R2000H — MAINTENANCE
DO NOT overtighten the V-belt. This will cause
excessive strain on the transmission bearings,
resulting in transmission failure.
CAUTION
Check the battery regularly and make sure that each
electrolyte level is to the bottom of the vent well
(Figure 22). If necessary add only distilled water in a
well-ventilated area.
Figure 22. Battery Fluid Levels
CAUTION:
If your clothing or skin comes in contact with
the battery acid,
immediately
wash off with
running water and get medical attention.
3. ALWAYS keep the battery charged. If the battery is not
charged a buildup of combustible gas will occur.
4. ALWAYS keep battery charging and cables in good
working condition. Repair or replace all worn cables.
5. ALWAYS recharge the battery in an vented air
environment, to avoid risk of a dangerous concentration
of combustible gases.
6. ALWAYS wear eye protection and rubber gloves, since
the battery contains sulfuric acid which burns skin and
eats through clothing.
7. ALWAYS recharge the battery in an vented air
environment, to avoid risk of a dangerous concentration
of combustible gases.
8. In case the battery liquid (dilute sulfuric acid) comes in
contact with
clothing or skin
, rinse skin or clothing
immediately with plenty of water.
9. In case the battery liquid (dilute sulfuric acid) comes in
contact with your eyes, rinse eyes immediately with
plenty of water, then contact the nearest doctor or hospital,
and seek medical attention.
Battery
The battery contains acids that can cause
injury to the eyes and skin. To avoid eye
irritation,
always
wear safety glasses. Use
well insulated gloves when picking up the
battery. Use the following guidelines when
handling the battery:
1. DO NOT drop the battery. There is the possibility of risk
that the battery may explode.
2. DO NOT expose the battery to open
flames, sparks, cigarettes etc. The
battery contains combustible gases
and liquids. If these gases and
liquids come in contact with a flame
or spark, an explosion could occur.
Scrapers, Cocoa Mats, and Sprinkler Bars
1. Keep roller scraper bars clean. Replace any broken or
stretched spring. Prevent accumulation of tar or debris around
pivot area.
2. Remove and replace the cocoa mats when badly worn by
loosening the screws holding them in place. Remove the side
panel first to replace the rear mats.
3. Fill the water tank through the large cap on the top rear. Use
only clean water or the valve, hoses, and sprinkler bars may
become clogged.
Transmission V-Belt Adjustment
1. Keep pulleys clean and properly aligned using a straight
edge. Correct belt tension is essential for the transmission to
work properly and efficiently, and for the longevity of the belt.
2. Use a belt tension tester to check the belt tension.
3. Apply the load to the V-belt at the center of the span between
the pulleys. The belt deflection should be approximately 1/4"
with 3 1/2 lbs. to 4 lbs. load.
