Maintenance

Proper servicing and adjustment is the key to the
long life of any implement. With careful and sys-
tematic inspection, you can avoid costly downtime
and repair.

Equipment Clean Up

Cleaning your sprayer is one of the most important
parts of a regular maintenance program.

Nozzles should be cleaned with a low pressure air
hose and replaced when out of tolerance. Have a
source of water near by so you can clean the spray
tank and applicator out in a suitable location.
Never wash tank out in the yard or at a car wash.

Dispose of leftover chemical in the same manner
described on the manufacturer’s label of the chemi-
cal last used in the sprayer. Rinse out the tank and
spray the rinse water on the last area that was
sprayed.

While the sprayer is being flushed at eh field, turn
the boom section switches on to flush the nozzles,
then turn them off to flush out the throttling valves
and bypass lines. Repeat this procedure several
times. Periodically clean each throttling valve by
unscrewing the adjustment knob until it stops. Flush
it with the fresh water by operating the pump with
the boom section switches off. Reset the solenoid
throttling valves a described in Solenoids & Throt-
tling Valves on page 19.

The boom pressure gauge has a ball valve that is
used to clean out any chemical that has built up un-
der the gauge protector. With the sprayer tank full
of water and the pump running, open the ball valve
and allow the water to run in a bucket. After the liq-
uid coming out of the hose turns clear, turn off the
ball valve and dumb the contents of the bucket into
the sprayer tank.
