Cleaning
Filters
The fluid in the sprayer is continually being
filtered through a screen filter in the boom
control, agitation, and boom feed lines. The
sprayer must have clean water to prevent
clogging of the screens and check valves
when in use. These screens must be cleaned
daily or more often as required. To clean,
follow this procedure:
1.
At the start of each day before the water
and chemicals are added, the screens
should be checked and cleaned.
2.
If there is water or solution in the sprayer,
close the sump valve to isolate the
screens.
3.
Loosen the filter bodies by hand. Do not
use a wrench as this could damage the
filter body.
4.
Remove the screens and inspect them
for dirt.
5.
Clean them using clean water.
6.
Inspect for holes or tears. If there is
damage, replace it.
7.
Install the screens and body to the filter
heads and tighten by hand. Do not use a
wrench as this might damage the body.
Do not over tighten and crack the head.
8.
Open the ball valves to allow the solution
to circulate.
9.
Drain all screens before storage to avoid
freezing.
