To prolong the life of your Nitro-Gro applicator, perform the following before placing the implement in storage:
1. Remove dirt and debris that may cause rusting.
2. Repaint any areas where the paint has been chipped, scratched or worn away.
3. Coat all earth moving surfaces with a suitable rust preventative.
4. Inspect for damaged or worn parts and replace before next use.
5. Lubricate coulter hubs.
6. Replace all worn, torn and faded decals and reflectors.
7. Store the implement inside away from inclement weather.

9. Cover Flow Monitors from the sunlight. If the Flow Monitors are exposed to the sun for a long period of time
they will turn cloudy and hard to see through.

add Marine RV Anti Freeze. Run the Anti Freeze thru the strainer, valves, check valves, and the orifices.
