Ensure the Cruiser is properly cleaned and stored at the end of day & end of season.

End of Day

At the end of each spraying day, follow the instructions for
Basic Rinsing or Total Rinse & Decontamination.
If icing occurs, it is important to ensure any ice has thawed before using the
Cruiser.
Failure to thaw ice prior to use will cause damage to the machine.
All chemicals have corrosive properties to some degree. Prevent damage to the
machine by always consulting the chemical MSDS or the chemical supplier for advice
concerning the corrosive properties of the chemical.
It is the responsibility of the operator to carry out preventative and ongoing maintenance
to the machine, particularly while applying chemicals with highly corrosive properties.
Machine components should be coated with a suitable protectant during storage,
then washed down, thoroughly, before use.
Consult the supplier of protectants, if you require specific advice about the
effectiveness of any particular protectant to prevent premature degradation of
machine components.
