Storage

Preparethe sprayer for end-of-season storage by running RV antifreeze through the system. This will keep internal parts lubricated, protect against corrosion, and keep the unit from freezing.

Protect the sprayer from freezing during storage by following the instructions below.

Preparing for storage:

1. Add antifreeze

2. Spray briefly

Turn on the pump motor and squeeze the gun trigger briefly until fluid sprays.
