I. PREPARATION
B. Assembly
Norton concrete saws are shipped partially assembled to protect parts of the saw
which are subject to damage in transit. To prepare the saw for operation the
following procedure is required.
1. Inspect the saw for shipping damage. If any damage is found, contact the
shipper immediately and file a freight claim. The Norton Company is not
responsible for any freight-related damages.
2. Remove the saw from the pallet.
3. Place the one handle bars into each of the Handle Bar Retaining Hole
located on the rear left and rear right hand sides of the console. NOTE:
Never lift the saw by the Handle Bars.
4. Insure that the On/Off key is in the OFF position.
5. Remove the rear console cover and check the Battery for Electrolytes
NOTE: Batteries are shipped with out Electrolytes.
Warning: The electrolyte is sulfuric acid. Read and observe all
instructions and safety precautions on container. Wear
safety goggles while handling and pouring the electrolyte.
The electrolyte should be added to the battery in an area
where running water is quickly available for rinsing, should it
come in contact with the body. Before disposing of the container, empty
and rinse thoroughly with water.
6. Attach the Red Battery Cable to the Positive Battery Terminal and attach
the Black Battery Cable to the Negative Battery Terminal.
7. Reattach the Rear Console Cover.
8. Make sure the hydraulic pump is filled with fluid (See section on hydraulic
pumps).
9. Check the engine oil. The engine has been filled with oil and test run at the
factory and should not require the addition of oil. Oil capacity of crankcase
is 6.4 U.S. quarts (6.1 liters).
10. Fill the fuel tank with Diesel fuel. NOTE: Units are shipped with out fuel.
11. Attach the Muffler and Muffler Retaining Clamp.
Read and understand the remaining sections of this Owners Manual.
NOTE: Do not install the blade until it is time to use the saw. ANSI
regulations prohibit the transportation of any concrete saw with the
blade installed.
