hose on a reel. This spray wand allows the operator to spot
spray liquid material in areas where the unit cannot easily
access.
1. Drive the unit near the area where liquid material is
intended to be sprayed. Engage the parking brake by
pressing down on the parking brake pedal and step off of
the operator platform.
2. Close all three boom control levers/spray toggle valves
(B, Figure 26)
3. Loosen reel clamp (A, Figure 27).

Storage

Temporary Storage (30 Days or Less)
Remember, the fuel tank will still contain some gasoline, so
never store the unit indoors or in any other area where fuel
vapor could travel to any ignition source. Fuel vapor is also
toxic if inhaled, so never store the unit in any structure used
for human or animal habitation.
WARNING
Never store the unit, with gasoline in the engine or
fuel tank, in a heated shelter or in poorly ventilated
enclosures. Gasoline fumes may reach an open flame,
spark or pilot light (such as a furnace, water heater, clothes
dryer, etc.) and cause an explosion. Handle gasoline
carefully. It is highly flammable and careless use could
result in serious fire damage to your person or property.
Drain fuel into an approved container outdoors away from
open flame or sparks.
Here is a checklist of things to do when storing your unit
temporarily or in between uses:
• If the unit cannot be stored on a reasonable level surface,
chock the wheels.
• Clean any material that may have accumulated from the
unit.
• Keep the unit in an area away from where children may
come into contact with it.
• Purge the spray system of any leftover liquid material.
Should temperatures drop below freezing during storage,
fill the liquid tanks with antifreeze and run the sprayer
until the nozzles spray anti-freeze. This will prevent
any remaining liquid material from freezing, which can
damage the sprayer system.
Long Term Storage (Longer Than 30 Days)
Before you store your unit for the off season, read
the Maintenance and Storage instructions in the Operator
Safety section, then perform the following steps:
1. Prepare engine for storage. See engine owner's manual.
2. Purge the spray system of any liquid material. Fill the
liquid tanks with anti-freeze and run the sprayer until the
nozzles spray the anti-freeze. Be sure the anti-freeze fully
circulates through the spraying system. This will prevent
any remaining liquid material from freezing, which can
damage the sprayer system.
3. Empty the hopper of any granular material.
4. Check the unit for accumulations of any material. Clean
all external surfaces and the engine.
5. Check the unit for fertilizer build up. Rinse the unit with
water to remove any build up before storing.
6. Completely grease the unit as outlined in
the Lubrication section.
