I added 100' of hose to the sprayer to get to areas behind buildings and it still pumps fine although the hose can be a bit cumbersome to handle.

Yes, a longer hose may be used with this sprayer. However keep in mind that if the sprayer wand is held higher than the level of liquid in the tank the flow and pressure of the pump may be reduced.

answer 6
Sure. The wand and pump are attached to the hose via small host clamps, so you could use any length of hose. The only thing I could see as an issue would be the limited clearance between the broadcast arm and the tank. The more hose you wrap around the tank it may raise the position of the broadcast arm a little bit.

Yes, there is a drain plug on the side of the unit at the bottom. After I spray and rinse, I fill the tank and then drain through the plug. It does a pretty good job of draining the liquid out, but I put my ATV on a side hill to help get it all out.

You can adjust the width by simply adjusting or changing the height of the nozzle. If you lower the distance between the nozzle and the ground the width is narrower, and if you raise the distance it is greater.

answer 2
I'm not sure about the exact length of the cables, but I have a pretty good bundle wrapped up since I just hook into my ATV battery about 2.5' from the pump. Chances are your battery is in the back of your mower, so I would think that as long as the pump is within 6' of the battery you should be fine.

You probably have 36 volts because you have 3 12 volt batteries hook in series, you need to isolate one of the batteries so you can use just the 12 volt output from 1 battery.

What PSI does this unit operate at while in disperse mode?

I understand it has a 70PSI max and 2.2GPM flow but need to know it's operating PSI in order to determine the amount of liquid being dispersed at a given speed. Needed to determine correct per acre application rate of pesticide. Thank you.

On this spot sprayer, coverage is determined by the height and the speed of application. There are broadcast spray calibration tables in the owner's manual, on page 38. This manual may be viewed in the PDF file link that's listed near the bottom of the description tab of this product.

it would be safe to go with 2.2GPM. i did a test with it and it is fairly accurate +- 2.2 GPM. The PSI won't change unless your battery is weakening.
