When storing the sprayer for longer periods of time, the
following procedures must be followed to lessen the chance
of rust and corrosion on the unit. It may be easier to perform
functions 1 - 5 while the unit is connected to the tractor.
This will allow for pumping and spray rinsing power.
1. Make certain tank is completely empty.
2. Thoroughly flush the inside of the poly tank with
clean water.
3. Flush clean water through all areas of the plumbing,
pumping valving and nozzle system.
4. If the sprayer will be exposed to possible freezing
temperatures, the final flush of the system should be
made with an anti-freeze liquid that is compatible with
the sprayers components.
5. Open all drain points and let as much liquid drain as
possible.
6. Remove and clean the strainers.
7. Remove and clean nozzles.
8. Check for loose hardware and fittings and tighten
accordingly.
9. Replace all caps, tank lids and plug nozzle outlets
prior to storage.
10. Poly tanks can become damaged when subjected
to direct sunlight. For longer life of this system it is
best to store it in a cool dry location or drape with
a sun protective tarp.
11. Store sprayer with booms folded resting in the
cradles. Coat all exposed cylinder shafts with a
rust inhibitor to prevent corrosion. Verify with the
manufacturers of the rust inhibitor and your tractor’s
hydraulic oil that the two are compatible before use.
Block and support the trailer sprayer when working on a unit
that has been removed from the tractor
CAUTION
All chemical contaminated rinse material must be collected
and disposed of according to product label instructions and in
accordance with all Local, State, and Federal Laws.
