Total Rinse & Decontamination
Total Rinse & Decontamination of the Cruiser's spraying system
is important whenever changing chemicals or applications and
at the end of the spraying application.
Total Rinse & Decontamination draws clean water from an
external source using the Fill Pump & 3" clean water inlet, plus
an appropriate cleaner/decontaminant is added to clean &
neutralise the chemicals previously used.
The procedure requires a minimum of 1000 litres of clean water
in the Product Tank and the Rinse Tank must be filled before
proceeding.
After Rinsing, it is recommended to remove and clean the pressure filter and the
suction filter.
