5.3 OPERATOR MAINTENANCE

Battery

The OEM batteries are AGM sealed (VRLA) type so the electro-
lyte level cannot be serviced, however the battery terminals
should be checked periodically for corrosion and tightness. The
batteries are located under the top rear hood covers on each
side of the Ground Control Station.

Tires and Wheels

Tire Wear and Damage

Inspect tires periodically for wear or damage. Tires with worn
edges or distorted profiles require replacement. Tires with sig-
nificant damage in the tread area or side wall, require immediate
evaluation before replacing the machine into service.

Wheel and Tire Replacement

Replacement wheels must have the same diameter and profile
as the original. Replacement tires must be the same size and
rating as the tire being replaced.

Wheel Installation

It is extremely important to apply and maintain proper wheel
mounting torque.

WHEEL LUG NUTS MUST BE INSTALLED AND MAINTAINED AT THE
PROPER TORQUE TO PREVENT LOOSE WHEELS, BROKEN LUG NUTS,
AND POSSIBLE SEPARATION OF WHEEL FROM THE AXLE. BE SURE
TO USE ONLY THE LUG NUTS MATCHED TO THE CONE ANGLE OF THE
WHEEL.
