Safety Instructions

Before attempting to operate or install the sprayer carefully read and take note of the

following safety warnings.

Failure to comply with these warnings may result in serious injury or death.

GENERAL

The Silvan Rakpak is a compact portable sprayer. Whether you are a commercial grower, or hobby

farmer, you will find many uses for this unit. The tank, pump and spray lance fittings are corrosion

resistant and suitable for applying weedicides, herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, miticides, organic

and green formulations.

It has been solely designed for mounting on four-wheel Quad Bikes. The Rakpak is designed for spot

spraying but may be used in conjunction with a boom for boom spraying.

SPECIFICATIONS

PUMP AND CONTROLS:

Pakpump 2000 series, 12-volt DC electric pump. Open flow Capacity 5.3 L/minute or Maximum

pressure 60psi.

On-Off power switch and an “on demand” pressure sensing switch.

Supplied with 3 metre power loom with alligator clamps for connection to 12-volt battery and a fuse

holder on the positive lead fitted with automotive type 10-amp fuse.

The “On-Demand” pressure sensing switch will automatically start the pump when the spray gun

trigger is pulled, and the pressure falls below 40psi. The automatic pressure switch will stop the

pump when the spray gun trigger is released, and the pressure increases to 60psi.

If the pump is subjected to rapid pulsation/cycling during normal operation it may reduce the life

of the pressure switch. Applications which exhibit rapid pulsation/cycling may have restrictions in

the nozzle caused by dirt or may require a larger nozzle to minimize pulsation.

TANK:

Translucent tank moulded from U.V. stabilized and impact resistant polyethylene.

135mm filler neck with screw on anti-spill breather lid.

Calibrated fill mark moulded into tank as well as recesses for locating tie down straps for transport.

FILTRATION:

Wire mesh foot filter on suction line, removable for cleaning.

DELIVERY HOSE:

6 metre length, 8 mm I.D.

SPRAY GUN:

Spray gun with adjustable spray nozzle.

Specifications

FITTING TO A VEHICLE

The sprayer should be securely attached to the Quad bike. The transverse recesses moulded into

the top of the tank can be used to positively locate the tie down straps, which should be firmly

secured to approved attachment points on the ATV or other vehicle.

The sprayer should be mounted centrally and as

near to the centre of gravity of the Quad bike as

possible. It should not protrude to cause an

obstruction. Refer to the manufacturer’s

instructions for appropriate load limits and

fitting positions.

Never fill the spray tank to a capacity beyond

the specified overall weight limit set by your

vehicle manufacturer.

Note: 1 litre of water = 1 kg.

Warning! Do not exceed the the vehicle

manufacturer’s specified safe load and carrying

capacity.

CONNECTING TO 12 VOLT DC SUPPLY

The sprayer requires a 12-volt DC power

source to operate the pump, such as the

vehicle battery. The wiring loom is fitted with

alligator clamps to facilitate connection to a

normal vehicle battery. The red clamp should

be connected to the positive terminal and the

black clamp to the negative terminal.

If you need to extend the wiring loom use wire

of the same gauge or thicker.

SAFETY FUSE

The positive (brown) lead incorporates a 10-

amp automotive type fuse in a rubberised holder. This protects the pump and vehicle electrical

system from damage should a short circuit occur. If a fuse should blow determine the cause of the

short circuit before replacing the fuse.

ON/OFF SWITCH

The on/off switch on the top of the tank operates the pump. It should be switched off when the

pump is not in use or when the tank is empty to prevent unnecessary drain of power and overheating

and damage to the pump.

CONNECT LANCE AND TRIGGER

For sprayer, there is a gasket which should fit between lance and trigger. The small side is

positioned face to trigger.

SETUP AND TESTING

It is always recommended that you first test all spray equipment thoroughly with clean water. Silvan

Rakpack’s are supplied with an adjustable nozzle containing a large orifice, which when twisting the

tip can allow for a greater flow of liquid. It is recommended that adjustable nozzle is used first and

can be changed later if you require.

1. Be sure to wear safety equipment as recommended by the chemical manufacturer before

adding chemical to the sprayer

2. Check the suction line foot filter is clean and undamaged (see Maintenance section).

3. Fill the tank with clean water.

4. With the 12-volt supply connected and the 6-meter spray hose and spray lance connected fit

the adjustable nozzle or any large orifice nozzle you may wish to use.

5. Check all pipes, hoses, hose clamps and connections for leaks or damage.

6. Switch the pump ON.

7. Depress the spray lance trigger. The pump is self-priming and will start spraying within 30

seconds.

8. Check the hose connections for leaks, if any are found stop the pump and rectify the problem

before continuing.

9. By twisting the tip of the nozzle to the coarsest droplet size, the restriction to flow is minimized

and pump pulsation will not occur.

10. Slowly twist the tip of the nozzle from a course droplet size to a fine droplet to your preference.

If the pump begins to pulsate/cycle you may require a different nozzle that is rated to allow for

higher flow rates at your selected droplet size at approximately.

11. Once the nozzle is set the sprayer is ready to be utilized for spot spraying of chemical.

12. Chemical solution may now be added to the tank. Follow the mixing instructions and safety

precautions provided by the chemical manufacturer. Before adding concentrated chemicals,

partially fill the tank with water then add the chemical and complete filling with water. Wear

all the safety equipment recommended by the chemical manufacturer before adding chemical

to the sprayer and whilst conducting spraying operations

PUMP HOSE ANCHOR

We have supplied a Plastic Hose Tie to protect the pump housing or hose fitting from possible

damage caused when the hose is pulled tight or over stretched.

The hose can be tied against the switch bracket as shown in the diagram below without restricting

the flow.

Operation

After spraying is completed, drain unused chemicals from the tank. Rinse the tank with clean water

then operate the sprayer with clean water in the tank to clean out the pump, hose, and spray lance.

Do not leave chemicals in the tank as they may settle and form solids that may block the filter.

If heavy frosts are experienced, run the sprayer until the pump and spray lines are dry. This will

prevent water freezing in the pump or spray lines and damaging the sprayer.

After spraying rinse out the spray lines and tank with clean water

The foot filter should be checked and cleaned if necessary, each time the tank is filled. Appropriate

protective equipment including gloves should be used whenever maintenance is carried out.

CLEANING THE FILTER

To check the filter, remove the filler cap and hook the suction hose out with a bent piece of wire.

To avoid chemical contamination do not put bare hands in the tank to remove the filter. Appropriate

protective equipment including gloves should be used whenever maintenance is carried out. Clean

the filter with a bristle brush, do not use a wire brush or sharp object as this may damage the mesh.

The filter can be pulled from the suction hose if necessary, for cleaning. When reinstalling the filter

in the tank press the suction hose into the recess to keep the filter on the bottom of the tank so

that it will fully empty.

Operation (cont.)

Dispose of unused chemical and water used for rinsing in a manner that will

not endanger people, animals, or the environment in accordance with local

regulations and the handling and disposal information available from the

Chemical manufacturer.
