MAINTENANCE
Disposing of wastes
�
Collect spent fluids from the machine
in containers. Disposing of wastes
irresponsibly damages the environment.
�
Dispose of oil, fuel, cooling water, coolant,
filters, batteries and other harmful
substances as prescribed by law.
Check after maintenance
�
Gradually increase the engine speed from
a low idle to maximum speed and check
that there is no oil or water leaking from
serviced parts.
�
Operate all the operating levers and check
that the machine is operating properly.
Cautions on handling of battery cables
�
Disconnect the battery cables (+,–) before
working on the electrical system or doing
any welding.
Remove the negative (–) battery cable
first.
When reconnecting the battery, connect
the negative (–) battery cable last.
�
Do not disconnect the battery cables while
the engine is running. Doing so could
damage the electronic circuitry of the
alternator and other parts.
Do not let the wheels spin
Do not let the wheels spin when the
undercarriage is raised. Doing so may
damage the differential gears.
Do not clean parts with fuel
Do not use fuel to clean parts. Use a non-
combustible cleaning agent.
Keep dirt out
When mounting and removing parts, do so
in a place where there is no dust, clean the
working area and the part, and keep dirt
out.
Clean mounting surfaces
When mounting and removing parts, be sure
that the surfaces of contact of the parts are
clean. If the sealing grooves of the surface
of contact are damaged, consult a Takeuchi
sales or service outlet.
Seals and split pins
�
Replace removed seals and split pins with
new ones.
�
When mounting, be careful not to damage
or twist the seal.
Sealing tape
�
When wrapping sealing tape around plugs,
etc., remove any old sealing tape from the
threads and clean the threads.
�
Wrap the sealing tape tight, leaving 1 or 2
threads at the tip free.
