9. Charge the battery at two and a half amps for ten
hours or until all cells are gassing freely and the
specific gravity is constant over three 30 minute
intervals.
10.Immediately after charging, check electrolyte level. If
low, add distilled water to bring cell up to required
level.
11.Replace caps finger tight, wash off and dry battery.
12.Reinstall battery into unit and connect positive (+)
cable first, then negative (–) cable.
Jump Starting
The unit used for jump starting should have a 12 volt
battery with at least 500 cold cranking amperes, and a
negatively grounded system.
1. Ensure battery is not frozen. If the fluid is frozen,
remove battery from unit and allow it to thaw before
charging.
2. Connect the positive (+) jumper cable to the positive
terminal of the discharged battery.
3. Connect the other end of the same jumper cable to
the positive (+) terminal of the booster battery.
4. Connect one end of the second jumper cable to the
negative (–) terminal of the booster battery.
5. Make the final jumper cable connection to the engine
block or the furthest ground point away from the
discharged battery.
6. Start engine (refer to Operation Section). If engine
will not start after several tries, unit or battery may
need service.
7. After engine starts, leave cables connected for one to
two minutes.
8. Disconnect cables in reverse order.
9. Operate unit as normal to charge battery.
ADJUSTMENTS
Steering Control Neutral Adjustment
If the unit has excessive creep when the control levers
are in neutral, adjust as follows. (Figure 14)
1. If hydraulic system is cold, run unit for a minimum of
five minutes, then shut off unit.
2. Make sure both control levers are in neutral. Raise
hood.
3. With the unit up to and facing a wall, jack the unit up
so that both drive wheels are off the ground.
4. Have someone depress center of seat to actuate
seat switch.
5. Start the engine and run at about half throttle or
faster. Release parking brake.
6. Move the control levers from Forward to Reverse
several times to make sure controls are free and
check Neutral adjustment. If binding is found,
correct it.
7. Minor adjustments may be made by simply adjusting
the stop screw which contacts the lever on the pump.
The screw may be turned in or out to bring the unit
into neutral.
8. If major adjustment is needed, it is best to remove
the front ball joint from the bottom of the control
