15 MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE AFTER SPRAYING SEASON
After the end of spraying season, take some time to prepare the sprayer for storage. Before storing it,
thoroughly clean the whole sprayer from the outside and inside (pressure regulator, pump, strainers,
selection valves, nozzles…). After the cleaning is over, make sure that all water is discharged from
valves, the pump, nozzles… After a thorough cleaning, carry out maintenance works.
15.1 TUBES
Check if tubes and tube joints are waterproof. Damaged tubes must be replaced with new ones. A
defective tube can cause a great loss of time in the middle of spraying season.
15.2 COLOUR
Some spray agents contain solvents that have damaging effects on the colour. Where the colour is
damaged, remove the rust and apply new colour with a brush.
15.3 TANK
Make sure there is no spray agent residue in the tank. Chemical residues must not remain in the
spraying device for a longer period of time, for they quickly decrease the lifetime of the tank and other
components. Make sure the tank outflow stays open.
15.4 PRESSURE REGULATOR
Protect the pressure regulator from moisture and dust. It is recommended to lubricate all movable parts
with WD-40 or oil. More about maintenance can be read in the chapter “PRESSURE REGULATOR
MAINTENANCE”.
15.5 TUBE JOINTS
Reasons for improper sealing of tube joints:
- missing seals
- damaged or improperly inserted seal
- dry or defective seal
- unsuitable connectors.
In the case of poor sealing or leakage:
DO NOT SCREW
the joint too hard for it can be damaged, rather
dismantle the joint, check its state and position of the seal,
lubricate and reconstruct it.
Use non-mineral lubricants (bio lubricants) for lubricating.
NOTE:
- by radial sealing it is enough to fasten the extension with your hand
- by axial sealing use a weaker force with hand tools.
