STOW CUTTER 3 CE SAW — INSPECTION

Gasoline Check

WARNING

Motor fuels are highly flammable and can be dangerous if mishandled. DO NOT smoke while refueling. DO NOT attempt to refuel the saw if the engine is hot or running.

1.Remove the gasoline cap located on top of fuel tank.

2.Visually inspect to see if fuel level is low. If fuel is low, replenish with unleaded fuel.

3.When refueling, be sure to use a strainer for filtration. DO NOT top-off fuel. Wipe up any spilled fuel.

Hydrostatic Transmission (Self-Propelled models only) -

An EATON® Model 7 hydrostatic transmission (Figure 8) provides the power for the saw's propulsion system. The transmission drives a sprocket that directly connects the spline drive to the rear wheels. The no load forward/reverse speeds are approximately 24.4 m/min. (80 ft/min.).

The transmission is factory filled with approved hydraulic fluid that has a viscosity equivalent to SAE 20W-20. Should additional servicing be required, the following hydraulic fluids are recommended:

zGeneral Motors Dextron B

zFord MM2C-33F

zFord M2C-41A

zInternational harvester Hy-Tran Fluids

CAUTION

DO NOT over fill the fluid reservoir (Figure 9). Note the level marks on the reservoir. It is essential to reference the existing oil conditions (A) cold or (B) hot prior to operating the saw. Overfilling the transmission with hydraulic fluid may cause the seals to rupture causing mechanical damage.
