The Ultimate Spray Rig! Get rid of driveway weeds fast!

What happens here

Locate the 12-volt pump and electrical connections on the spray rig. Connect the pump's wires to the positive and negative terminals of the ATV's battery. The presenter demonstrates securing the wiring with zip ties for a neat and robust setup. Identify the on/off switch for the pump, noting that it will automatically shut off once the preset pressure is achieved.

Goal: Power the spray rig's pump from the ATV's battery.

around 36 inches so 100 gallon tank right here this is your pump you got a regulator on there you have a filter and each one of these sprayers has an individual filter in it so if it gets clogged up you can unclog it this cap right here is tethered which is very nice you just unscrew it and you can mix in whatever chemicals that you need to mix be it fertilizer be it weed killer whatever it is if you just want to keep the dust down on your gravel driveway this thing is a beast and we could probably use it to water the cows so the way this works is there is a 12 volt plug right here and this is hooked to the battery so this battery is for the wild hair loader system right here but it's absolutely in the perfect position to go ahead and hook up for our spray rig so you hook up to the positive and negative terminals i've gone a little bit above and beyond and zip tied everything into place so it'll be super easy right there's the on off switch right there once it builds up pressure it shuts off so once it hits the pressure that you've set it to on the regulator it'll cut off now you
