down. If more than 9” put the offset up. See
photo B.
Insert the tow bar (Key #58) through the square hole on the front of the
sprayer frame. Line up the holes on the frame with those on the tow bar,
making sure your offset is correct (see step 2.) Insert a large bolt (Key #33)
through the frame and the tow bar (Key #58.) Add a washer (Key #9), lock
washer (Key #6), and a hex nut (Key #36.) These should be loosely tightened.
Next, take a large bolt (Key #33), lock washer (Key #6) and washer (Key
#9), and put the bolt through the tow bar and thread it into the nut which
is fixed at the bottom of the sprayer tank. Tighten this, the other nut that
is holding the handle onto the tank and the frame and all other nuts. Now
turn the sprayer over (right side up) and set it on its own wheels.
