TransmissionV-Belt Adjustment

1.Keep pulleys clean and properly aligned using a straight edge. Correct belt tension is essential for the transmission to work properly and efficiently, and for the longevity of the belt.

2.Use a belt tension tester to check the belt tension.

3.Apply the load to theV-belt at the center of the span between the pulleys.The belt deflection should be approximately 1/4" with 3 1/2 lbs. to 4 lbs. load.

CAUTION

DO NOT overtighten the V-belt.This will cause excessive strain on the transmission bearings, resulting in transmission failure.

Scrapers, Cocoa Mats, and Sprinkler Bars

1.Keep roller scraper bars clean. Replace any broken or stretchedspring.Preventaccumulationoftarordebrisaround pivot area.

3.Fill the water tank through the large cap on the top rear.Use only clean water or the valve, hoses, and sprinkler bars may become clogged.

Battery

The battery contains acids that can cause injury to the eyes and skin. To avoid eye irritation, always wear safety glasses. Use well insulated gloves when picking up the battery. Use the following guidelines when handling the battery:

1.DO NOT drop the battery. There is the possibility of risk that the battery may explode.

2.DO NOT expose the battery to open flames, sparks, cigarettes etc. The battery contains combustible gases and liquids. If these gases and liquids come in contact with a flame or spark, an explosion could occur.

R2000H — MAINTENANCE

3.ALWAYS keep the battery charged. If the battery is not charged a buildup of combustible gas will occur.

4.ALWAYS keep battery charging and cables in good working condition. Repair or replace all worn cables.

5.ALWAYS recharge the battery in an vented air environment, to avoid risk of a dangerous concentration of combustible gases.

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

7.ALWAYS recharge the battery in an vented air environment, to avoid risk of a dangerous concentration of combustible gases.

8.In case the battery liquid (dilute sulfuric acid) comes in contact with clothing or skin, rinse skin or clothing immediately with plenty of water.

9.In case the battery liquid (dilute sulfuric acid) comes in contact with your eyes, rinse eyes immediately with plenty of water, then contact the nearest doctor or hospital, and seek medical attention.

CAUTION:

If your clothing or skin comes in contact with the battery acid, immediately wash off with running water and get medical attention.

zCheck the battery regularly and make sure that each electrolyte level is to the bottom of the vent well (Figure 22). If necessary add only distilled water in a well-ventilated area.
