What happens here

If you are storing the sprayer, especially in conditions where temperatures may drop below freezing or to protect against corrosion, prepare an antifreeze solution. Empty your 'dirty water' bucket and fill it with a 50/50 mixture of clean water and auto or RV antifreeze. Place the sprayer's intake hose into this antifreeze mixture. Engage the sprayer and first run the antifreeze through the spray gun until you see the antifreeze solution visibly coming out. Then, switch to running the antifreeze through the prime tube until the solution is visible there as well. This ensures all internal components are protected.

Goal: For optimal storage, especially in cold climates or to prevent corrosion, flush the sprayer with an antifreeze solution through both the gun and the prime tube.

this thing up right here, once I get this thing all clean, power shut off, I got another bucket right here. I actually like running antifreeze into my machine. And up here in the winter time, it gets below freezing. I don't want my machine to freeze. So, I run antifreeze. But it also has an anti-corrosive. So, in the summertime, we actually run antifreeze in our machines also. And we just dilute it 50/50. And so, I got antifreeze right here. I'm just going to drop my bucket. I took and emptied my dirty water out. Put some clean water in. And my antifreeze is right here now. So, I'm just going to drop this into my antifreeze. Put that in there. And then I'm going to run the antifreeze so it gets comes out the gun. And then I'm going to run it through my prime tube. [Music] [Laughter] I'm going to run some through my prime tube. Once I see the antifreeze coming through, it's all good to go. That's the simple process of how you go about
