Preparing Vehicle
Machine Requirements (15, 25 and 45 Gallon Wheeled Sprayers)
NOTE: 45 gallon sprayer is not recommended for use with machines smaller than the GT Series.
Sprayer Weight:
• 15 Gallon Sprayer, Filled with liquid is 74 kg (164 lb)

IMPORTANT: Avoid damage! No rear suitcase weights or grass bagging attachments should be installed on machine while using sprayers. |
Make sure machine tire pressure is correct. (See your machine operator’s manual for the correct pressure.)
Machine weights improve stability. Add front weights for better front-end stability and steering. See your John Deere dealer for these weights. Instructions to install will come with the weights.
Your machine requires the following:
• 12-Volt Battery and Alternator
• Wiring Harness Extension: This part is required for all machines with the battery mounted near the front grille. Order this wiring harness from your John Deere dealer.
• Utility Vehicles require an additional 12 V adapter. Order this adapter from your John Deere dealer.
Vehicle Requirements (25 Gallon Portable Sprayer)
Please read the sections on operation and spraying safety in your operator’s manual. Pay particular attention to the section dealing with the 12-volt wire harness installation.
You should pay particular attention to what the sprayer will be transported with. Be sure that the unit is capable of carrying the 25 gallon portable sprayer fully loaded. When loaded it will weigh about 103 kg (227 lb), so it is important that the unit be secured properly and that the carrying vehicle can safely carry that load.
