Care and Maintenance
Proper care and maintenance is essential to the longevity of the sprayer. Be sure to
clean the sprayer after use, ensuring that all salt and road spray are removed. Make
sure the choke, throttle, and other engine components are sprayed down with a
penetrant and lubricant product like Fluid Film, JB-80, or WD-40. Follow recommended
oil, filter, and spark plug replacement intervals as recommended by Honda.
After the season is complete, be sure to rinse out your sprayer and run fresh water
through the entire system to wash out any salt residue. Use dielectric grease on all
connection points and cap them. Add stabilizer to the fuel tank and run the motor to
ensure proper off season storage of fuel.
IMPORTANT
Avoid running the motor without liquid either due to not having your tank valve open
while running or running your tank dry, this will cause damage to the pump seal and
potentially the pump housing. This is NOT a warranty item.
You should tighten down your tank straps the first time you fill the tank full with liquid.
After each storm you should check the straps to make sure they haven’t loosened for
any reason.
We recommend pre-treating at 30-50 gallons per acre, and post treating at 80-100
gallons per acre (sometimes more in cases of severe snow and ice pack) but we always
recommend consulting the manufacturer of the de-icing product you are using for
application rates as they can vary between products.
