CDA SPRAYER C/W FLOAT,

10L TANK AND BATTERY CASE.

ABOUT CDA SPRAYER

An electric sprayer that allows the fulfillment of optimal treatments with capacity of 10
litres.

This sprayer is manufactured in durable and impact resistant material. It is chemical

resistant an UV stabilized.

The sprayer has been designed using the very latest technology to give longevity and
reliability.

The battery is rechargeable 6 volt 3 Ah S.L.A unit (Sealed Lead-Acid).

The power requirement of the motor is only 0.10A.

The charger is able to complete battery recharge in 8 hrs.

Test has shown that the drop in voltage and current is insignificant to cause he drop in
motor speed even after continuous use of over, as such giving a consistent spray
distribution.

Benefits:

Reduction of waste.

Improved safety for the operator.

Reduction of the environmental risks.

Chemical saving.

Reduction of spraying time.

Reduction of application costs.

AN EFFECTIVE PRODUCT IS NOT ENOUGH.

THE PRODUCT ITSELF MUST BE CORRECTLY APPLIED.

1
 PROTECTIVE CLOTHING

When applying herbicides with the CDA sprayer the following items MUST be worn:-

• Rubber gloves and boots

• Long Sleeve shirt.

• Long Trousers.

• Eye goggles.

It is also recommended to wear:-

• Disposable coverall OR an apron.

PREPARING FOR SPRAYING

The sprayer is delivered in a collapsed form. To assemble ready for spraying:

1) Extend the sprayer and securely connect the feed tube 1 to the flow valve.
2) Connect the male 3 pole connector 2 from the lance to the tank female 3 pole
connector 5 and lock the both connector.
3) Remove the atomiser protective cover 4 and check by hand that the atomiser
disc spins freely.
4)Turn on the switch 3 .

2
 STEP-BY STEP FAULT FINDING PROCEDURE

Motor Not Functioning

1) Battery terminal is not inline with the sprayer's terminal.

2) Faulty battery or carbon formed on the terminals.
3) Loose connection of battery or switch terminal.
4) System short circuit.
5) Electric motor of the pump has decayed.
6) Charging was done correctly.
Switch 3 should be in ON position when charging, 3 pole connector is
connected properly.

Motor Functioning But Not Spraying As Desired

1) Nozzle is blocked.
2) Disc is blocked.
3) Hose is blocked.(Rane cases)
4) Motor has worn out.

Tank Is Leaking At The Side

1) Valve (STMC-021-10045) is broken.

2) Washer (STTK-012-10019) has worn out or missing.
3) Hose clip is loose or broken.

METHODS OF USE

For more detailed information on preparation and use of sprayers refer to the
manual supplied with the CDA sprayer.

Pre-mix the herbicide product in the required volume of water in the 10 litre
backpack (see section below on mixing and calibration) and attach the backpack to
the sprayer.

Hold the sprayer at an angle of between 30° - 40° to the ground with the atomiser
head positioned about 20cm above the weed. Soil age or soil surface. In this
position the atomiser head should be angle slightly forward to spray away from
operator. N.B. make sure the spray head is more that 60cm away from the operator
avoid contamination.

 MAINTENANCE AFTER USAGE

The sprayer must be decontaminated inside and out with mild solution of detergent,
followed by complete FLUSHING with clean water and run pump to clean the
systems as well.

• Do not attempt to h into base compartment and hand lance, if necessary

just wipe them with a DAMP CLOTH.

• Remove nozzle and s for individual cleaning.

• Store separately if the sprayer is not going to be used for several days.

• Nozzle need to be replaced every 6 months based on usage and s to be

replaced when necessary.

RECHARGING THE BATTERY

i. Connect the battery charger male 6 3-pole connector to the tank female 3-pole
connector 5 and lock the both connectors.
ii. The tank’s switch 3 should be in ON position.
iii. Connect the battery charger plug to the main electric power and switch on. The Red
static ‘in charging’ and the green static ‘done charging’ indicator will glow. The
battery will need to recharge for 8 hours.
iv. After done with charging, remove the battery charger 6 from the main electric
power and disconnect the 3-pole connector.

PROLONGED INACTIVITY

• If the CDA sprayer will not be use for a long time remove the battery and store it
in a cool and dry place.

• Recharge battery every 3 months.

 GENERAL PRECAUTIONS

• Do not switch the sprayer on with disc cover not removed, this may damage the
serrated disc.

• Fill the tank only through the tank r in order to avoid blockage of the nozzles.
(Avoid spillage)

• NEVER USE CLASS ONE PRODUCTS WITH CDA SPRAYERS.

• Use only clean water without impurities.

• Do not start spraying without g the tank cap y.

• Distribute the chemical evenly, keeping the nozzle at an adequate distance from
the surface to be treated.

INSTRUCTION BEFORE USAGE

• Make sure that GREEN DIODE lights up with static (this occurs when the battery
is fully charged and switched to trickle charge).

• Check the FILTER and NOZZLE to make sure it is free from any blockage or
sediments.

• Make sure that all FILTERS, O-RING and NOZZLE is in place correctly and
su ciently tight to avoid leakage.

• Always pour liquid into the tank through tank r and avoid spillage on
backrest.

• Make sure tank cap is close properly.

• Adjust straps to suit individual sprayer operators.

• Wipe o any spillage on the tank surface.

IN FIELD USAGE

• Never drag the sprayer on the ground or on weeds while transporting and when
reloading the liquid.

• Avoid the disc hitting the ground or weeds while spraying, this could also cause
blockage to the nozzle and disc.

• An adequate distance to be kept from the surface to be treated.(20cm)

* Switch on the atomiser disc and then open the w tap. Liquid should be seen
g down the hose pipe to the atomiser head.

* With the lance held preferably to the side of the operator walk at a moderate pace
(around 54 meters in one minute). This will treat a 1.2m wide strip and will cover
an area of 65 meter square each minute.

* When spraying has d close the w tap and then switch o the atomiser.
Raise the spray head up to an angle of 45 ° (with the spray head uppermost) and
then open the tap w valve to allow any remaining liquid in the hose pipe to
back to the tank. Close the tap w valve.
* For ease of transport the tank can be disconnected (use the flow valve to isolate any
liquid left in a backpack) and the sprayer collapsed (OFF the switch and disconnect the
3 pole connector).

MIXING AND CALIBRATION

With the CDA sprayer, herbicides are usually applied in around 25 litres of water per
hectare.

To prepare the spray mix, select the rate of product to be applied per hectare then
add su cient water to make up to the total application volume required.

E x a m ple : f o r o n e h e c ta r e

Glyphosate rate - 3 litres

Add water - + 7 litres

Total volume - 10 litres

Note:
When applying herbicide products ALWAYS follow the label recommendations.

The following table can be used to select the correct feed nozzle:
Appendix 1
Total Spray Swath Width Feed Flow Rate Walking Speed
Volume (M) Nozzle (ml / min) (m / sec)
25 1.2 3 166 0.9

* Some products when mixed in water can be slightly viscous and the actual
rate through each nozzle may be necessary to use a larger feed nozzle.

* Sprayer calibration should be checked regularity by measuring the actual

rate. This is done by removing the feed nozzle from the spray head and
measuring the amount of spray liquid in a measuring cylinder over a period of 1
minute. When measuring the w rate hold the sprayer at the normal spraying
angle.

NB. Actual required w rates can be calculated using the formula in Appendix 1.
