Regular Maintenance

CHECK HYDRAULIC OIL LEVEL

1.Before removing the reservoir cap, make sure the area around the reservoir cap and fill neck of the reservoir is free of dust, dirt, or other debris.

2.Unscrew the reservoir cap (B, Figure 20).

3.Look down the filler neck of the hydraulic oil reservoir (A, Figure 20) and observe the oil level. When cold, the oil level should be approximately 4” (10 cm) below top of the filler neck.

4.If necessary, add either Mobil 1™, 15W-50 synthetic oil or Castrol Syntec™ 5W-50 oil. DO NOT use conventional oils.

5.Reinstall the reservoir cap.

Maintenance

Cleaning the Battery and Cables

1.Remove the hydraulic oil reservoir mounting hardware (C, Figure 21) and move the reservoir

(D) forward to expose the battery.

2.Disconnect the cables from the battery, negative (black) cable first (B).

3.Clean the battery terminals and cable ends with a wire brush until shiny.

4.Reinstall the battery and reattach the battery cables, positive (red) cable first (A).

5.Coat the cable ends and battery terminals with petroleum jelly or non-conducting grease.

6.Reposition the oil reservoir and secure in place with the hardware previously removed.

WARNING

Be careful when handling the battery. Avoid spilling electrolyte. Keep flames and sparks away from the battery.

When removing or installing battery cables, disconnect the negative cable FIRST and reconnect it LAST. If not done in this order, the positive terminal can be shorted to the frame by a tool.
