Side & Front:
Loosen front lower cover bolts with a 9/16" wrench. Do not
remove unless removing of the lower front cover is also
desired. Remove the 2 top bolts on each side with the same
9/16" wrench. The nut is captive on the frame, so only one
wrench is needed on all cover bolts. The right side cover will
require removing the bolts next to the operators station with
a ½" wrench. See figures 25, 26, 27.

Daily Maintenance Checks
(Every 8 hours of operation)
Checking Engine Oil:
Engine oil and fill are under the rear knee pad
panel. With unit on a level surface fully insert
dipstick and remove to read. The level should
be within the hatch area. Use oil recommended
in Kohler engine manual or the same 5w-40 Full
Synthetic Motor Oil used in the Hydraulic System.
Figure 28: Dipstick
Checking Hydraulic Oil:
Observe markings on the side of the hydraulic reservoir
and maintain levels between "MIN" and "MAX". Use SAE
5W-40 oil such as Mobil DELVAC 1 ESP (Diesel Engine Oil). If
hydraulic oil dash light stays lit refill fluid immediately or
discontinue use of machine until fluid can be refilled.
Figure 29: Hydraulic fluid level
NOTE: Operating unit with low levels of hydraulic fluid for
long periods of time will damage the hydraulic pumps and
will not be covered under warranty.
Fuel:
Use clean, fresh regular unleaded gasoline with 87 octane
or higher. Never use gasoline containing methanol or
gasoline containing more than 10% ethanol because the
fuel system may be damaged.
Tire Pressures:
Maintain front tires at 25 psi (172 kpa) and rear tires at 20 psi
(138 kpa).
After Operation:
•
Remove any build up or debris from under/around the
chassis of the ABI Force. This is best done with an air
hose. If using water do not direct any water under the top
of the dash, wiring damage may result.
•
With use of Optional Attachment After using seeder/
fertilizer spreader: Blow any excess seed or fertilizer that
may be on the ABI Force off with an air hose. Water may
accelerate corrosion.
