NOTE: Unless otherwise specified, high-strength Grade 5 hex bolts are used throughout as- sembly of equipment.
SUGGESTED GROUND DRIvE MOUNTING MOUNTING THE PISTON PUMP The Lil’ Thumper pump should be mounted firmly to the implement so the pump is in a horizontal position when operating (as shown above). The drive sprocket (#1) on the pump and the ground wheel drive sprocket (#2) must be in line to prevent chain jumping and undue wear.
RATE ADjUSTMENT Application rate for the Lil’ Thumper is determined by using the slide chart included with the pump. Complete instructions are on the back of the slide chart. Pump output is determined by the drive wheel loaded radius, sprocket ratios, and pump adjustment disc setting.

DETERMINING SPROCKET RATIOS FOR PISTON PUMPS It may be difficult in some cases to determine the ratio of the drive for the pump system. The main determining factor is always the size of the driven sprocket in relation to the drive sprocket. Always divide the drive (powered) sprocket size by the driven sprocket (see examples below).
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE 4. Change the oil in the drive case of your pump annually. Your Lil’ Thumper is designed to require only occasional This is done by removing the 1/2” fill plugs and the 1/4” light maintenance. Attention to the following procedures will significantly prolong the useful life of your pump.
