The oil plug will be damaged if it is tightened more to than 5 Nm.

9.Check that the gasket on the oil plug of the rear axle is intact. See fig. 18:V. Reinstall in the rear axle. Tighten the oil plug to 5 Nm.

10.Draw out the oil from the deeper section of the reservoir using an oil extractor. See fig. 20.

11.Dispose of the oil according to local regula- tions.

5.8.3 Filling

The engine must never be run when the rear clutch release lever is pushed in and the front clutch release lever is pulled out.

This will damage the front axle seals.

1.Fill the oil reservoir with the new oil.

If the engine is run indoors, exhaust ex- traction equipment must be connected to the engine’s exhaust pipe.

2.Check that the rear axle’s clutch release lever is pulled out.

3.Start the engine. When the engine is started, the front axle’s clutch release lever slides inwards automatically.

4.Pull out the front axle’s clutch release lever.

NOTE! The oil is drawn into the system very quickly. The reservoir must always be topped up. Air must never be drawn in.

5.Set the accelerator pedal to the forward position by blocking it using a wooden wedge. See fig. 14. Fill the oil reservoir by hand using new oil.

6.Run in the forward position for one minute.

7.Move the wooden wedge and set the accelerator pedal to the reverse position. Continue filling with oil.

8.Run in reverse mode for one minute.

9.Change driving direction once every minute as above and continue filling with oil until the bubbling in the reservoir stops.

10.Switch off the engine, install the oil reservoir cover and close the engine cover.

11.Test drive for several minutes and adjust the oil level in the reservoir.

5.9 Belt transmissions

After 5 hours of operation, check that all the belts are intact and undamaged.

5.10Steering

The steering must be checked/adjusted after 5 hours of operation and thereafter after 100 hours of operation.

5.10.1Checks

Briefly turn the steering wheel back and forth. There must be no mechanical clearance in the steering chains.

5.10.2Adjustment

Adjust the steering chains if required as follows:

1.Put the machine in the straight-ahead position.

2.Adjust the steering chains with the two nuts, lo- cated under the central point. See fig. 22.

3.Adjust both nuts by the same amount until there is no clearance.

4.Test drive the machine straight forwards and check that the steering wheel is not off centre.

5.If the steering wheel is off centre, undo one nut and tighten the other.

Do not over-tighten the steering chains. This will cause the steering to become heavy and will in- crease wear on the steering chains.

5.11 Battery

If acid comes into contact with the eyes or skin, this can cause serious injuries. If any part of the body has come into contact with acid, rinse immediately with copious amounts of water and seek medical assistance as soon as possible.

The battery is a valve-regulated battery with 12 V nominal voltage. The battery fluid does not need to and cannot be checked or topped up. The only maintenance that is required is charging, for exam- ple after extended storage.

The battery must be fully charged be- fore being used for the first time. The battery must always be stored fully charged. If the battery is stored while discharged, serious damage will occur.

5.11.1 Charging with the engine

The battery can be charged using the engine’s gen- erator as follows:

1.Install the battery in the machine as shown be- low.

2.Place the machine outdoors or install an extrac- tion device for the exhaust fumes.

3.Start the engine according to the instructions in the user guide.

4.Allow the engine to run continuously for 45 minutes.

5.Stop the engine. The battery will now be fully charged.
