parts.
Pushing the Traction Unit Off
of the Pallet
1. Reach in and rotate bypass valve on transmission
(Fig. 11) counterclockwise 1/2 to 1 turn. Opening the
valve opens an internal passage in the pump, thereby
bypassing transmission oil. Because fluid is bypassed,
the machine can be pushed without damaging the
transmission.

2. Lift machine over shipping braces and push machine off
pallet.
3. Close bypass valve by rotating it clockwise until it is
securely seated. Do not exceed 5 to 8 ft.-lb. (7 to
11 N⋅m). Do not start engine when valve is open.
Activating and Charging the
Battery
1. If battery is not filled with electrolyte or charged, bulk
electrolyte with 1.280 specific gravity @ 77° F
(25°C) must be purchased from a local battery supply
outlet.
Danger
Battery electrolyte contains sulfuric acid which is a
deadly poison and causes severe burns.
• Do not drink electrolyte and avoid contact with
skin, eyes or clothing. Wear safety glasses to
shield your eyes and rubber gloves to protect
your hands.
• Fill the battery where clean water is always
available for flushing the skin.
2. Remove filler caps from battery and slowly fill each
cell until electrolyte is just above the plates. Install filler
caps.
3. Connect a 3 to 4 amp. battery charger to the battery
posts. Charge the battery at a rate of 3 to 4 amperes for
4 to 8 hours.
4. When battery is fully charged, disconnect charger from
electrical outlet and battery posts.
