4.2 DAILY MAINTENANCE
Your Summers field sprayer will give you better service and
last longer if it is properly maintained.
1. Grease all points shown.
2. Check all hydraulic components for leaks.
3. Check all sprayer system components for leaks.
4. Clean sprayer system strainer.
5. Check tank hold down straps.
6. Check nozzle patterns. If a nozzle pattern is
distorted:
a. Remove nozzle tip.
b. Clean with tooth brush, wooden or plastic
probe. Never use a metal object since
damage will occur.
c. Blow out nozzle tip with compressed air
no greater than 40 psi. Never use your
mouth to blow out a nozzle tip.
d. Replace nozzle tip if necessary.
e. Install nozzle tip back onto sprayer.
7. During periods of use in freezing tempera-
tures:
a. (Flush entire sprayer system with 100% RV
antifreeze.) RV antifreeze is nontoxic and
safe for the environment. It must be used
in 100 percent concentrations, but it is more
economical then permanent antifreeze to
purchase and will not corrode plastic spray
components. Read and follow antifreeze
container instructions.
b. Spray solution through nozzles.
c. Allow dripless nozzles to drain by loosening each diaphragm check valve nut. With both booms in transport
position liquid accumulates near the boom pivot point. To permit drainage, remove the boom end cap or
end nozzle and supply hose from each boom.
