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 Nozzles (page 44) .
Note:
Replace damaged or worn nozzles.
3. Allow the spreader-sprayer to completely dry
before the next use.

Important:
If you used wettable-powder
chemicals, clean the strainer after each time that
