Multiquip operation manual FS2/FS2SP Concrete SAW Inspection, Do not overfill the battery

FS2/FS2SP CONCRETE SAW — INSPECTION

HydrostaticTransmission - An EATON® Model 7 hydrostatic transmission (Figure 9) provides the power for the saw's propulsion system.The transmission drives a sprocket that directly connects the rear axle assembly via a drive chain.The "no load" forward/reverse speeds are approximately 80 ft/min (FS2SP models only).

Figure 9. Hydrostatic Transmission

The transmission is factory filled with approved hydraulic fluid that has a viscosity equivalent to SAE 20W-20. Should additional servicing be required, the following hydraulic fluids are recommended:

zGeneral Motors Dextron B

zFord MM2C-33F

zFord M2C-41A

zInternational harvester Hy-Tran Fluids

Figure 10. Transmission Reservoir

NOTE

DO NOT over fill the fluid reservoir (Figure 10). Note the level marks on the reservoir. It is essential to reference the existing oil conditions (A) cold or

(B)hot prior to operating the saw. Overfilling the transmission with hydraulic fluid may cause the seals to rupture causing mechanical damage.

Battery - The 12-Volt DC battery (Figure 11) is shipped dry, and will require a proper electrolyte level for operation (electric start models only).

Figure 11. Battery

When servicing of the battery is required perform the following:

zA face shield and rubber gloves should be worn while handling and servicing battery's electrolyte.

zDisconnect battery terminal clamps, and remove the battery from the saw when servicing is required.

zDO NOT overfill the battery.

WARNING!

Electrolyte is an acid and must be handled with caution. Servicing instructions from the electrolyte manufacturer must always be followed to ensure safety. Serious injury can result from careless handling and non- compliance to safety handling instructions.

WARNING!

Overfilling the battery may cause the electrolyte to overflow resulting in corrosion to nearby components. Immediately wash off any spilled electrolyte (battery acid).

Additionally, when connecting the positive

(+)cable to the battery's positive (+) terminal post, DO NOT allow contact of the wrench or any metallic part to come in contact with the battery's negative (-) terminal post. This may result in an electrical short circuit or an explosion.

NOTE

Use only distilled water in the battery.Tap water can reduce the operating life of the battery.
