4. When finished spraying, close the remote valve, disengage (turn off) the clutch, and stop the engine.
If using fiber mulch, retain as much water as possible in the hose by elevating the ends or by cou-
pling the ends together.
5. If another load is to be done, see reloading procedure below. If finished for the day, follow the clean
up procedure and flush out the hose.
