Hydrostatic Transmission

An EATON® Model 7 hydrostatic transmission (Figure 8) provides the power for the saw's propulsion system. The transmission drives a sprocket that directly connects the spline drive to the rear wheels. The no load forward/reverse speeds are approximately 80 ft/min.

Figure 8. 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:

General Motors Dextron B

Ford MM2C-33F

Ford M2C-41A

International harvester Hy-Tran Fluids

Figure 9.Transmission Reservoir

CAUTION

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 10) is shipped dry, and will require a proper electrolyte level for operation.

Figure 10. Battery

When servicing of the battery is required perform the following:

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

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

DO 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 noncompliance to safety handling instructions.

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.

Use only distilled water in the

NOTEbattery.Tap water can reduce the operating life of the battery.
