pattern in FIGURE 18. (4-foot when using the 30 PSI unloader
valve installed)
Adjust as follows:
Rotate the nozzle body on the pipe nipple so that the spray
pattern is pointed slightly forward.
Adjust the spray nozzle body so that the pattern width,
measured from outermost droplets to outermost droplets, is
3 FEET (.91 meters). Increase the pattern width by
raising the nozzle level. Decrease the pattern width by
lowering the nozzle level.
Repeat the procedure for the LOW GEAR Trim Nozzle (DG Tee
Jet 9503 EVS color coded Blue). Remember to turn off the
HIGH GEAR Spray Selector Valve. [If the Half Gallon Nozzle
Kit is installed, both Broadcast Nozzles will be used
simultaneously.]
Filling the Tanks
IMPORTANT: When filling, DO NOT add concentrated product
to an EMPTY Tank because the concentrate may be drawn into the
plumbing and sprayed through a Nozzle directly onto a lawn

causing turf damage. Instead fill both Tanks halfway and then add
concentrate.
IMPORTANT: When filling, DO NOT add ALL the concentrate to
ONE Tank because the concentrate will not be evenly
distributed and sprayed through a Nozzle directly onto a lawn
causing turf damage or lack of efficacy.
There are two methods to fill the Tanks:
Method 1: It is recommended that the Pesticide be Pre-mixed in
the proper ratio with water in a Supply Tank, and dispensed equally
as needed into the Triumph Tanks.
Remove both Tank Lids.
Add Pre-mix desired equally divided between both Tanks. DO
NOT overfill.
Replace both Tank Lids checking to be sure the Lid Gaskets
are in place.
Method 2: Add Pesticide concentrate in the proper ratio with
water directly to the Tanks.
Remove both Tank Lids.
Using the Gallon marks on the rear of the Tanks calculate the
amount of fill desired for each Tank separately. Refer to
Calibration instructions in this section for additional help.
Calculate the amount of water required for each Tank.
Calculate the amount of Pesticide required for each Tank.
If the Tanks are empty or nearly so, add one half of the water
required then add Pesticide required followed by the remaining
water.
Calibrating the Sprayer
Calibrate machine ground speed to 143 FEET in 20 SECONDS ± 1
SECOND.
Set up a 143 FOOT long test course. Measure a distance of 143
FEET (44 meters) over turf.
Measure the elapsed time it takes to travel the 143 FOOT test
course. Your elapsed time must be 20 SECONDS ± 1
SECOND.
If your elapsed time is different:
With the machine in neutral run the engine at full throttle.
Check and adjust engine RPM to deliver an elapsed time of
Sprayer Operation and Calibration
20 SECONDS (normally 3450 RPM).
Bucket check HIGH GEAR Nozzle output.
With the machine in neutral and both Brakes locked, start the
engine.
Select the HIGH GEAR Broadcast Nozzle using the HIGH
GEAR Spray Selector Valve (I). Turn off LOW GEAR Spray
Selector Valve (J).
Place a catch receptacle in position to catch the entire spray
pattern from the Nozzle. [If the Half Gallon Nozzle Kit is
installed, approximately ONE HALF GALLON PER THOUSAND
SQUARE FEET is applied.]
Pull the Throttle Lever to accelerate the engine to 3450 RPM.
Pull the spray lever to begin spraying. Spray for 1 MINUTE,
collecting the nozzle output.
Measure the collected spray.
[If the Half Gallon Nozzle Kit is installed, approximately ONE
HALF GALLON PER THOUSAND SQUARE FEET (1.9 L ±
0.95 milliliters) is applied.]
Correctly align ALL Nozzles. Refer to Adjusting Nozzles for
proper spray pattern in this section.
Locking in the Nozzle Position
Once the machine is properly calibrated, the angle of the nozzle
bodies can be locked with the user installed Nozzle Stop Kit

If the output from a nozzle is significantly outside the limits,
refer to SECTION 4, Troubleshooting.
(shipped in the Parts Bag in the Hopper). If the nozzle body is
moved, you will instantly be able to return it to the proper position
contacting the bolt.
Insert bolt (A) through the slots in the nozzle mounting plates.
Tighten lock washer and nut so the bolt touches the front side of
the nozzle cap. Add Protective cap. Repeat the process for each
nozzle body.
