After Spraying
After use, fill the sprayer tank part way with water. Start the
sprayer, and allow the clear water to be pumped through the
plumbing system and out through the spray nozzles.
Refill the tank about half full with plain water and use FIMCO
Tank Neutralizer and Cleaner, and repeat cleaning instructions
above.
Flush the entire sprayer with the neutralizing/cleaning agent,
then flush out one more time with plain water. Follow the
chemical manufacturer's disposal instructions of all wash or
rinsing water.
For the boom, (if applicable) remove the tips and screens from
the nozzle assemblies. Wash these items out thoroughly. Blow
the orifice clean and dry. If the orifice remains clogged, clean it
with a fine bristle (NOT WIRE) brush, or with a toothpick. Do
not damage the orifice. Water rinse and dry the tips before
storing.
WARNING: Some chemicals will damage the pump valves
if allowed to soak untreated for a length of time! ALWAYS
flush the pump as instructed after each use.
Storing Sprayer
When sprayer is not in use, release Cam Lock Handles. This is to prevent deforming of Cam Lock Mechanism.
Do not use QR bracket Cams to hold and store boom in vertical position.

Drain all water out of your sprayer, paying special attention to the
pump, handgun, and valve(s). These items are especially prone
to damage from chemicals and freezing weather.
The sprayer should be winterized before storage by pumping a
solution of RV antifreeze through the entire plumbing system.
This antifreeze solution should remain in the plumbing system
during the winter months. When spring time comes and you are
preparing your sprayer for the spray season, rinse the entire
plumbing system out, clearing the lines of the antifreeze solution.
Proper care and maintenance will prolong the life of your sprayer.
