Using this NorthStar sprayer is easy. First, attach it to your ATV or garden tractor. Fill the 26-gallon tank with the pesticide of your choice. The on - demand pump will start working when needed, generating 60 PSI to give you a 40 - ft. spray swath. The pressure gauge helps you monitor the pressure, and you can use the remote switch with battery clamps for convenient operation. When it comes to emptying the tank, use the bottom drain. For storage, fold away the spring - loaded breakaway boom arms for a more compact setup. As for maintenance, make sure to keep the tank clean after each use, especially if you've used pesticides. The extra - thick walled tank is UV - resistant and compatible with most pesticides, but it's still a good idea to rinse it thoroughly. Also, check the pump regularly for any signs of wear and tear. This will help keep your sprayer in good working condition for a long time.
