INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
PRE-OPERATIONAL CHECKLIST
Before Each Use:
*
Inspect the machine for damage, oil or coolant leaks.
*
Squeeze the rubber dust cup on the Engine Air Filter
(7)
to release built-up dust.
*
Check the engine coolant level
(6)
.
*
Check the engine oil level
(46)
.
*
Check the hydraulic oil level
(44)
.
*
Check the Fuel Gauge
(64d)
on the diesel models.
*
Check the Fuel Gauge
located
on the LP tank for LPG model.
*
Check the Air Filter Service Indicator
(5)
.
In the Driver’s Seat:
*
Be sure that you understand the operating controls and their functions.
*
Adjust the seat to allow easy reach of all controls.
*
Insert the Master Key and turn the Ignition Key Switch
(50)
to the ON position. Check for proper operation of the Horn
(59)
, Hour Meter
(64b)
and Headlights
(68)
. Turn the Ignition Key Switch
(50)
OFF.
*
Check the Brake Pedal
(28).
The pedal should be
fi
rm and should not go all the way down. The latch should hold the pedal when applied.
(Report all defects immediately to service personnel).
Plan Your Cleaning in Advance:
*
Arrange long runs with a minimum of stopping or starting.
*
Allow 2-3” (5.08-7.62cm) of scrub path overlap to ensure complete coverage.
*
Avoid making sharp turns, bumping into posts, or scraping the side of the machine.
HYDRAULIC OIL
Open and prop the Engine Cover
(3)
to access the hydraulic oil reservoir. Remove the Fill Cap
(44)
from the tank and look to the bottom of the
fi
ller screen. If
the oil level is below the bottom of the
fi
ller screen, add 10W30 motor oil until the bottom of the
fi
ller screen is covered (oil level should not be higher than 1/2”
(12.7mm) above the bottom of the
fi
ller screen). Change the oil if major contamination from a mechanical failure occurs.
ENGINE OIL - LPG
Check the engine oil level when the machine is parked on a level surface and the engine is cool. Change the engine oil after the
fi
rst 35 hours of
operation and every 150 hours after that. Use any SF or SG rated oil meeting API speci
fi
cations and suited to seasonal temperatures. Refer to
the Engine System section for oil capacities and additional engine speci
fi
cations. Replace the oil
fi
lter with every oil change.

ENGINE OIL - DIESEL
Check the engine oil level when the machine is parked on a level surface and the engine is cool. Change the engine oil after the
fi
rst 35 hours
of operation and every 150 hours after that. Use CF, CF-4 or CG-4 oil meeting API speci
fi
cations and suited temperatures (*important reference
the oil/fuel type note below for further diesel oil recommendations). Refer to the Engine System section for oil capacities and additional engine
speci
fi
cations. Replace the oil
fi
lter with every oil change.
TEMPERATURE RANGE
OIL WEIGHT
Above 77 °F (25 °C)
SAE 30 or 10W-30

SAE 20 or 10W-30
Below 32 °F (0 °C)
SAE 10W or 10W-30
* Diesel Lubricating Oil Note:
With the emission control now in effect, the CF-4 and CG-4 lubricating oils have been developed for use with a low-sulfur fuel used in on-road vehicle
engines. When an off-road vehicle engine runs on a high-sulfur fuel, it is advisable to employ the CF, CD or CE lubricating oil with a high total base number.
If the CF-4 or CG-4 lubricating oil is used with a high-sulfur fuel, change the lubricating oil at shorter intervals.
• Lubricating oil recommended when a low-sulfur or high-sulfur fuel is employed.
