Frost protection
Frost protection
It is most important that all the
components on the sprayer be protected from damage caused by frost.
It is extremely difficult with
today's modern sprayers and complicated plumbing systems to drain
every last drop of water from the sprayer without disconnecting a
number of hoses. For this reason the most practical method of frost
protection, assuming you cannot store the sprayer in a frost
protected building, is to use motor vehicle anti-freeze.
1) Wash out the sprayer thoroughly
as on previous page and drain as much water out as possible.
2) Pour 10 litres of antifreeze and
20 litres of water into the tank.
3) Run the pump and circulate the
mixture around the system, observing the notes on the previous page
about flushing all the hoses through (Inductor, can-wash, agitator etc.)
4) Switch the sprayer on and spray the mix out through the spray lines to protect the filters, spray lines and nozzle bodies.
5) Before using the sprayer again flush the antifreeze out of the system with clean water.

Agitator The Booster agitator in the tank is fitted with two nozzles which may need cleaning periodically To remove the nozzles for cleaning, firstly disconnect the hose connection B on the right.
Then slacken the cap A . The Agitator pipe assembly can then be pulled up to the top of the tank and the nozzles removed.
