Adjustments
Control Handles
The control handles do not require routine adjustment. Refer to the Service
Manual for the initial setup procedure.
Fuel Sender
The fuel sender, located on the fuel tank, sends a signal to the fuel gauge
indicating the amount of fuel in the fuel tank.
Check the fuel sender periodically to ensure that the mounting screws are
tight and that there is no fuel seepage around the gasket. If adjustment is
required, apply an RTV or gasket sealant around the gasket when restoring
the fuel sender.
Engine Speed Control
The throttle does not require routine adjustment. Refer to the Service Manual
for the initial setup procedure.
The throttle lever friction pad pressure can be adjusted if the throttle lever
does not hold its position. Belleville washers and a lock nut on the throttle
lever are used for making this adjustment.
Foreign Material Removal
The loader should be cleared daily of dirt and other foreign materials in the
following areas:
•
around the rear link and lift cylinder
•
at the front of the loader
•
on the hitch, especially around the linkage
•
around the hydraulic oil level sight gauge
•
around the hydraulic oil reservoir breather
•
in the engine compartment
•
in the operator's compartment
The build-up of foreign materials in these areas can interfere with the
operation of the loader, cause component damage or become a fire hazard.
