CHECKING/SERVICING
DANGER
To prevent accidental starting of the en gine
when servicing or adjusting the ma chine,
remove the key from the ignition switch
and disconnect the spark plug wires.
Security of Air Filtration Components
NOTE:
The following inspection is
only an exter-
nal inspection
and should be done without “dis-
turbing” the filtration components.
On a daily basis, visually inspect the external
condi tion of the complete air cleaner system. The
following items should be inspected:
1. Check the Donaldson Radialseal
TM
air cleaner
canister for damage. Make sure the cover is
in place and the cover latches are secure–do
not run the engine without the air cleaner
cover in place and secure.
2. Inspect the air intake hose for cracks, nicks,
and cuts, and check the hose clamps for tight-
ness.
3.
Check to make sure the air filter restriction
gauge is in place and hose connections are
secure.
Battery
NOTE:
For initial battery service during setup,
re fer to
Battery Service on page 18
.
IMPORTANT:
Make sure battery is securely
mount ed in the frame. A loose battery may cause
damage to the case resulting in acid leakage and
severe dam age to the machine. A hazard may be
created by damage to critical working parts and
safety systems.
CAUTION
Important Battery Service, Installation, and
Charging Tips for Electronic Fuel Injection
Engines:
●
Do not allow the battery cables to touch
opposing terminals. When connecting
battery cables attach the positive (+)
cable to positive (+) battery terminal
first, followed by negative (-) cable to
negative (-) battery terminal.
●
Never start the engine when the cables
are loose or poorly connected to the
battery terminals.
●
Never disconnect battery while engine
is running.
●
Never use a quick battery charger to
start the engine.
●
Never “jump start” the engine using
another source. Electricity fluctua
-
tions can damage the ECU (Electronic
Control Unit).
●
Always disconnect negative (-) battery
cable lead before charging battery, and
also unplug harness from ECU before
performing any welding on equipment.
Electrolyte Level
The battery electrolyte level should be checked
after every 25 hours
of operation. To check elec-
trolyte level:
1. Remove battery cell filler caps.
2. Check the electrolyte level. If the level is
below the bottom of the vent well, fill with
distilled water to the bottom of the vent wells
[1/4 to 1/2 in. (6 to 13 mm) above the plates].
3.
Replace filler caps.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT
overfill the battery. Elec-
trolyte will overflow through the vented caps onto
parts of the machine and
WILL
result in severe
corrosion.
