New Sprayer Break-In
To provide proper performance and long sprayer life,
follow these guidelines for the first 100 operating hours:
• Check the fluid and engine oil levels regularly and be
alert for indications of overheating in any component of
the sprayer.
• After starting a cold engine, let it warm up for about
15 seconds before accelerating.
• Avoid hard braking situations for the first several hours
of new sprayer break-in operation. New brake linings
may not be at optimum performance until several hours
of use has caused the brakes to become burnished
(broken-in).
• Avoid racing the engine.
• Vary the sprayer speed during operation. Avoid fast
starts and quick stops.
• Refer to the Maintenance section for any special low
hour checks.
Transporting the Sprayer
For moving the sprayer long distances, use a trailer. Secure
the sprayer to the trailer. Figures 16 and 17 illustrate the
tie-down points.

Towing the Sprayer
In case of an emergency, the sprayer can be towed for a
short distance after you open the tow valve. However, we
do not recommend this as a standard procedure.
Towing at excessive speeds could cause a loss of
steering control, resulting in personal injury.
Never tow the sprayer faster than 3 mph (4.8 kph).
Warning
Towing the sprayer is a two person job. If the machine must
be moved a considerable distance, transport it on a truck or
trailer; refer to Transporting the sprayer, page 18.
1. Rotate the tow valve (Fig. 18) 90 degrees in either
direction to open it.
Important If you do not open the tow valve before
towing the sprayer you will damage the transmission.
