3. Drive forward and reverse, check for proper opera-
tion.
4. Check that drive brake holds when machine is
driven up a hill, not to exceed rated gradeability, and
stopped.
5. Steer left and right. Check for proper operation.
6. Check fluid level on hydraulic oil reservoir. Refer to
the Lubrication Chart.
2.6 TORQUE REQUIREMENTS
The Torque Chart consists of standard torque values
based on bolt diameter and grade, also specifying dry
and wet torque values in accordance with recommended
shop practices. This chart is provided as an aid to the
operator in the event he/she notices a condition that
requires prompt attention during the walk-around inspec-
tion or during operation until the proper service personnel
can be notified. The Service and Maintenance Manual
provides specific torque values and periodic maintenance
procedures with a listing of individual components. Utiliz-
ing this Torque Chart in conjunction with the preventive
maintenance procedures in the Service and Maintenance
Manual will enhance safety, reliability and performance of
the machine.
2.7 BATTERY CHARGING
At the end of the work day, the batteries should be
charged for the next days work. Position the Emergency
Stop switch to OFF. Prior to charging, be sure electrolyte
covers plates. Connect the battery charger to a properly
grounded receptacle using a suitable extension cord. Set
the battery charger timer switch, if equipped, for the
desired charging time. After charging, check the electro-
lyte level of the batteries and adjust accordingly. Add dis-
tilled water only to batteries. A fully charged battery will
have a specific gravity of between 1.260 - 1.275 on a
hydrometer.
WHEN ADDING DISTILLED WATER TO THE BATTERIES, A NON-
METALLIC CONTAINER AND/OR FUNNEL MUST BE USED. ADD
WATER ONLY TO LEVEL INDICATOR OR 0.95 CM (3/8 INCH)
ABOVE SEPARATORS.
NO OPEN FLAMES OR SMOKING WHEN CHARGING BATTERIES.
CHARGE BATTERIES ONLY IN A WELL VENTILATED AREA.
ENSURE THAT BATTERY ACID DOES NOT COME INTO CONTACT
WITH SKIN OR CLOTHING.
NOTE: Be sure to disconnect and store any extension cords
after charging batteries and before putting machine
into service.
To avoid electrolyte overflow, add distilled water to
batteries after charging.
