Service Interval: Every 50 hours
1.
Stop engine, wait for all moving parts to stop,
and remove key. Engage parking brake.

3.
Check nozzle strainers and in-line strainers.
4.
Replace as needed.
Check In-line Filter
Periodically check the in-line filter for any debris in
the screen. If debris is present, this can create erratic
pressure spikes and/or not allow the proper flow
through system. After clearing any debris, ensure that
gasket remains intact and tighten in-line filter cap (if
not installed properly, this will allow air to get in the
system and system will lose or not create pressure).
