Liquid Tank Cleaner
Available exclusively from Tractor Supply Co.
Remove residue. Avoid cross contamination.
Reduce or eliminate residues from pesticides in mix tanks by thorough cleaning with Liquid Tank Cleaner from one tank mix to the next. Extend the lifetime of seals and other soft parts in equipment and lines. Use with all active ingredients. Tank Cleaner has an extremely alkaline pH, which helps neutralize acid active ingredients more efficiently and works well with sulfonylurea herbicides, both of which are particularly stubborn when being cleaned from a tank.

In all working parts of your spray equipment.

When swithcing chemicals.
How to use:
- Add 1/2 of the water needed based on the tank size
- Dissolve amount of Spray Tank Cleaner needed to clean tank as shown by Use Rate chart

- Close valve to spray boom
- Agitate vigorously
- Open bypass valve and circulate solution through spraying system for 15 minutes
- Use hose or hand sprayer to thoroughly wash all internal tank parts
- Open spray boom valve and allow solution to flow through entire spray boom as well as nozzles
- Refill tank with water to the same rate as previously used with Spray Tank Cleaner to recirculate for 10 minutes and then flush through spray boom and nozzles. If changing chemicals, a second rinse is recommended with 25 gallons of water.

EXTRA PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE FOLLOWED AFTER USING 2,4-D OR SIMILAR MATERIALS.
Hoses, rubber connections, pump and hand gun packing are more likely to retain 2,4-D than tank, boom or metal parts, equal attention should be given to the flushing of these. Many authorities recommend renewal of soft parts after using 2,4-D. However, if these are in good condition, Spray Tank Cleaner will clean them.
- Flush complete rig with plain water, inside and out
- Use as directed on label except allow Spray Tank Cleaner to remain in rig and hoses overnight
- Take liberal sample of second rinse from each section of boom and hand gun
- Sprinkle these samples on particularly susceptible plants such as tomato, cotton, etc. to determine if cleaning was sufficient. Period required to show 2,4-D varies with tem-perature and humidity. 48 hours is usually enough
- If tests show 2,4-D present replace hoses, pump packing, rubber connections, etc. and repeat entire process including test.
Precautions:
Wash hands thoroughly after handling. Wear eye protection.
