FS3SP 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

General Motors Dextron B

Ford MM2C-33F

Ford M2C-41A

International Harvester Hy-Tran Fluids

NOTICE

DO NOT overfill the expansion tank. (See figure 10). Note the level marks on the oil reservoir. It is essential to reference the existing oil conditions (A) "cold" or (B) "hot" levels piror to servicing. Overfilling the transmission with oil 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 batter is required perform the following:

■A face shield and rubber gloves should be worn while handleing 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 electorlyte manufacturer must always be followed to ensure saftey. Serious injury can result from careless handling and non- compliance to saftey 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 exlectrical short circuit or an explosion

NOTICE

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