Perform all the steps in
(page 36)
in the Operation section.
2.
Add a rust inhibiting, non-alcohol based, RV
antifreeze solution to the system. See label
to ensure the product will provide appropriate
protection for the climate.
A.
Make sure the sprayer is empty and let the
pump run until the nozzles are spraying air.
B.
Pour 7.6 L (2 US gallons) of RV anti-freeze
into each of the sprayer tanks.
C.
Run the pump to distribute the anti-freeze
mix throughout the system.
D.
Set the spray levers position to begin
spraying. Allow the antifreeze to circulate
through sprayer and nozzles. Remove
the wand from its holder, point it in a safe
direction, and squeeze the spray wand
trigger. Return the wand to its holder.
Note:
Do not allow all the mix to spray out
