SECTION 3 - LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE

AS REQUIRED

OPERATION 67

Adjust the Decelerator Pedal Setting

The decelerator pedal, when pushed, reduces the engine speed to a set speed. Move the hand throttle to Full Throttle and depress the decelerator pedal. The engine RPM should drop to a consistent set speed.

NOTE: The suggested decelerator speed setting is 1400 engine RPM.

To increase the decelerator RPM setting, turn the adjusting bolt, 1, on the bottom of the pedal counterclockwise. To decrease the RPM setting, turn the bolt clockwise.

Proper operation of the decelerator will let the throttle lever, 1, stay in the preset position when the decelerator is depressed. If the throttle lever moves rearward, tighten the nut on the lever. The nut can be reached through slot, 2. Tighten the nut 1/4 turn at a time until proper operation is achieved.

OPERATION 68

Clean the Cab Floor

Keep the cab floor free of dirt and debris that may cause an obstruction or safety hazard, especially around the brake and clutch pedal area.

The cab floor should be kept clean by periodically vacuuming or sweeping, and washing.

The floor mat can be removed from the cab floor by rolling it away from the walls of the cab and pulling it upward and away from the floor. The floor mat is a two-piece rubber mat that can be washed using a mild detergent.

OPERATION 69

Clean the Cab Seat and Upholstery

When the soft trim material and seat become dirty, they should be wiped clean. Dip a cloth in a warm water/detergent solution and wring out as much of the water as possible. Wipe the interior material with the damp cloth.

The interior molding inside the cab can be cleaned with a water/detergent solution as needed.
