7)
The frame
is of a one-piece welded construction, using 3/16 is steel. The
welded assembly is black powder coated. Most of the bolt holes in the frame are
tapped so nuts are not required.
8) Attached to the underside of the frame is a "
belly pan
" held in place with two
bolts near the center and three bolts at the bottom of the back. This belly pan
protects the motor/axle assembly from contamination, driving over curbs or
running over objects. The belly pan must be removed if any of the motor/axle
parts are to be serviced or replaced.
9) The front
drive wheels
are 12 inches in diameter with four 5/16-18 bolts holding
it to an aluminum hub. The hub is clamped and keyed to the axle. These drive
wheels are available as either pneumatic or foam-filled. Available tread types
include: saw tooth, knobby or snow lugs. Tire chains, for traction in snow, are
also offered.
10) The standard batteries are deep cycle, maintenance free, group 27, rated at 180
minutes of reserve capacity.
11) The
beacon post
contains three major components: strobe light, brake light and
radio system. It is mounted in a channel on the back of the machine with two
bolts. The beacon tower can be folded down, for shipping or storage, by
removing the bottom bolt, loosening the top bolt (which also acts as a hinge
point). In doing this the cable at the bottom of the beacon post must first be
disconnected from the junction box and its end pulled through the hole in the
back of the frame on older models. Newer models have long cables that do not
have to be disconnected.
12) The
strobe
light remains flashing whenever the machine's key switch is turned
"on" unless the emergency stop switch has been pressed. Re-cycling the key
will restart the machine. The strobe light will operate when the manual brake
release lever is pulled out. The strobe light bulb can be reached by unscrewing
the colored lens.
13) The
brake light
comes on whenever the drive motor acts to slow the machine
down, by releasing the hand throttle grip or letting up on one of the two remote
speed control buttons. The brake light uses a 36-volt bulb or LED light.
14) The
radio
system is one of the more sophisticated aspects of the machine. It
deals with 4 separate commands (control functions) of which only one-at-a-time
is allowed: Brake, Slow, Fast or Horn.
a)
The
hand-held remote
has a separate button for each of the four
functions. When a button is pressed, an encoded 418 or 433 MHz radio
signal is sent by the remote and picked up by the receiver. The remote
operates on four AA batteries which should have a life of 2 to 3 months
under normal conditions. Each hand held remote has a unique built in
identification code. To "program" a receiver, the stop and horn button are
pressed simultaneously while a small button switch is pressed on the
bottom of the beacon post box. Once the receiver is matched to a specific
remote, no other remote will cause it to operate. If the remote is changed
the receiver must be re-programmed.
