Understanding The Feeding System
Unlike our other models, the sprayer kits use your sprayer pump and feeding system to fill the sponges. The unit will come with adapters for TeeJet and Hypro nozzle bodies with tubing to connect each 30" sponge section to one of your sprayer nozzles. Keep in mind, that each sponge is fed individually, there is no flow across the boom.
See video above for installation instruction. For operation, start by mixing your preferred chemical solution to attack your resistant weeds. Since you are applying chemical directly onto the taller growing weeds, you can use a variety of chemicals at specific mix rates. For Round up, please follow the labels recommended 33% mix for weed wiper application. For Gramoxone, please use a 50% concentrate. For all other products, please follow the label or consult your field rep.Then, you will fill your tank with your mix over a safe area (Example: cement). Keep in mind that you will use significantly less chemical with a weed wiper. Once your tank is full, run a hose of fresh water over your sponges to get them saturated. After saturating the sponges, we recommend wringing out the sponges to get the excess water out of the system. This process helps ensure that the chemical will evenly distribute across each sponge when you begin to run your pump. Next, while over a safe area, turn on your pump for a few seconds to fill your sponges. The time needed to fill your sponges completely will vary because of size and pump models. However, your initial fill over safe ground will give you a better idea how long you will need to run your pump to fill your sponges. Run the system right up till the point where the sponges begin to drip. Once you have reached that point, simply turn off the solution and head into your field. During application, you can simply turn on your pump for a few seconds to re-fill your sponges on the go.

Going After Resistant Weeds?

It's always best to follow the label for drift free weed wiping applications or consult your field rep. However, most chemicals can be used in our weed wipers. The most common product to use in a wiper is Glyphosate (Round-Up). The manufacturing label recommends a 33% mix rate, however, please follow your label for mix rates . Please note that a good surfactant like Sur-Tec (free sample provided with every weed wiper purchase) can enhance the performance of the chemical of choice.
*It’s important to remember that the ratio of herbicide to water can vary depending on the weeds to be controlled, the time of year, and the temperature. Contact your chemical field rep or extension service for best herbicide mix and or surfactant for specific weed and crop conditions.
