Storage

1. Position the sprayer on a level surface, set the parking
brake, stop the pump, stop the engine, and remove
the ignition key.
2. Clean dirt and grime from the entire machine,
including the outside of the engine's cylinder head
fins and blower housing.
Important: You can wash the machine with
mild detergent and water. Do not use high
pressure water to wash the machine. Pressure
washing may damage the electrical system or
wash away necessary grease at friction points.
Avoid excessive use of water, especially near the
control panel, lights, engine, and the battery.
3. Clean the spray system; refer to the Cleaning section.
4. Add a rust inhibiting, non-alcohol based, RV
antifreeze solution to the system and run the pump
for a few minutes to circulate it through the system,
then drain the spray system as completely as possible.
5. Use the boom lift switches to raise the booms. Raise
the booms until have moved completely into boom
transport cradle forming the "X" transport position
and the boom cylinders are fully retracted. Make
sure the boom cylinders are fully retracted to prevent
actuator rod damage.
6. Inspect the brakes; refer to Inspecting the Brakes in
the Brake Maintenance section.
7. Service the air cleaner; refer to Servicing the Air
Cleaner in the Engine Maintenance section.
8. Grease the sprayer; refer to the Lubrication section.
9. Change the crankcase oil; refer to Servicing Engine
Oil in the Engine Maintenance section.
10. Check the tire pressure; refer to Checking the Tire
Pressure in the Drive System Maintenance section.
11. For storage over 30 days, prepare the fuel system
as follows:
A. Start the engine and run it at idle speed for
approximately 2 minutes.
B. Stop the engine.
C. Flush the fuel tank with fresh, clean fuel.
D. Secure all the fuel system fittings.
12. Use the electric starter to crank the engine and
distribute the oil inside the cylinder.
13. Remove the battery from the chassis, check the
electrolyte level, and charge it fully; refer to Servicing
the Battery in the Electrical System Maintenance
section.
Note: Do not connect the battery cables to the
battery posts during storage.
Important: The battery must be fully charged
to prevent it from freezing and being damaged
at temperatures below 32 degrees F (0 degrees
C). A fully charged battery maintains its charge
for about 50 days at temperatures lower than 40
degrees F (4 degrees C). If the temperatures will
be above 40 degrees F (4 degrees C), check the
water level in the battery and charge it every 30
days.
14. Check and tighten all bolts, nuts, and screws. Repair
or replace any part that is damaged.
15. Check the condition of all spray hoses, replacing any
that are damaged or worn.
16. Tighten all hose fittings.
17. Paint all scratched or bare metal surfaces.
Paint is available from your Authorized Service
Dealer.
