5. Before doing any maintenance on the BatchBoy be sure you have read the safety section of this manual Protect yourself from the hazards of agricultural chemicals by wearing all required safety clothing and equipment including shoes gloves body suit face shield respirator and goggles Handling chemicals is dangerous Exposure to chemicals or their vapors can be hazardous to your health and safety Please refer to the safety section of this manual for further instructions Very little maintenance is required to keep your BatchBoy looking and operating like a new unit The most important thing you should do is rinse the unit after every batch of chemical using the Rinse Valve This will keep the inside of the measuring chamber and all working components of the unit clean and free of chemical residue that can accumulate and gum up to cause Keep the unit clean Rinse the unit with clean water to keep dust and dirt from accumulating as well as washing off any chemical that may have collected on the outside of the unit Keep all plumbing connections and hoses leak free Be careful when working on the BatchBov Remember that components will be contaminated with residual chemical The best thing you can da for your machine is to keep it rinsed and clean Rinse it often after every batch of chemical Page 40 Pump Systems L L C RRE V 03 2012 WINTERI ZING Keep the unil from freezing

7. Can you pre batch with the BatchBoy No the BatchBoy is meant to replace pre batching With a BatchBoy rather than pre batch you make the batch when you need it where you need it and how much you need You can think of it as making the batch as you fill the sprayer What makes the vacuum A venturi located under the base As water is traveling through the venturi it creates a vacuum What if you put too much chemical in the measuring chamber The same thing happens that will happen if you accidentally run too much chemical through your meter or the same thing that will happen if you accidentally pour too much chemical into your sprayer Page 63 Frequently Asked Questions tank It is too late At some point in time you will cross beyond the point of no return and filling the measuring chamber with chemical is on the other side of the point of no return As an operator you need to plan what you want to do and you need to be paying attention to what you are doing How fast does it Filling time depends on many variables the performance of your transfer pump the length and size of the plumbing line from the BatchBoy to the chemical containers the viscosity of the chemical the elevation of the chemical containers with respect to the BatchBoy the plumbing line going to the sprayer etc Under average normal conditions the BatchBoy will fill it s chamber in 1 1 2 2 minutes It takes 1 2 1 minute to
8. Chemicals can become viscous resisting flow through plumbing lines Long lines and especially eibows can significantly slow the of viscous fluids Page 14 Pump Systems L L C RRE V 03 2012 If you are mounting the BatchBoy truck or trailer itis a good idea to use a flexible line such as a hose between the chemical containers and the BatchBoy This will allow some independent movement between the unit and the chemical containers The clean fresh water you use to fill your sprayer tank must pass through the BatchBoy on it s way to the sprayer tank The inlet for this water is the 3 manifold fitting near the back of the unit You need to plumb your water source to this inlet installation having a shut off valve in the line between your water source and the You will need to attach a hose to the outlet of the BatchB oy that will be used to fill your sprayer tank All plumbing piping and hoses should be supported and secured so that they do not hang or tug on the BatchBoy your pump the chemical containers or your nurse tank To your sprayer tank Typical plumbing system Page 15 Pump Systems L L C RRE V 03 2012 OPERATION SAFETY Only qualified experienced personnel should operate the BatchBoy giving it their full attention and alertness We insist that the operating personnel using this unit have sufficient technical knowledge an
