4 hours required to perform a
this program.
Proper battery condition is essential to good machine
performance and operational safety. Improper fluid
levels or damaged cables and connections can result
in machine component damage and hazardous
conditions.
Electrocution hazard. Contact
with hot or live circuits could result in death or serious
injury. Remove all rings, watches and other jewelry.
Bodily injury hazard. Batteries
contain acid. Avoid spilling or contacting battery acid.
Neutralize battery acid spills with baking soda and
water.
1 Put on protective clothing and eye wear.
2 Be sure that the battery cable connections are free of
corrosion.
3 Be sure that the battery hold downs and cable
connections are tight.
4 Be sure that the battery separator wire connections
are tight.
5 Remove the battery vent caps from both batteries
and check the specific gravity of each battery with a
hydrometer.
Result: If any battery cell displays a specific gravity of
less than 1.086, the battery must be replaced.
6 Check the battery acid level. If needed, replenish with
distilled water to the bottom of the battery fill tube. Do
not overfill. 7 Install the vent caps.
Table B Procedures
B-1 Replace
the Hydraulic Tank Return Filters
Replacement of the hydraulic tank return filter is
essential for good machine performance and service
life. A dirty or clogged filter may cause the machine to
perform poorly and continued use may cause
component damage. Extremely dirty conditions may
require that the filter be replaced more often.
Burn hazard. Beware of hot
oil. Contact with hot oil may cause severe burns.
Perform this procedure with
the machine off.
The system return filter is
located near the top of the
hydraulic tank
1 Open the ground controls side turntable side cover
and locate the tank return filters.
.
2 Place a suitable container under the hydraulic tank
return filters.
3 Remove each filter with an oil filter wrench.
4 Apply a thin layer of clean oil to the new oil filter
gaskets.
