whichever comes first. Make necessary repairs before operating.
13. Warning!
Hydraulic pressure escaping under pressure can penetrate the skin and cause
injury.
Keep hands and body away from pin hole leaks or nozzles that eject high pressure
hydraulic fluid. A small leak can be dangerous. To find hydraulic leaks use cardboard
or paper.
If fluid is accidentally injected into the skin a doctor familiar with this type of injury
must surgically remove it within a few hours.
Adjusting Drive Chains
Check Drive Chain Tension. When properly
adjusted drive chains should have approximately
50mm to 75mm of slack. The chain tension
adjustment bolts are at the front of the machine (1).
To check the chain tension, remove chain guard, tilt
the bucket so that the front wheels lift off the
ground. In that position, check the chain by pressing
down on the top chain. There should be 50 to 75mm
between the top of the chain when pressed and the
bottom of the mudguard.
Chains should be run dry for maximum chain life
– do not use oil or chain lubricant.
IMPORTANT: Always tension both chains equally
to maintain front end alignment. Under some sandy conditions, the sand can build up
on the sprockets as little shells. This, in effect, enlarges the size of the sprocket and the
chain tightens. Under these conditions run the chains considerably looser.
1. Chain Adjustment
Battery
Always keep the battery clean and fully charged. Use a paper towel to clean the
battery case. If the battery terminals are corroded, clean them with a solution of four
parts water and one part baking soda. Apply a light coating of grease to the battery
terminals to reduce corrosion.
Voltage: 12v, 380 Cold Cranking Amps.
If battery becomes flat or machine is not used for a long period, charge the battery
using an external battery charger. Disconnect battery terminals before charging the
battery. Do not rely on the engines charging system to recharge a battery. It is only
meant to maintain charge in a good battery.
