Adjusting The Belt; Air Intake And Cooling Fins; Rear Axle; Checking The Axle Oil Level - Cushman Refresher FS2 Owner's Manual

Adjusting the Belt

1. Loosen the starter/generator pivot bolt.
2. While holding the lower adjusting nut with a wrench, loosen the upper jam nut with another wrench. Move the
lower nut up or down the adjustment bolt until correct belt tension is achieved.
3. Hold the lower nut in place and tighten the upper jam nut against it.
4. Tighten the starter/generator pivot bolt.

AIR INTAKE AND COOLING FINS

Keep the engine cooling compo-
nents clean to reduce risk of over-
heating and the possible ignition of
accumulated debris.
Dirt and debris can clog the engine air cooling system. Allow
the engine to cool and use the following guidelines after
every off-road use:
• Check for a build up of dirt and debris in the air intake and
cooling fins.
• Clean the areas shown to prevent engine damage.
• Make sure the linkages, springs and controls are clean.
• Make sure the area around the muffler is free of any com-
bustible material.
Regular maintenance of the cooling system is required to ensure an adequate supply of air to the cooling fins. Com-
pressed air can be used for routine cooling system maintenance.
Clean the cooling system at the intervals indicated in the SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE CHART on page 46.

REAR AXLE

The rear axle has a oil level check/fill plug located on the driver side at the rear
of the housing. Unless leakage of axle oil is evident, an annual check is suffi-
cient.
Change the axle oil at the intervals indicated in the SCHEDULED MAINTE-
NANCE CHART on page 46. The drain plug is located at the bottom of the rear
axle housing.

Checking the Axle Oil Level

Tools
• Socket, 13 mm
• Ratchet
• Funnel
1. Clean the area around the check/fill plug.
2. Remove the plug. The correct axle oil level is just below the bottom of the
threaded hole.
3. If axle oil is low, slowly add oil with a funnel until it starts to seep from the check/fill hole. Install the plug.

AIR FILTER

Inspect and replace the air filter cartridge at the intervals indi-
cated in the SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE CHART on
page 46.
NOTICE: The filter is a dry filter. Do not apply oil.
1. Unlatch the cover to access the air filter cartridge.
2. Remove the filter from the housing.
3. Inspect the cartridge.
Using compressed air to clean the fil-
ter cartridge will damage the filter which can cause engine damage.
