SECTION 3 - ASSEMBLY OF SPRAYPARTNER (continued) Step 2b: Install the tractor hitch (for Model 7455.) Continued Step 3: Install the hose and spray wand. Step 3: Install the Tank Lid. 6 Photo 4 Photo 5 Photo 7 Attach the hose holder bracket (Key #59) in a vertical position using large bolts (Key #33) with washer (Key #9), lock washer (Key #6) and hex nuts (Key #36.) Using small bolts (Key #57), lock washers (Key #12), and nuts (Key #13) in hardware bag attach the hose holders (Key #45) to the hose holder bracket as shown on page 4. One bracket is for the hose, the other is for the wire that goes to the 12V battery. Using two large bolts (Key #33) attach the tow bar tongues (Key #60) (one above, one below the tow bar) as shown on page 4. Use lockwasher (Key #6), washer (Key #9 ), and hex nut (Key #36) then tighten. Insert hitch pin (Key #61) through the holes in the tow bar tongues (Key #60.) Use a screwdriver to loosen the hose clamps (Key #16 included in the hardware bag) and place one on either end of the 15' hose approximately one inch in from each end of the hose. Take one end of the hose and slip it over the hose barb (photo 4) located at the top of the pump making sure that it fits tightly to the end of the nozzle. Use a screwdriver to open the hose clamp and slide it down to the end of the hose, over the part of the hose that is on the outlet nozzle. Then tighten the clamp. Insert the other end of the hose over the nozzle of the spray wand (photo 5), open the hose clamp and slide this clamp over the portion of the hose now attached to the wand. Then tighten the clamp. Install the two small bolts (Key #44) through the hose bracket (Key #45) and through the sprayer handle (photo 3.) Place two small washers (Key #14), a lock washer (Key #13) and a hex nut (Key #12) on each one of the bolts and tighten. Now coil up the hose (Key #19) and lay it over the hose bracket. Insert the wand into the gripper clips (Key #50) on top of the tank. Put the tank lid (Key #47) on the top of the sprayer tank (photo 7) and turn it clockwise to tighten. SPECIAL NOTE: SprayPartner battery is only slightly charged. To charge battery - refer to page 8. Your SprayPartner is now assembled and after a full battery charge it’s ready for operation.
! NOTE: The SprayPartner Tractor Model 7455 does not have a battery. Model 7455 has wires with alligator clips that connect to your tractor battery’s terminals. When connecting the towable SprayPartner, FIRST make sure the pump switch is off. Then connect the the RED (+) clip to the positive (+) side of the 12V battery. And the BLACK (-) clip to the negative (-) side of the battery. ! SECTION 4 - OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Photo 1 NOTE: Don’t be surprised if the pump on your new SprayPartner shuts itself off while you are spraying. It’s supposed to! Photo 2 Before operating your <strong>Mantis</strong> SprayPartner, make sure all bolts, nuts and hose connections have been properly tightened. Now that this has been accomplished we are going to take you for a test run. Loosen the top filler cap (turn it counterclockwise) and remove. Fill up your SprayPartner tank with water. Easy to read liquid volume levels are embossed on the side of the tank. Replace the filler cap and tighten securely (clockwise). Remove the wand from its clamps and hold in your hand. Aim the wand away from people (and other objects you do not wish to water!). With your other hand pull the knob (photo 1.) located on the right side of the electric motor. This knob activates the motor which, in turn, starts the pump. To make efficient use of the battery, we’ve equipped the SprayPartner with a special intermittent pump. This pump will automatically shut off when the sprayer has the ideal pressure (50 PSI). The pump will start again when more pressure is needed. The pump may actually remain off for several minutes at a time (especially if you are using a fine mist). This special intermittent pump is designed to give your battery the longest possible life between charges. The pump is rated at a maximum of 2.2 gallons per minute, but the actual volume during use will be lower because of the fittings and hose. With harmless water now spraying from the wand, test out the adjustable nozzle (photo 2) at the end of the wand to get a sense of the different types of sprays — from fine, wide misting, to long, far- reaching streams of water (for hard - to - reach tops of trees). Keep testing the sprayer until you feel comfortable with its operation. When finished spraying, push the knob in to turn off the pump. Release the pressure in the hose by depressing spray wand handle. Stretch the hose out on the ground. Beginning at the pump end of the hose, wrap the hose onto the hose bracket. NOTE: If the SprayPartner will not spray, check the ball valve (key #30) on the bottom of the tank and make sure it is ‘OPEN.’ How to prime the pump: Occasionally, during normal use, you may need to prime the pump. To do this, check to be sure that the filter is clean, that there are several inches of fluid over the suction hole in the bottom of the tank (full tank is best), and that the battery has at least an 8 hour charge. Remove the adjustable nozzle from the spray wand. Point the wand back into the open tank and hold the handle on the spray wand fully open. Turn on the pump. (Several minutes may be needed to prime.) NOTE: When using wettable powders, it is very important to stir the mixture periodically to prevent the powder from settling onto the bottom of the tank over the suction hole (this may result in clogged lines). 7
