SPEEDOMETER

This machine is equipped with a GPS Speedometer. Please note that if the speedometer has been powered

o longer than 4 hours, it could take up to 1 minute to acquire signal due to the satellites moving signicantly

from your location. This is normal. The current draw is extremely low and will have virtually zero impact on a

battery's charge. Hot start wire should be connected directly to battery +12volts and should remain powered

100% of the time. When GPS gauge rst receives power the needle will sweep full counter clockwise towards

0 mph. Pointer will stay at 0mph and oscillate slightly at zero to indicate the GPS is acquiring satellites. GPS

is not yet functional to indicate speed. Once satellites are acquired (15-45 seconds), the pointer will swing full

scale and then back toward 0 mph to indicate it is now ready for operation.

Operation

PARTS MANUALS AVAILABLE ONLINE AT smithco.com

OPERATION

Before using the Spray Star 1750, the operator and spray technician must familiarize themselves with all of the informa-

tion on chemical spraying contained in the Turf Spray Guide.

All testing and calibrating of sprayers is to be done with water, not chemicals. This

insures the safety to all involved in performing the calibration operation. Only after all

calibration procedures are completed should chemical be added to the sprayer.

TOWING UNIT

When it is necessary to move the Spray Star 1750 without the engine running, the bypass valve built into hydrostatic

pump must be "open" by turning it

turn to open. The valve is located on the back side of the pump. An "open" valve al-

lows uid to pass through the wheels freely. When normal driven operation is desired, valve should be "closed" by turning

it clockwise. Failure to "close" the valve with engine running means no power to wheels.

HILLSIDE OPERATION

Do NOT stop or start suddenly on any slope. Be especially cautious when changing direction. Do NOT operate on slopes

greater than 10°.

BATTERY

Batteries normally produce explosive gases which can cause personal injury. Do not allow ames, sparks or any ignited

object to come near the battery. When charging or working near battery, always shield your eyes and always provide

proper ventilation.

Battery cable should be disconnected before using “Fast Charge”.

Charge battery at 15 amps for 10 minutes or 7 amps for 30 minutes. Do not exceed the recommended charging rate. If

electrolyte starts boiling over, decrease charging.

Always remove grounded (-) battery clamp rst and replace it last. Avoid hazards by:

1. Filling batteries in well-ventilated areas.

2. Wear eye protection and rubber gloves.

3. Avoid breathing fumes when electrolyte is added.

4. Avoid spilling or dripping electrolyte.

Battery Electrolyte is an acidic solution and should be handled with care. If electrolyte

is splashed on any part of your body, ush all contact areas immediately with liberal

amounts of water. Get medical attention immediately.

JUMP STARTING

Use of booster battery and jumper cables. Particular care should be used when con-

necting a booster battery. Use proper polarity in order to prevent sparks.

To jump start (negative grounded battery):

1. Shield eyes.

2. Connect ends of one cable to positive (+) terminals of each

battery, rst (A) then (B).

3. Connect one end of other cable to negative (-) terminal of

"good" battery (C).

4. Connect other end of cable (D) to engine block on unit being

started (NOT to negative (-) terminal of battery)

To prevent damage to other electrical components on unit being

started, make certain that engine is at idle speed before discon-

necting jumper cables.

TANK AGITATION

SPRAYER VALVE SETTINGS AND SPRAY TANK AGITATION

The ball valve on the suction side of the pump, between the tank and the pump must be open before pump is

engaged. Close this valve only when necessary to clean the lter with spray material in the spray tank.

There is one manual ow control valve on the discharge side of the spray system. This valve controls the

agitator. This valve may be opened as much as necessary to provide hydraulic agitation through the quadra-

jet agitator in the tank bottom. This valve may be partially closed to prevent or reduce foam buildup from the

spray materials inside the tank. When the liquid level in the spray tank reaches a certain level (usually 1-25

gallons (3.8-95 Liters) depending on terrain and other conditions) it may be necessary to close the valve in

the agitator line in order to prevent loss of suction prime.

If your Spray Star is tted with a hose reel, there is a second ball valve on the discharge system to supply ma-

terial to the hose reel.

The Quadrajet agitation system operates with four venturi jets in the tank bottom. These jets have replaceable

orice discs which discharge the following amounts of spay material.

You can change orice disc sizes to enhance spray system performance. Smaller discs reduce amount of agi-

tation (desirable in some foaming materials) and make more dischargeable liquid available for nozzles. Larger

(or none) discs increase amount of agitation and make less dischargeable liquid available for nozzles.

AGITATION LINE STRAINER CLEANING

Agitation line strainer is located below the sprayer lter. This strainer catches

impurities that go to the turbo-jet agitation system in the spray tank. It has

a quick disconnect pin on it to remove the bowl. After EVERY use, remove

bowl and clean screen. Replace screen as needed. We recommend a 50

Mesh screen.

SPRAYER CLEANING

One of the most common causes for faulty-pump performance is corrosion inside the pump. Flush the pump and

entire system with a solution that will chemically neutralize the liquid pumped. Mix according to manufacturer’s

directions. This will dissolve most residue remaining in the pump, leaving the inside of the pump clean for the next

use.

TO PREVENT CORROSION

After cleaning the pump as directed, ush it with a permanent type automobile antifreeze (Prestone, Zerex, etc.)

containing a rust inhibitor. Use a 50% solution that is, half antifreeze and half water. Then coat the interior of the

pump with a substance which will prevent corrosion such as Fluid Film or WD40. If unit will not be used for an ex-

tended period of time, disconnect hoses into and out of the pump, seal openings to the pump with caps or tape.

Dispose of uids according to all federal, state and local regulations.

All chemicals and chemical residue must be removed after each use. Dispose of

uids and residue according to all federal, state and local regulations.

SPRAYER CLEANING

Empty tank and clean unit thoroughly after each use following these instructions:

1. Turn o 3-way valve and rinse inside of tank thoroughly with clean water, remove cap from valve to drain.

2. Fill tank ten percent full with clean water, Turn 3-way valve on and start pump and discharge water through

spray hose or spray boom (with nozzles removed), until empty.

3. Turn o 3-way valve again and rinse tank interior thoroughly. Remove cap from 3-way valve to drain.

4. Rinse exterior of sprayer thoroughly with clean water.

5. This sprayer is equipped with a self cleaning strainer. The strainer uses the excess pump ow to bypass clog-

ging particles back to the spray tank. There is a gap between the tapered inner cylinder and the screen face

that causes the inlet uid to ow at a high velocity past the screen face providing a continuous wash down of

particles. For this wash down to occur a minimum of +GPM/23 l/min is required through the bypass line.

AGITATION LINE STRAINER CLEANING

Agitation line strainer is located below the sprayer lter. This strainer catches

impurities that go to the turbo-jet agitation system in the spray tank. It has a

quick disconnect pin on it to remove the bowl. After EVERY use, remove bowl

and clean screen. Replace screen as needed. We recommend a 50 Mesh

screen.

MANUAL HOSE REEL

Located at the back of the Spray Star on top of the tank. Open the ball valve

located near the manifold valve to allow uid to ow into the hose reel. Place

the lockout pin in the unlocked position by pulling and turning it half a turn, this

will allow you to pull out additional hose or to use the handle and wind up the

hose. To prevent movement during transport or storage place the lockout pin in

the locked position.

ELECTRIC HOSE REEL

Located at the back of the Spray Star on top of the tank. Open the ball valve

located near the manifold valve to allow uid to ow into the hose reel. To un-

wind hose just pull on the hose to get the desired amount. To wind up the hose

make sure the toggle switch is in the ON position, push the momentary push

button switch until you have reeled in the amount of hose desire. Turn o the

safety switch when not in use.

FOAM MARKER

Located to the right of the control panel. Use lever on compressor to designate which boom is to be used to dis-

pense foam. Use dial located on the foamer to adjust pressure for the amount of foam that will be dispensed.

Switch on compressor also turns foamer on or o.
