21.Set the throttle lever to the idle position after closing the chemical valve if the sprayer is not to be used for more than one or two minutes. However, do not allow the engine to idle for a prolonged period (see point 14 above).

22.To stop the engine, move the throttle lever to the fully closed position, and turn off the switch.

23.The entire sprayer, including the AU8000 sprayhead, must be thoroughly cleaned after use. If ULV chemicals have been used, they must be removed with water or a suitable solvent such as kerosene.
