Brake Maintenance
Adjusting the Brakes
If the brake pedal travels more than 2.5 cm (1 inch)
before you feel resistance, adjust the brakes as
follows:
1. Position the sprayer on a level surface, stop the
pump, stop the engine, and remove the key from
the starter switch.
2. Set the parking brake.
3. Put blocks under the wheels to prevent the
machine from rolling.
4. Release the parking brake.
5. Loosen the front nuts on the brake cables under
the front end of the sprayer (
Figure 84 ).

6. Tighten the rear nuts equally until the brake
pedal moves between 1 to 2 cm (1/2 to 1 inch)
before you feel resistance (
Figure 84 ).
Important:
Ensure that you tighten both
rear nuts equally so that the threaded ends
of the brake cables in front of the front nuts
are the same length.
7. Tighten the front nuts.
Belt Maintenance
Servicing the Alternator
Belt
Service Interval: After the first 8 hours
Every 100 hours
Check the condition and tension of the
alternator/cooling fan belt. Replace the belt
as necessary.
1. Position the sprayer on a level surface, set the
parking brake, stop the pump, stop the engine,
and remove the key from the starter switch.
2. Check the tension by depressing the belt midway
between the alternator and the crankshaft
pulleys with 10 kg (22 lb) of force.
Note:
The belt should deflect 10 to 12 mm
(0.39 to 0.47 inches). If the deflection is not
correct, go to
3 . If it is correct, you may skip
the remainder of this procedure and resume
operating the sprayer.
3. Loosen the bolts that secure the brace to the
engine and the bolt that secures the alternator
to the brace (
Figure 85 ).
