We're gonna clean them real good take them apart inspect them. 00:14 Good time to decide maybe you need to replace those nozzles and tips and it's always good. It gives you a chance to see what 00:20 you're getting built up in. I use this pool skimmer basket and little screwdriver, but we'll take this pool skimmer 00:29 basket. I like it because I can take a water hose. And pressurize it and spray and get all clean. These nozzles real good get to debris out and then 00:39 they dry and it real good.

Remember open all in valves run 01:20 that antifreeze through every system on everything on these sprayers don't matter if you got a three-point hitch sprayer if you gotta 01:28 Hey you like we're running or any other support sprayer there. It's all plumbing. And then you need to protect it and it just makes 01:34 life a lot better next spring when you get to get out in the field and go back at it and plant that next crop.
