Monthly Maintenance
(Every 100 Hrs)
Verify that all daily and weekly maintenance has
been performed.
Equalize your batteries (Flooded only).
The batteries should be equalized once every 30
days for maximum battery runtime and life.
To equalize the batteries:
Plug in the charger, and fully charge the batteries
(until the green 100% LED is on continuously).
Unplug the charger from the wall outlet, then plug it
back in.
The charger will run for 2hrs, holding the batteries
at a constant voltage, and equalizing each cell.
THIS STEP IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT IF YOU
PRACTICE OPPORTUNITY CHARGING.
Check the Battery Tray Drain Hose for liquid level
on a monthly basis.
Spilled liquids from the battery compartment area
are collected in a tray under the batteries. The tray
can be drained using the hose at the right rear of
the machine as shown above.
IMPORTANT: Drain all liquids into an approved
container and dispose of according to your local
and federal regulations.
Inspect the machine components for wear, loose
fasteners, or damage. Pay special attention to all
pivot points and moving parts.
Call an authorized NSS service center for repairs.
90 Day Maintenance
(Every 300 Hrs)
Verify that all daily, weekly and monthly
maintenance has been performed.
Tighten Chain
Check the tension on the drive motor chain. If the
chain has more than ½" [12.7mm] deflection,
tighten as needed.
Access to the bolts for the drive motor are on the
left side of the machine. There are two bolts on top
which are accessed through the holes as shown in
the picture above. There are also two bolts located
below the frame. A total of four bolts.
Lubrication
Lubricate the casters with an industrial grade
bearing grease. Failure to lubricate casters will
cause the machine to maneuver with difficulty and
premature failure of the caster will result.
Lubricate the drive wheel bearings with an
industrial grade bearing grease. The zerk fittings
