9.13 Preparing for Storage

For storage of the equipment over longer periods or during cold weather follow the
procedure below. Throughout this procedure take any and all appropriate measures
to ensure minimal impact to the environment. Collect and dispose of any output or
spillage from the equipment responsibly, refer to section 8 for information on cleaning
and the disposal of rinsate.
 Ensure the system is drained of all fluids including those in any rinse tank or
hand-wash tank.
 In climates where winter temperatures approach freezing it is necessary to add
antifreeze to the pump and spray lines. Antifreeze will prevent freezing of any
water retained in the plumbing system.
o Add a quantity of good quality antifreeze fluid, diluted if required to the
manufacturer's instructions, to the main tank and rinse tank. Refer to the tank
manufacturer's instructions. DO NOT put antifreeze into a hand wash tank.
o Run the spraying pumps and circulate the antifreeze throughout your tank and
Spraydome/Undavina and/or Spraymiser systems.
o Ensure that all of the pipe lines and spray heads are clear of any fluids other than
the antifreeze fluid.
 Turn off any feed line stop valves and disconnect the feed lines.
 Disconnect all electrical connections.
 Ensure the equipment is stable.
 Always lower the breakaway arms into the operating position when removing the
Spraydome/Undavina from its mountings.
 Store the equipment in a covered, ventilated area. Store away from direct sunlight
as some plastic parts may be deteriorated by ultra violet light.
 Always stand the Spraydome/Undavina and/or Spraymiser so that it is
suspended off the ground to prevent damage to the skirt or shield.
 To prepare the equipment for use after storage: Follow the instruction in this
document to install the equipment onto your tractor/vehicle. Drain any antifreeze
fluid from the tank and Spraydome/Undavina and /or Spraymiser systems, taking
care to collect and dispose of all output fluids responsibly. Thoroughly rinse the
system in accordance with section 8 of this document before use.
