A.3.3 Servicing

Always keep the vehicle clean. Eliminate all traces of mud, dirt or grease. Dirty equipment wears more and
makes servicing diffi cult. Use only appropriate and nonfl ammable cleaning products. Avoid spraying directly
on electrical components.
Routine servicing and inspection of this vehicle must be carried out by a qualifi ed person and according
to the recommendations contained in the chapter «General maintenance and servicing». For all questions
concerning procedures and specifi cations, speak to your Ransomes distributor.
Except with the written authorisation and agreement of Ransomes Jacobsen Limited, no modifi cation
affecting the original design may be made to the vehicle.
Such modifi cations render invalid the warranty and render the owner and/or user liable in the case of an
accident.
Before carrying out servicing or a repair on the vehicle:
1. The vehicle must be parked in a clean state and disengaged. The emergency stop button must be
pressed, the parking brake locked and the forward-reverse switch in the neutral position.
2. The batteries must be disconnected, also the charger plug and the starter key removed
After having carried out servicing or repair operations:
1. Replace all covers that have been removed
2. Reconnect the batteries
3. Remove all chocks and or supports
4. Carry out a functional test on all controls in order to ensure their proper functioning. If the brake
parts have been removed, test the brakes before refi lling with hydraulic fl uid. Purge the circuit if
necessary and check the level. Carry out the checks once more
