Sprayer Winterize Your Sprayer

[Ford850]

This is a reminder to all you Northerners. Don't forget to run some sort of antifreeze through your sprayer pump, tips, and wand before winter. It will save you parts and aggravation next spring. I use RV antifreeze, but I've heard of several other options.

Thats good advice for everyone. Even though we don't get as cold ... don't forget the pressure washer ..

I just drained my sprayer yesterday. Never thought of running antifreeze in it.

if you guys changed your radiator coolant, this will work as well- just save the old stuff and use that. best way to save the old coolant.

Yep, drained and flushed, blew out lines with air, removed and cleaned the filters and tips. Never have use any kind of "anti-freeze" in my 3pt sprayer. Parked the outfit in the shed ready for action next spring. Neighbors 500 gal spray rig gets the RV anti-freeze treatment in pump and lines.

I never used the RV stuff just windshield washer antifreeze.

Most of the farmers use windshield washer so they can just spray it on the
ground in the spring. Thanks for the reminder. I need to treat my power
washer.
