FS3SP CONCRETE SAW — INSPECTION
Hydrostatic Transmission - An EATON® Model 7 hydrostatic
transmission (Figure 9) provides the power for the saw's
propulsion system. The transmission drives a sprocket that directly
connects the rear axle assembly via a drive chain. The "
no load "
forward/reverse speeds are approximately 80 ft/min
1. The transmissioni is factory filled with approved fluid that has
a viscocity equivalent to SAE 20 W 20. SHould additional
servicing be required, the following oils are recommended:
General Motors Dextron B
Ford MM2C-33F
Ford M2C-41A
International Harvester Hy-Tran Fluids
NOTICE
DO NOT overfill the expansion tank. (See figure 10). Note the
level marks on the oil reservoir. It is essential to reference the
existing oil conditions (A) "cold" or (B) "hot" levels piror to
servicing. Overfilling the transmission with oil may cause the
seals to rupture, causing mechanical damage.
Battery - The 12-Volt DC battery (figure 11) is shipped dry, and
will require a proper electrolyte level for operation(electric start
models only).
When servicing of the batter is required perform the following:
■
A face shield and rubber gloves should be worn while
handleing and servicing battery's electrolyte.
■
Disconnect battery terminal clamps, and remove the
battery from the saw when servicing is required.
■
DO NOT overfill the battery.
Electrolyte is an acid and must be handled
with caution. Servicing instructions from the
electorlyte manufacturer must always be
followed to ensure saftey. Serious injury can
result from careless handling and non-
compliance to saftey handling instructions.
WARNING
WARNING
Overfilling the battery may cause the electrolyte to overflow
resulting in corrosion to nearby components. Immediately wash
off any spilled electrolyte(battery acid).
Additionally, when connecting the positive
(+) cable to the battery's positive (+)
terminal post, DO NOT allow contact of
the wrench or any metallic part to come in
contact with the battery's negative (-)
terminal post. This may result in an
exlectrical short circuit or an explosion
NOTICE
Use only distilled water in the battery. Tap water can reduce the
operating life of the battery.
