Before Operation Safety

General Safety
•
Never allow children or people who are not trained
or physically capable to safely operate or service
the machine. Local regulations may restrict the
age of the operator. The owner is responsible for
training all operators and mechanics.
•
Become familiar with the safe operation of the
equipment, operator controls, and safety signs.
•
Shut off the machine, remove the key, and wait
for all movement to stop before you leave the
operator's position. Allow the machine to cool
before adjusting, servicing, cleaning, or storing it.
•
Know how to stop and shut off the machine quickly.
•
Ensure that there are not more occupants (you and
your passenger(s)) than the number of handholds
equipped on the machine.
•
Check that all safety devices and decals are in
place. Repair or replace all safety devices and
replace all illegible or missing decals. Do not
operate the machine unless they are present and
functioning properly.
Performing Daily
Maintenance
Service Interval: Before each use or daily
Before starting the machine each day, perform the
Each Use/Daily procedures listed in
(page 26).

Checking the Tire Pressure

Service Interval: Before each use or daily
Front and rear tires air pressure specification: 165
to 207 kPa (24 to 30 psi)
Important:
Do not exceed the maximum air
pressure indicated on the sidewall of the tire.
Note:
The air pressure needed in the tires is
determined by the payload that you intend to carry.
1. Check the air pressure in the tires.
•
Use lower air pressure in the tires for lighter
payloads, for less soil compaction, for a

Understanding and Using
the Battery System
Understanding Deep-Cycle
Batteries
The machine contains 8 deep-cycle, lead-acid
batteries that supply power to the motor and
accessories. A deep-cycle battery is not the same
as an automobile battery. An automobile battery
is designed to provide a surge of power to start
the machine and moderate power to run the lights
and accessories when the motor if off or idling.
The alternator then continuously charges as the
automobile runs. As such, an automobile battery
seldom drops below 90% of the maximum charge

level.
A deep-cycle battery is designed to be a primary power
source to provide a sustained output. Deep-cycle
batteries are typically discharged as low as 20 to 30%
of the maximum charge level. A discharge this low is
considered a deep discharge.
Important:
reduces the battery life.
Lead-acid batteries produce electricity through a
chemical reaction between lead plates and sulfuric
acid. Charging a battery reverses the chemical
reaction, allowing the battery to once again produce
electricity.
A battery is a perishable item that has a limited

smoother ride, and to minimize tire marks on
the ground.
•
Use higher air pressure in the tires for
carrying heavier payloads at higher speeds.
If necessary, adjust the air pressure in the tires
by adding or removing air in the tires.
