IMPORTANT:
Water freezing in tanks and lines can damage the machine. When shipping the machine in months when there is a chance of freezing make sure the machine can withstand the lowest possible temperatures it will be subjected to.
Avoid damage by emptying all solution tanks and lines, and then add RV antifreeze. (Environmentally safe antifreeze.)
To add RV antifreeze to machine spray system do the following:
1.
Add approximately 76-114 L (20-30 gal) of appropriate mixture of RV antifreeze (environmentally safe antifreeze). Following manufacturers directions, mix RV antifreeze at the correct ratio to protect the solution system down to the lowest expected temperature.

2.
Start machine and operate spray system until water/antifreeze mixture comes out of spray nozzles. Be sure to circulate mixture through entire solution system, including optional devices (fence row nozzle(s)). Operate valve for pressure manifold.
3.
Drain the following tanks:
-
Rinse tank-Drain through quick-fill on rinse tank.
-
Hand rinse bottle-Empty through valve.
4.
Prepare foam marker system for cold weather. See procedure in this section.
5.
Leave note in the cab detailing what was done for winter protection so that the next person to use the machine will know what kind of preparation is needed for field operation.
