Q. |
Where
do I get repair parts for my Fimco sprayer? |
| |
A. |
You
can purchase repair and replacement parts either from your
local dealer or by calling FIMCO customer service at 1-800-831-0027. |
| 2. |
Q. |
Can
I buy complete sprayers direct from FIMCO? |
| |
A. |
No. We
sell whole goods (complete sprayers, trailer carts and
manure spreaders) through our dealer network. If
you need assistance locating your local dealer, call
FIMCO customer service at 1-800-831-0027 or you can check
out one of our on-line dealers. |

Q. |
How
do I regulate the pressure on my 12 volt sprayer? |
| |
A. |
If
your sprayer is set up to adjust the pressure, there is
a Y shaped valve that splits the solution flow between
the boom and the tank. Opening and closing the valve
on the return line will increase or decrease the pressure. |
| 4. |
Q. |
I
hooked my sprayer up to the battery on my lawn tractor,
but it doesn’t run. How come? |
| |
A. |
Most
FIMCO 12 volt sprayers have ON-OFF switches on both the
lead wire assembly and the pump. Make sure that both
switches are in the ON position. |
| 5. |
Q. |
Both
switches are on but it still doesn’t run, now what? |
| |
A. |
Check
to see if all connections are tight and power is getting
to the pump. If connections are good, then call FIMCO
Customer Service at 1-800-831-0027. |
| 6. |
Q. |
Can
I put a longer hose on my sprayer? |
| |
A. |
In
most cases, yes. With smaller 12 volt pumps you can
go up to 30 feet. With larger 12 volt pumps you can
go up to 50 feet. With gasoline powered pumps you
can go up to 300 feet of 1⁄2 inch hose. |
| 7. |
Q. |
Can
I run diesel fuel through my 12 volt pump? |
| |
A. |
No. The
internal parts of the pump are damaged by the diesel fuel
and your warranty will be voided. |
| 8. |
Q. |
Can
I spray bleach through my sprayer to clean my siding? |
| |
A. |
No. Bleach
is extremely hard on the internal parts of the pump and
the nylon fittings. |
| 9. |
Q. |
How
come the motor on my 12V pump runs but it doesn’t
pump anything. |
| |
A. |
The
check valve has deteriorated and needs to be replaced. |
