neutral span.
6.
Tighten the locknut securing adjustment.
7.
Stop the engine. Remove the jack stands and
lower the machine to the shop floor. Test drive
the machine to make sure it does not creep.
ADJUSTING PEDAL FOR FOR-
WARD
The pedal must be adjusted for forward if the jam
nuts on the control rod are loosened or if the pedal is
removed.
1.
Park the machine on a level surface and turn the
engine off.
2.
Make sure the pump is in neutral.
3.
Loosen the jam nuts on the control rod.
4.
Press down on the forward pad of the pedal until
the pedal rod contacts the footrest. Tighten the
jam nuts.
ADJUSTING THE STEERING
WHEEL TILT LEVER
If the steering wheel tilt lever does not lock after
adjusting the wheel position, an adjustment to the
lever is required.
1.
Loosen the capscrew securing the lever to the
locking pin.
2.
Lift the lever off the hex on the locking pin.
Turn the lever counterclockwise to the next hex
on the pin.
3.
Push the lever onto the locking pin hex and
secure it with a capscrew.
4.
Check adjustment and repeat if necessary.
BATTERY STORAGE
If the machine will be stored for more than 30 days,
remove the battery and charge it fully. Either store it
on a shelf or on the machine. Leave the cables dis-
connected if stored on the machine. Store the battery
in a cool atmosphere to avoid quick deterioration of
the charge in the battery. To prevent the battery from
freezing, make sure it is fully charged. The specific
gravity of a fully charged battery is 1.250.
BATTERY CARE
1.
The battery’s electrolyte level must be properly
maintained and the top of the battery kept clean.
If the machine is stored in a location where tem-
peratures are extremely high, the battery will run
down more rapidly than if the machine is stored
in a location where temperatures are cool.
2.
Keep the top of the battery clean by washing it
periodically with a brush dipped in an ammonia
or bicarbonate of soda solution. Flush the top
surface with water after cleaning. Do not
remove the fill cap while cleaning.
