Sprayer Cleaning
1.
Perform all the steps in

in
the Operation section.
2.
Add a rust inhibiting, non-alcohol based, RV
antifreeze solution to the system. See label to
ensure the product will provide appropriate
protection for the climate.
A.
Make sure the sprayer is empty and let the
pump run until the nozzles are spraying air.
B.
Pour 2 gallons (7.6 L) of RV anti-freeze into
each of the sprayer tanks.
C.
Run the pump to distribute the anti-freeze
mix throughout the system.
D.
Set the spray levers position to begin spraying.
Allow the antifreeze to circulate through
sprayer and nozzles. Remove the wand from
its holder, point it in a safe direction, and
squeeze the spray wand trigger. Return the
wand to its holder.
Note:
Do Not allow all the mix to spray
out of the tank. Keeping some antifreeze in
the pump, valves, and hoses will help prevent
rusting and damage caused by moist air that
may be trapped in the system.

pump switch.
