Original instructions for use

5.5.2 Draining

1. Run the machine at variable speeds for 10-20

minutes to heat up the transmission oil.

2. Position the machine completely horizontally.

3. Pull out both disengagement levers according to

fig. 6.

4. Place one container under the rear axle and one

under the front axle.

5. Open the oil reservoir by removing the cover.

See 9:R.

Only a 3/8” square drive may be used

for the oil plug. Other tools will damage

the plug.

6. Remove the oil plug from the rear axle. Clean

the hole and use a 3/8” square drive. See figure

11.

7. Remove 2 drain plugs from the front axle. Use

a 12 mm socket. Allow the oil in the front axle

and pipes to run out. See fig. 12.

8. Check that the gaskets on the drain plugs of the

front axle are intact. See fig. 12. Reinstall the

plugs. Tightening torque: 15-17 Nm.

The oil plug will be damaged if it is

tightened more to than 5 Nm.

9. Check that the gasket on the oil plug of the rear

axle is intact. See fig. 11:Y. Reinstall in the rear

axle. Tighten the oil plug to 5 Nm.

10.Draw out the oil from the deeper section of the

reservoir using an oil extractor. See fig. 13.

11.Dispose of the oil according to local regula-

tions.

5.5.3 Filling

The engine must never be run when the

rear clutch release lever is pushed in

and the front clutch release lever is

pulled out.

This will damage the front axle seals.

1.Fill the oil reservoir with the new oil.

If the engine is run indoors, exhaust ex-

traction equipment must be connected

to the engine’s exhaust pipe.

2. Check that the rear axle’s clutch release lever is

pulled out.

3. Start the engine. When the engine is started, the

front axle’s clutch release lever slides inwards

automatically.

4. Pull out the front axle’s clutch release lever.

NOTE! The oil is drawn into the system very

quickly. The reservoir must always be

topped up. Air must never be drawn in.

5. Set the accelerator pedal to the forward position

by blocking it using a wooden wedge. See fig.

14. Fill the oil reservoir by hand using new oil.

6. Run in the forward position for one minute.

7. Move the wooden wedge and set the accelerator

pedal to the reverse position. Continue filling

with oil.

8. Run in reverse mode for one minute.

9. Change driving direction once every minute as

above and continue filling with oil until the

bubbling in the reservoir stops.

10.Switch off the engine, install the oil reservoir

cover and close the engine cover.

11.Test drive for several minutes and adjust the oil

level in the reservoir.

5.6 BELT TRANSMISSIONS

After 5 hours of operation, check that all the belts

are intact and undamaged.

5.7 STEERING

The steering must be checked/adjusted after 5

hours of operation and thereafter after 100 hours of

operation.

5.7.1 Checks

Briefly turn the steering wheel back and forth.

There must be no mechanical clearance in the

steering chains.

5.7.2 Adjustment

Adjust the steering chains if required as follows:

1. Put the machine in the straight-ahead position.

2. Adjust the steering chains with the two nuts, lo-

cated under the central point. See fig. 16.

3. Adjust both nuts by the same amount until there

is no clearance.

4. Test drive the machine straight forwards and

check that the steering wheel is not off centre.

5. If the steering wheel is off centre, undo one nut

and tighten the other.

Do not over-tighten the steering chains. This will

cause the steering to become heavy and will in-

crease wear on the steering chains.

5.8 BATTERY

If acid comes into contact with the eyes

or skin, this can cause serious injuries.

If any part of the body has come into

contact with acid, rinse immediately

with copious amounts of water and seek

medical assistance as soon as possible.

The battery is a valve-regulated battery with 12 V

nominal voltage. The battery fluid does not need to

and cannot be checked or topped up. The only

maintenance that is required is charging, for exam-

ple after extended storage.
