Fertilizer Plumbing Maintenance
Depending on the time before next use, and the
weather possible during that period, follow the steps
beginning at “Parking and Storage” on page 33.
Tank Cleaning
1. Wear protective apparel, including footwear, as the
ground under the cart will get damp.
2. Perform the steps at “Parking and Storage” on
page 33.
3. Remove the drain caps from all tanks.
4. On the 1600 gallon tank, set the tank discharge
valve to select the pump side.
5. Open the tank lids and rinse the inside of each
tank with a strong stream of water from a hose.
6. Re-attach the drain caps, but leave them loose to
permit drainage of residual moisture, and any that
may collect. Tag the caps for tightening at next
tank use.
7. Add a few cups of anti-freeze to each tank. Most of
it will drain out, but what remains will protect any
hoses or fittings that did not otherwise drain.
8. Secure the tank lids.
