Use of Rinse Tank and Rinsing Nozzles
The integrated rinse tank can be used for two different purposes:
A. In-field diluting before cleaning.
B. Flushing when main tank is not empty.
ATTENTION! If a cleaning procedure is given on the chemical label, follow it closely.

an extra cleaning:
10.
Fill the rinse tank again.
11.
Fill the main tank with 130 gal. (500 liters) of clean water. See appropriate “Filling of water” section for filling procedure.
