Clean and Winterize Your Sprayer Before Storing
Nov 14, 2011 - Don’t let routine concerns wait until spring, address them now when time is on your side. Cleaning and winterizing your sprayer is one of the most critical procedures that need to be done at the end of each spraying season. If things are not properly cleaned and maintained the start to each year will be trying.
Proper cleaning of the liquid system will insure that all residue is removed. Chemicals and fertilizer in the spray system can impregnate into hoses and soft parts. This can increase the chances of cross contamination and leave residue that can flake off plugging filters and tips. This can also increase wear in the solution pump and flow meter.
Winterizing the solution system will also ensure an easy start in the spring. This will prevent broken lines, fittings and other key components in the solution system.
One key thing that should be done before storing the machine each winter is a quick walk around making notes of any trouble areas on the machine, cracked hoses, cracks in the welds or any worn parts. Preventive maintenance will go a long way for a seamless startup in the spring.
