Prepare Machine to Ship During Cold-Weather Months

IMPORTANT: Water freezing in tanks and lines can damage the machine. When shipping the machine in cold-weather months, make sure that the machine can withstand the lowest possible temperatures that it is subjected.

Avoid damage by emptying all solution tanks and lines, and then adding SprayMaster™ Winterizer Fluid.

To add SprayMaster™ Winterizer Fluid to the machine spray system do the following:

  1. Add approximately 76—114 L (20—30 gal) of appropriate mixture of SprayMaster™ Winterizer Fluid. Following manufacturers directions, mix SprayMaster™ Winterizer Fluid at the correct ratio to protect the solution system down to the lowest expected temperature.

  2. Start machine and operate spray system until winterizer fluid mixture comes out of spray nozzles. Be sure to circulate mixture through the entire solution system, including optional devices (eductor and fence row nozzles). Operate pressure valve in both bypass and tank rinse positions.

  3. Drain the following tanks:

    N98449
    N98449-UN-07MAY12

    A - Rinse Tank Fill Valve

    • Rinse tank: Drain it through the rinse tank fill valve (A).
    • Clean water tank.



  4. Leave note in the cab detailing what was done for winter protection. So, the next person to use the machine will know what kind of preparation is needed for field operation.
