SPECIAL STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS
In areas where the sprayer is
NOT
used 12 months of the year, special preparations
must be used for winter or off season storage. Because solvents evaporate quickly,
they should not be used for long term storage. A petroleum based solution ( solvent
and oil ) should be used as an extended storage material.
DO NOT
allow storage
solution to freeze in the sprayer.
H.E.R.O. Equipment Wonder Wash, available from your H.E.R.O. distributor,
will provide the added cleaning benefits of solvent at a much lower cost. Suitable
as a short term ( 1-2 days ) storage solution only
