Setup Instructions:
Ratcheting Top Value: This Valve controls the flow of water to the back sprayers. When the tab on top of the valve is not in line with the value the sprayers are off (top picture). When the tab is in line with the valve the sprayers are on. To open or close this valve pull the rope attached to the handle till the tab completely turns. Release, and pull again to shut off the valves. For use with optional Fire hose close this valve. **Note to Operator: Jerking the rope forward to engage or disengage the ratcheting valve may cause damage to the valve or handle. Always pull the rope until the valve is fully open or closed. Never allow the pull rope to dangle while in operation as it may become snared and cause damage to the ratcheting valve. See notes on page 11
Tank Valve: (left hand side from tractor seat bottom valve in photo)
Crack open this valve when sending water to the sprayers or the fire hose. One way to control the amount of water coming out of the sprayers is by adjusting how far open or closed this valve is. When the valve arm is in line with the valve the water flow is fully open (see photo). When it is not in line with the valve is closed. Crack this valve open when using the optional fire hose, close this valve fully when using the optional pond fill system.
Return Valve: (right hand side from tractor seat) This valve allows water to recirculate back into the tank. This valve should be opened just a little when using the sprayers or optional fire hose. Opening fully will reduce the flow of water to the sprayers or optional fire hose, closing will increase water to the sprayers or optional fire hose. For use with the optional pond fill hose this valve must be fully opened to fill the tank.
ABI(Absolute Innovations, Inc.) -‐ 855-‐211-‐0598 -‐ www.abiattachments.com Page 8 of 13
Please read and understand manual prior to operating the Kiser Water Wagon Sprayer Boom: The sprayers are able to spray between 8’ -‐ 21’ by setup. You can adjust these by turning the brass heads to cover more area. The 2 outside sprayers can both be shut off to control how much of an area is covered. This also gives you even more control over how much water is applied.
Optional Features:
Fire Hose Connector: This is where the optional fire hose will connect. In order for the fire hose to work properly you need to shut off the ratcheting top valve (covered above). Shut off the ratcheting valve, open the tank valve and crack the return valve when using the optional fire hose.
Pond Fill system: This optional feature allows you to fill the tank using a pond, river, creek, etc. to operate this attachment you will need to shut off the sprayers, using the ratcheting valve, and open the pond fill valve shown in the picture. Close the tank valve, and you will open the return valve fully. Make sure the pump has been primed and either remove the top fill lid or open it slightly to allow water to fill the tank. You will also need to secure the fill head into a small bucket to help prevent sucking up debris into the hose and tank.

Basic Maintenance: FREEZE PROTECTION:
**Failure to properly Winterize/Freeze Protect your Water Trailer may result in damage to the Water Trailer components that may not be covered by Manufacturer Warranty. Please contact ABI Customer Service Department for information on Winterizing your Water Trailer:
**Your Unit may be winterized. Please flush unit before use.
The water tank and water trailer components are susceptible to rupture in freezing conditions if water or some other fluids are left in tank or plumbing. To prevent freeze damage, the tank and plumbing should be drained of all excess water. Remove all the drain plugs from the system allowing the water to drain out including the pump drain plug, and then open valves to allow any of the excess water to drain from the system. The system should be further protected by adding a few gallons of nontoxic RV antifreeze solution (available at most hardware stores or Tractor supply stores) to the tank and pumping it through the plumbing system allowing it to run through all valves and spray points. Failure to properly winterize the water wagon may result in damage to the valves, motor, poly pump, or hoses that may not be covered my Manufacturer warranty.
PUMP/MOTOR:
Refer to the manuals provided by the pump and motor manufacturer for maintenance instructions for the respective components. This can be located in the document holder connected to the frame on the front of the Water Wagon. • Never run the Motor and Pump for long periods of time without water in the system. Operating the Pump and Motor while the system is empty may result in damage to the Pump seals or impeller. When the Water Trailer is empty shut off the Motor to prevent any damage to the Pump and Motor. • Always use a gas stabilizer in the gas used in the motor for the Water Trailer. Failure to use gas stabilizer in the fuel may result in issues with the Motor functionality. • When the motor is not in use, during transport or after operation; make sure to shut off the gas flow to the engine. Information on shutting off the gas flow to the engine can be found in the Motor Manual for the Water Wagon. Failure to shut off gas flow when motor is not in use may result in gas mixing with the oil, or may cause damage to the motor carburetor causing the motor not to function. • Always follow Manufacturer suggested maintenance requirements and manufacturer recommendations for any replacement parts. • Check oil levels before any use to ensure the oil level is at proper operational levels. See Manufacturers guide for information on oil types and levels.
RATCHETING VALVE INFORMATION:
The Ratcheting Valve works on a spring and pin system. The spring located on the outside of the handle returns the handle back to neutral after every pull. Pulling the handle past the designed distance to turn the ball valve may damage the spring. Additionally, the pin on the inside of the handle may become damaged, or the housing around the pin or retainer points may become damage. ABI advises taking time to familiarize the operator with how to operate the Ratcheting Valve prior to operation. The silver tab on the top of the valve will turn at 90 degree turns indicating that the ball inside the valve has been properly turned. The Ratcheting Valve handle is bolted to the valve body via a bolt. This bolt should be snug but never tight. If the bolt is tightened down fully it will prevent the spring from pulling the handle back to neutral. If the bolt is too loose then the handle will not turn properly and may cause the pin inside the handle to fall out. The bolt is factory set and should not be adjusted, unless the handle becomes difficult to turn, or is able to be moved up and down when
ABI(Absolute Innovations, Inc.) -‐ 855-‐211-‐0598 -‐ www.abisupport.com Page 10 of 13
Please read and understand setup guide prior to operation! in the neutral position. Any adjustment should be made to allow the handle to move freely front to back without having to be forced.
LUBRICATION:
The wheel bearings should packed every 6 months or every 6,000 miles (whichever comes first). Lubrication may be needed more often if the trailer is used in severe conditions. The wheel hubs should be checked regularly for excess heat. Heat buildup is an indication that the bearings need greased and may soon fail. It is imperative that the 5th wheel and pivot pins be lubricated daily in the Hi-‐Rise trailer front end to prevent premature wear and failure of the pivoting joints.
CLEANING YOUR TANK FOR POTABLE WATER USAGE: When cleaning out the tank you will want to drain out the full system. There is a drain point on the bottom of the tank and most of the piping. There is also a drain point located on the bottom of the Bell pump used to drain the pump of all water. Also make sure to drain out the sprayer lines in the back using the plug inserted at the bottom of the piping. Once the water has been drained out refill with non-‐contaminated water, such as from a fill station; up to the previous water level or to the top if needed. Add chlorine to the tank based on your local water supply specifications, and allow the water to sit a few hours. Drain out the tank; then dispose of the water according to your local area requirements. Drain the full system again, fill to rinse out the tank, drain, and you are ready to fill with Potable water.
Do not use the tank to store or Transport chemicals. The Kiser Water Trailer was not designed to store or transport chemicals. Using the tank in this manner may damage the Water Trailer, and makes it unsafe for potable water.
