GENERAL

The Silvan 70 litre Rakpak Plus 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, organic and green formulations.

It has been solely designed for mounting on four-wheel ATV. The Rakpak is designed for spot spraying but may

be used in conjunction with a boom for boom spraying.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT SPOT SPRAYERS

To ensure long life of this spot sprayer please read the following.

This product features a positive displacement diaphragm pump with a pressure sensing switch. The pressure

switch interrupts power to the pump when the system pressure builds towards maximum and power is

resumed to the motor when the pressure falls. The pressure switch does not in any way substitute for a

pressure regulator.

When the spray lance trigger is depressed fluid is released and the pressure will drop allowing the pressure

switch to resume power to the pumps motor.

If the pump is subjected to rapid pulsation/cycling during normal operation, or for infrequent periods it may

reduce the life of the pump. Applications which exhibit rapid pulsation/cycling should have restrictions in the

nozzle minimized by fitting a larger (less restrictive nozzle) Pulsation can cause premature failure of the

pressure switch or pump; these failures are not as a result of the workmanship of the component.

Spotpak’s fitted with the Smoothflo model pump are designed not to pulsate and should stop pumping when

the valve or spray gun trigger is released. If the pump fails to stop pumping the pressure switch may require

re-adjustment to lower the max shut off pressure by a 1/16” Allen head screw on the head of the pump.

Specifications

FITTING TO A VEHICLE

Position the sprayer on the vehicle to minimise chemical contamination to the operator. Face the

pump away from the operator to minimize the risk of contamination due to hose failure.

The sprayer should be securely attached to any ATV or other type of vehicle that it is installed on.

The hold-down strap recesses moulded into the top of the tank can be used to positively locate 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 an ATV as

possible. It should not protrude so as 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 (red) 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 mounted on the metal cover 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.

SETUP AND TESTING

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

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

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

first with the spray gun and can be changed later if you require.

Release the elastic straps that secure the spray hose to the tank and remove the lance and hose

from the transport recesses on the tank.

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

5. Check all 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 and the pump operates free of pulsation/cycling, the spot sprayer is ready

to be utilized for spot spraying of chemical.

•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.

For safety, the spray gun has a catch that can be used to lock the lever closed to prevent accidental

spraying. The catch can also be used to lock the lever open for continuous spraying. This should only

be done when safe to operate in this manner and where there is no likelihood of inadvertently

spraying any person or property that may suffer damage.

Operation

Turn nozzle to adjust

spray pattern

Depress lever to spray

Move red catch back to lock

lever in ‘on’ or ‘off”

position. Only if safe to do

so.

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.

Warning! 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.

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.
