Maintenance BELT INSTALLATION AND TENSIONING INSTALLATION Adjust the sprockets using a straight edge. Slide up the edge on the larger pulley until it contacts the smaller pulley. Properly adjusted pulleys will provide three points of contact. Properly aligned pulleys will provide four points of contact. Tighten setscrews and recheck alignment. TENSIONING Check the force F required to provide a deflection of 1/8 in.
Maintenance HYDRAULIC BRAKES DRUM BRAKES Remove brake drums and check linings wear; the linings should have a thickness exceeding 1/16" (1.5 mm). Turn the brake adjustment to reduce the clearance between lining and drum but avoid contact or drag when the wheels are turned and the pedal is released. DISC BRAKES Check pad linings for excessive wear;...

Maintenance REVERSE ONLY On a SEPEX motor control, check the forward signal input on the controller. On a series wound motor control, a bad forward contactor is the most probable cause of the problem. Switch to forward and check the voltage on the forward control wire. If not B+, replace the F/R switch If B+, turn off the key switch, disconnect batteries, disconnect power terminals on the F/R contactors, check the resistance across N.C.

2 — INSTALLATION & WIRING: Controller for the M8 bolts. The maximum bolt insertion depth below the surface of the bus bar is 1.3 cm (1/2"). B olt shafts exceeding this length may damage the controller. The torque applied to the bolts should not exceed 16.3 N·m (12 ft-lbs). Two 1/4"...
7 — DIAGNOSTICS & TROUBLESHOOTING DIAGNOSTICS AND TROUBLESHOOTING The 1243 2 controller provides diagnostics information to assist technicians in troubleshooting drive system problems. The diagnostics information can be obtained by observing the appropriate display on the handheld programmer, the fault message displayed on the S pyglass gauge, the fault codes issued by the S tatus LED, or the fault display driven by the controller’s fault outputs (Fault 1 and Fault 2).
