Introduction

The Frazier demountable sprayer has been designed specifically for the Frazier range of self-propelled low ground pressure vehicles. The sprayer is built to varying specifications depending on the customer requirements, although the operation is basically the same for all models.

This instruction manual concentrates on the standard sprayer designed for the Frazier chassis unit (1998 specification). Information on non-standard booms, sprayer controls etc. are available on request.

The machine identification/serial no. should have been filled in at the front of this manual before you received your new sprayer, if not please fill it in now. It can be found on the spray pump mounting plate. You will find it useful for future reference particularly when ordering spare parts.
