CLEANING
THE STRAINERS
•
Before each use make a thorough visual check of
the sprayer for any bolts and nuts which may have
loosened. Retighten any loose bolts and nuts.
FLUSH THE TANK
Remove any solution left in tank. Fill 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.
Refill 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.
At least once a season, 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 flush it with clear water.
At least once a season, clean the strainers in the
boom nozzles. Remove the nozzle, pull out the
screen and flush it with clear water.
LUBRICATION
Apply a few drops of oil to the wheel hubs at least
once a year.
STORAGE
RECOMMENDATIONS
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.
iMPORTANT:
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 flush the pump with water after each use.
Follow the procedures in the Maintenance section for
flushing and disposal.
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.
