MAINTENANCE

LUBRICATION

REAR CASTERS

The rear casters each have one grease fitting on
the caster swivel. Lubricate the caster with a
grease gun containing Lubriplate EMB grease
(TENNANT part no. 01433--1) every 100 hours of
machine operation.

TRANSAXLE

Check the transaxle lubricant level every
1000 hours of operation by removing one of the
orange filler plugs. If needed, add SAE 90 weight
gear lubricant.

BATTERIES

The batteries are unique in that they hold their
power for long periods of time. The lifetime of the
batteries is limited by the number of charges the
batteries receive. To get the most life from the
batteries, charge them when all the battery
discharge indicator segments shut off (20%
charge left). Use an automatic charger with the
proper rating for the batteries.
Periodically clean the top surface of the batteries
and the terminals, and check for loose
connections. Use a strong solution of baking soda
and water. Brush the solution sparingly over the
battery tops, terminals, and cable clamps. Do not
allow any baking soda solution to enter the
batteries. Use a wire brush to clean the terminal
posts and the cable connectors. After cleaning,
apply a coating of clear battery post protectant to
the terminals and the cable connectors. Keep the
tops of the batteries clean and dry.
