Parts & Maintenance manual.
1. Park the unit on a flat, level surface. Fully lower the
attachments to the ground, engage parking brake, stop
the engine, and remove key from ignition switch.
2. Grease and lubricate all points if required. To prevent
fires, wash the unit after each use.
a. Use only fresh water for cleaning your equipment.
Note: Use of salt water or effluent water has been
known to encourage rust and corrosion of metal parts
resulting in premature deterioration or failure.
Damage of this nature is not covered by the factory
warranty.
b. Do not use high pressure spray.
c.
Do not spray water directly at the instrument panel,
or any electrical components.
d. Do not spray water into the cooling air intake or the
engine air intake.
Note: Do not wash a hot or running engine. Use
compressed air to clean the engine and radiator fins.
e. Clean the tires thoroughly. Check tire pressure.
f.
Clean radiator and oil cooler passages using
compressed air (30 psi (2 BAR) maximum).
3. Fill unit’s fuel tank at the end of each operating day to
within 1 in., (25 mm) below the filler neck.
Diesel Engine - Use clean, fresh, #2 low or ultra low
sulfur diesel fuel. Minimum Cetane Rating 45.
Gasoline Engine - Use clean, fresh, unleaded
gasoline, 85 octane minimum.
4. Handle fuel with care - it is highly flammable. Use an
approved container, the spout must fit inside the fuel
filler neck. Avoid using cans and funnels to transfer
fuel.
a. Never remove the fuel cap from the fuel tank, or add
fuel, when the engine is running, or while the engine
is hot.
b. Do not smoke when handling fuel. Never fill or drain
the tank indoors.
c.
Never overfill or allow the tank to become empty.
Do not spill fuel. Clean any spilled fuel immediately.
d. Never handle or store fuel containers near an open
flame or any device that may create sparks and
ignite the fuel or fuel vapors.
5. Store fuel according to local, state, or federal
ordinances and recommendations from your fuel
supplier.
6. Inspect hydraulic hoses and tubes daily. Look for wet
hoses or oil spots and replace worn or damaged hoses
and tubes before operating the machine.
7. After engine has cooled, check coolant level.
Radiator
should be full and recovery bottle should be up to the cold
mark.
8. Park machine in designated area. Engage parking
brake and remove key. Do not part
equipment near an
open flame or spark which could ignite fuel or fuel vapors.
Place key in a secure location to prevent unauthorized
use of equipment.
9. Check the engine oil and hydraulic oil at the start and
end of each day. If the oil level is low, remove the oil filler
cap, and add oil as required. Do not overfill.
WARNING
To prevent serious injury from hot, high pressure oil,
never use your hands to check for oil leaks, use paper or
cardboard.
Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can have
sufficient force to penetrate skin. If fluid is injected into
the skin, it must be surgically removed within a few hours
by a doctor familiar with this form of injury or gangrene
may result.
WARNING
To prevent serious bodily injury from hot coolant or
steam blow-out, never attempt to remove the radiator
cap while the engine is running. Stop the engine and wait
until it is cool. Even then, use extreme care when
removing the cap.
CAUTION
Do not pour cold water into a hot radiator. Do not operate
engine without a proper coolant mixture. Install cap and
tighten securely.
