ring inside each cell. Install the filler caps with the
vents pointing to the rear (toward the fuel tank).
Keep the top of the battery clean by washing it
periodically with a brush dipped in ammonia or
bicarbonate of soda solution. Flush the top surface
with water after cleaning. Do not remove the filler
caps while cleaning.
The battery cables must be tight on the terminals to
provide good electrical contact.
If corrosion occurs at the terminals, disconnect the
cables, negative (–) cable first, and scrape the clamps
and terminals separately. Connect the cables, positive
(+) cable first, and coat the terminals with petroleum
jelly.
Checking the Fuses
There are 7 fuses in the electrical system. They are
located below the control panel (

Maintenance
Checking the Tire Pressure
Service Interval:
Before each use or daily
The tires are over-inflated for shipping. Therefore,
release some of the air to reduce the pressure.
Correct air pressure in the front and rear tires is 103
to 138 kPa (15 to 20 psi).
DANGER
Low tire pressure decreases machine side hill
stability. This could cause a rollover, which
may result in personal injury or death.
Do not under-inflate the tires.
Checking the Torque of the
Wheel Nuts and Bolts
Service Interval:
After the first 8 hours
Every 200 hours
Torque the wheel nuts and bolts to 115 to 135 N∙m
(85 to 100 ft-lb).
WARNING
Failure to maintain proper torque of the wheel
nuts and bolts could result in personal injury.
Maintain the proper torque on the wheel nuts
and bolts.
Checking the Planetary
Gear Drive Oil
Service Interval:
Every 400 hours (also, check if
external leakage is observed).
Check the oil level every 400 hours of operation. Use
high quality SAE 85W-140 gear oil as a replacement.
1.
With the machine on a level surface, position
the wheel so that 1 check plug (
) is at
the 12 o'clock position and the other is at the
3 o'clock position.
