Check the Battery

Proper battery condition is essential to good
engine performance and operational safety.
Improper fluid levels or damaged cables and
connections can result in engine component
damage and hazardous conditions.
Engine fuels are combustible.
Replace the fuel filter in an open,
well-ventilated area away from
heaters, sparks, flames and
lighted tobacco. Always have an
approved fire extinguisher within
easy reach.
Batteries contain acid. Avoid
spilling or contacting battery acid.
Neutralize battery acid spills with
baking soda and water.
1 Put on protective clothing and eye wear.
2 Be sure that the battery cable connections are
free of corrosion.
3 Be sure that the battery hold downs and cable
connections are tight.
4 Remove the battery vent caps and check the
specific gravity with a hydrometer.
5 Check the battery acid level. If needed,
replenish with distilled water to the bottom of
the battery fill tube. Do not overfill.
6 Install the vent caps.

Check the Hydraulic Tank Filter
Condition Indicator
Maintaining the hydraulic tank filter in good
condition is essential to good system performance
and safe machine operation. The filter condition
indicator will show when the hydraulic flow is
bypassing a clogged filter. If the filter is not
frequently checked and replaced, impurities
will remain in the hydraulic system and cause
component damage.
1 Start the engine from the platform controls.
2 Move the engine speed control switch to high
idle (rabbit symbol).
3 Inspect the filter condition indicator.
