catching fire from engine overheating due to a number of factors.
1. As Need Be; check air pressure... (maintenance, page 7-97)
This is best done prior to work day when the tires are cold, not hot. If inflating tires, use a clip-on air chuck
with a gauge, remote valve and a hose long enough to allow you to stand to one side and NOT in front of or
over the wheel assembly. Keep others out of the "Danger Area". Never inflate a tire beyond the maximum
allowable pressure printed on the tire. It is recommended that any and all tire service, first contact TRC
where we may get a qualified tire mechanic to service the tires and rims of this machine.
2. Every 10-hours of operation; check Engine Oil Level.
Place the machine on level ground. Shut down the engine and Allow time for the oil to drain down into the
pan. Push the dipstick completely in and then pull the dipstick out. Inspect the dipstick. The oil level should
be at the maximum oil capacity. Operator's Manual, page 7-27, under Maintenance. Do not add any oil -
