The system must be flushed after each use to protect the equipment from the
corrosive material in the formulation.
CAUTION
Never handle any parts that come in contact with the formulation until the
unit has been thoroughly flushed with recommended flushing agent.

4) Insert the end of the Flush Tube into the container
with flushing solution.
5) Rotate the lever of the 3-way valve to the flush
position (pointing up).
6) Whit the engine running, move the spray switch at
the remote control to the “ON” position.
The flushing solution will pass through the hoses,
valves and nozzle, flushing the system.
When the flushing solution is finished, move the
spray switch at the remote control to the “OFF”
position, move the lever of the 3-way valve to the
“OFF” position (horizontal), turn the engine kill switch
to the Stop (OFF) position.
The manual 3-way valve is used as a selector to route
either Formulation or Flushing solution from their
respective tank/container to the nozzle.
To flush the system, locate the machine in an open and
well ventilated place, and perform the following procedure:
1) Verify that the spray switch at the remote control is in
the “OFF” position.
2) Remove the end of the flush tube from the tube holder
(see diagram).
3) Prepare a container with at least 33 oz (100 ml) of
flushing solution (like Kerosene or Diesel fuel).
FLUSHING SYSTEM
Remove the container used for the flushing solution, reinsert the end of the Flush
tube into the hole of the tube holder, and disconnect the remote control from the
solenoid valve.
Note: To reduce the time of the Flushing operation, the metering valve could be
fully opened after at least 16 oz (50 ml) of flush solution have been introduced
into the system. Once this operation is performed, close the metering valve after
flushing the system. Flow rate calibration will be required for next use.
