Fuel filter 7Q, Belt transmissions, Battery

ENENGLISH

Use oil according to the table below.

Oil	SAE 10W-30
Service class	SJ or higher

Use oil without any additives.

Do not fill with too much oil. This can cause the engine to overheat.

Change oil when the engine is warm.

The engine oil may be very hot if it is drained off directly after the engine is shut off. Therefore allow the engine to cool a few minutes before draining the oil.

1.Unscrew the oil drain plug (fig. 9).

2.Collect the oil in a collection vessel. Then take the oil to a recycling station. Do not spill any oil on the drive belts.

3.Screw in the oil drain plug.

4.Remove the dipstick and fill up with new oil. Oil quantity: 1.4 l

5.After filling up the oil, start the engine and idle for 30 seconds.

6.Check to see if there is any oil leakage.

7.Stop the engine. Wait for 30 seconds and then check the oil level in accordance with 4.2.

5.5Fuel filter (7:Q)

Replace the fuel filter every season. Check for fuel leaks once the new filter has been installed.

5.6 Belt transmissions

After 5 hours of operation, check that all the belts are intact and undamaged.

5.7 Steering

The steering must be checked/adjusted after 5 hours of operation and thereafter every 25 hours of operation.

5.7.1 Checks

Briefly turn the steering wheel back and forth. There must be no mechanical clearance in the steering.

5.7.2 Adjustment

Tension the steering cables by tightening up the nut. Important! The screws in the ends of the cable should be held firmly during adjustment so that the cable is not twisted. Using an adjustable wrench or similar, grasp the key handle on the screws in the ends of the cable.

Adjust the steering cables until all play is removed. Do not tension the steering cables too hard. Other- wise the steering will be heavy and wear and tear on the cables will increase.

5.8Battery

Never overcharge the battery. Over- charging can damage the battery.

Do not short-circuit the battery’s termi- nals. Sparks occur which can result in fire. Do not wear metal jewellery which can come into contact with the battery terminals.

In the event of damage to the battery casing, cover, terminals or interference to the strip covering the valves, the bat- tery should be replaced.

The battery is a valve-regulated battery with 12 V nominal voltage. The battery fluid does not need to and cannot be checked or topped up. The only maintenance that is required is charging, for exam- ple after extended storage.

The battery must be fully charged be- fore being used for the first time. The battery must always be stored fully charged. If the battery is stored while discharged, serious damage will occur.

5.8.1 Charging with the engine

The battery can be charged using the engine’s gen- erator as follows:

1.Install the battery in the machine as shown be- low.

2.Place the machine outdoors or install an extrac- tion device for the exhaust fumes.

3.Start the engine according to the instructions in the user guide.

4.Allow the engine to run continuously for 45 minutes.

5.Stop the engine. The battery will now be fully charged.

5.8.2 Charging using battery charger

When charging using a battery charger, a battery charger with constant voltage must be used. Contact your dealer to purchase a battery charger with constant voltage.

The battery can be damaged if a standard type battery charger is used.

5.8.3 Removal/Installation

The battery is placed under the engine casing. See fig. 11. During removal/installation of the battery, the following applies regarding connection of the cables:

•During removal. First disconnect the black ca- ble from the battery’s negative terminal (-). Then disconnect the red cable from the battery’s positive terminal (-).

•During installation. First connect the red cable to the battery’s positive terminal (+). Then con- nect the black cable to the battery’s negative ter- minal (-).
