Spray System Maintenance
The Z-Spray has both a granular spreader system as well as a liquid spray system.
Maintaining these two systems will ensure you years of use, proper calibration and limit
premature wear.
The spray system has a liquid storage tank of 20 gallons that can disperse a host of liquid
and/or wettable powder. To get maximum life and performance out of the spray system, it
is recommended that the tank, nozzles and hoses be flushed of all products after each use.
Storing product in system for an extended time may cause build up in hoses, premature
cracking on hoses, creating leaks in the hoses, clogged nozzles and filters, and a host of
other potential liquid system challenges (depending on your water source, not draining
the water out of the system and storing the Z-Spray dry can create algae build up).
Make sure that both In-line filter screen and nozzle tip screens are checked daily and
cleaned if needed. Clogged filters can lead to improper liquid dispersal and will create
inaccurate spray rates.
Keep hose reel valve in closed position when not in use. This will prevent the boom
nozzles from dripping due to pressure build-up in the coil hose.
Check 5 psi check ball screens daily. Build up on screen will create clogging and
inaccurate spray rates. Clogged screens can damage or hinder screens from working
properly.
Check spray system In-line filter rubber seal daily. Improper seal placement, missing seal
or filter not tightened down can create lose in pump pressure.
Check spray tips daily for any clogging of materials or foreign objects.
Clean out tank on daily basis for proper storing.
