Breaking in a New Sprayer
To provide proper performance and long sprayer life,
follow these guidelines for the first 100 operating
hours:
•
Check the fluid and engine-oil levels regularly
and be alert for indications of overheating in any
component of the sprayer.
•
After filling the tank, check the tank straps for any
play. Tighten as necessary.
•
After starting a cold engine, let it warm up for about
15 seconds before accelerating.
•
Avoid hard-braking situations for the first several
hours of new sprayer break-in operation. New
brake linings may not be at optimum performance
until several hours of use has caused the brakes
to become burnished (broken-in).
•
Avoid racing the engine.
•
Refer to the
Maintenance (page 48)
section for
any special, low-hour checks.
Operating the Sprayer
To operate the Multi Pro
®
Sprayer, first fill the spray
tank, apply the solution to the work area, and finally
clean the tank and spray system. It is important that
you complete all 3 of these steps in succession to
avoid damaging the sprayer. For example, do not
mix and add chemicals in the spray tank at night and
then spray in the morning. This leads to separation of
the chemicals and possible damage to the sprayer
components.
