Depends what's in it. If it's just water, there should be a drain in the bottom of the tank. Just let it out, unhook the lines at the pump and let them drain out, and turn the pump over by hand to get as much out as you can. You'll never get it drained completely so unless you can keep it somewhere warm you'll have to winterize it. Just use some RV antifreeze in the bottom of the tank once you get it hooked back up again and run the sprayer until you see the colouring come out of the nozzles. I like to take the nozzles and filters all off and keep them inside somewhere.

If you still have chemical in it you'll have to dilute it down and spray it somewhere before you rinse it and drain it.
