Shipping Machine During Cold Weather Months

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 SprayMaster Winterizer Fluid.

To add SprayMaster Winterizer Fluid to 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 entire solution system, including optional devices (eductor and fence row nozzle(s)). Operate pressure valve in both bypass and tank rinse positions.
