check for loose fasteners
• 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..
cleaning the Strainers
• 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

Storage
• 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.
• 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
• 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.
