IMPORTANT:
To prevent damage to piston pump:
Keep air out of pump. Getting air into the pump will cause rapid and severe corrosion to the interior pump components, even for short periods of storage.
Keep pump from freezing.
Remove drive chain when not in use.
OVERNIGHT/CLEAR LIQUIDS:
1.
During steady or rising temperatures, leave pump and hoses filled with solution.
2.
During cooling weather (solution is likely to salt out), fill pump with water and leave filled. DO NOT admit air.
SUSPENSION FERTILIZER:
Fertilizer must be flushed from the pump for any storage period.
