MAINTAINING THE HYDRAULIC
SYSTEM
DAILY MAINTENANCE
Two daily procedures are required for routine operator
maintenance on this unit:
-Lubricating the upper packing.
-Cleaning the rock catcher.
Lubricating the Uper Packings
-Clean out the paint that has seeped past the upper
packings into the packing oil reservoir above the fluid
section.
-Fill the packing oil reservoir 1/2 full with Piston Lube
supplied by the factory. This will extend packing life.
NOTE: Do not over -fill the reservoir so that it overflows
and drips into the paint.

Use of MBP Hydraulic Fluid is mandatory in the
hydraulic system. Do not use any other hydraulic
fluid. Use of any other hydraulic fluid may seriously
damage the hydraulic system and will void the
warranty.
1- Check the hydraulic fluid daily. It should be at the ‘’Full’’mark
on the dipstick. If it is low, add only MBP Hydraulic Fluid.
Never add or change hydraulic fluid except in a clean,
dust-free area. Contamination of the hydraulic fluid will
shorten hydraulic pump life and may void warranty.
2- Change the hydraulic fluid every twelve months. Drain the
old fluid from the tank. Start the unit at just enough pressure
to operate the fluid section. Run the unit at this low pressure
for at least 5 minutes. This removes air from the system.
Check the fluid level after this procedure.
3- The hydraulic system has an external, replaceable hydraulic
filter. Change the filter every twelve months.
BASIC ENGINE MAINTENANCE
(GAS ENGINE)
-For detailed engine maintenance and technical specifications
refer to the separate gasoline engine manual.
-All service to the engine should be performed by an authorized
Honda Power Equipment dealer.
Daily
-Check engine oil level, and fill as necessary.
-Check gasoline level, and fill as necessary.
W A R N I N G
Always follow the fueling procedure outlined earlier
in this manual.
First 20 Hours
1º Change engine oil.
Every 100 Hours
1º Change engine oil.
2º Clean the sediment cup.
3 ºClean and re-gad the spark plug.
4º Clean the spark arrestor.
Weekly
Remove the air filter cover and clean the element. In very
dusty environments, check the filter daily. Replace the element
as needed. Replacement elements can be purchased from your
local Honda dealer.
Engine Operation and Service
1º Clean and oil air filter pad on gasoline engine every 25 hours
or once weekly. Do not permit the air intake screen around
the fly wheel of the gas engine to load up with paint or trash.
Clean it regularly. The service life and efficiency of the gas
engine model depends upon keeping the gasoline engine
running properly. Change the oil in the engine every 100
hours. Failure to observe this may result in engine
overheating. Consult the engine manufacturer’s service
manual provided.
2º To conserve fuel, service life, and efficiency of the unit,
always operate the gasoline engine at the lowest RPM at
which it runs smoothly without laboring and delivers the
amount required for the particular painting operation. Higher
RPM does not produce higher working pressure. The
gasoline engine is connected to the hydraulic pump by a pulley
combination designed to produce full paint delivery of 1.2
GPM at maximum RPM
3º The warranty on gasoline engines or electric motors is limited
to the original manufacturer
