Brake Maintenance

Checking the Brake Fluid

The brake fluid reservoir is shipped from the factory
filled with DOT 3 brake fluid. Check the level before
starting the engine each day.

brake, stop the pump, stop the engine, and remove
the ignition key.

3. If the fluid level is low, clean the area around the
reservoir cap, remove the cap, and fill the reservoir
to the proper level. Do not overfill.

Inspecting the Brakes

Service Interval: Every 100 hours
The brakes are a critical safety component of the sprayer.
Inspect them as follows:
• Inspect the brake shoes for wear or damage. If the
lining (brake pad) thickness is less than 1/16 inch
(1.6 mm), replace the brake shoes.
• Inspect the backing plate and other components
for signs of excessive wear or deformation. If
any deformation is found, replace the appropriate
components.

Adjusting the Parking Brake
