ST-45 PUMP — MAINTENANCE (PUMP)

BATTERY MAINTENANCE

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

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

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

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

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

zAlways 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.

zIf 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.

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. See Figure 16 for troubleshooting tips.

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.

NOTE

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 :

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

zCheck the battery regularly and make sure that each electrolyte level is to the bottom of the vent well (Figure 43). If necessary add only distilled water in a well-ventilated area.

CAUTION

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.

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