2 Connecting the Battery TC Models Only No Parts Required g228187 Procedure Figure 5 1. Insulator boot (positive battery cable) WARNING 2. Negative battery cable (black) Incorrectly routing the battery cable could damage the machine and cables, causing sparks. Sparks can cause the battery gasses to explode, resulting in personal injury. 4. • Always disconnect the negative battery cable (black) before disconnecting the positive battery cable (red). 5.
4 Burnishing the Brakes No Parts Required Procedure To ensure optimum performance of the brake system, burnish (break-in) the brakes before use. 1. Bring the machine up to full speed, apply the brakes to rapidly stop the machine without locking up the tires. 2. Repeat this procedure 10 times, waiting 1 minute between stops, to avoid overheating the brakes. Important: This procedure is most effective if the machine is loaded with 227 kg (500 lb).

Cargo-bed lever Controls Accelerator Pedal Become familiar with all the controls before you start the engine and operate the machine. Use the accelerator pedal (Figure 7) to vary the ground speed of the machine. Pressing down the accelerator pedal starts the engine. Pressing the pedal farther increases the ground speed.
Parking-Brake Lever The parking-brake lever is located between the seats (Figure 6 and Figure 7). Whenever you shut off the engine, engage the parking brake to prevent the machine from accidentally moving. To engage the parking brake, pull up the parking-brake lever. To disengage the parking brake, push the lever down. Choke Control The choke control is located below and to the right of the operator's seat. Use the choke to help start a cold engine by pulling the choke control outward (Figure 8).
Engine Oil-Pressure Light Fuel Gauge The engine oil-pressure light (Figure 9) warns you if the engine-oil pressure drops below a safe level to operate the engine. If the light comes on and remains lit, shut off the engine, and check the engine-oil level. Add oil to the engine if necessary; refer to Servicing the Engine Oil (page 33). The fuel gauge (Figure 10) is located on the fuel tank next to the filler cap, at the left side of the machine. The gauge displays the amount of fuel in the tank.

They are located beneath the hood (Figure 48). Note: Ensure that the positive and negative posts of the battery are aligned as shown in Figure 47. 2. 3. Secure the battery to the battery tray with the battery clamp, carriage bolt, and locknut (Figure 47).
Adjusting the Headlights Use the following procedure to adjust the headlight beam position whenever a headlight assembly is replaced or removed. 1. Park the machine on a level surface with the headlights approximately 7.6 m (25 ft) from a wall (Figure 50). 2. Measure the distance from the floor to the center of the headlight and make a mark on the wall at the same height. 3. Turn the key switch to the ON position, and turn on the headlights. 4. Take note of where the headlights aim on the wall.
Drive System Maintenance Maintaining the Tires Service Interval: Every 100 hours—Check the condition of the tires and rims. Every 100 hours—Torque the wheel-lug nuts. 1. Inspect the tires and rims for signs of wear and damage. Note: Operating accidents, such as hitting curbs, can damage a tire or rim and also disrupt wheel alignment, so inspect tire condition after an accident. g313199 2. Figure 51 Torque the wheel lug nuts to 108 to 122 N∙m (80 to 90 ft-lb). 1.
Adjusting the Front Wheel Alignment Adjusting the Front Wheel Toe-in Important: Before adjusting toe-in, ensure that the camber adjustment is as close to neutral as possible; refer to Adjusting the Camber (page 44). Service Interval: Every 100 hours/Yearly (whichever comes first)—Check the front wheel camber and toe-in. 1. Preparing to Adjust Camber or Toe-in 1. Check the tire pressure to ensure that the front tires are inflated to 82 kPa (12 psi). 2.
