Cleaning the Sprayer System and
Wand
Important:
Always empty and clean the sprayer
immediately after each use. Failure to do so may
cause the chemicals to dry or thicken in the lines,
clogging the pump and other components.
1. Pull back both narrow and wide-spray pattern
levers to the O
N
position ( Figure 50 ).
The sprayer nozzles begin spraying.
2. Allow the rinse water in the tank to spray through
the nozzles.
3. Check that all 3 nozzles are spraying correctly.
4. Remove the sprayer wand from the holder, point
the wand in a safe direction, and squeeze the
trigger; refer to
Spray-Wand Trigger and Trigger
Lock (page 15) .
Note:
Allow the rinse water to discharge from
the wand for 1 to 2 minutes.
5. Release the trigger for the wand and return it to
the holder on the machine (
Figure 7 ).
6. Move the spray-pattern levers forward to the
O
FF
position, set the sprayer-pump switch to the
O
FF
position, and shut off the engine ( Figure 50 ).
7. Clean the strainer; refer to Cleaning the Strainer
(page 45) .
8. Repeat steps 2 through 7 using cleaners and
neutralizers recommended by the chemical
manufacturers; refer to
Filling the Spray Tank
(page 38) .
9. Repeat steps 2 through 7 using clean water only.
Cleaning the External Components
1. Using a hose to wash off the outside of the
sprayer tank with clean water.
Note:
Do not use a power washer to clean
the machine. The high-pressure water
may force residual corrosive materials into
spreader-spreader components.
2. Remove and clean the sprayer nozzles; refer to
Cleaning the Sprayer Nozzle (page 45) .
Note:
Replace damaged or worn nozzles.
3. Allow the spreader-sprayer to completely dry
before the next use.
