LS600 PUMP — MAINTENANCE (PUMP)

BATTERY MAINTENANCE

CAUTION - BATTERY MAINTENANCE SAFETY

Wear safety glasses or face mask, protective clothes, and rubber gloves when working with battery.

Mishandling of the battery shortens the service life of the battery and adds to maintenance cost. When handling the battery do the following:

Be careful not to let the battery electrolyte come in contact with your body or clothing.

Always wear eye protection and rubber gloves, since the battery contains sulfuric acid which burns skin and eats through clothing.

Always check the battery terminals periodically to ensure that they are in good condition.

Use wire brush or sand paper to clean the battery terminals.

Always check battery for cracks or any other damage. If white pattern appears inside the battery or paste has accumulated at the bottom, replace the battery.

If the pump will not be in operation for a long period of time, store in cool dry place and check the battery charge level every month to maintain the performance of the battery.

Check the battery regularly and make sure that each electrolyte level is to the bottom of the vent well (Figure 39). If necessary add only distilled water in a well-ventilated area.

BRAKE SYSTEM

The brake system should be periodically checked. Look for fluid leaks worn or cracked hoses. Check the reservoir for proper fluid levels. The Atwood surge brake should be checked for damage. Make sure that all links and pivots are kept lubricated.

1.Keep all links and pivots lubricated to prevent rusting and ensure ease of operation. Using SAE 30 oil, lubricate inside the release handle and inside the actuator body. This can be reached from the underside of the actuator.

Lubricate the hitch ball with conventional automotive grease or a lubricant made for hitch balls.

2.Check for any leaks in the brake system. Periodic checks should be made on all hoses to guard against cuts and worn hoses which may cause failure (leaks, rupturing under pressure, and collapsing). Replace defective hoses.

CAUTION - MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER

DO NOT fill the master cylinder reservoir with used brake fluid. DO NOT fill the reservoir beyond ½" from top. DO NOT overfill; brake fluid will damage paint.

3.Check the brake fluid level in the master cylinder reservoir. Keep it filled to within ½" from the top of the reservoir.

4.At the beginning of each year, inspect the brakes for excessive wear, replace the linings if necessary.

Wheel bearings and seals should be inspected and packed at this time.
