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 59).

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
Service Interval: Every 200 hours—Check the parking
brake.
1. Loosen the set screw securing the knob to the parking
brake lever (Figure 60).
