LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE
5-11
Check Hydraulic Fluid Level
IMPORTANT: The booms must be folded and
in the transport position for an accurate
hydraulic fluid level reading.
The hydraulic fluid reservoir is located on the
right side of the vehicle and a sight glass (1)
indicates the hydraulic fluid level.
IMPORTANT: Use only Lucas Universal
Hydraulic Fluid for the Apache Sprayer
hydraulic system.
If no fluid is visible in the sight glass, remove
the fill cap (2) and add Lucas Universal
Hydraulic Fluid until fluid is visible in the bot-
tom of the sight glass.
NOTE: Do not fill more than 3/4 up on the
sight glass.
Check A/C Compressor Belt
Inspect
Check the A/C compressor belt (1) for wear
and damage. Replace as necessary.
Check the belt deflection at a point mid-way
between two pulleys. The correct belt deflec-
tion is 3/4” to 1”. If the deflection is greater
than one inch, adjust the belt.
Replace
To remove the compressor belt, loosen the
mounting and adjusting hardware (2). Turn
the adjustment screw (3) counter-clockwise
until the belt can be removed.
To install the new compressor belt, turn the
adjustment screw (3) clockwise until the belt
deflection is 3/4” to 1”. Tighten the mounting
and adjusting hardware (2).
Adjust
To adjust the A/C compressor belt, loosen
the mounting and adjusting hardware (2).
Turn the adjusting screw (3) clockwise to
tighten the belt and counter-clockwise to
loosen. The correct belt deflection is 3/4” to
1”. When adjustment is complete, tighten the
mounting and adjusting hardware (2).
