Performing the Pre-Starting
Checks
Check the following items each time you begin using
the sprayer for the day:
•
Check the tire pressure.
Note:
These tires are different than car tires; they
require less pressure to minimize turf compaction
and damage.
•
Check all fluid levels and add the appropriate
amount of specified fluids, if any are found to be
low.
•
Check the brake pedal operation.
•
Check to see that the lights are working.
•
Turn the steering wheel to the left and right to
check steering response.
•
Check for oil leaks, loose parts, and any other
noticeable malfunctions. Make sure that the
engine is off and all moving parts have stopped
before checking for oil leaks, loose parts, and
other malfunctions.
If any of the above items are not correct, notify your
mechanic or check with your supervisor before taking
the sprayer out for the day. Your supervisor may want
you to check other items on a daily basis, so ask what
your responsibilities are.
