PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
Preventive maintenance is most important to
assure long life of the Spray System. The
following maintenance procedures should be
followed on a regular basis:
Flush the entire spraying system after each use.
Failure to clean the system can result in a
chemical residue which can plug the Hoses and/
or Nozzle Tips.
Wash spray nozzles thoroughly with water. Using
compressed air, blow out orifice, clean and dry.
If orifice remains clogged, clean it with a soft
bristled brush. Never use a metal object.
SUCTION STRAINER: Remove fork in red
elbow at top of the tank. (See FIG. 53) Pull elbow
out of filter housing. Remove the strainer (See
FIG. 54) and clean daily when spraying wettable
powders; after every 50 hours when using liquid
chemical.

Check all of the nozzles frequently to spot any
inconsistencies in the spray pattern. Worn nozzle
orifices which allow a greater volume of spray
material to flow through the nozzle can cause an
expensive loss in chemical and/or turf damage.
