Therefore, in case of leaks: DO NOT overtighten. Disassemble, check
condition and position of O-ring or gasket, clean lubricate and reas-
semble. The O-ring should be lubricated ALL THE WAY ROUND
before fitting on to the nozzle tube.

For radial connections only hand tighten.

For axial connections, a little me-
chanical leverage may be used.

Off-season storage

When the spraying season is over you should devote some extra time
to the sprayer before it is stored.

Hoses
Check that none of the hoses are cut or have sharp bends.
A leaky hose can give an annoying delay in the middle of  the spraying
job. Therefore check all the hoses and replace them if there is any
doubt about the durability.

Paint
Some chemicals are very rough on paints. It is therefore well advised
to remove rust, if any, and then touch up the paint.

Tank
Check that no chemical residues are left from the last spraying. Chemi-
cal residues must not be left in the tank for a long time. It will reduce
the life of the tank. See section on Cleaning the sprayer.

Transmission shaft
Check that the shaft fullfils its security purpose, e.g. that shields and
protective tubes are intact.

Anti-freeze precaution
If the sprayer is not stored in a frost free place you should take the
following precautions: Put at least 10 litres of 33% anti-freeze mixture
in the tank and let the pump run a few minutes so that the entire sys-
tem including spray hose are filled. The anti-freeze solution also hin-
ders the O-rings and gaskets from drying out.
Remove the glycerine filled pressure gauge and store it frost free in
vertical position.
