Maintenance During/After Spraying
Periodically check the strainer and clean the screen on your intake
line.
Proper care and maintenance will prolong the life of your sprayer.
After use, drain the tank and store or dispose of chemical properly.
Fill the sprayer half way with clean water. Start the pump and allow
the water to pump through the entire plumbing system and nozzles.
Drain and then refill half full, add the recommended amount of a
good quality tank cleaner, such as FIMCO Tank Neutralizer and
Cleaner. (If no tank cleaner is available, you may substitute dish
soap for this step, about 1-2 oz. per gallon). Turn pump on and
circulate through system for 15 minutes and then spray out through
boom and handgun nozzles. Refill sprayer half way with clean water
and repeat. Follow the chemical manufacturer’s disposal instructions
of all wash or rinsing water.
If boom or handgun nozzles need cleaning, remove them from the
sprayer and soak in warm soapy water. Clean with a soft bristled
brush or toothpick if necessary. Never use a metal object. Even the
slightest damage can change the flow rate and spray distribution.
Water rinse and dry the tips before storing.
WARNING:
Some chemicals will damage the pump valves if
allowed to soak untreated for a length of time! ALWAYS flush the
pump as instructed after each use. DO NOT allow chemicals to sit in
the pump for extended times of idleness. Follow the chemical
manufacturer’s instructions on disposal of all waste water from the
sprayer.
Winter Storage
Prepare the sprayer for end-of-season storage by running RV
antifreeze through the system. This will keep internal parts
lubricated, protect against corrosion and keep the unit from freezing.
Note: RV antifreeze is non-toxic and biodegradable and generally
safer for the environment than automotive antifreeze.
Before storing your sprayer for winter or long term storage,
thoroughly clean and drain it as much as possible. Then pour
enough pink RV antifreeze into the tank so that when the pump is
turned on you can pump the antifreeze throughout the entire
plumbing system, including the bypass. Make sure to operate the
boom and handgun until you see pink fluid spraying from the
nozzles. Leave any remaining antifreeze in the tank. Before your
next usage, rinse the antifreeze from the sprayer with clean water.
It is nearly impossible to drain all of the water from the sprayer and
any trapped water can freeze in cold weather and damage parts of
the sprayer. Pumping the antifreeze through the system will displace
the water and help prevent this damage.
Removing from storage: drain the antifreeze. Fill the tank with fresh
water and run through the system. Dispose of antifreeze and flush
water properly.
