5.8 WINTER STORAGE OF THE SPRAYER
• The sprayer must be clean before winter storage.
• Rinse the entire circuit thoroughly (with the cleaning
product)
( 4.5, page 17 ) .
• Drain the tank.
• Rinse with clean water.
• Completely drain the uid circuit, making sure that
the pump is not operated for too long without water
(2 minutes maximum).
• Protect from frost by adding the necessary quantity
of anti-freeze to provide the level of protection
required.
• When adding anti-freeze, take into consideration
the residual volume in the circuit pipework.
• Run the pump at idling speed.
• Operate all valves in all positions, so as to protect
the pump valves, regulator, lters and pipes.
• Open the sprayer to let anti-freeze into the boom.
When the anti-freeze reaches the nozzles, stop
spraying and disengage the power take-off.
• Check the level of protection using an anti-freeze
tester, by taking a sample and adjusting the
dosage, if necessary.
• Grease or oil metal parts and moving parts where
rust can occur.
• Remove oxidation from contacts on electrical
connectors (BERTHOUD reference 765.065,
aerosol KF F2).
• Clean the outside of the equipment
(
5.4, page 19), re-paint any bare mechanical
parts (BERTHOUD reference 769.077 for the
blue paint aerosol or 778.890 for the green paint
aerosol).
• Store the equipment out of the sun and sheltered
from bad weather on at, rm ground.
