Maintenance

6.Raise the rear of machine up and support with jack stands (or equivalent support) just high enough to allow drive wheels to turn freely.

7.Start engine and move throttle control ahead to full throttle position. Move the speed control levers to the full speed and run for several minutes. Shut down machine and recheck oil level.

Note: Do Not change hydraulic system oil (except for what can be drained when changing filter), unless it is felt the oil has been contaminated or been extremely hot.

Changing oil unnecessarily could damage hydraulic system by introducing contaminates into the system.

Check Engine Coolant Level

Service Interval: Before each use or daily

Note: If the engine coolant level is below the indicator line on the overflow bottle when the engine is cold, the coolant temperature gauge may not register correctly during operation and/or the warning buzzer may not sound if the engine overheats.

1.Stop engine and wait for all moving parts to stop. Make sure unit is on a level surface.

2.Check with engine cold.

3.View coolant level in overflow bottle on the left side of the engine compartment. Coolant level should be at the indicator line on the overflow bottle.

4.If the coolant level is low, open hood or raise radiator, remove the cap to the overflow bottle and fill to the indicator line. Units should only be filled with a 50/50 mix of Dex-Cool© extended life coolant and water. Dex-Cool© can be identified by its orange color.

WARNING

Engine coolant is hot and pressurized and radiator and surrounding parts are hot. Spray or steam from hot, pressurized liquid in the engine cooling system and touching a hot radiator may cause severe burns.

Allow the engine to cool completely before removing the radiator cap or servicing any component of the cooling system.

CAUTION

Engine coolant is toxic. Swallowing coolant can cause poisoning.

•Do Not swallow.

•Keep out of reach of children and pets.

Change Engine Coolant

Service Interval: Every 4,000 hours/Every 4 years (whichever comes first) Dex-Cool©extended life coolant (orange color)

1.Stop engine, wait for all moving parts to stop, and remove key. Engage parking brake. Machine must be positioned on level surface.

2.Unhook seat latch, tilt seat up and tilt hood forward to gain access to the cooling area. Do Not raise radiator, as it may not fully drain in that position.
