BEFORE OPERATING
CHECK PLANETARY GEAR OIL
(Fig. 16)
Check oil if external leakage is noted. Use high
quality SAE 85W-140 wt. gear lube replacement.
Capacity of system is 16 oz.
1. With machine on level surface, position wheel
so check/drain plugs are at the 9 and 12 o'clock
position.
2. Remove the 9 o'clock positioned plug. Oil
should be to bottom of the hole.
3. If necessary add gear oil to the 12 o'clock hole
until oil begins to flow from the 9 o'clock hole.
4. Wipe surface clean and reinstall plugs.
5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 on opposite gear
assembly.
CHECK TORQUE OF WHEEL NUTS
IMPORTANT! After the "initial run-in"
(approximately one to two hours) check all the
MULTI PRO
®
5500 wheel fasteners for
tightness.
CHECK TIRE PRESSURE
Check tire pressure every 8 hours or daily to assure
proper levels. Maximum air pressure in both front
and rear tires is 18 p.s.i.
The air pressure needed is determined by the
payload carried. Once the desired pressure has
been ascertained, it is to be used and maintained
to insure the accuracy of the spraying system.
INSPECT TIRES
Check tire condition for wear or damage.
Operating accidents, such as hitting curbs, can
damage a tire or rim and also disrupt wheel
alignment, so inspect tire condition after any
accident.
WARNING
Failure to maintain proper torque could
result in failure or loss of wheel and may
result in personal injury.
Torque front wheel nuts to 55-65 ft-lb (75-
88N-m) and rear wheel nuts or bolts to
85-100 ft-lb (116-136 N-m) after 1-4 hours
of operation and every 200 hours
thereafter.
CHECK EMERGENCY/PARK BRAKE
Adjust the Emergency/Park Brake when there is
more than 1 inch of "free travel" of the Brake Pedal,
or if the Brake does not work effectively. "Free
travel" is the distance the Brake Pedal moves
before braking resistance is felt. To reduce "free
travel" of brake pedal see the MAINTENANCE
section on "ADJUSTING BRAKES".
DANGER
Operating the vehicle with worn or poorly
adjusted brakes can result in serious
injury or death.
If Brake Pedal travels to within 1 inch of
the Vehicle floor board, the brakes must
be adjusted or repaired.
