Preventative Maintenance, continued;
ALWAYS wear eye and hand protection when working with the battery.
8. BATTERY: The units are supplied with "maintenance free" batteries so there
is no need to check uid levels but the battery terminals should be checked
daily for corrosion. Remove any corrosion with a wire brush and coat the
terminals with light grease or petroleum jelly to reduce the possibility of corro-
sion. Also check the battery cable for wear all cable connections and battery
tie downs to be certain that they are not loose.
9. DRIVE BELT (if equipped): The main drive belt should be checked daily for
cracks and for proper tension. If the belt shows any sign of cracking it should
be replaced immediately. The proper tension of the belt should be approxi-
mately 1/2" deection when applying a 8 pound pull.
10. FASTENERS: Fasteners should be checked weekly for the rst 30 days and
monthly thereafter. They must be in place at all times and properly torqued.
For general torque values see the torque chart at the end of this section.
11. INSTRUMENT PANEL AND CIRCUIT BOARD: The instrument panel and
circuit board should be cleaned with compressed air daily. Also the circuit
board connectors should be wiped clean and have nonconductive grease ap-
plied weekly to help maintain solid connections.
12. BOOM HYDRAULIC PUMP: Check the uid level daily. If uid needs to be
added, automatic transmission uid (ATF) is recommended. Clean debris and
oil off the solenoid and pump daily. A build up of debris can cause premature
failure to the pump. Check and tighten all hydraulic ttings making sure there
are no leaks.
