COLD WEATHER STARTING
Hard starting may occur in temperatures below 35 degrees Fahrenheit. Using a lighter
grade of oil in both the engine and hydraulic tank is recommended. Return oil to the
proper grade when temperatures are above 35 degrees Fahrenheit.
HOSES, FITTINGS AND LEAKAGE
Check weekly for loose hose fittings, damage, and leakage--it is important to check entire
machine periodically.
CLEANING MACHINE
Wash daily with warm, soapy water. Rinse off mud and dirt. Use pressurized air (30 PSI
max) to blow debris. Dirt and mud build up will decrease machine performance and/or
cause failures. Avoid spraying water directly on electrical components or electrical damage
may occur.
PARKING BUGGY
Parking on a Grade
Parking the unit on a grade should be avoided if possible. If unit must be parked on a
grade, park it at right angles to the slope and apply the parking brake and block the wheels
if necessary.
Long Term Parking
When unit is not in use for long period of time, tilt tub up so water, snow, and debris will
not collect inside. Cover dump cylinder shaft to prevent corrosion. Apply parking brake
and park unit out of main traffic areas.
If buggy will be exposed to wet freezing weather for any length of time, place tub in the
dump position to prevent any possibility of freezing water damaging the tub. Cover dump
cylinder shaft to prevent corrosion.
Moving Machine Without Engine Power
The unit can be moved short distances if the engine won’t run. The transmission is
provided with a bypass valve. Turn this valve counterclockwise to tow and clockwise to
run.
