BatchBandit Upstream Pumps

Batch Bandit & Pressure Ranger Upstream Systems

A Batch Bandit mixes your chemical as you spray, so you never have to batch mix a tank again. A proportioner with three dials (Water, Soap and SH) feeds the pump, and a waterproof remote lets you start and stop the engine and switch between chemical and fresh-water flush without walking back to the rig.

There are two kinds of systems in this collection:

• Comet P40 Batch Bandit: softwash only. 11 GPM Comet P40 on a Honda engine (typically a GX200), full flow (the proportioner does not reduce flow), rated 300 PSI and runs best at 200 PSI.
• Pressure Ranger: pressure wash AND softwash. AR pump. One pump, one hose and one gun for softwash, high-flow rinse and pressure washing. Operating range is 400 PSI up to the model's max PSI. The Batch Bandit Pressure Ranger versions come with the Batch Bandit remote, poly mixing block and electric flush. The plain Pressure Ranger listings are the pressure washer without the Batch Bandit system.

How It Works

1. Set your mix on the proportioner dials. Starting points from the manual:
   • Roof (about 3%): Water 10, Soap 3, SH 5
   • House (about 1.5%): Water 10, Soap 3, SH 3
   • Concrete (about 1%): Water 10, Soap 2, SH 2
   • Flush/rinse only (0%): Water 10, Soap 0, SH 10
2. Button 1 stops the engine. Button 2 starts it (hold until it starts).
3. Button 3: green light = CHEMICAL. The TeeJet valve switches from water to SH and the soap solenoid opens.
4. Button 3 again: blue light = FLUSH. Back to fresh water, soap off, so clean water rinses the pump and lines.
5. It always powers on in Flush. If the remote is lost or dead, turn the control-box power switch off and back on to return to Flush.

What's Included (Batch Bandit systems)

• Fully assembled unit (pump, engine, proportioner, control box)
• Remote control fob
• User manual
• Not included: mounting bolts for your rig deck

Install Basics

• Hard-bolt it to the rig. It sits on rubber pucks under the base plate to cut vibration. Swap the 4 puck bolts for longer ones and bolt through your deck. The warranty is void if it isn't bolted down.
• Never tee the water line. TeeJet to water tank, TeeJet to SH tank and the H2O valve to water tank each get their own line.
• Proportioner ports: the 1" port is the inlet to the pump, and the 3/4" port is the bypass.
• Soap: 1/2" metering valve with 1/4" hose, run through the soap solenoid under the right side of the box.
• Power: 12V battery. A Group 24 deep-cycle is recommended. The unit is pre-fused.

FAQ

Which one do I need?
Softwash only (roofs and houses): get the Comet P40 Batch Bandit. Softwash plus pressure washing from one unit: get a Batch Bandit Pressure Ranger.

Does the proportioner reduce flow?
No, you don't lose any flow. You get the pump's full flow.

What GPM is the P40?
11 GPM Comet P40, rated at 300 PSI and runs best at 200 PSI. 6 and 10 GPM are Pressure Ranger models.

Can I tee the water line?
No. Never tee the water line.

Does it have to be mounted permanently?
Yes. It must be hard-bolted to the rig, and the warranty is void if it isn't. Mounting bolts are not included.

Does it come with a manual?
Yes, and you can download it above.

What if my remote dies?
Turn the control-box power off and back on. It always powers on in Flush mode.
