During our Thanksgiving family in Illinois to visit, my husband and I anhydrous farmers in Iowa and Illinois corn stalks crushing balls, made Arar in the fall and execution of the tanks seen through fields.
Winter equipment during the last growing season is so important after harvest. the information in sprayers were for weed control for winter presents the following Nebraska Education Association case.
It is a good practice to avoid the sprayers to clean after each use chemical contamination and tank training.
A final cleaning at the end of the season is so important before putting the syringe for the winter. This applies to any type of spray - backpack, Mountain retreat.
First wash the inside.
Proper cleaning requires knowledge of pesticides used. Each applicator keeps a record of sprayed pesticides.
Check product label to begin the cleaning process and personal protective equipment on the product label (PPE) use. Then, the instructions for cleaning and maintenance of the manufacturer.
Collecting the flushing water, which may contain pesticide residues from the system and prepared according to label instructions.
an external spray cleaning is important if a pesticide has been spilled in the tank and waste. Rinse the equipment with clean water and scrub with a bristle all parts of the sprayer with visible brush deposits that have accumulated over time.
If there is a large or one that is in a spray truck bed, do not forget to clean the cabin and throwing all the garbage that have accumulated during the main application. Trash can attract rodents and we all know the damage they can do.
Finally cleared, it's time to clean the system.
Check the list of "recommended selected cleaning products for herbicides" on pages 61 to 64 in the brush guide in 2017th
These cleaners neutralize and pesticide residues, mineral deposits and oxide, remove, and a protective film can prevent corrosion. the detergent for several minutes to flushes the sprayer twice with clear water after circulation.
Remove, clean with soap and water and all of the nozzles and completely dry sieve.
The next step is a thorough inspection of the system. This process can be tedious, but it will take time and money in the long run.
Inspecting tanks, hoses, boom, pump, pressure gauges, valves, nozzles and screen. Each nozzle is different, so enters a fine tooth comb determine along which must be repaired.
Write down everything that needs to be replaced, service and repair work is carried out. Once you have a list, make patches.
Maintenance is important, the size or the cost of a sprayer.
Be sure to follow the manufacturer's maintenance instructions, which may include the addition of a small amount of RV or car antifreeze, with a little oil and let the pump run for four or five times to coat all internal surfaces or by a corrosion inhibitor radiators to prevent in the pump inlet and the outlet, using corrosion.
Drain and replace the final transmission, check the tires, remove the field of computer and stores them in a climate-controlled area. Other parts removed for storage include nozzles, filters, tips, check valves, pressure gauge and screen.
Some people put nozzles and filters in a field of light oil, while others stored in a dry place that does not cause corrosion or freezing. Each method is good, but refer to the manufacturer's instructions.
It is best to store the sprayer in a drying building humidity causes corrosion and rust and prevent UV-rays degrade the spray tank may rubber parts and weaken. If you need to store an aerosol outdoors in winter, to remove the pipe and wipe off excess oil on the outer surfaces.
Spraying equipment must be placed in the blocks of the rack shaft or flat spots to be avoided in the tires.
Caring for a sprayer saves time and money now next spring, when it's time to spray. Proper maintenance will also help the resale value of the equipment retained.
