STORAGE & MAINTENANCE
SPECIFIC MAINTENANCE:
EVAPORATIVE EMISSION COMPONENTS:
The unit you have purchased includes the following components that are in
compliance with 2006 California Air Resources Board Evaporative Emission
Standards;
1. Fuel Hose
2. Fuel Hose Fittings
These components should be inspected on a daily basis for cracks, leaks,
and abnormal wear. If cracking, leaks or abnormal wear has occurred, the
components should be replaced immediately.
ENGINE: The engine instruction manual accompanying your unit lists the
specific procedures for maintenance on the engine. Following the engine
manufacturer's recommendations will extend engine life.
PUMP: Change the pump oil after the first 50 hours of operation. After
initial change, the manufacturer recommends changing the oil every three
months or at 250 hour intervals. If oil appears dirty or milky, changes may
be required in greater frequency. Use SAE20 or 30 non-detergent pump oil
and fill only to the center of the oil sight glass. DO NOT overfill.
NOZZLE: Water flow through the spray nozzle will erode the orifice, making
it larger, resulting in a pressure loss. Nozzles should be replaced whenever
pressure is less than 85% of the maximum. The frequency of replacement
will depend upon such variables as mineral content in the water and number
of hours the nozzle is used.
MAINTENANCE-EVERY 3 MONTHS:
CHANGE WATER PUMP OIL: Ensure unit is off. Change the pump oil after
the first 50 hours of operation. After initial change, every 3 months or 500
hour intervals are recommended. If oil appears dirty or milky, changes may
be required in greater frequency. Use SAE20 or 30 non-detergent pump oil
and fill only to the center of the oil sight glass. DO NOT overfill.
REPLACE HIGH PRESSURE NOZZLE: Water flow through the spray nozzle
will erode the orifice, making it larger, resulting in a pressure loss. Nozzles
should be replaced whenever pressure is less than 85% of the maximum.
The frequency of replacement will depend upon such variables as mineral
content in the water and number of hours the nozzle is used.
MAINTENANCE-EVERY 3 MONTHS CONT.:
BELT INSPECTION: Ensure unit is off and remove the beltguards. Inspect
the v-belt for wear and tightness. If the v-belt needs to be replaced or tight-
ened, follow the procedures listed below:
REPLACEMENT:
1. Loosen the four pump mounting bolts (A).
2. Loosen the two alignment nuts approximately one inch on the alignment
bolts (B1 & B2).
3. Slide the pump toward the engine to loosen belts.
4. Remove and replace belt.
TIGHTEN: (IF V-BELT WAS NOT REPLACED, YOU WILL NEED TO LOOSEN
THE NUTS ON THE
CEEDING.)
1. Tighten B2 alignment bolt. The pump will shift to the left until there is
tension on the belt. Then tighten B2 nut.
2. Tighten B1 alignment bolt, until sheaves are straight. (Use a straightedge
for alignment.)
