MAINTENANCE
1. Do not store sprayer with any solution left in tank.
2. Periodically clean the strainer in the end of the intake
hose at the bottom of the tank. Remove the nylon swivel
nut from the hose, pull out the screen and ush it with
clear water.
3. Periodically clean the strainers in the boom nozzles.
Remove the nozzle, pull out the screen and ush it with
clear water.
AFTER EACH USE
4. After use, ll the sprayer part way with water, start the
sprayer and allow clear water to be pumped through the
plumbing system and out through the boom assembly
and the handgun. Use the handgun to thoroughly wash
all internal parts of the tank, the outside of the tank and
the boom.
5. Rell the tank about half full with plain water and a
chemical neutralizer and repeat the cleaning instructions
above. Flush the entire sprayer with the neutralizing
agent. Follow the chemical manufacturers instructions
for disposal of all wash or rinsing water.
ATTENTION!
Do not allow chemicals to sit in pump for extended times
of idleness. Some chemicals will damage the pump
valve if allowed to soak untreated for a length of time.
Always ush the pump with water after each use. Follow
the procedures in the AFTER EACH USE instructions
for ushing and disposal.
WINTER STORAGE
6. Drain all water out of the sprayer, paying special
attention to the pump and handgun. These items are
especially prone to damage from chemicals and freezing
weather.
7. The sprayer should be winterized before storage by
pumping a 50-50 solution of water and R. V. antifreeze
through the entire plumbing. Proper care and
maintenance will prolong the life of the sprayer.
