Belt Maintenance

Check the condition and tension of the alternator belt
after the first day of operation and every 100 operating
hours thereafter.
Tensioning the Alternator
Belt
1. Open the hood.
2. Check the tension of the alternator belt by
depressing it (Figure

The belt should deflect 11 mm (7/16 inch). If
the deflection is incorrect, proceed to step 3. If
correct, continue operation.
3. Loosen the bolt securing the brace to the engine
(Figure 66), the bolt securing the alternator to
the brace and the pivot bolt.
4. Insert a pry bar between the alternator and the
engine and pry out on the alternator.
5. When you achieve the proper tension, tighten

Hydraulic System
Maintenance

Hydraulic System Safety

•
Seek immediate medical attention if fluid is injected
into skin. Injected fluid must be surgically removed
within a few hours by a doctor.
•
Ensure that all hydraulic-fluid hoses and lines are
in good condition and all hydraulic connections
and fittings are tight before applying pressure to
the hydraulic system.
•
Keep your body and hands away from pinhole
leaks or nozzles that eject high-pressure hydraulic
fluid.
•
Use cardboard or paper to find hydraulic leaks.
•
Safely relieve all pressure in the hydraulic system
before performing any work on the hydraulic
system.
Checking the Hydraulic
Lines and Hoses
Service Interval: Before each use or daily
Check the hydraulic lines and hoses for leaks, kinked
lines, loose mounting supports, wear, loose fittings,
weather deterioration, and chemical deterioration.
Make all necessary repairs before operating.

Checking the Hydraulic
Fluid
Service Interval: Before each use or daily
The reservoir is filled at the factory with high-quality
hydraulic fluid. The best time to check the hydraulic
oil is when the fluid is cold. The machine should be in
its transport configuration.
1. Park the machine on a level surface, lower the
cutting units, engage the parking brake, shut off
the engine, and remove the key.
2. Clean the area around the filler neck and cap of
the hydraulic tank
