SECTION 5 - USE OF RECOMMENDED OPTIONS (ACCESSORIES) 2-NOZZLE SPRAY BOOM: Item 7411 Allows precise spraying of two garden rows at one time and for applying fertilizers or weed killers to lawns. “BE PREPARED” HANDY ITEM KIT: Item 7418Provides you with peace of mind and virtually guarantees that future spraying jobs won’t be stopped because you need a vital part. SECTION 6 - CHARGING THE BATTERY (DOES NOT APPLY TO TRACTOR MODEL) Charging the Battery Your SprayPartner Battery should last for many years if you give it proper care. After spraying approximately 2 to 5 tanks full (depending on type of usage, operating temperatures, etc.) your battery may need charging. Note: If your pump runs for 1 1/2 hrs. at a full charge, your battery is holding it’s charge correctly. Please follow these instructions: 1.) Insert the metal end of the charger into the battery charging receptacle located on the side of the stainless steel battery case. Make sure the plug is inserted as fully as possible. 2.) Plug the box-like end directly into a standard wall socket. (Do not use an extension cord.) 3.) Charge your battery for up to 8 hours. 4.) See seperate charging instructions that come with your charger. NOTE: If battery is totally discharged (the pump will not even run), charging may take up to 16 hours. Do not charge battery more than 16 continuous hours at any time. (Extensive charging can harm the battery and will void the warranty.) 8 TRACTOR HITCH: Item 7413Allows you to pull your SprayPartner along in total ease and comfort behind your garden tractor or riding mower. Accessories are available from your local authorized Mantis dealer. The Handy Item Kit contains: Spray Nozzle 2 Hose Clamps ‘O’ Ring Fuse Filter Bowl 2 Mesh Screens 2 Nylon Elbows 12-VOLT LONGLIFE BATTERY: Fully contained DC power system (never have to add water) which can take regular charging for many hours. PLUG-IN BATTERY CHARGER: Helps guarantee a full charge at all times (and uses a minimum amount of power to do so!) Extra batteries and chargers are available from Mantis. If the battery is a replacement, a new jack assembly is not necessary. Disconnecting the Battery from Sprayer. 1.) Remove battery case lid. 2.) Carefully remove the black wire going to the battery at the connection on top of the battery. This is the negative wire and the battery’s marked with – (negative) and + (positive) symbols. Repeat this process with the red wire (positive lead). 3.) Remove the 4 bolts holding the metal battery case to the tank. Carefully remove battery. 4.) When reconnecting make sure that you connect the black wire to the negative (–) section and the red wire to the positive (+) section. SPECIAL NOTE: Some customers like to purchase an extra battery to have on hand “just in case.” You should also purchase an extra jack assembly in order to charge the battery without having to place it in the SprayPartner’s battery box.
SECTION 7 - MAINTENANCE OF SPRAYPARTNER Cleaning Your SprayPartner tank should be cleaned after each use. It should also be cleaned before storage and before changing chemicals. Use a mild detergent soap and flush with clean warm water. How to Drain Tank Turn off the pump. Locate the ball valve (key # 30) under your SprayPartner (see parts breakdown on page 10). Close the ball valve. Unscrew the bowl (Key # 31C) and remove the strainer screen (Key # 31B.) Open the ball valve, and the tank will drain through the bowl opener. Flush with clean water if necessary. Replace the strainer screen and bowl. Close the ball valve. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER TO CLEAN THE BOWL AND STRAINER Cleaning of Bowl and Strainer Screen Locate the bowl (Key #31C) and Strainer Screen (Key #31B) under your SprayPartner (see parts breakdown on page10). Carefully remove the bowl and Strainer Screen. Clean the bowl and strainer screen as needed during operation and before storage. NOTE: When replacing bowl be sure not to over tighten. This may cause bowl to crack. *Does not apply with Tractor Model. SECTION 8 - PARTS LIST (FLOJET PUMP #500100) If pump fails to turn off - after discharge valves are closed, check: • Out of spray material • Punctured pump diaphram • Leak in hose • Defective pressure switch • Insufficient voltage to pump • Defective pump check valve • Warn pump bearing. Storage Before storing for the season, charge the battery. Clean and dry the tank, pump, and hose. Store in a clean, dry area. Winterizing Tips To assure that your SprayPartner will perform well for you next spring; there are two very important things that you must do. 1.) Clean and flush out the tank, hoses, nozzle, etc. with warm water and a mild detergent and then rinse with clear water. Run it until it's dry (it won’t hurt the pump) so that no water is left to freeze. *2.) The sealed lead acid battery is designed to last for many years, but it must not be left dormant all winter. You should charge it once a month. If it’s more convenient, simply disconnect the battery and put it in a shed or in a dry cellar and periodically charge it there. See page 8 for instructions to disconnect the battery. NOTE: DO NOT LEAVE THE CHARGER CONNECTED FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME. An 8 hour charge is all you need. Over-charging will cause damage to the battery. Then store it away where it will be relatively dry and dust - free. Do this and your SprayPartner will be ready to serve you next season. SPECIAL NOTE: If you are in an area with freezing temperatures, remove bowl when storing, to avoid cracking the bowl. Be sure to order any new parts and supplies you may need for your next spraying season. Order from your local authorized Mantis dealer.
