Do not short circuit the battery's termi-
nals. Sparks occur which can result in
fire. Do not wear metal jewellery which
can come into contact with the battery
terminals.
In the event of damage to the battery
casing, cover, terminals or interference
to the strip covering the valves, the bat-
tery should be replaced.
If the battery terminals are coated with oxide, they
should be cleaned. Clean the battery terminals with
a wire brush and grease them.
LUBRICATION - CHASSIS
The machine's articulated steering joint has four
grease nipples that should be lubricated with uni-
versal grease after every 25 hours of operation
(fig. 26).
Note: Please note that the fourth grease nipple is
not shown on the picture. It is located on the under-
side, on the flexible axle's front bearing.
Senator-President-Royal:
Lubricate the steering cables and steering chain
with universal grease a couple of times per season.
Pro16-Pro20:
Apply universal grease to the steering chains a
couple of times each season. If the steering chains
are really dirty, dismantle them, wash them and
then grease them once more.
Apply universal grease to all the plastic bearings a
couple of times per season.
Apply a coating of engine oil to the tension arm
joints a couple of times each season.
Apply a few drops of engine oil to both ends of the
throttle control cable a couple of times a season.
Senator:
The transmission is filled with oil (SAE 80W-90)
on delivery from the factory. If it is not opened
(which must only be done by a specialist), no top-
ping up of oil should normally be carried out.
STEERING CABLES (Senator - Pres-
ident - Royal)
The steering cables should be adjusted for the first
time after the machine has been in operation for 2 -
3 hours, and then after every 25 hours of operation.
Put the machine in the straight-ahead position.

ENGLISH
Tension the steering cables by tightening the nuts
that are located on the underside of the articulated
steering joint (fig. 27). The screws in the ends of
the cables should be held firmly during adjustment
so that the cables are not twisted. Use an adjustable
wrench or similar for this purpose, inserting it in
the key handles in the ends of the screws. Tension
until all play is removed.
Adjust both the nuts the same amount to ensure
that the alignment of the steering wheel is not
changed.
Once the adjustment is complete, turn the steering
wheel as far as it will go in either direction. Check
that the chain does not come into contact with the
pulley, and that the cables do not become entan-
gled with the steering pinions.
Do not tension the steering cables too hard. Other-
wise the steering will be heavy and wear and tear
on the cables will increase.
STEERING CHAINS (Pro16 - Pro20)
Adjust the steering chains after every 50 hours of
operation.
Put the machine in the straight-ahead position.
Tension the steering chains by tightening up the
nuts that are located on the underside of the articu-
lated steering joint (fig. 27). Tension until all play
is removed.
Adjust both the nuts the same amount to ensure
that the alignment of the steering wheel is not
changed.
Do not over-tighten the steering chains. This will
cause the steering to become heavy and will in-
crease wear on the steering chains.
