Jump-Starting
If the battery becomes discharged or does not have
enough power to start the engine, use jumper cables and
the following procedure to jump-start the loader engine.
WARNING
The ONLY safe method for jump-starting a
discharged battery is for TWO PEOPLE to
perform the following procedure. The second
person removes the jumper cables so that the
operator does not have to leave the operator’s
compartment with the engine running. NEVER
make jumper cable connections directly to the
starter solenoid of either engine. DO NOT start
the engine from any position other than on the
operator’s seat and then ONLY after being sure
ALL controls are in “neutral.”
Closely follow the procedure, in order, to avoid
personal injury. In addition, wear safety glasses
to protect your eyes and avoid leaning over the
batteries while jump-starting.
DO NOT jump-start the battery if it is frozen,
because it may rupture or explode.
NOTE: BE SURE the jumper battery is a 12 volt
D.C. battery.
1. Turn the keyswitches of both vehicles to OFF, be
sure the vehicles are in “neutral” and NOT touching
each other.
2. Connect the positive (+) jumper cable to the positive
(+) battery terminal on the disabled loader first. DO
NOT allow the jumper’s positive cable clamps to
touch any metal other than the positive (+) battery
terminals.
3. Connect the other end of the positive jumper cable to
the jumper vehicle’s battery positive (+) terminal.
4. Connect the negative (-) jumper cable to the jumper
vehicle’s battery negative (-) terminal.
5. Make the final negative (-) jumper cable connection
to the disabled loader’s engine block or loader frame
(ground) — NOT to the disabled battery’s negative
post. If connected to the engine, keep the jumper
clamp away from the battery, fuel lines and moving
parts.
6. Start the loader. If it does not start at once, start the
jumper vehicle engine to avoid excessive drain on
the booster battery.
7. After the disabled loader is started and running
smoothly, have the second person remove the
jumper cables (negative (-) jumper cable first) from
the jumper vehicle’s battery and then from the
disabled loader while being sure NOT to short the
two cables together.
Allow sufficient time for the skid loader alternator to
build-up a charge in the battery before attempting to
operate the loader or shut the engine off.
Change Hydraulic Oil (Fig. 10-2)
The hydraulic oil is contained in the reservoir (and in
hoses and other hydraulic system components).
1. Turn OFF the engine.
2. Open the reservoir drain plug located in front of the
right rear tire.
3. Drain the oil out.
4. Replace the reservoir drain plug.
5. Refill the hydraulic oil reservoir with oil. Refer to
the Lubrication chapter for hydraulic reservoir oil
recommendations.
