DANGER
POTENTIAL HAZARD
♦Charging the battery may produce explosive
gasses
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
♦Battery gasses can explode causing serious
injury.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
♦Keep sparks, flames, or cigarettes away from
battery.
♦Ventilate when charging or using battery in an
enclosed space.
♦Make sure venting path of battery is always
open once battery is filled with acid.
2. Check the voltage of the battery with a digital
voltmeter. Locate the voltage reading of the
battery in the table below and charge the battery
for the recommended time interval to bring the
charge up to a full charge of 12.6 volts or greater.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the negative battery
cables are disconnected and the battery charger
used for charging the battery has an output of 16
volts and 7 amps or less to avoid damaging the
battery (see chart below for recommended charger
settings).

CAUTION
POTENTIAL HAZARD
♦If the ignition is in the “ON” position there is
potential for sparks and engagement of
components.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
♦Sparks could cause an explosion or moving
parts could accidentally engage causing
personal injury.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
♦Be sure ignition switch is in the “OFF” position
before charging the battery.
3. Connect the negative battery cables.
NOTE: If the positive cable is also disconnected,
connect the positive (red) cable to the positive
battery terminal first, then the negative (black)
cable and green/white wire to the negative
battery terminal. Slip insulator boot over the
positive terminal.
NOTE: If time does not permit charging the
battery, or if charging equipment is not available,
connect the negative battery cables and run the
vehicle continuously for 20 to 30 minutes to
sufficiently charge the battery.
Installing the Seat
1. Remove seat assembly from the crate.
2. Locate the four 5/16-18 whizlock nuts packaged
with the roll bar hardware.
3. See Figure 5. Align the seat track studs on the
bottom of the seat with the holes in the seat
frame. Place seat on top of the frame and
secure with the four 5/16-18 whizlock nuts
located in step 2.

Installing the Motion Control Levers
1. Loosen and remove the two (2) 3/8” x 1” bolts
and spring disc washers which attach the motion
control levers to the control arm shafts for
shipping and the two (2) 3/8” x 1” bolts and spring
disc washers which are screwed into the control
arm shafts.
2. Install the left motion control lever onto the
control arm shaft on the left side of the console
(Fig. 6).
3. Place the lever (with the mounting plate towards
the rear) on the outside of the control arm shaft
and secure with the bolts and washers removed
in step 1.
4. Position the lever so the bolts are in the center of
the slots on the lever mounting plate and tighten
until snug.
5. Repeat on opposite side of unit.
NOTE: There are two lever height options
available. Place the levers in the top two holes to
increase height of the levers, or in the bottom two
holes to decrease the height of the levers.
6. Align the levers front/rear position. With the
levers in the neutral position, loosen the
hardware and adjust the levers sliding and/or
lilting the lever(s) forward or backward until
properly aligned and tighten hardware (Fig. 7).
7. If the ends of the levers hit against each other,
while in the drive position (levers rotated in as far
as possible), make adjustments by moving the
levers outwards to the neutral lock position and
carefully bending them outward. Move them
back to the drive position and check for
clearance. Repeat if necessary.
Positioning the Discharge Chute
1. Loosen two (2) 5/16” nyloc nuts attaching
discharge chute. Lower the discharge chute into
position. Retighten nyloc nuts until chute is
snug but can pivot freely.
Servicing the Engine
Refer to Engine Owner’s Manual.
Servicing the Hydraulic Oil
The machine is shipped with hydraulic oil in the
reservoir.
1. Run the machine for approximately 15 minutes
to allow any extra air to purge out of the
hydraulic system.
2. Check hydraulic reservoir and if necessary fill
the reservoir to the appropriate level with Mobil 1
15W-50 synthetic motor oil.
3. Replace hydraulic reservoir cap and tighten until
snug. Do not overtighten.
NOTE: The baffle is labeled “HOT” and “COLD”.
The oil level varies with the temperature of the oil.
The “HOT” level shows the level of oil when it is at
225°F (107°C). The “COLD” level shows the level of
the oil when it is at 75°F (24°C). Fill to the
appropriate level depending upon the temperature of
the oil. For example: If the oil is about 150° F
(65°C). Fill to halfway between the “HOT” and
“COLD” levels. If the oil is at room temperature
(about 75° F (24°C)), fill only to the “COLD” level.
