Rinsing The Sprayer
It's important that you rinse the sprayer after each use, and
every time you change chemical solutions in the tank. In most
cases, it's best to rinse and flush the sprayer in the field, to mini-
mize handling issues, with rinse water. In some cases, you may also
want to add a commercial tank cleaner to the rinse water to help
dissolve or neutralize certain chemicals. When doing so, be sure to
read and follow the tank cleaner manufacturer's directions for use
of the tank cleaner. Wear proper protective clothing, including
gloves and eye protection.
1. Make sure the 100-gallon rinse tank has been filled with clean water.
2. With the pump off, turn pump valve to the “rinse” position (page D8).
3. Open tank rinse valve (This is the smaller valve on the top of the valve plate.)
4. With sparge valve closed, turn on pump and operate long enough to pull about half the water
out of rinse tank through the system.
5. Switch pump valve back to main tank, open sparge valve for agitation, and close tank rinse
valve. This allows rinse water to circulate through plumbing and valves, while further rinsing main
tank.
6. Discharge rinse through boom valves and spray nozzles, preferably in the field where you
have been spraying.
7. Shut off pump and close sparge valve.
8. Switch pump valve back to rinse tank.
9. With rinse valve and the boom valves open, start pump to circulate remaining rinse water
through valves and plumbing system and out boom spray nozzles.
