MAINTENANCE
Inspecting the Battery Fluid Level
and Replenishing
DANGER
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).
Batteries generate flammable and
explosive gases. Keep arcs, sparks,
flames and lighted tobacco away.
Use a dampened cloth to clean the area
of the fluid level lines and check the fluid
level. Note that if this area is cleaned
with a dry cloth, static electricity could
cause ignition or explosion.
WARNING
Do not fill the battery above the upper
level. Doing so could cause the fluid to
leak, contact and damage the skin, or
cause parts to corrode.
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.
Inspection
IMPORTANT: Check the fluid level of all
cells, even when the fluid level can be
checked by indicator.
Every 50 Hours
Inspecting the Crawler Tension
This machine uses a hydraulic cylinder to
adjust the tension of the crawler belts. Note
that it is not necessary to regularly perform
adjustments of the tension of the belt itself.
Inspection
1. On level ground, move the machine
forward and backward two or three times
then travel in reverse so that the slack in
the crawler is on the upper side.
2. Place straight bars on the sprocket and
idler sides with the carrier roller at the
center. The standard slack of (A) and (B)
is 5 to 15 mm (0.2 to 0.6 in.).
If the amount of slack is large, contact a
Takeuchi sales or service outlet for repairs.
