Servicing the Battery

Service Interval: Every 50 hours—Check the
battery-fluid level (every 30 days if
in storage).
Every 50 hours—Check the battery cable
connections.
DANGER
Battery electrolyte contains sulfuric acid,
which is fatal if consumed and causes severe
burns.
• Do not drink electrolyte or allow it to
contact your skin, eyes or clothing. Wear
safety glasses to shield your eyes and
rubber gloves to protect your hands.
• Fill the battery where clean water is always
available for flushing the skin.
•
Always keep the battery clean and fully charged.
•
If the battery terminals are corroded, clean them
with a solution of 4 parts water and 1 part baking
soda.
•
Apply a light coating of grease to the battery
terminals to prevent corrosion.
•
Maintain the battery electrolyte level.
•
Keep the top of the battery clean by washing it
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
cap while cleaning.
•
Ensure that the battery cables are kept tight on the
terminals to provide good electrical contact.
•
Maintain the cell electrolyte level with distilled or
demineralized water. Do not fill the cells above the
bottom of the fill ring inside each cell.
•
If you store the machine in a location where
temperatures are extremely high, the battery runs
down more rapidly than if the machine is stored in
a location where temperatures are cool.

Maintenance

Inspecting the Tires

Service Interval: Every 100 hours
Front tires air pressure specification: 220 kPa (32
psi)
Rear tires air pressure specification: 124 kPa (18
psi)
Operating accidents, such as hitting curbs, can
damage a tire or rim and also disrupt wheel alignment,
so inspect the tire condition after an accident.
Important:
Check the tire pressure frequently
to ensure proper inflation. If the tires are not
inflated to the correct pressure, the tires will wear
prematurely and may cause 4-wheel drive to bind.
Figure 53 is an example of tire wear caused by
under-inflation.

Figure 54 is an example of tire wear caused by
over-inflation.
