Maintenance Precautions
Be careful with grease under
pressure
The track adjuster contains highly
pressurized grease. If the tension is
adjusted without following the prescribed
procedure, the grease discharge valve may
fly off, resulting in injury.
�
Loosen the grease discharge valve
slowly.
�
Do not loose the grease nipple.
�
Do not put your face, arms, legs or body
in front of the grease discharge valve.
�
If no grease is expelled when grease
discharge valve is loosened, there is a
problem. Contact your nearest service
outlet for repairs. DO NOT disassemble,
as this is very dangerous.
Avoid battery hazards
� Batteries contain sulfuric acid which will
damage eyes or skin on contact.
• If acid contacts eyes, flush immediately
with clean water and get prompt
medical attention.
• If acid is accidentally swallowed, drink
large quantities of water or milk and call
a physician immediately.
• If acid contacts skin or clothing, wash
off immediately with clean water.
�
Wear safety glasses and gloves when
working with batteries.
�
Batteries generate flammable and
explosive gases. Keep arcs, sparks,
flames and lighted tobacco away.
�
Use a flashlight to check battery
electrolyte level.
�
Stop the engine and shut off electrical
equipment while inspecting or handling
the battery.
�
Do not short circuit the battery posts with
metal items.
�
Always unfasten the negative (–) battery
cable first when disconnecting the battery
cable. Always connect the negative
(–) battery cable last when fastening the
battery cable.
�
Loose battery terminals may result in
sparks. Be sure to fasten terminals
tightly.
�
Make sure the vent caps are tightened
securely.
�
Do not charge a battery or jump-start the
engine if the battery is frozen. Warm to
15°C (60°F) or the battery may explode.
�
Do not use the battery when the fluid
level is below the lower level. Doing so
will hasten the deterioration of the internal
portions of the battery and shorten the
battery life, and can also cause rupturing
(or an explosion).
�
Do not fill the battery above the upper
Disconnect the battery
Disconnect the battery 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.
