Description

Driving a dirty sprayer on public roads and highways may violate
state and county health codes in some states. A clean sprayer
drops nothing on the roads and highways. Field cleaning of the
sprayer from one job to the next is a good business practice and
insures happy customers. Cleaning a sprayer in town requires
containment of the spray materials to prevent contamination of local
water supplies.

Start-up and Maintenance

Before Starting Up

• Check that the oil is at the correct level using the Dipstick,

topping off if necessary (See Figure 1). Use a nondetergent,
SAE 30 weight oil.

Unloader Valve Safety Information

• Maximum pressure is set at the factory and cannot be adjusted to

a higher pressure.

• Change oil after 40 hours of break-in operation. Thereafter,

change the oil every year or 500 hours, whichever comes first.
