IMPORTANT:
To prevent damage to piston pump:
Keep air out of pump. Entrance of 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.
ONE TO TWO WEEKS
ACCEPTABLE:
Draw fresh water into pump diluting and flushing out solution. DO NOT DRAIN. Keep pump sealed to exclude air.
|
PREFERRED:
1.
Turn pump by hand using contact drive tire to flush pump and distribution hoses thoroughly with 19 L to 38 L (5 gal to 10 gal) of fresh water by drawing in through suction lines.
IMPORTANT:
Remove delivery hoses from distribution manifold before adding winterizer to system. Delivery hoses are not compatible with winterizers containing Propylene Glycol or Ethylene Glycol and damage will result.
Use compressed air to force water from delivery hoses and nozzles. Failure to remove water from hoses may cause damage if freezing occurs.
2.
Remove delivery hoses from distribution manifold.
3.
Apply enough compressed air to delivery hoses to completely drain water from each hose and nozzle.
4.
Replace water with appropriate mixture of SPRAY MASTER
™
Winterizer Fluid at the correct ratio to protect the system down to the lowest expected temperature. Turn pump by hand using contact drive tire and circulate winterizer into pump, and distribution manifolds.
