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.

1. Position the sprayer on a level surface, set the
parking brake, stop the pump, stop the engine,
and remove the ignition key.
2. The fluid level should be up to the Full line on
the reservoir (Figure 63).

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

The brakes are a critical safety component of the
sprayer. Inspect them as follows every 100 hours:
• 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

Check the parking brake adjustment every 200
hours.
1. Loosen the set screw securing the knob to the
parking brake lever (Figure 64).
