Required Maintenance
Prevention of mechanical failure is the goal of any good maintenance schedule. The
secret to preventing unwanted down time is to adhere to a maintenance schedule
suited to the way you use the equipment. Your maintenance schedule should include
the following minimum requirements:
ONLY perform maintenance when the machine is shut down with the
battery removed and is in a non-loaded condition. This means that no
water is being pumped through the reel, all water pressure has been
appropriately bled, and all mechanical tension has been released from the
hose rewind system.
Each Use
Maintenance Item Figure Procedure
Visually inspect
equipment
Walk around the unit and inspect for loose, missing or
damaged items. Replace missing or damaged items
and tighten loosened items.
Lubricate the following Figure 39

Indexer chain
 Gear box

Wheel axles on main chassis

All grease points
Maintain tire pressure
Using a tire pressure gauge, check the pressure of each
tire and add or remove air to achieve the manufacturer’s
recommended pressure posted on the tire sidewall.
DO NOT LOWER TIRE PRESSURE BELOW
THE RECOMMENDED LEVEL. A lower
pressure than the recommended pressure
could result in the tire separating from the
rim.
Check battery level
Check battery level to ensure there is enough charge to
complete the required cycles.
