4. Start the engine and rotate the cam hex in both
directions to determine the mid position of the
neutral span.
5. Tighten the locknut to secure adjustment.
6. Stop the engine.
7. Remove the support blocks and lower the
machine to the shop floor. Test drive the
machine to make sure it does not creep.
Adjusting The Parking Brake
Check adjustment every 200 hours.
1. Loosen the set screw securing the knob to the
parking brake lever.
2. Rotate the knob until a force of 41-68 Nm is

Battery Care
1. Battery electrolyte level must be properly
maintained and the top of the battery kept
clean. If the machine is stored in a location
where temperatures are extremely high, the
battery will run down more rapidly than if the
machine is stored in a location where
temperatures are cool.
2. Check the electrolyte level every 25 operating
hours or, if the machine is in storage, every 30

days.
3. Maintain cell level with distilled or
demineralized water. Do not fill cells above the
bottom of the split ring inside each cell. Install
the filler caps with vents pointing to the rear
(toward the fuel tank).
CAUTION
Wear safety goggles and rubber gloves when
working with electrolyte. Charge the battery
in a well-ventilated place so gases produced
while charging can dissipate. Since the gases
are explosive, keep open flames and electrical
sparks away from the battery; do not smoke.
Nausea may result if the gases are inhaled.
Unplug the charger from electrical outlet
before connecting to, or disconnecting,
charger leads from battery posts.
4. Keep the top of battery clean by washing
periodically with a brush dipped in ammonia or
bicarbonate of soda solution. Flush the top
surface with water after cleaning. Do not
remove the fill caps while cleaning.
5. Battery cables must be tight on terminals to
provide good electrical contact.
WARNING
Connecting cables to the wrong post could
result in personal injury and/or damage to the
electrical system.
6. If corrosion occurs at terminals, disconnect
cables—negative (–) cable first—and scrape the
clamps and terminals separately. Reconnect the
cables—positive cable first—and coat terminals
with petroleum jelly
7. Always disconnect battery cables—ground
cable (–) first—to prevent possible wiring
damage from short outs whenever working with
the electrical system.
