What is the maximum duration for flushing the motor during decontamination?

The maximum duration for flushing the motor during decontamination is 90 seconds. This timeframe is established based on guidelines that ensure effective cleaning without causing damage to the equipment or motor. Flushing for this duration helps ensure that contaminants, like aquatic invasive species or their larvae, are significantly reduced or eliminated, thus protecting local ecosystems.

The specific limit of 90 seconds has been chosen to balance thoroughness and safety, ensuring that the motor receives adequate attention during the decontamination process without unnecessary expenditure of time. Understanding the importance of this time limit helps ensure compliance with best practices in invasive species prevention efforts in Wyoming.
