Description of Operation

Operating the 3-Position Switch for a Timed Rinse

Pressing the 3-position switch UP starts a timed rinse. The pump runs for 110 seconds and it pumps approximately 1/3 of the rinse tank contents into the main tank. During this time the switch stays in the up position.

Note: If you are operating a 2015 and before machine, the light on the 3-position switch will illuminate to indicate that the pump is running.

After 110 seconds, the pump stops running.

Note: If you are operating a 2015 and before machine, light on the 3-position switch shuts off to indicate that power to the pump is shut off.

The 3-position switch remains in the up position until you move it to the center or NEUTRAL position. When the switch is in the NEUTRAL position the power is not supplied to the pump and the rinse kit is OFF.

Note: If you are operating a 2015 and before machine, the light on the 3-position switch remains shut off in the NEUTRAL position.

Operating the 3-Position Switch for a Manually Controlled Rinse

Pressing the 3-position switch DOWN energizes a momentary switch. Power is supplied to the pump for only for the duration while the switch is held down.

Note: If you have a 2015 and before machine, the 3-position switch illuminates and the pump runs while you hold the switch in the DOWN position.

Release pressure and the 3-position switch moves to the NEUTRAL position. Power to the pump is shut off.

Note: If you have a 2015 and before machine, the light in the 3-position switch shuts off.

Filling the Tank

Park the machine on a level surface, engage the parking brake, shut off the sprayer pump, shut off the engine, and remove the key.

Remove the rinse tank cap, fill the tank with approximately 113 L (30 gallons) with clean water, and install the cap.

Important: The 113 L (30 gallon) rinse tank is only intended to be filled with clean water. The introduction of any other substance to the rinse tank can cause a safety hazard and/or damage the machine.

Using the Rinse Cycle

Once the rinse-tank pump has moved 38 L (10 US gallons) of water into the sprayer tank, the user can use the agitation switch at their disposal to put the clean water into the agitation loop. Once finished, the rinsate can be sprayed out of the boom nozzles or manually drained from tank. This allows the machine to move during the rinse processes.

  1. Turn on the rinse-tank pump by performing 1 of the following:

    • Press up 3-position switch for a timed rinse.

    • Press and hold down the 3-position switch for a desired duration.

  2. Once the rinse-tank pump has moved 38 L (10 US gallons) of water into the sprayer tank, use the agitation switch to circulate the clean water through the agitation loop.

  3. Pump the rinsate out of the sprayer tank as required by federal, state, and local regulations by performing 1 of the following:

    • Spray the rinsate through the booms until the sprayer tank is empty.

    • Draining the sprayer tank contents into a suitable container and disposing of the diluted solution as required by federal, state, or local regulations.

The rinse cycle can be repeated again as necessary for 2 more timed rinse cycles.
