4. 9B Battery Access
The battery is located in the engine compartment behind
the electrical panel. Simply remove the two (2) retaining
bolts and pull the battery out for service (Fig. 4.9B)
4. 9C Battery Maintenance
Inspect the battery on a regular basis for damage such as a
cracked or broken case or cover which would allow
electrolyte loss. Check the battery “Hold Down Strap” for
tightness.
Check the battery cables for tightness and that they are
corrosion free. remove any acid corrosion from the battery
and cables with a baking soda and water solution. Coat the
terminal connections with a high temperature grease. A
boosting lug is located on the right hand engine mount,
just beneath the radiator.
4. 10 TIRE MAINTENANCE
4. 10A Inflation and Service
• Upon receiving your loader, check the air pressure in
the tires as indicated in the tables.
• Check tire pressure every 50 hours, or weekly.
• Tire inflation pressure affects the amount of weight
which a tire may carry. Do not over -or -under inflate
the tires.
• Do not inflate a tire above the manufacturer’s
maximum pressure shown on the tire or the maximum
pressure shown in the table.
• Do not re - inflate a tire that has been run flat or
seriously under-inflated until the tire has been inspected
for damage by a qualified person.
• When checking tire pressure, inspect the tire for
damaged side walls and tread cuts. Neglected damage
will lead to early tire failure.
• Be sure the rim is clean and free of rust.
• Lubricate both tire beads and rim flanges with soap
solution. Do not use oil or grease.
• Use a clip-on tire chuck with a remote hose and gauge
which allows the operator to stand clear of the tire while
inflating it.
• After seating the beads, adjust inflation pressure to
recommended operating pressure.
• Do not inflate a tire unless the rim is mounted on the
loader or is secured so that it will not move if the tire or
rim should suddenly fail.

4 MAINTENANCE
To avoid personal
injury: DO NOT charge
a frozen battery because
it can explode and cause
personal injury. Let the
battery warm to
60°F.(15.5°C.) before
putting on a charger.
WARNING
C3249
Fig. 4.9B
WARNING
To avoid personal injury
or death, beware:
Inflating or servicing tires
can be dangerous.
Trained personnel should
be called to service
and/or mount tires when
possible. In any event to
avoid possible serious or
fatal injury, follow the
safety precautions below.
WARNING
NEVER INFLATE TIRES TO
OVER 240 kPa (35 PSI) TO
SEAT BEADS. If beads have
not seated by time pressure
reaches 240 kPa (35 PSI),
deflate the assembly, reposition
tire on rim, relubricate both tire
beads and rim flanges and re-
inflate. INFLATION BEYOND
240 kPa (35 PSI) with unseated
beads may break the bead or
rim with EXPLOSIVE force
sufficient to cause serious
injury.
