PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

•  When servicing, you may need to close the 

shut-off valve and/or the return valve, to prevent 
stored brine from exiting the holding tank.

•  Wash unit after each use to prevent material 

build-up and corrosion.

•  Use dielectric grease on all electrical connections 

to prevent corrosion each time power or signal 
plugs are disconnected.

•  Paint or oil all bare metal surfaces as needed.

•  Inspect unit for defects: broken, worn, or bent 

parts, and similar.

•  Inspect all tubing, hoses, and harnesses for 

cracks and leaks.

•  Clean the brine 

fi

 lter as needed. Close the shut-off 

valve and access the 

fi

 lter by unscrewing the top 

cap, then unscrewing the 

fi

 lter cover.

•  Retighten bolts, screws, and other connections 

after 

fi

 rst use and as needed.

END OF SEASON AND STORAGE

•  Before long periods of storage, 

fl

 ush out the 

tank, pumping system, and boom to remove salt 
build-up and prevent corrosion.

•  Do not leave unused material in the unit for a 

prolonged period of time.

NOZZLE MAINTENANCE

Remove nozzles by pushing in and rotating the nozzle 
cap counterclockwise and clean as necessary.

When reassembling nozzles, make sure that the 
nozzle holes are in line with the boom. Failure to 
align the nozzle holes will result in inconsistent brine 
application.

MAINTENANCE

NOTE: To prevent leaks, use a thread-sealing 
compound on all threaded connections. Do 
not use Te

fl

 on

®

 tape, as fragments will clog the 

spray nozzles. Clamped connections may require 
periodic retightening

CLEAN OUT

1.  Disconnect nozzle assemblies at rear of vehicle at 

quick-disconnect point.

2.  Make yourself a hose with matching male 

quick-disconnect to hook up at quick-disconnect 
point.

3.  Install hose at quick-disconnect point and put the 

other end in the storage tank.

4.  Turn ON pump and run it until the tank is empty.

5.  Add water and RV antifreeze; mix into tank.

6.  Reinstall quick-disconnect from nozzle 

assemblies.
