Lubrication

To ensure maximum life and performance 

from the sprayer, grease points should be 

periodically re-lubricated according to the 

maintenance schedule. These include the axle 

hubs, leaf spring pivots and boom hinges.

A quality 

multi purpose grease

 should be 

used when lubricating your equipment.
An 

SAE 15W40 engine oil

 should be used in 

the diaphragm pump.

Maintenance

To ensure maximum life and performance from 

the sprayer, follow the maintenance schedule 

set out below:

Corrosion Prevention

To ensure maximum life and performance from 

the sprayer, G15 anti-corrosion spray has been 

applied at the time of manufacture. It is used 

on all fasteners such as bolts, nuts, washers 

and any zinc plated components.
G15 anti-corrosion spray should also be 

applied to the sprayer pre and post season.

The amount of corrosion protection necessary 

will ultimately depend on local and operating 

conditions.
