This Quick tip is only a guide, always refer to your operator manuals.  Read through all instructions and 
be sure you have all the required tools to safely perform each procedure before you begin. 

 

Add a seafaoam to gasoline in fuel tank.  This will help 
clean out the fuel system while performing service. 

 

Add a few gallons of clean water to spray tanks 

 

Clear any fertilizer and debris off of the unit with a 
blower or pressurized air hose. Key areas include: 

a.

 

Around the axle (Remove the front hood) (FIGURE 1) 

b.

 

Around and under the engine 

c.

 

Inside and under the hopper (Move hopper gate 
open and closed while cleaning) 

d.

Clean with water when necessary.  Blow off the unit after cleaning. 

a.

 

Variable speed pulley – Clean the pulley with water as you

DO 

NOT USE A LUBRICANT ON THE PULLEY

.  Blow the water out 

of the pulley with air when done cleaning. (FIGURE 2) 

 

Clean and inspect your trim, broadcast, and wand spray nozzles.    

(

Do not use metal objects to clean the nozzles as it can damage the tip 

and affect your spray pattern

.)

 

 

Check you spray system filter – Turn the ball valve to off and remove 
your filter.  Rinse gently with clean water or replace as necessary.  
Replace the filter and turn the ball valve back to on. (FIGURE 3) 

 

Check all cables for smooth function (hopper gate, variable speed, 
throttle, and trim guard cable) 

 

Check air pressure in tires and inflate slightly above marked PSI on 
tire if storing. 

 

Grease all grease fittings on the machine 
A.

 

2 Front Wheel fittings (Models prior to 2011

B.

 

2 Front wheel spindles (All model years will have these fittings)  

C.

 

1 Front wheel pivot (All model years will have these fittings)  

D.

 

1 Idler arm for drive belt tensioner pulley (Models prior to 2015

 

Check Steering cable tension. Adjust both sides evenly if needed. 

(See Service Quick Tip – Steering Cable Adjustment – pg. 3-4)

 

 

Check and clean your engine air filter.  To loosen debris, gently tap the filter on a hard surface.  
If excessively dirty replace the filter.
