The machine can be prepared as follows:
1.
Take all separate parts from machine
2.
The rear wheels with brakes can be assembled, as follows, see Fig 1A:
-
The control rod mechanism 3 with the brake pedal is already installed.
-
Remove the bearing 4 standard nuts one by one and put the new longer ones 5 and 6 on.
Nut 5 is machined and should take plate 26 as well.
-
Base plate 23 can be fixed with bolts 21 onto the nuts 5 and 6. Add lever 25 at the same
time. NOTE: the lever 25 is delivered as a right and left version. When assembled, it
should face to the rear of the machine.
-
Assemble brake shoe pivot plate 17 with two bolts 15, two distance bushes 20 to the base
plate 23.
-
Fit the brake spring 19 on both brake shoes and “fold” the brake shoes around the lever
25 flat end and the mounted pivot plate 16
-
Screw the threaded studs 10 in the brake drum 8, and lock them with nut 9. NOTE. The
threaded rod 10 may not protrude inside the brake drum. Also use loctite so the studs are
tight in the brake drum 8.
-
Slide the distance bushes 12 on the threaded studs and mount the whole brake drum
assembly 8 on the wheelshaft 10.
-
The wheels shaft 11 assembly can be slide into the bearings 4. Don’t forget the taper bush
28 for locking the shaft to the bearings at each side. NOTE. Take care that the splines of
the shaft 11 match the sprocket inside. If it is hard to do, loosen the chain tension even
further.
-
The wheelshaft may not protrude the bearing 4 taper bush 28 at the Verti-Drain side. The
shaft end should align with the taper bush 28 inside.
-
Check the working of the brake by manually controlling the lever 25. The lever should
not be tight. If it works well, mount the rod 3 end joint 27 with nut 24 to the lever 25. The
length should be adjusted, so the brakes work even at each side of the machine.
-
Check the tightness of all components. Check the working of the brakes. The pedal
should have a free clearance of 25 mm (1”). Check / adjust the chain tension.
3.
Assemble the front wheel assembly 1 with the studs/nuts 2. Take care the positioning pins 3
line up with the main frame. Also be sure the teeth part 4 fits correctly to the gearwheel of
steering wheel 14.
4.
Assemble manual steering handle 15 with pin 17 and pin 16 to the front wheel assembly 1. Be
careful with the electric wire. No key required !.
5.
The battery needs to be filled with acid till the indicated level and charged for app. 4 hours @
3 Amp. The battery is located under the seat assembly 12. Remove the 4 nuts 6 and take seat
away. After the battery is installed, check whether gear shift rod doesn’t hit battery in 6th
gear.(NOTE: Red wire = +, black wire = -)
6.
Fill the engine with oil (See engine manual for information).[If not done yet].
7.
Fill hydraulic tank opposite of engine with 7 ltr (2 US gallon) hydraulic oil 10W40 [If not
done yet].
8.
Check machine for damages and loose objects/ bolts/nuts.
9.
Remove the machine from pallet. Note: DON’T use lift point 11 to raise the whole machine.
This lift point is for the Verti-Drain unit only.
