Check the oil level to make sure it is up to the plug hole
in the gear box. If the lubricant level is low, add enough
SAE 80-90 weight gear lube to raise the level up to the
hole. The gear box capacity is 207 ml (7 oz).

Checking the Nozzle
Service Interval:
Before each use or daily
Checking the Nozzle Clamp
Check the nozzle clamp (Figure 26) daily to assure it is tight.
If the nozzle is dragged over obstacles or through low areas in
the terrain it could be knocked loose from the clamp. Tighten
the clamp fasteners to maintain a gap of 1.3 cm (.50 inch).
Note:
The nozzle must rotate freely when moved by hand.

Adjusting the Nozzle Belt
Service Interval:
After the first 8 hours
Every 50 hours
If the belt slips when changing the direction of the nozzle, an
adjustment to the belt is required.
1.
Check the tension by depressing the belt, at the center
of the longest span, with 30 N-m. (22 lb) of force
(Figure 28). The belt should deflect 4.8 mm (.19 inch).
If the deflection is incorrect, proceed to the next step.
If it is correct, continue operation.
