SBM has always been concerned with producing the highest quality products possible. Our goal is to be an integrated part of our community, stewards of our environment, and providers to our local workforce.
The serial number placard is located on the left frame rail between the front bumper and the toolbox. 2. Safety 2.1 SBM Safety Statement Safety of the operators and bystanders is a main concern when developing and building new products. Designers and manufacturers include in as many safety features as possible. However, every year accidents occur in easily preventable circumstances, which could have been avoided by taking a little time with a more careful approach to handling the equipment.
If a method of operation not specifically recommended by SBM is used, you must satisfy yourself that it is safe. You should also ensure that the unit will not be damaged or be made unsafe by the methods that you choose.
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury. This signal word is limited to the most extreme situations. Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in serious injury or death. Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury.
Explosive Force Hazard (Tires) 2.4 General Operating Safety The performance and capabilities of your SBM AgTrk RS 260/300™ may exceed previous equipment you have owned. To successfully operate this equipment, you must first familiarize yourself with the contents of this manual, related OEM manuals, and all safety and warning decals.
2.4.6 Seat Belt Use Wear your seat belt when operating this equipment. Make sure that any passenger in the buddy seat is also wearing their seat belt. 2.4.7 Distracted Operation Hazard Do not wear headphones, operate a computer, notebook, cell phone, or any other device that might distract your attention when operating this equipment.
2.4.13 Damaged Parts Hazard Do not use this unit if it needs repair. If you believe the unit has a defect which could cause damage, injury, or death, you should immediately stop using the unit, and make any needed repairs before resuming operations.
Crush Hazard Make sure the unit is completely supported with suitable stands before removing a wheel assembly or working under the vehicle after it has been raised off the ground. High Pressure Hazard Always maintain the correct tire pressure. Do not inflate tires above the recommended pressures listed on the tire sidewalls.
High-Pressure Hazard Do not make any temporary repairs to the hydraulic lines, fittings, or hoses using tape, clamps, or adhesives. The hydraulic system operates under extremely high pressure and temporary repairs may fail suddenly and create a dangerous situation. Depressurizing the Hydraulic System Relieve pressure from the hydraulic system before removing hoses and/or connections.
Keep all sparks and open flames away from the batteries, as gas given off by electrolyte is explosive. Avoid contact with battery electrolyte. Wash any spilled electrolyte off your skin immediately, for at least 15 minutes. 1. To avoid injury or equipment damage, disconnect the battery ground cable (negative) before servicing any part of the electrical system.

Use Properly Rated Tools Use tools, jacks, and hoists that have the capacity for the job. Makeshift tools and procedures can create safety hazards. For loosening and tightening hardware, use the correct size tools. Crush Hazard Use support blocks or safety stands rated to support the load when changing tires or performing maintenance.
Do not attempt shortcuts. Dispose of Waste Properly Improperly disposing of waste can threaten the environment. Potentially harmful waste used with SBM equipment includes such items as oil, fuel, coolant, hydraulic fluid, filters, spray chemicals, and batteries. • Use leak proof containers when draining fluids.

side of the air cleaner cover. Replace the air filter when the restriction indicator shows the need. 2. Check the dust evacuator valve on the bottom of the air cleaner daily. Replace the valve if it is not closing and sealing properly. 7.6 Transmission Maintenance 7.6.1 Checking Transmission Fluid Level Check the transmission oil level every 10 operating hours.

To prevent damage to the transmission, the fluid level must be maintained above the COLD ADD mark and below the HOT FULL mark. The COLD ADD mark assures the fluid is above the charging pump suction port inside the transmission. This prevents charging pump cavitation which causes aeration of the fluid and erratic operation of the transmission.
5. Remove the dipstick and wipe it clean. 6. Reinsert the dipstick into the fill tube, pushing down until it stops, but still in its loose and unscrewed position. 7. Remove the dipstick and observe the fluid level. a. COLD CHECK: If the fluid on the dipstick is within the COLD CHECK band, the level is satisfactory.

5. Press the ↑ (Upshift) and ↓ (Downshift) arrows simultaneously on the keypad of the shift selector. a. The display on the transmission shift selector should now indicate fluid level status by sequentially flashing the fluid level information two characters at a time to the select and monitor digital displays.
Invalid for Display Sequence Select Monitor Description Fluid (oil) Level Check Mode The dashes are followed by a numerical which is a fault code that indicates conditions that are not proper to receive the fluid level information or there is a system malfunction. 6.
7.11 Pneumatic System The SBM AgTrk RS260/300 is equipped with an onboard air compressor, driven by the engine. It supplies compressed air to the brakes and automatic ladder. There are 2 tanks in the system, located on the right side of the vehicle, inside the frame.
7.12.2 Wheel Torque Specifications 1. Each wheel stud must be tightened to 450 ft-lbs. using the sequence listed below. 2. Tighten each wheel stud nut to 50 ft-lbs. following the pattern above. 3. Verify the alignment of the wheel on the hub. 4.
2. Remove the knob that holds the filter in place. 3. Replace with a new filter and re-install the retaining knob and filter shroud. 4. Replace the cover and secure with the retaining knob. Certain applications require specific pressurizer filters to meet safety requirements.
7.17 Powdercoat Finish Maintenance The recommended method for cleaning your powder-coated surface is to use warm water and mild soap. We do not recommend using chemical cleaners such as acetone, mineral spirits, or lacquer thinners. For difficult to clean areas, we recommend using a soft cloth, sponge, or soft bristled brush.
Do not use the vehicle for towing on a roadway. 8.2 Bystanders Stay Clear Beware of physical surroundings, especially bystanders, and children. Walk around the vehicle before entering the cab. Use a spotter to watch the area and make sure no one enters your blind spots.
o Watch for overhead obstructions and side clearances while transporting. o Always operate equipment in a manner that provides maximum visibility. Make allowances for increased length and weight of the equipment when making turns, stopping, etc. 8.4 Trailer Hauling 1. Be sure product bed/tank is empty. Do not transport with product in the bed or tank. 2.
9.2 Preparing For Storage The end of each operating season is a good time to replace and repair any components that are worn or not functioning properly. This will ensure that the unit will be ready to operate the next season and will save costly downtime.
