After cleaning the sprayer with a detergent, fill at least 1/5 of the tank with clean water and
repeat the cleaning process. Make sure that you have cleaned all elements that have come in
contact with the insecticide or the detergent.
Thoroughly clean all filters and be careful not to damage the filter insert. If the filter insert is
damaged, replace it. Filter cleaning procedure is described in chapter “SUCTION FILTER”.
Clean the nozzles at the end. Clean nozzles only with a soft brush, compressed air or water.
Cleaning with hard objects can damage the nozzles.
WARNING: If you clean the sprayer with high-pressure cleaning device, we
recommend greasing of all moving parts after cleaning!
13.2 Maintenance and storage after season
When the spraying season is over, find some time and prepare the spraying device for storage.
Before storing the device, thoroughly clean the inside and the outside of the sprayer
(regulator, pump, sieves, selection valves, nozzles, etc.). When the cleaning is done make sure
that there is no water left in the valves, the filters, the pump, the nozzles, etc. Do not maintain
the sprayer until it has not been thoroughly cleaned.
13.2.1 Hoses
Check tightness of all hoses and hose junctions. Replace damaged hoses with new ones. A
damaged hose can cost you a lot of time during spraying.
13.2.2 Paint
Some insecticides contain solvents which affect the paint. Clean the corrosion off of
colourless parts of the spraying device and apply some new paint.
13.2.3 Tank
Make sure that there are no rests of insecticide inside the tank. Chemical agents must not stay
in the tank for a long time, since they can fast shorten the durability of the tank and other
parts. Make sure that the outflow is opened.
13.2.4 Pressure regulator
Protect the pressure regulator against moisture and dust. Use a plastic bag. We recommend
lubricating moving parts with WD-40 or oil.
13.2.5 Hose connections
Causes of poor sealing of hose connections:
- missing seals
- damaged or poorly inserted seal
- dry or deformed seal
- incorrect connections
