Tank Care & Maintenance
Warning:
Do not use the tank as a container for fuel oils, kerosene, gasoline or any other petroleum distillate product. All polyole-
fins are softened and permeated by such products. In an enclosed area the vaporization of these materials from the outside sur-
face of the tank could create a dangerous condition.
The tank should not be used as a pressure vessel nor used with chemicals or solutions having a weight of more than 12 pounds per
gallon.
Store the tank in a dry dark place when not in use. Storage out of sunlight will prolong the life of the tank.
Do not drop, strike or kick the tank, especially at low temperatures. Tanks become brittle and are subject to cracking at tempera-
tures below 20° Fahrenheit.
Always flush the tank with water and a neutralizing agent at the end of each use, to prevent contamination of solutions.
Winter Storage
Prepare the sprayer for end
-
of
-
season storage by running RV antifreeze through the system. This will keep internal parts lubricat-
ed, protect against corrosion and keep the unit from freezing.
Note: RV antifreeze is non
-
toxic and biodegradable and generally
safer for the environment than automotive antifreeze.
Before storing your sprayer for winter or long term storage, thoroughly clean and drain it as much as possible. Then pour enough
pink RV antifreeze into the tank so that when the pump is turned on you can pump the antifreeze throughout the entire plumbing
system, including the bypass. Make sure to operate the handgun until you see pink fluid spraying from the nozzle. Leave any re-
maining antifreeze in the tank. Before your next usage, rinse the antifreeze from the sprayer with clean water.
It is nearly impossible to drain all of the water from the sprayer and any trapped water can freeze in cold weather and damage
parts of the sprayer. Pumping the antifreeze through the system will displace the water and help prevent this damage.
Removing from storage: drain the antifreeze. Fill the tank with fresh water and run through the system. Dispose of antifreeze and
flush water properly.
