Checking the Hydraulic Fluid

Important
Be very careful not to get dirt or other
contaminants into the opening when checking the oil.
4. Check the oil level by looking into the opening.
The oil should be 2 inches (5 cm) below the bottom of
the filler neck.
5. If the oil is low, fill the tank with Mobil DTE 15M
hydraulic fluid or equivalent.
6. Install and secure the hydraulic oil tank cap.

Checking the Brakes

Before starting the sprayer, lightly press the brake pedal. If
the pedal travels more than 1 inch (2.5 cm) before you feel
resistance, adjust the brakes; refer to Adjusting the Brakes
on page 37.
Warning
If you operate the sprayer with poorly adjusted or
worn brakes, you could lose control of the sprayer,
resulting in serious injury or death to you or
bystanders.
Always check the brakes before operating the
sprayer and keep them properly adjusted and
repaired.
