Cleaning
• Drain Tank and Rinse: Rinse all liquid out of the tank. When flushing the sprayer, pay
attention to where the chemical will run. Always clean in an area that will not contaminate
water supplies, streams or crops.
• Pressure Wash Inside Tank: After draining the tank, rinse the inside by spraying clean
water with a pressure washer.
• Add Clean Water: It’s now time to shut the pump off and fill the tank with clean water.
• Flush Clean Water Through System: Turn the pump on and spray the clean water through
the boom and hand lance.
• Add Cleaning Solution and Water: Add the recommended cleaning solution to the tank
of water. To mix, run the agitator inside the sprayer. Operate for 5-10 minutes to mix the
cleaning solution with the water.
• Let Sprayer Sit For 8 Hours: With the water and cleaning solution left in the sprayer tank,
let it sit for about eight hours. This will allow the solution to remove any herbicide from the
residues inside the tank.
• Clean Nozzles, Screens, and Filters: It’s now time to rinse all nozzles, screens and filters.
To clean thoroughly, put them in a bucket of cleaning agent and water.
• Rinse Entire System with Water: When all nozzles, etc. are back in place, give the entire
system a complete rinse to ensure all cleaning solution is flushed through the unit.
