CAUTION
As the engine continues to run, the coolant will
become hot and pressurized. If you open the

spray out and severely burn you or bystanders.
• Allow the engine to cool for at least 15
minutes before opening the radiator cap.
The radiator cap must be cool to the touch.
• Wear protective clothing and avoid contact
with hot coolant as you open the radiator
cap.

level to the sealing surface of the cap and tighten the
cap.
12. Open the recovery bottle cap and fill with coolant to
the Cold position after you tighten the radiator cap.
13. Check the coolant levels after several shut down and
start up cycles and top off the coolant as needed.

Checking the Brakes

Service Interval: Before each use or daily
Before starting the sprayer, lightly press the brake pedal. If
the pedal travels more than 2.5 cm (1 inch) before you feel
resistance, adjust the brakes; refer to Adjusting the Brakes
(page 45).
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.

Adjusting the Brakes

more than 2.5 cm (1 inch) before you feel resistance, adjust
the brakes.
