3.2 DAILY MAINTENANCE
Your Summers Supersprayer will give you lasting trouble free service if it is properly maintained.
1. Grease all points shown (See Figure 1).
2. Check all hydraulic components for leaks.
3. Check all wheel bolts.
4. Check all sprayer system components for leaks.
5. Clean sprayer system strainer.
6. Check water level in optional clean water tank plus check
that rubber gloves and goggles are present.
7. Check tanks for movement and tighten hold down compo-
nents as required.
8. Check nozzle patterns. If a nozzle pattern is distorted:
a. Remove nozzle tip.
b. Clean with toothbrush, wooden or plastic probe. Never
use a metal object since tip damage will occur.
c. Blow out nozzle tip with compressed air no greater than
40 psi.
NEVER USE YOUR MOUTH TO BLOW
OUT A NOZZLE TIP.
d. Replace nozzle tip if necessary.
e. Install nozzle tip back onto sprayer.
9. During periods of use in freezing temperatures:
a. Flush entire sprayer system with recreational vehicle (RV) anti-
freeze. RV anti-freeze is non-toxic and safe for the environ-
ment. It must be used in 100 percent concentrations, but it is
more economical than permanent type anti-freeze to purchase
and will not corrode plastic spray components.
b. Spray solution through nozzles.
c. Allow dripless nozzles to drain by loosening each diaphragm check valve nut.
10. When changing chemicals, follow chemical manufacturers’ WARNINGS, instructions and procedures
concerning sprayer system cleaning.
