8.6 STORAGE IN A WAREHOUSE AND TRANSPORTATION
The sprayer must be kept in a closed place away from excessive humidity
and protected from frost. Especially if electrical pressure regulators, electrical
motors, a spraying computer or similar components are fitted.
Before storing the machine, after you have washed it, apply a light coat of oil.
If the temperature might drop to below zero, drain any residual liquid or add
roughly 0.5 L of normal antifreeze for auto vehicles.
To transport the machine follow the instructions in point 4.1 of the present
handbook.
8.7 PUTTING BACK INTO SERVICE AFTER WINTER LAYUP
Before using the machine again after a long period of inactivity you should
perform some general checks, following the instructions in point 4.4 and drain
any antifreeze.
Never start the shaft of the pump if you think there may by ice inside. To
check this, make sure you can turn the shaft by hand without connecting
it to the tractor.
After you have connected the machine to the tractor (see point 4.5) following
the instructions in the present user’s handbook and in the enclosures of the
pump, pressure regulator and accessories.
8.8 DEMOLITION AND DISPOSAL
When the sprayer will be put out of service you should wash it with great care
to remove any residues of chemical product, follow the instructions in point
4.13 of the present handbook.
Most of the materials used in the construction of the sprayer can be recycled;
all the metals (steel, aluminium, brass) can be consigned to a normal scrap
yard.
All of the remaining parts, whether made of plastic (nylon, nylon + fibreglass,
moplen, etc... ) see pressure regulator and parts of the pump, fibreglass or
polyethylene (tank), nitrile rubber mix and fabric or plasticized PVC (various
pipes and hoses) can be consigned to a controlled 1st class dump.

The disposal of the waste that derives from the demolition of the machine
should be done in full respect of the environment, without polluting the ground
or water courses.
