(see Mounting Hardware in Section 7) and tighten
as required (see Torque Specs in Section 4).
2. Check for loose fasteners and hardware on the
machine and spraybar. Tighten as required.
3. Check for any loose components. Tighten, secure
or adjust as required.
4. Check the condition of all hydraulic lines, air lines,
couplers, ttings, connections and asphalt supply
lines. Reroute, repair or replace any parts that are
loose or damaged.

Spraybar Inspection
1. Check for loose fasteners and hardware on the
machine and spraybar. Tighten as required, (see
Torque Specs in Section 4).

lines, couplers, ttings and connections. Reroute,
adjust, repair or replace any parts that are loose or
damaged.
3. Check the angle of the spraybar valves using the
Valve Alignment Tool supplied with the machine.
Valves set at the wrong angle will not open
completely or will leak.
4. Check the angle of each nozzle using the Nozzle
Alignment Wrench supplied with the machine. Be
sure that they are all set at the same angle.
Functional Check
Before starting the day’s work, perform a functional
check on each system and major component to insure
that each is functioning properly. Use two people - one
person in the truck cab to run the engine and Maximizer
2B controls, and one person at the appropriate check
point.
Keep safety in mind and make sure
that personnel, vehicles, and property are clear
of the distributor during the functional check.
