Lubrication
To ensure maximum life and performance
from the sprayer, grease points should be
periodically re-lubricated according to the
maintenance schedule. These include the axle
hubs, leaf spring pivots and boom hinges.
A quality
multi purpose grease
should be
used when lubricating your equipment.
An
SAE 15W40 engine oil
should be used in
the diaphragm pump.
Maintenance
To ensure maximum life and performance from
the sprayer, follow the maintenance schedule
set out below:
Corrosion Prevention
To ensure maximum life and performance from
the sprayer, G15 anti-corrosion spray has been
applied at the time of manufacture. It is used
on all fasteners such as bolts, nuts, washers
and any zinc plated components.
G15 anti-corrosion spray should also be
applied to the sprayer pre and post season.
The amount of corrosion protection necessary
will ultimately depend on local and operating
conditions.
