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 80 ft/min.
Figure 8. Hydrostatic Transmission
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:
z General Motors Dextron B
z Ford MM2C-33F
z Ford M2C-41A
z International harvester Hy-Tran Fluids
Figure 9. Transmission Reservoir
DO NOT over fill the fluid reservoir (Figure 10). 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.
Battery (Self-Propelled models only) - The 12-volt DC battery
(Figure 10) is shipped dry, and will require a proper electrolyte
level for operation.
Figure 10. Battery
When servicing of the battery is required perform the following:
z A face shield and rubber gloves should be worn while
handling and servicing battery's electrolyte.
z Disconnect battery terminal clamps, and remove the battery
from the saw when servicing is required.
z DO NOT overfill the battery.
Electrolyte is an acid and must be handled
with caution. Servicing instructions from the
electrolyte manufacturer must ALWAYS be
followed to ensure safety. Serious injury can
result from careless handling and
noncompliance to safety handling instructions.
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 electrical short circuit
or an explosion.
Use only distilled water in the
battery. Tap water can reduce the
operating life of the battery.
