MAINTENANCE, LUBRICATION AND ALIGNMENT
Engine
Check oil in your engine after every 10 hours of operation and maintain proper levels.
Drain oil after every 50 hours of operation and refill with grade of oil recommended below:
•
API service category SJ or later (or equivalent) 10W 30.
DB17/21 Power Train
Check the Hydraulic Oil level in the tank
is 3” (75mm) below the top of the filler neck.
Keep filled to the proper level with EXXON Nuto #H68 Hydraulic oil or equivalent.
Replace after every 200 hours. The Hydraulic Oil Filter should be changed each time the
Hydraulic Oil is changed. The Hydraulic drive motors are extremely reliable and ordinarily
will not need maintenance or repair. Should trouble develop in the Hydraulic drive motors,
it is suggested that the dealer’s service department be called. If such service is not
available, from your dealer, please call Bartell Global for further instructions. Bartell Global
will direct you to the proper place for repairs. In the event a vibration is experienced when
the engine is running, check the coupler between the engine and the Hydraulic Pump.
DO NOT make this check while the engine is running, and it will be necessary to remove
the fan shroud. After adjusting and tightening the coupler, REPLACE the fan shroud and
then start engine to see if the problem has been corrected. DO NOT run the engine or
operate the Buggy with the fan shroud removed or not firmly attached.
COLD WEATHER NOTE
: In climates where temperatures are below 35° hard starting
may occur. In these cases the oil should be switched to a thinner 15 weight hydraulic
fluid.
Chassis Lubrication
Lubricate your buggy each day of operation with a good grade of chassis lubricant at all of
the lubrication points listed below. (2)
Fittings
– Dump Cylinder Pivots
(4) Fittings
– Tub Bearing Pivot Blocks (Underside of Tub)
(1) Fitting
– Steering Bearing Flange (Front side of Handle Bar) Remove rear
wheel hubs and repack bearings after every 400 hours of operation.
Brake Adjustment
– Wheeled Buggy
Place the Parking Brake Lever in the engaged position. The parking brake should then
be adjusted so that the Buggy will not move. Adjustment is provided by a knob on the
end of the Parking Brake Lever and the adjustment may be tightened by turning the
knob clockwise. Adjust sufficiently tight so that when Parking Brake Lever is actuated,
considerable pressure is required to place it in the over-
center or “On” position.
With the Parking Brake engaged, you should not be able to move the Buggy.
Tires
In the event you experience a puncture of the tire and tub, certain precautions must be
observed in its repair, as follows:
