Section D Operating Procedures - JackRabbit 30 Manual

Prior to operation the following items must be checked and/or adjusted for safe operation,
and to avoid unnecessary wear and stoppages.
1. Check engine air filter See Engine Air Filter Maintenance Instructions Pages
15 – 16.
2. Check the engine oil level and add oil if low. See Maintenance Materials
Specifications Page 6.
3. Check engine fan belt. Tighten if loose. See Engine Maintenance Manual for proper
tension.
4. Check engine cooling air intake. Make sure it is clean and unobstructed. Clean with
high pressure air if dirty.
5. Check battery connections. Clean terminals if they are corroded.
6. Check the hydraulic oil level. Add oil if level is below bottom sight gauge (Bullet
Type).
7. Check fuel level and fill if low.
8. Check tension of both conveyor belts on elevator. Also check both WoodChuck
conveyor belts if elevator is equipped with the WoodChuck option. All conveyor
belts should be tightened if loose. Check tension of WoodChuck conveyor chain.
Chain should be reasonable tight (No sags in chain).
9. Start engine (warm up 3 – 4 minutes) at idle.
If the Elevator is equipped with a REMOTE CONTROL system check the
WARNING HORN operation. DO NOT use the remote control system if the
warning horn does not function when the remote control is used to start the belts.
10. Turn on elevator conveyor belts (WoodChuck Option OFF). Both horizontal and
incline conveyor belts must move freely. If they don't move freely STOP engine
and free belt or belts that do not move. Turn on WoodChuck. Check belts making
sure they move freely.
11. After conveyor belts run smoothly at low speed check each belt. Make sure they
track evenly on both head shaft and tail shaft pullies. Adjust belts if they do not
track evenly or if they are loose. They must carry a full load without slipping.
Caution: Do not over tighten WoodChuck conveyor belts. See Conveyor Belt
Adjustments Instructions Page 17.
