21. Set the throttle lever to the idle position after closing the chemical valve if the sprayer
is not to be used for more than one or two minutes. However, do not allow the engine
to idle for a prolonged period (see point 14 above).
22. To stop the engine, move the throttle lever to the fully closed position, and turn off the
switch.
23. The entire sprayer, including the AU8000 sprayhead, must be thoroughly cleaned
after use. If ULV chemicals have been used, they must be removed with water or a

have been used. Before cleaning the outside of the sprayer, the tank, hoses and
sprayhead must be flushed out by spraying about 2 litres of water or solvent from the
mistblower.
