Hurricane Track DAILY CHECKLIST
DAILY CHECKS SHOULD BE PERFORMED BEFORE STARTING ENGINE FOR THE DAY. DO NOT INSERT KEY INTO ENGINE UNTIL ALL CHECKS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED.
Check engine oil at dipstick, located inside
the cover of the engine. Engine must be level. Boom in raised position will not
affect the engine position; machine must be on level ground. Add recommended oil as required (see engine manual).
Check fuel filter for debris or water.
Replenish fuel tank with fresh fuel.
Check radiator coolant. Refer to engine
manual for additional information. Radiator screen must be kept clear of debris, clean daily; blow off screen from the inside of the engine cover.
Check hydraulic oil level. A sight glass is
located on the tank. Add oil if required. Do not fill tank full, the oil will expand and spill out in hot temperatures.
Check condition and tightness of drive belts.
Check for any loose, broken, or missing
cutter teeth and pockets.
Inspect bolts, hydraulic fittings, wiring
harnesses, hoses, and equipment for tightness, wear, or leakage. Make repairs as needed.
Inspect air filters. REPLACE, if necessary,
WITH FACTORY AIR FILTER ONLY (see Maintenance Section for part numbers). Do not blow out filters or tap filters on the ground. Replace the main filter when dirty. Replace inner safety filter when dirty or when the outer air filter has been changed 3 times. Follow engine manual procedure for removal and replacement. Do not allow dirt to get into engine when removing filters. Dirt ingestion will cause engine failure and is not warranted.
Grease jackshaft and boom bearings daily,
apply only 2 to 4 shots of grease. DO NOT OVER GREASE.
Purge cutter wheel bearings with grease
daily until clean grease is seen.
Check condition of tracks and adjust tension
if necessary (see Servicing Tracks section). Apply grease as required to keep track tension adjusted. DO NOT OVER GREASE.
REMOVE BACK ENGINE COVER & CLEAN RADIATOR SCREEN
OIL DIPSTICK INSIDE ENGINE COVER
