Inspection - MULTIQUIP FS2 Parts And Operation Manual

Hydrostatic Transmission - An EATON® Model 7 hydrostatic
transmission (Figure 9) provides the power for the saw's
propulsion system. The transmission drives a sprocket that directly
connects the rear axle assembly via a drive chain. The " no load "
forward/reverse speeds are approximately 80 ft/min (FS2SP
models only).
Figure 9. 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:
General Motors Dextron B
Ford MM2C-33F
Ford M2C-41A
International harvester Hy-Tran Fluids
Figure 10. 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.

NOTE
Battery - The 12-Volt DC battery (Figure 11) is shipped dry, and
will require a proper electrolyte level for operation (electric start
models only).
Figure 11. Battery
When servicing of the battery is required perform the following:
A face shield and rubber gloves should be worn while
handling and servicing battery's electrolyte.
Disconnect battery terminal clamps, and remove the battery
from the saw when servicing is required.
DO NOT overfill the battery.
WARNING!
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 non-
compliance to safety handling instructions.
WARNING!
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.
