Brake Maintenance
Adjusting the Brakes
If the brake pedal travels more than 2.5 cm (1 inch) before
you feel resistance, adjust the brakes as follows:
1. Position the sprayer on a level surface, stop the pump,
stop the engine, and remove the key from the starter
switch.
2. Set the parking brake.
3. Put the blocks under the wheels to prevent the machine
from rolling.
4. Release the parking brake.
5. Loosen the front nuts on the brake cables under the
front end of the sprayer

6. Tighten the rear nuts equally until the brake pedal
moves between 1 to 2 cm (1/2 to 1 inch) before you
feel resistance
(Figure
Important: Ensure that you tighten both rear
nuts equally so that the threaded ends of the brake
cables in front of the front nuts are the same
length.
7. Tighten the front nuts.

Belt Maintenance
Servicing the Alternator Belt
Service Interval: After the first 8 hours
Every 100 hours
Check the condition and tension of the alternator/cooling
fan belt. Replace the belt as necessary.
1. Position the sprayer on a level surface, set the parking
brake, stop the pump, stop the engine, and remove the
key from the starter switch.
2. Check the tension by depressing the belt midway
between the alternator and the crankshaft pulleys with
10 kg (22 lb) of force.
Note: The belt should deflect 10 to 12 mm (0.39 to
0.47 inches). If the deflection is not correct, go to 3.
If it is correct, you may skip the remainder of this
procedure and resume operating the sprayer.
3. Loosen the bolts that secure the brace to the engine
and the bolt that secures the alternator to the brace
(Figure
69).

2. Brace
4. Insert a pry bar between the alternator and the engine
and carefully pry on the alternator outward.
5. When you achieve the proper tension, tighten the
alternator and the bolts to secure the adjustment.
6. Tighten the locknut to secure the adjustment.
