BATTERY FLUID LEVEL CHECK
WARNING!
Protect body parts (eyes, hair, hands, etc.) properly, when performing battery check and cleaning procedures.
Engage the parking brake (13, Fig. E).
Turn off the engine, by turning the ignition key (24, Fig. D) counterclockwise, to the end of stroke, then remove it.
Open the left side upper and lower lids (9 and 11, Fig. G) by disengaging the fasteners (10 and 12) with the supplied key.
Check the electrolyte level in the battery (34, Fig. F) and, if necessary, top up with distilled water.
If necessary, clean the battery.
Check the battery terminal connections for oxidation.
Close the left side upper and lower lids (11 and 9, Fig. G) by engaging the fasteners (10 and 12) with the supplied key.
BRAKE FLUID LEVEL CHECK
Engage the parking brake (13, Fig. E).
Turn the ignition key (24, Fig. D) to OFF position and remove it.
Check the brake system fl uid level in the tank (1, Fig. AB). The level must be at 0.4 in (1 cm) from the tank fi ller neck. If
necessary, top up using the same type of fl uid that is in the line.
Type of fl uid used: DOT4.
REVERSE GEAR BUZZER SENSOR CHECK
Check that, when the machine moves in reverse, the relevant buzzer sounds.
If necessary, perform the adjustment according to the instructions in the Service Manual.
TIRE PRESSURE CHECK
Engage the parking brake (13, Fig. E).
Turn off the engine, by turning the ignition key (24, Fig. D) counterclockwise, to the end of stroke, then remove it.
The tire pressure should be as follows:
Front tires: 72.5 psi (5.0 Bar)
Rear tires: 72.5 psi (5.0 Bar)
SUCTION INLET AND SKIRT HEIGHT AND OPERATION CHECK
Preliminary operations
Engage the parking brake (13, Fig. E).
Lift the suction inlet (17, Fig. G) according to the procedure shown in the relevant paragraph.
Turn off the engine, by turning the ignition key (24, Fig. D) counterclockwise, to the end of stroke, then remove it.
Suction inlet wheel check
Check that the three wheels (1, Fig. AC) of the suction inlet are in good conditions and turn freely (they must not be bent/
misshapen because of bumps or excessive pressure, etc.). Check also that the rubber thickness (2) is not lower than some
millimeter.
If necessary replace the wheels (1) (see the procedure in the Service Manual).
Sliding panel check
Check that the main sliding panel (3, Fig. AC) and the front sliding panels (4) and (5) are in good conditions and that their
thickness (6) is not lower than 0.2 in (5 mm), otherwise replace them (see the procedure in the Service Manual).
It is important to replace the sliding panels (3), (4), (5) when they are not completely worn, to avoid damaging the relevant
mounting screws and making them diffi cult to remove.
Replace the sliding panels (3), (4), (5) as a unit, to avoid steps in the union areas (7), caused by different levels of wear.
