Introduction
SET UP
The Model 1600P Prime Mover arrives from setup and ready for service. Depending on freight
conditions the tires, wheels and steering wheel may need to be installed.
The spray system is normally shipped attached to the 1600P Prime Mover. If a spray system is to be retrofitted
to a 1600P Prime Mover by a dealer or owner, assemble and attach the components in accordance with the
parts drawings in the Spray Star 1600P Parts/Service Manual.
1. Remove the top and sides from the shipping crate then remove the banding from the Spray Star.
Banding is under tension.
2. Lift front end using a hydraulic jack, taking care that the jack is not placed in a
location that would damage any steering system components, install front
wheels and torque nuts to 64-74 ft/lb (87-100 Nm). Then raise rear axle using
a hydraulic jack and install rear wheels and tires, torque lug nuts to 64-
74 ft/lb (87-100 Nm). Torque again after the first 10 hours and every
200 hours thereafter.
