Applic8r Sprayer Range Tutorial with Gavin #6 | Electric control / Manual valve system / Hose reel
Gavin walks you around the Hustler Applic8r mounted sprayer range

Yep.
So here we have a standard three section electric control, and you’ll notice that this one has no, high pressure filter and no flow meter.
Essentially, it’s the same componentry. And of course, we only got the three section option here, which is the standard for electric control.
Carburetor returns gauge, carburetor return by pass, same check valve and on this one here you can see the arrow pointing down on the check valve, that’s an absolute must, And there’s your pressure supply, and you can actually see there’s a narrow in the molding of the body of the, master valve here.
Just for anyone wondering.
And manual pressure regulator, electric pressure regulator, section valves.
Here we have a simple manual valve system, manual control.
This one here actually is spec’d, with an extra tap for the hose reel.
Without the hose reel, it would be just a three section.
And here so the flow comes from your pump up to the valve manifold, and it goes past this pressure regulator.
And any regulated, any bypass flow should I say, is, dropped back to our agitator, mix max and, back to tank via the bypass sorry, bypass or agitator.
So the flow any flow that’s not bypassed continues on to the, the valve sections and they literally are just a, on or off valve.
And we have the same pressure gauge at the end here.
Nice simple unit and, no master valve. Just use your PTO on off to stop and start the spring unless you can reach the handles.
This sprayer has been optioned with the hose reel, and as I was saying, it was it’s powered by the fourth valve here, three for the boom sections, and the last one here for the hose reel. So when you’re hose reeling, it takes very little flow. You’re only using a single nozzle. So, with the tap on, spin your PTO at around three hundred and fifty to four hundred four hundred maximum.
That’s most you’d ever need. And then just regulate your pressure on your gauge to suit the power you want at the gun.
Out the back here, we have this arm system here where you can pop a pin out, like so.
A little bit stiff stiff because it’s new.
Like so. And you can swing the hose reel out ninety degrees, for reeling down a hill or whatever. It just makes it easier, especially, for when you’re re rewinding the hose. You can have it quote, more in the direction of where you’ve been working. So that’s a nice addition there.
Pop that back.
And there’s your latch for, for releasing the reel, winding it out, and of course it has a, slip pin in here to lock it, open so you can reel it off down the hill.
Batch it again, Let’s note.
And the gun itself, this one’s tied unfortunately, but, it has this air trumpet here, which does have an effect on the, the, fan. If you especially if you’re using it, or mainly, if you’re using it as a, a, a cone shape spray output rather than a jet.
This lever here is where you adjust it from jet to full cone, and it makes a huge difference. It’s amazing.
In a straight line, at maximum pressure, you can get around nine metres from where you’re with the gun held at about a meter. So it’s a good test.
Meter up, nine meter range.
When spraying, we suggest you start at ten bar, and if you’re needing more range or more pressure, you can go up to fifteen bar, and in in extreme cases, take it up to maximum pressure if necessary. But, ten bar actually does generate a good spray, a good range.
