Transport
When transporting the buggy on a truck or trailer, know the overall height to avoid contacting
overhead obstructions such as bridges, power lines, etc. Make sure all tie-downs and blocks
are in place and bucket is completely lowered and securely latched. If our buggy is to be hauled
by truck, check truck and ramp capacities.
Maintenance, Lubrication and Adjustment
Engine
Check oil in your engine after every 10 hours of operation and maintain proper levels. Drain oil
after every 50 hours of operation and refill with grade of oil recommended below:
- API service category SJ or later (or equivalent) 10W 30.
Power Train
Check the Hydraulic Oil level in the tank, using the dip stick mounted on the filler cap and keep
filled to the proper level with EXXON Nuto #H68 Hydraulic oil or equivalent. Replace after every
200 hours. The Hydraulic Oil Filter should be changed each time the Hydraulic Oil is changed.
The Hydraulic drive motors are extremely reliable and ordinarily will not need maintenance or
repair. Should trouble develop in the Hydraulic drive motors, it is suggested that the dealer’s
service department be called. If such service is not available, from your dealer, please call
BMi at (866) 501-1683 for further instructions. The Hydraulic drive motors are manufactured
by White Hydraulics and may be serviced at their dealers and other service centers handling
their equipment. BMi will direct you to the proper place for repairs. In the event a vibration
is experienced when the engine is running, check the coupler between the engine and the
Hydraulic Pump. DO NOT make this check while the engine is running, and it will be necessary
to remove the fan shroud. After adjusting and tightening the coupler, REPLACE the fan shroud
and then start engine to see if the problem has been corrected. DO NOT run the engine or
operate the Buggy with the fan shroud removed or not firmly attached.
COLD WEATHER NOTE: In climates where temperatures are below 35° hard starting may
occur. In these cases the oil should be switched to a thinner 15 weight hydraulic fluid.
Chassis Lubrication
Lubricate your buggy each day of operation with a good grade of chassis lubricant at all of the
lubrication points listed below. (2)
Fittings – Dump Cylinder Pivots
(4) Fittings – Tub Bearing Pivot Blocks (Underside of Tub: see page 7 & 19)
(1) Fitting – Steering Bearing Flange (Front side of Handle Bar: see page 17)
Remove rear wheel hubs and repack bearings after every 400 hours of operation.
Brake Adjustment
Place the Parking Brake Lever in the engaged position. The parking brake should then be
adjusted so that the Buggy will not move. Adjustment is provided by a knob on the end of
the Parking Brake Lever and the adjustment may be tightened by turning the knob clockwise.
Adjust sufficiently tight so that when Parking Brake Lever is actuated, considerable pressure is
required to place it in the over-center or “On” position.
With the Parking Brake engaged, you should not be able to move the Buggy.
