ters the chemical solution being sprayed.

the following:
1. Fill the sprayer tank with water and turn the pump
on.
2. With the pump running, slowly open the clean-out
valve and allow the grit to flow out into a bucket.
Clean out the solution Whirlfilter
® only when the
sprayer tank is filled with water and no chemical has
been added.
3. Close the clean-out valve and turn off the pump.
4. Dispose of the grit and water in the same manner
described on the manufacturer’s label of the latest
chemical used in the sprayer.
