MAINTENANCE
(CONTINUED)
TIRE PRESSURE
Caution must be used when inflating a low tire to recommended pressure. Over inflating can cause tires to
explode. Tires on the machine should be 18 psi (1.3 bar), castor wheels should be 20 psi (1.4 bar). Improper
inflation will reduce tire life considerably.
WHEEL MOUNTING PROCEDURE
1. Turn machine off and remove key.
2. Be sure unit is on a level surface. Unhitch from tow vehicle if possible.
3. Block the opposite wheel then the one you are working on.
4. Loosen nuts slightly on wheel to be removed.
5. Jack up machine being careful not to damage underside of machine.
6. Remove nuts, remove wheel.
7. Place new wheel on hub lining up bolt holes.
8. Torque nuts to 64-74 ft/lb (87-100 Nm) using a cross pattern. Torque again after first 10 hours and every
200 hours thereafter.
9. Lower machine to ground and remove blocks and jack.
HYDRAULIC OIL
1. Use SAE 10W-40 API Service SJ or higher motor oil.
2. For proper warranty, change oil every 500 hours or annually, which ever is first and change the filter after
the first 20 hours, then at 100 hours, then every 250 hours thereafter.
3. Inspect hydraulic lines for damage or leaks. Never use hands to inspect leaks.
4. Check hydraulic fluid level in tank. Look at the sight gauge on the front left side of the tank. The oil level
should be at 90°C (194°F). If level is low, add SAE 10W-40 API Service SJ or higher motor oil.
5. After changing oil and/or filter, operate the machine for a few minutes. Check oil level and for leaks.
6. Always use caution when filling hydraulic oil tank or checking level to keep system free of contaminants.
Check and service more frequently when operating in extremely cold, hot or dusty conditions.
7. If natural color of fluid is now black or smells burnt, it is possible that an overheating problem exists.
8. If fluid becomes milky, water contamination may be a problem.
9. If either of the above conditions happen, change oil and filter immediately after fluid is cool and find cause.
Take fluid level readings when system is cold.
10. In extreme temperatures you can use straight weight oil. We recommend SAE 30W API Service SJ or
higher when hot (above 90°F (33°C)) and SAE 10W API Service SJ or higher when cold (below 32°F (0°C))
ambient temperature. Use either motor oil or hydraulic oil, but do not mix.
11. Oil being added to the system must be the same as what is already in the tank. Mark tank fill area as to
which type you put in.
VERTICUT REEL VALVE HANDLE
If the rubber finger sweeper head is installed on your unit and verticut reel handle is acti-
vated, the hydraulic system may be damaged due to overheating the oil. Remove the
verticut reel valve handle when using the rubber finger sweeper head (72-002).
