Maintenance Instructions
CAUTION
To prevent vehicle and/or engine component
damage, do not allow the fluid level in the
reservoir to go below the MIN line. If too much
air enters, the hydraulic system will not operate
correctly, and the clutch could be damaged.
1.
Reservoir
2.
Cap
If the fluid level is below the MIN line, remove cap and fill the
reservoir with DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid until the level reaches
the MAX line.
Electrical
Batteries
Battery life and performance varies greatly depending on
duty cycle.
Conditions such as short runs between starts,
low ambient operating temperatures, using battery current
without the engine running, and vibration will reduce battery
life. Battery life is also affected by the condition of interrelated
components, such as alternators, battery cables, connections,
engine startability, starter, etc. To maximize battery life, it is
important to keep electrical components, battery boxes, and the
engine in top condition and to minimize or eliminate electrical
loads when the engine is not running.
Battery life can be extended by keeping the batteries fully
charged at all times.
Periodically charging the batteries
with a battery charger may be able to charge the batteries
more completely than the vehicle’s alternator in certain
severe applications.
Use a battery charger (float charger)
that automatically reduces amperage or shuts off when the
batteries are fully charged. Use of a Midtronics 55-Amp Power
Supply/Smart (Battery) Charger, Model Number PCX550, Part
Number PSC550CCKIT (or equivalent), available through your
International dealer, is recommended.
Cold batteries resist charging.
Battery performance can be
improved by regularly or even periodically storing vehicles and
charging batteries with an automatic float charger for 8 to 24
hours in a warm garage during the cold winter months.
