99598 OPERATION

Fill the canister with the desired amount of spray material. Reposition the sprayer on the canister top and snap the clamp so it fits tightly. Check the switch to make sure it is “off” before plugging it into a 110/120 volt AC outlet. Once operating, the discharge rate of the sprayer may be adjusted by turning the discharge control.

Spray Adjustment: The 99598 has an adjustment range of 1.5 to 5.3 gallons/hr. Spray direction is variable through all degrees between 35 upward to 35 downward.

Wettable Powders: The 99598 sprays wettable powders at a maximum discharge rate of 5.3 gallons/hr. Preliminary testing is recommended to ensure that desired rate is obtainable. Shake or agitate solution periodically to keep powders in suspension.

Spray Patterns: The 99598 atomizes 95% of its output of fewer than 50 microns. The average particle size is 20 microns.

After Use: To store the 99598 or change spray materials, detach the sprayer from the canister and turn it “on” to flush out any spray material. The sprayer should be washed after which the unit should be reassembled. After use with wettable powders, detach the canister, immerse the supply tube in clear water and flush until no residue can be seen in the supply tube. Wash the canister thoroughly.

99599 OPERATION

Fill the canister with the desired amount of spray material. Reposition the sprayer on the canister top and snap the clamp so it fits tightly. Check the spray selector valve on the tube that extends from the motor housing to the tank cover plate and set it according to the desired spray pattern. “Heavy” setting is achieved with valve lever turned full left (counter-clockwise). This covers the valve opening and pressurizes the canister. “Heavy” setting produces a dense wetting spray, ideal for application of residual or surface type spraying. “Fine” setting is achieved by turning the valve lever full right (clock-wise). This opens the valve and allows air not utilized in spray discharge to escape. “Fine” setting produces ultrafine particles, ideal for flying insect control. Check the switch to make sure it is “off” before plugging into a 110/120 Volt AC outlet for 99599. Once operating, the discharge rate may be adjusted by turning the discharge control at end of the hose.

Spray Adjustment: The “fine” (unpressurized) setting has an adjustment rate of 1.5 to 3.5 gallons/hr. On the “heavy” (pressurized) setting, the adjustment rate is 6 to 14 gallons/hr. Spray direction is variable through manipulation of the discharge hose.

Wettable Powders: Preliminary testing is recommended to ensure that desired rate is obtainable. Shake or agitate solution periodically to keep powders in suspension.

After Use: When the unit is turned “off” after spraying, siphoning action may continue for a moment, resulting in a solid stream of spray material. To prevent this, tip the nozzle up straight as you switch “off” the motor, thus flushing any spray solution remaining in the discharge line back into the canister. To store the 99599 or change spray materials, detach the sprayer from the canister, immerse the supply tube in clear water, and flush until no residue can be seen in the supply tube. Wash the canister thoroughly.
