Brake Maintenance
Adjusting the Brakes
If the brake pedal travels more than 2.5 cm (1 inch)
before you feel resistance, adjust the brakes as
follows:
1.
Position the sprayer on a level surface, shut off
the spray pump, shut off the engine, and remove
the key.
2.
Engage the parking brake.
3.
Put blocks under the wheels to prevent the
machine from rolling.
4.
Release the parking brake.
5.
Loosen the front jam nuts on the brake cables
under the front end of the sprayer

6.
Tighten the rear jam nuts equally until the brake
pedal moves between 1 to 2 cm (1/2 to 1 inch)
before you feel resistance
Important:
Ensure that you tighten both
rear nuts equally so that the threaded ends
of the brake cables in front of the front nuts
are the same length.

Tighten the front jam nuts.

Belt Maintenance
Servicing the Alternator
Belt
Service Interval: After the first 8 hours
Every 100 hours
Check the condition and tension of the
alternator/cooling fan belt. Replace the belt
as necessary.
1.
Position the sprayer on a level surface, engage
the parking brake, shut off the spray pump, shut
off the engine, and remove the key.
2.
Check the alternator-belt tension by depressing
the belt midway between the alternator and the
crankshaft pulleys with 10 kg (22 lb) of force.
Note:
The belt should deflect 10 to 12 mm
(0.39 to 0.47 inches). If the belt deflection is too
much, go to step 3. If the belt tension is correct,
you may skip the remainder of this procedure
and resume operating the sprayer.
3.
Loosen the bolt at the pivot point of the
alternator; loosen the bolt that secures the
alternator to the slotted brace

4.
Insert a pry bar between the alternator and
the engine and carefully pry on the alternator
outward.
