Storage
1. Empty solution from the tank, clean the chemical
inductor (option), and store or dispose of the chemi-
cal as recommended by the manufacturer’s chemical
label.
2. Flush the entire sprayer system with clean water.
3. Clean out Whirlfilter®. See “Clean-out the solution
Whirlfilter®” on page 61.
4. Circulate 3 - 5 gallons (11-19 liters) of antifreeze
(Great Plains strongly recommends the use of non-
toxic recreational vehicle antifreeze) through the sys-
tem including the pump, hoses and nozzles.
5. A cast iron pump must be either full of RV antifreeze
or completely empty of all liquid to avoid corrosion. If
the content of the pump is unclear it is advisable to
drain the pump, remove it, and place it in a warm dry,
environment during the winter.
Regular antifreeze is harmful or fatal to animals and humans.
Use carefully according to the label’s instructions. We strongly
recommend the use of recreational vehicle (RV) antifreeze
which does not exhibit these harmful side effects.
6. Wash off the exterior of the sprayer thoroughly using
a safe solvent or soap and water.
7. Unhitch sprayer per steps under “Parking” on page
52.
8. Remove nozzles, disconnect the control box, and
place them indoors with the pump.
9. Change filters in the tractor cab after finished.
10. Apply grease to exposed cylinder rods to prevent
rust. Be sure to remove grease prior to next use, to
avoid damaging seals.
11. Inspect all parts of the sprayer for wear and rust.
Repair and paint parts as necessary.
12. Store the sprayer in a dry area away from direct sun-
light.
