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.2GeneralpurposeLithium Base Grease and lubricate every 100 hours.The Diesel Super Starhasfive

grease fittings. One is located on the foot pedal. One located on the steering cyclinder, two on the rake lift and

one is located on the steering chain tensioner. Access to the steering chain tensioner is available through the

plugs located on hte right side of the nosecone.

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. Cleanout theinside ofthe bodyand cover.

4. Place the element into the body and put the cover back on.

TOWING

When it is necessary to move the Super Star without engine running, bypass valve built into hydrostatic pump

must be "open" by turning it counterclockwise. The valve is located on the right side of the pump.An "open"

valveallows fluid to pass through the wheels freely.When normal, 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 standard

procedure. When towing do 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

Cautionmust be used when inflatinga lowtire to recommended pressure. Over inflatingcan cause tires to

explode.Tiresshouldbe8 psi(0.55bar).Improper inflation will reduce tire life considerably.

ENGINE

Changeand add oil according tochart below. Do notoverfill. Use a high qualitydetergent 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

Use of multi-viscosity oils (10W-30, etc.) above 40° F (4° C) will result in high oil consumption and possible

enginedamage. Check oil levelmore frequently if usingthese 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-40API Service SJ or higher motor oil.

2. Forproperwarranty,changeoil every 500 hours or annually,whicheverisfirst and change filter afterthe

first20hours,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.

Checkand service more frequently when operating inextremely cold,hotor 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. Ifeither ofthe aboveconditions happen,change oiland filterimmediately afterfluid iscool andfind 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

higherwhen hot (above 90°F (33°C)) and SAE 10WAPIServiceSJorhigherwhencold (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.

Batterycableshould be disconnected before using "Fast Charge".

Charge battery at 15 amps for 10 minutes or 7 amps for 30 minutes. Do not exceed the recommended charging

rate.Ifelectrolytestartsboilingover, decrease charging.

Alwaysremove grounded (-) battery clamp first andreplace itlast.Avoidhazards by:

1. Fillingbatteries in well-ventilated areas.

2. Weareye protection and rubber gloves.

3. Avoidbreathing fumes when electrolyte is added.

4. Avoidspilling or dripping electrolyte.

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.

Tojump start(negativegroundedbattery):

1. Shield eyes.

2. Connect ends of one cable to positive (+) terminals of each battery, first (A) then (B).

3. Connectoneendofother cable to negative (-) terminal of "good" battery (C).

4. Connectother endof cable (D) to engine blockon

unitbeing started (NOT to negative (-) terminal of

battery)

Toprevent damage to other electrical componentson

unit being started, make certain that engine is at idle

speedbefore disconnecting jumper cables.
