5. Slide the new belts over the fan and onto the pulleys.6. Adjust the belt tension (see page 4-22).7. Install the fan guard and engine cowling.Cleaning The Batteries
1. Mix a solution of baking soda and water, 1/4 pound (.11 kg) to a quart (.946 L) of water. Apply the solution with a bristle brush.2. Thoroughly rinse batteries and battery box with clean water.3. Apply grease to battery cable clamps and terminals and to all threads. BE CAREFUL TO KEEP ANY OF THE BAKING SODA FROM GETTING INTO BATTERY CELLS.Checking The Battery Electrolyte
The machine is equipped with maintenance-free batteries at the factory. These batteries do not have vent caps and the electrolyte level does not have to be checked. If a battery is replaced with a battery with vent caps, the following procedures for checking the electrolyte should be performed. 1. Check the specific gravity of the electrolyte in each cell.2. Maintain electrolyte level to base of each vent well. IN WARM WEATHER THE ELECTROLYTE LEVEL SHOULD BE CHECKED MORE FREQUENTLY DUE TO A MORE RAPID LOSS OF WATER FROM THE ELECTROLYTE.Checking The Conveyor Drive Chains
INADVERTENT STARTING OF THE ENGINE COULD CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY. SHUT THE ENGINE DOWN AND REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH.
Remove the chain guard and check both drive chains for signs of excessive wear and for proper tension. If the drive chains have an excessive amount of slack, adjust the tension as described below, then check the alignment of the sprockets by holding a straight edge or string across the faces of the sprockets. Adjust the alignment as necessary.Adjusting The Conveyor Drive Chains
INADVERTENT STARTING OF THE ENGINE COULD CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY. SHUT THE ENGINE DOWN AND REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH.
1. Remove the chain guard. 2. Loosen the secondary countershaft bearing jam nuts.3. Turn the adjusting bolts alternately and evenly until all slack is removed from the upper drive chain.4. Tighten the jam nuts. 5. Loosen the primary countershaft bearing jam nuts.6. Turn the adjusting bolts alternately and evenly until all slack is removed from the lower drive chain.7. Tighten the jam nuts.8. Install the chain guard.9. Check the tension of the conveyor drive belts and adjust as necessary.Checking The Conveyor Drive Belts
INADVERTENT STARTING OF THE ENGINE COULD CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY. SHUT THE ENGINE DOWN AND REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH.
Check the drive belts for signs of wear or fraying and replace any belts that show such signs. Also check and adjust the belt tension.Replace all belts in a set when one is worn. Single belts of similar size should not be used as a substitution for a matched set; premature belt wear can result because of belt length variation. All belts in a matched set are within .032 inch (.8 mm) of their specified center distances.New standard V-belts will stretch after the first few hours of operation. Run the conveyor for 15 seconds to set the belts then retighten them. Retighten the belts after 1/2 hour and again after
