ENDURAMAXX PRODUCT INFORMATION RISK ASSESSMENT SHEET
Operating Instructions
The Enduramaxx Skid Sprayers have been designed for the application of agricultural
chemicals to plants and may be used with a handgun or in conjunction with a boom.
Setup
BEFORE USE
Check all hoses, connections and hose clamps to ensure that the unit has been
delivered to you without transportation loss or damage.
Before attempting any spraying with your new unit, partially fill with water and
operate it to familiarize yourself with its features and capabilities and to ensure
that your unit has arrived in a safe working condition.
Please contact your dealer immediately should anything appear to have been
damaged.
CONNECTING TO 12 VOLT DC SUPPLY
The Sprayer requires a 12 volt DC power source. A 2 metre loom is provided with the
sprayer to allow the sprayer to be connected to the 12 volt DC source available. The
red wire is positive and the black is negative. If you extend the wire, use wire of the
same gauge or larger. An on/off switch is fitted to the sprayer control box to allow
the sprayer to be switched off from the 12 volt DC source to prevent accidental drain
of power. The switch also allows the pump to be shut down when the tank is empty
preventing overheating and damage to pump. An in-line fuse is fitted to prevent any
potential damage to the electrical system of the vehicle. Consult your vehicle
instruction manual for correct electrical connection.
FITTING INSTRUCTIONS
It is recommended that the sprayer be securely attached to any ATV or other vehicle.
Refer to manufacturer’s instructions for appropriate load limits and fitting positions.
Note: 1 litre of water = 1kg.
Never fill spray tank to a capacity beyond the specified overall weight limits set by
your vehicle manufacturer. When fitted these should be firmly secured to approved
attachment points on the ATV or other vehicle.
