SR-1 Backpack Sprayer Rack Instructions

Determine the front and back sides of the rack before installation. The side of the square tube which has the two pieces welded to it is the back side. The front side is opposite the back side and is the side the sprayer will be attached to. The end of the tube with the stud welded to it is the top. After deciding which direction to mount the rack (EXAMPLE: if you want to access the sprayer from outside the trailer, the back side of the rack must face the inside of the trailer) use the 3/8" grade 5 bolt, U-bolt, and self locking nuts provided to attach the rack. Drill a 3/8" hole in the center of the tube near the bottom, but not close than 1 inch from the bottom and use the 3/8' bolt to attach. Use the U-bolt to attach the rack at the top location which must be at least 10 inches above the bottom mounting location. Install the U-bolt around the square tube with the legs facing the mounting location. Securely tighten al hardware and check daily.

IT IS THE USERS SOLE RESPONSIBILITY TO ASSURE THAT THE RACK IS SNSTALLED SAFELYT AND SECURELY TO A COMPONENT THAT WILL ADEQUATELY SUPPORT THE RACK AND SPRAYER AND THAT THE SPRAYER IS SECURELY ATTACHED TO THE RACK AT ALL TIMES.

Installing a sprayer onto the rack: while tilting the sprayer back, away from the rack at the top, install one side of the bottom frame loop of the sprayer onto the loop holder on the rack. While continuing to tilt the sprayer back, pivot it around towards the other side and install the other bottom frame loop of the sprayer onto the rack. Before: tilting the sprayer up towards the rack, loop the strap over the tank and lid (non-adjustable straps only) then tilt the sprayer up and place the grommet(s) over the stud at the top of the rack and secure with a lynch pin. The strap should be tight and might require some effort to install until it stretches out. On some sprayers in might be necessary to route the wand and hose through the bottom section of the strap before installing. Adjustable strap: two adjustable slides are attached to each side of the strap at the bottom. The slide closest to the grommet end (top end) of the strap is used to adjust the length of the strap. The slide at the bottom is used to cinch down the loop around the round bar on the rack and hold it in place. NOTE: the sprayer does not have to remain in the grommets onto the stud, then secure with the lynch pin. The strap MUST be adjusted so that the sprayer is held tightly against the rack at all times and requires some effort to install over the stud. Although it should not be necessary to re-adjust the strap after the initial adjustment and stretching period, it must be checked for tightness every time a sprayer is installed. The sprayer MUST be held tightly against the rack at all times.
