MAINTENANCE
Before servicing or making adjustments to machine, stop engine and remove key from ignition.
Use all procedures and parts prescribed by the manufacturer's. Read the engine manual.
LUBRICATION
UseNo.2GeneralpurposeLithiumBaseGrease and lubricate every 100 hours.TheSuper Star X-treme has
seven grease fittings. Two on the rake lift, one on the shift arm, one on the speed boss arm, one on the speed
boss relay, one on the attachment lift cylinder rod end adn one on the foot pedal.

cartridge, clean by tapping gently on flat surface. Do not oil cartridge. Replace if very dirty or damaged.
Do not use petroleum solvents, e.g.., kerosene, which will cause cartridge to deteriorate. Do
not use pressurized air to clean cartridge. Pressurized air can damage cartridge.
4. Reinstallcartridge,plateandknob.
5. Reassemblepre-cleaneron cartridge.
6. Replace cover and reattach clips to body.
REMOTEAIRCLEANER
1. Unclip the two clips, remove the cover and pull out the element.
2. To service, clean by tapping gently on flat surface. Do not oil. Replace if very dirty or damaged.
3. Cleanouttheinsideofthebodyandcover.
4. Place the element into the body and put the cover back on.
TOWING
Whenitis necessary to move the Super Star X-treme without engine running, bypassvalvebuiltinto hydrostatic
pump must be "open" by turning it counterclockwise. The valve is located on the right side of the pump.An
"open"valveallowsfluidto passthroughthewheelsfreely.Whennormal,driven,operation is desired, valve
should be "closed by turning it clockwise. Failure to "close" the valve with engine running means no power to
wheels. The machine can be moved for a short distance with the engine off, but we do not recommend this as a
standardprocedure.Whentowingdo not tow the machine faster than 2-3 MPH (3-5 km/h) because the drive
system may be damaged. The tires may lock up if the machine is towed too fast. If this occurs, stop towing the
machine. If the machine must be moved a considerable distance, transport it on a truck or trailer.

MAINTENANCE
TIREPRESSURE
Cautionmustbe used when inflating a low tire to recommended pressure. Over inflating cancausetires to
explode. Tires should be 5 psi (0.35 bar). Improper inflation will reduce tire life considerably.
ENGINE
Changeand add oil according to chart below. Donotoverfill. Use a high quality detergent oil classified "For Ser-
vice SJ or higher" SAE 30 oil. Use no special additives with recommended oils. Do not mix oil with gasoline.
SAEVISCOSITYGRADES
Starting Temperature Range Anticipated Before Next Oil Change
Aircooledenginerunhotterthanautomotiveengines.Useofmulti-viscosityoils(10W-30,etc.)above40°F
(4°C) will result in high oil consumption and possible engine damage.Checkoil level more frequently if using
these types of oils.
SAE 30 oil, if used below 40° F (4° C), will result in hard starting and possible engine bore damage due to inad-
equatelubrication.
HYDRAULICOIL
1. Use SAE 10W-40 API Service SJ or higher motor oil.
2. For proper warranty, change oil every 500 hours or annually, which ever is first and change filter after
the first 20 hours, then at 100 hours, then every 250 hours thereafter.
3. The oil level should be 2" to 21/2" from top of tank when fluid is cold. Do not overfill.
4. After changing oil and/or filter, run the machine for a few minutes. Check oil level and for leaks.
5. Always use caution when filling hydraulic oil tank or checking level to keep system free of contaminants.
Checkandservicemorefrequentlywhenoperating in extremely cold, hot or dusty conditions.
6. If natural color of fluid is black or smells burnt, it is possible that an overheating problem exists.
7. If fluid becomes milky, water contamination may be a problem.
8. If either of the above conditions happen, change oil and filter immediately after fluid is cool and find
cause. Take fluid level readings when system is cold.
9. In extreme temperatures you can use straight weight oil. We recommend SAE 30WAPI Service SJ or
higher when hot (above 90°F (33°C)) and SAE 10WAPI Service SJ or higher when cold (below 32°F
(0°C) ambient temperature. Use either motor oil or hydraulic oil, but do not mix.
10. Oil being added to the system must be the same as what is already in the tank. Mark tank fill area as to
which type you put in.

BATTERY
Batteries normally produce explosive gases which can cause personal injury. Do not allow flames, sparks or any
ignited object to come near the battery. When charging or working near battery, always shield your eyes and
alwaysprovideproperventilation.
Batterycableshouldbedisconnectedbeforeusing"FastCharge".
Charge battery at 15 amps for 10 minutes or 7 amps for 30 minutes. Do not exceed the recommended charging
rate.Ifelectrolytestarts boiling over, decrease charging.
Alwaysremovegrounded(-)batteryclampfirstandreplace it last. Avoid hazards by:
1. Fillingbatteriesinwell-ventilatedareas.
2. Weareyeprotectionand rubber gloves.
3. Avoidbreathingfumeswhenelectrolyte is added.
4. Avoidspillingordrippingelectrolyte.
Battery Electrolyte is an acidic solution and should be handled with care. If electrolyte is
splashed on any part of your body, flush all contact areas immediately with liberal amounts
of water. Get medical attention immediately.
JUMPSTARTING
Use of booster battery and jumper cables. Particular care should be used when connecting a
booster battery. Use proper polarity in order to prevent sparks.
Tojumpstart(negative grounded battery):
1. Shield eyes.
2. Connect ends of one cable to positive (+) terminals of each battery, first (A) then (B).
3. Connectoneendofothercabletonegative(-)terminalof"good" battery (C).
4. Connect other end of cable (D) to engine block
onunit being started (NOT to negative (-)terminal
of battery)
To prevent damage to otherelectricalcomponentson
unit being started, make certain that engine is at idle
speed before disconnecting jumper cables.
