MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
5.1
Receiving and Inspection
5.1.1
Unpacking
The entire spray system is packed and shipped in one crate, containing the tank and support structure and the
booms, boom struts and cables, mounted and attached to a skid frame.
5.1.2
Mechanical Inspection
Following an inventory of parts as per drawings, a visual observation shall be made of possible damage in
shipment or storage. Items not passing inspection shall be replaced with spares.
5.2
Lubrication
If the pump brake sticks after extensive use of the system, the cable may be removed and lubricated with
standard grease. All other mechanical components are adequately lubricated for the service life of the system.
5.3
Preventive Maintenance
The assembly and installation items in Section 3.2 also serve as preventive maintenance instructions. Lack of
historical reliability data under the specific application intended for this system precludes an accurate estimate of
component service life for preventive maintenance, removal and replacement at this time.
Generally, short or intermittent use and long periods of storage between usage, particularly if system is not
entirely clean, will tend to deteriorate sealed components and cause corrosion of moving parts.
