The oil plug will be damaged if it is
tightened more to than 5 Nm.
9. Check that the gasket on the oil plug of the rear
axle is intact. See fig. 18:Y. Reinstall on the rear
axle. Tighten the filter plug to 5 Nm.
10.Draw out the oil from the deeper section of the
reservoir using an oil extractor. See fig. 20.
11.Dispose of the oil according to local
regulations.
7.5.3 Filling
The engine must never be run when the
rear clutch release lever is pushed in
and the front clutch release lever is
pulled out.
This will damage the front axle seals.
1. Fill the oil reservoir with the new oil.
If the engine is run indoors, exhaust
extraction equipment must be
connected to the engine’s exhaust pipe.
2. Check that the rear axle’s clutch release lever is
pulled out.
3. Start the engine. When the engine is started, the
front axle’s clutch release lever slides inwards
automatically.
4. Pull out the front axle’s clutch release lever.
NOTE! The oil is drawn into the system very
quickly. The reservoir must always be
topped up. Air must never be drawn in.
5. Set the accelerator pedal to the forward position
by blocking it using a wooden wedge. See fig.
21. Fill the oil reservoir by hand using new oil.
6. Run in the forward position for one minute.
7. Move the wooden wedge and set the accelerator
pedal to the reverse position. Continue filling
with oil.
8. Run in reverse mode for one minute.
9. Change driving direction once every minute as
above and continue filling with oil until the
bubbling in the reservoir stops.
10.Switch off the engine, install the oil reservoir
cover and close the engine cover.
11.Test drive for several minutes and adjust the oil
level in the reservoir.
7.6 BELT TRANSMISSIONS
After 5 hours of operation, check that all the belts
are intact and undamaged.
7.7 STEERING
The steering must be checked/adjusted after 5
hours of operation and thereafter after 100 hours of
operation.
7.7.1 Checks
Briefly turn the steering wheel back and forth.
There must be no mechanical clearance in the
steering chains.
7.7.2 Adjustment
Adjust the steering chains if required as follows:
1. Put the machine in the straight-ahead position.
2. Adjust the steering chains with the two nuts,
located under the central point. See fig. 24.
3. Adjust both nuts by the same amount until there
is no clearance.
4. Test drive the machine straight forwards and
check that the steering wheel is not off centre.
5. If the steering wheel is off centre, undo one nut
and tighten the other.
Do not over-tighten the steering chains. This will
cause the steering to become heavy and will
increase wear on the steering chains.
7.8 BATTERY
If acid comes into contact with the eyes
or skin, this can cause serious injuries.
If any part of the body has come into
contact with acid, rinse immediately
with copious amounts of water and seek
medical assistance as soon as possible.
The battery is a valve-regulated battery with 12 V
nominal voltage. The battery fluid does not need to
and cannot be checked or topped up. The only
maintenance that is required is charging, for
example after extended storage.
The battery must be fully charged
before being used for the first time. The
battery must always be stored fully
charged. If the battery is stored while
discharged, serious damage will occur.
7.8.1 Charging with the engine
See 3.3.1.
7.8.2 Charging using battery charger
See 3.3.2.
7.8.3 Removal/Installation
See fig. 5. The battery is placed under the engine
casing. During removal/installation, the following
applies regarding connection of the cables:
• During removal. First disconnect the black
cable from the battery’s negative terminal (-).
Then disconnect the red cable from the battery’s
positive terminal (-).
• During installation. First connect the red cable
to the battery’s positive terminal (+). Then
connect the black cable to the battery’s negative
terminal (-).
