Assembly
Delivery Instructions
Prior to delivery, do the following checks, clean machine and review this manual with the owner/operator. Make sure owner/operator can safely operate every function of this machine.
Check Fluid Levels
IMPORTANT: Avoid damage! Engine damage can be caused by low fluid levels. Do not start engine before checking fluid levels. |
Check Radiator Coolant Level:
· If engine is warm, coolant level should be between the full line and the low line on the coolant overflow tank. If engine is cold, coolant level should be at the low line on the coolant overflow tank. Add coolant as necessary.
Check Engine Oil Level:
· Oil level should be within operating range (top of XX area of the dipstick). Add oil as necessary.
Check Transmission Oil Level:
· Transmission oil level should be at the top of XX area of the dipstick. Add oil as necessary.
Check Front Axle Oil Level:
· Front axle oil level should be to the top of the XX area of the front axle dipstick. Add oil as necessary.
Checking Wheel Bolt Torque
c CAUTION: Avoid injury! To avoid injury from possible machine roll over, never operate machine with a loose rim, hub, or axle.
|
Anytime hardware is loosened, it must be retightened to specified torque:
1. Tighten front wheel bolts to 133 N·m (98 lb-ft).
2. Tighten rear wheel bolts to 186 N·m (137 lb-ft).
NOTE: When machine is new or anytime wheel hardware is loosened, tighten all bolts after one hour of operation and every four hours thereafter until proper torque values are maintained.
· Check hardware after operating machine for 3 hours and again after 10 hours.
· Check all hardware frequently and keep it tight.
Check Battery
If starting motor turns over quickly, then battery is charged. If engine will not turn over and headlights are dim or will not turn on, charge the battery.
Charge the battery for a minimum of 30 minutes at 5 - 10 amps. If your battery charger has a deep cycle or maintenance free setting, use this setting to charge the battery.
Check Safety Interlock System
Perform all safety system tests to make sure the safety interlock circuit are functioning properly.
Check All Lights
Make sure the headlights, taillights, warning lights, and any optional work lights are functional.
Service Tires Safely
Explosive separation of a tire and rim parts can cause serious injury or death.
Do not attempt to mount a tire unless you have the proper equipment and experience to perform the job.
Always maintain the correct tire pressure. Do not inflate the tire above the recommended pressure. Never weld or heat a wheel and tire assembly. The heat can cause an increase in air pressure resulting in a tire explosion. Welding can structurally weaken or deform the wheel.
When inflating tires, use a clip-on chuck and an extension hose long enough to allow you to stand to one side and not in front of or over the tire assembly. Use a safety cage if available.
Check wheels for low pressure, cuts, bubbles, damaged rims or mission lug bolts and nuts.
Check Tire Pressure
IMPORTANT: Avoid damage! If the tire is liquid filled, always keep the valve stem at the top of the tire when checking tire pressure. This prevents liquid from escaping through the valve stem. |
2. Check tire pressure with an accurate gauge.
3. Add or remove air, if necessary.
