Checking Battery Electrolyte
Level
1.
Refer to Preparing Grader for Maintenance on
page 5-6 and park grader.
2. Unhook battery box locks and remove cover
(Figure 5-7).
NOTE: If water is added to batteries during freezing
weather the battery must be charged
immediately to prevent freezing. Charge
battery using a battery charger or by
running the engine.
3. If using serviceable batteries, fill each cell to the
specified range with distilled water. Do not overfill.
4. Check battery charge and charging rate.
5. Shut down grader by turning ignition switch key
(Figure 3-3) counterclockwise to the OFF position.
6. Using a multimeter, check the battery charge by
placing the positive (red) multimeter lead on the
positive (+) battery terminal and the negative (black)
multimeter lead on the grounded (-) battery terminal.
With the multimeter set at the 12 VDC setting,
the battery must show a charge of at least 12
volts. If necessary, charge the battery or perform
a load test.
7.
With operator in the operator's seat, start the engine
and check the battery charge level. The multimeter
should read at least 13.5 volts. If multimeter does
not indicate the minimum charge, check the grader
charging system.
TIRE MAINTENANCE
Explosive separation of tire and rim
parts can cause serious injury or death.
Never cut or weld on inflated tire/rim
assembly. Heat from welding can cause an
increase in pressure and may result in tire
explosion.
NOTE: Use proper tire mounting equipment and
experienced personnel for tire repair
service. If equipment and qualified
personnel are not available, contact a
qualified repair service company.

NOTE: Carefully inspect tires and rim assemblies
that have been run flat or severely under-
inflated before inflating tire. The tire and
rim may be damaged. Contact the local
distributor or qualified repair service
company to inspect the tire and rim.
NOTE: Use an accurate gauge to check tire
pressure. Use a gauge with 1-PSI (0.07 bar,
6.9 kPa) graduations.
Filling Tire with Air
1.
Refer to Preparing Grader for Maintenance on
page 5-6 and park grader.
2. Shut off air supply to air hose.
3. Attach air hose lock on air chuck to tire valve stem
