CHECK FOR LOOSE FASTENERS
Before each use make a thorough visual check of
the sprayer for any bolts and nuts which may have
loosened. Retighten any loose bolts and nuts.
CLEANING
STRAINER
Periodically clean the strainer in the end of the intake
hose at the bottom of the tank. Remove the nylon
swivel nut from the hose, pull out the screen and flush
it with clear water.
CLEANING
TANK
After each use, fill the tank part way with water, start
the sprayer and allow clear water to be pumped
through the plumbing system and out through the
handgun. Use the handgun to thoroughly wash all
internal parts of the tank and the outside of the tank.
Refill the tank about half full with plain water and a
chemical neutralizer and repeat the cleaning instruc-
tions above. Flush the entire sprayer with the neutral-
izing agent. Follow the chemical manufacturers
instructions for disposal of all was h or rinsing water.
Drain all water out of the sprayer, paying special
attention to the pump and handgun. These items are
especially prone to damage from chemicals and
freezing weather.
The sprayer should be winterized before storage by
pumping a 50-50 solution of water and R. V. anti-
freeze through the entire plumbing. Proper care and
maintenance will prolong the life of the sprayer.
