SPRAYMAX USER GUIDE
SECTION 5BASIC OPERATION
POWERED REEL
Ensure all set-up instructions are complete.
When you are ready to operate the reel connect the unit to a 12 Volt power source. The reel will free-wheel out to the desired distance.
CAUTION: Do not pull hose out too fast, as the reel may “run on”, causing the hose to become entangled. When you are ready to retract the hose, press the push button on the unit. Keep tension on the hose when rewinding to enable the hose to slip into the low spot on the reel drum.
REMOTE CONTROL REEL
When you are ready to operate the reel ensure to carry the transmitter with the operator. The reel will free-wheel out to the desired distance.
CAUTION: Do not pull hose out too fast, as the reel may “run on”, causing the hose to become entangled. When you are ready, press and hold the transmitter button to retract the hose back to the unit. Always ensure the hose is in front of the operator. To operate the transmitter for retraction, the operator must be at least 2-3 meters away from the unit. Use the manual button on the radio receiver box to retract any slack hose within 2 meters of the unit.
CAUTION: Be ready to release the radio transmitter button when approaching the reel, as injury may result. This unit has been designed to operate in a continuous start/stop mode without damage to the unit. Keep tension
HINTS• If the hose becomes entangled or caught, release the retraction button immediately or damage to the
motor could result.• Keep the unit under cover when not in use.
A low power or voltage battery will cause weak or intermittent operation of the units motor. This can cause damage to the radio relay. Always insure that the 9 volt battery in the transmitter is replaced every 3 months and that the 12 volt power supply is charged on a regular basis and putting out optimal Voltage.
SPRAYMAX USER GUIDE
SECTION 5BASIC OPERATION
MAX-121. Ensure pre-operation check is complete.2. Fill tank to desired level. CAUTION: Never fill tank with the lid closed.3. Connect to a 12 Volt Power Source (see page 3)4. Allow the pump to prime and remove any air from the plumbing lines. To assist in removing air, engage to gun trigger.5. Press the Push Button on the reel to retract the hose6. (If Remote Control) - When ready press the button on the transmitter to retract the hose back onto the unit reel. CAUTION: Be ready to release the transmitter button when approaching the reel as personal injury or damage to the unit may result.
MAX-100 & MAX-1601. Ensure pre-operation check is complete.2. Fill tank to desired level.
CAUTION: Never fill tank with the lid closed.
3. Ensure the pump is in the “By-pass” position before starting the engine.
CAUTION: Always start with the pressure at 0 Bar, NEVER with the pump in pressure as this causes stress to the internal components of the pump.
4. Turn fuel valve to the on position and run engine for at least 30 seconds until all air has been removed from the plumbing lines to prime the pump.4. With the pump primed turn pressure controller lever to the “press” position.5. Adjust working pressure with the pressure knob. (Clockwise for more pressure counter-clockwise for less). 6. Open the 2 way ball valve to reel/s.7. To stop the pump – Reset the pressure controller lever into the “By-Pass” position.8. Adjust the working pressure knob back down to zero9. Turn fuel valve to the “off” position.
CAUTION:For winter storage, if freezing conditions are expected, empty pump completely and flush with a mixture of water and antifreeze to prevent unrepairable damage to your unit.
SECTION 6TUNING 915 MHZ TRANSMIT TER TO RECEIVER
Your 12 volt reel is delivered pre-tuned from the factory. If at some point you need a new radio transmitter or receiver board you will need to follow these instructions to re tune your system:
You will see in the photo description that there is a set of dip-switch codes, one set on each of the receiver and transmitter. These switches can be moved to either the up or down position. MAKE SURE THAT BOTH THE RADIO RECEIVER DIP-SWITCH CODE AND THE
RADIO TRANSMITTER DIP-SWITCH CODE MATCH, EXACTLY.
Always keep No 1 in the ON position. This will enable the remote control to operate properly. When changing the 9 Volt battery in your radio transmitter make sure not to bump any of the dip-switch codes. This would render your remote control feature unusable until the dip-switch code was put back into its original position.
If two or more 915 MHz systems are in use in the near vicinity make sure that the dip-switch codes from one system to the other are different. If they are too close in dip-switch combination radio interference or cancellation can occur from one unit to another.
***NOTE*** The working range of SprayMAX® Radio Transmitters can be affected by the many factors that typically affect all 915 MHz Transmissions. These include operating in the vicinity of high tension power lines, buildings and other obstructions, other radio transmitters, and certain other atmospheric conditions. A range of 100 meters or more can be achieved under ideal conditions.
SPRAYMAX USER GUIDE
SECTION 6MAINTENANCE
Daily Check the battery condition, water level and voltage (12 volt). Make sure all safety guards and decals are in place.
Inspect all nuts and bolts for missing or loose items and check all hoses and hose fittings for damage or leaks. Insure the aerial is a little more that finger tight to the base and in good condition.
20 hours Remove the belt drive guard and check the belt tension. Grease the reel swivel if needed. Do not over grease as damage will occur to the swivel.
200 hours Replace the 9 volt transmitter battery. Grease all bearings if needed and do not over grease. The motor brushes must be checked by an auto electrician.

WARRANTY POLICY
SprayMAX warrants to its authorised Dealer/Service Agent, who in turn, warrants to the original purchaser (Owner) that each new SprayMAX sprayer, hose reel, part or accessory will be free from proven defects in material and workmanship for twelve (12) months to the first Owner according to the conditions outlined, unless a specific warranty period applies to a component listed in appendix A.
This warranty does not cover damages resulting from shipping and handling, abuse, accidents, alterations, normal wear or failure to maintain or use the SprayMAX product with due care.
During the warranty period, SprayMAX or its authorised Dealer/Service Agent shall repair or replace, at SprayMAX option, without charge for parts and standard labour any part of the SprayMAX product which fails because of defects in material or workmanship. The Owner must provide SprayMAX or the authorised Dealer/Service Agent with prompt written notice of the defect (within 14 days of its occurrence), and allow reasonable time for replacement or repair.
SprayMAX (at its option) may request failed parts to be returned prepaid to the authorised servicing Dealer/Service Agent or SprayMAX Factory. Any travel time of a service technician and/or transportation of the SprayMAX product to the authorised servicing Dealer/Service Agent or SprayMAX Factory for warranty work are the responsibility of the Owner.
SprayMAX assumes no responsibility for improper choice of models or where products are used in excess of rated capacities and design functions, or under abnormal conditions. We make available a free technical service to help with any product selection, application or situation.
This warranty is in lieu of all other warranties (except those of title), expressed or implied, and there are no warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose.
In no event shall SprayMAX or the authorised Dealer/Service Agent be liable for downtime expenses, loss of chemicals, loss of machine use or other incidental, consequential or special damages
1. The warranty is not transferable.2. The Warranty Registration Form must be returned to SprayMAX by the Owner Operator within 14 days of taking delivery of the unit. Only when warranty registration is completed and returned, can SprayMAX fulfil all warranty obligations.3. Components and conditions not covered by warranty are:Abuse: Failure resulting from neglect, such as improper operation, lack of required maintenance or continued use of a sprayer after the discovery of a defect which results in greater damage to the unit. Environmental Conditions and Application: Deteriorated or failed components such as but not limited to: radio receiver modules, diaphragms, O-rings, hoses, seals, electrical wiring and connections damaged by corrosive chemicals, dirt and sand, excessive heat or moisture. Owners should ensure the type and strength of chemicals used in the SprayMAX sprayer, hose reel, part or accessory are compatible with the design of the unit.

Nor does it cover any freight or insurance costs in obtaining new parts or returning old parts to SprayMAX for inspection purposes.
Travel Time: Travel time required for warranty repairs is the responsibility of the owner.Diagnostic Time: Warranty does not cover time required to diagnose a warranty problem. Diagnostic time is affected greatly by the training and expertise of the technician employed to do the job. With proper training of external service personnel, diagnostic time should be at a minimum. Since SprayMAX is not in control of this factor, we do not cover diagnostic time. Non-Genuine Parts: Use of parts other than SprayMAX parts for repair of warranted items will automatically negate any warranty. Warranted components must be replaced with genuine SprayMAX parts.Unauthorised Repairs: Repairs by an unauthorised agent will automatically forfeit any warranty. Warranty repairs must be carried out by SprayMAX or an authorised SprayMAX Dealer/Service Agent only.
The judgement of SprayMAX in all cases of claims under this warranty shall be final and conclusive and the purchaser agrees to accept its decisions on all questions as to defect, repair and to the exchange of any part or parts.
