3.1 Start Up/Shutdown Introduction
Before operating the Paint Hog, check the fluid
levels in the truck engine, transmission, air com-
pressor and hydraulic system. A thorough un-
derstanding of the component systems and their
operation is essential to the proper operation.
Never allow inexperienced and untrained person-
nel to operate the Paint Hog.
This manual and the associated manufacturers’
information is provided to enhance your knowl-
edge of this equipment. Make sure you have read
them carefully and understand the truck and all
components and systems in theory and operation.
To make operation as safe and productive as pos-
sible, it is essential to conduct a thorough pre-start
inspection before operating the machine. You
should walk around the unit and visually inspect
truck chassis and all paint system components for
obvious signs of leaks, wear and deterioration.
The inspection should be conducted in an orderly
and consistent fashion to ensure all critical points
are inspected each time. Do not operate the unit
until all questionable components are repaired or
replaced.
The startup and shutdown procedures described in
this section are for a typical system. This informa-
tion is provided as a general guide and overview
of the process for educational purposes. The exact
procedure for your truck may be different, depend -
ing on the chassis and the options selected.
