It is essential that you winterize your sprayer to avoid damage and allow for optimal performance. The winterization process should
be performed before freezing conditions or after each season of use. Failure to winterize your sprayer will void the manufacturer’s
warranty and could cause damage to the sprayer.
Winterizing your Sprayer
1. Verify that the tank is empty and rinsed out. Pour 1/2 to 1 gallon of RV non-toxic antifreeze into the tank. WARNING: Do not use
standard automotive antifreeze (ethylene glycol) as it can be harmful to humans, animals, crops, and the environment.
2. Engage the pump by turning on the power switch (2) (Figure 2, pg 5), then spray with the boom and the spray gun. NOTE: Be
sure that the antifreeze has been pumped through the entire system including all spray nozzles.
3. Store the sprayer in a dry location away from the elements.
4. Before spraying in the spring it is recommended to flush the sprayer with fresh water to cleanse it of the antifreeze and any
other buildup. NOTE: Perform a thorough inspection of all sprayer components before spraying.
Maintenance Instructions
IMPORTANT: Do not, under any circumstances, run any petroleum based substance (such as diesel fuel) through the sprayer.
This will cause damage to sprayer components and will void the manufacturer’s warranty.
Routine Maintenance
NOTE: Due to normal wear, Teejet
®
recommends that you replace your sprayer nozzles after every spraying season. Nozzle
replacement will ensure accurate spraying performance.
5. Cleaning the spray nozzle
•
Remove spray nozzle (1) (Figure 2) from sprayer.
•
