5. Check each direction indicator lights work. Ensure the correct lamp flashes when selected at the control arm switch.

6. Check the horn.

7. If all is working, use cable ties to secure the wire harnesses in all areas. You may need to loop some wires. Proceed to Installing the Reflectors, Vehicle Information Plate and the Serial Number decal.

8. If anything is not working, check the connections to the light that is failing and it’s switch.

   Note: Ensure all grounded wires and battery connections are good.

Parts needed for this procedure:

1. Install a red reflector to each side of the rear of the machine (Figure 21).

   

   Figure 21

2. For machines used in Germany, stamp the required information onto the machine vehicle information plate. See the table below for both models.

   TYP	Model Number
   Fz-Ident-HR	Enter machines serial number
   Zul- Gesamtgewicht Kg	720
   Baujahr	Enter Year of Manufacture
   Zul-Achslast vorn Kg	436
   Zul-Achslast Hinten Kg	535

3. Using the vehicle information plate as a template, align the plate and mark the holes; refer to Figure 22.

4. Drill 4 holes (3 mm) into the front caster arm.

5. Rivet the plate onto the left side of the front caster arm (Figure 22).

   

   Figure 22

   1. Serial number decal
   2. Vehicle information plate

6. Install the kit serial number decal near the serial number plate on the caster arm.

7. If there is a requirement in your country to stamp the serial number on the machine frame, and the authority does not state a specified location, stamp the serial number on right caster arm.

Important: This procedure is only for machines used in France.

Method 1—Using the Tachometer

1. Jack up the machine, and securely support it with jack stands so the wheels are off the ground.

2. Have someone sit in the operators seat or add a weight to the seat to activate the operator presence control switch in the seat.

3. Start the machine, release the brake and push one control lever fully forward.

4. With a tachometer measure the wheel speed, it should be 100 RPM max.

5. If needed, use a T30 Torx Key, to adjust the control arm stop and check the wheel speed.

   Note: Access to the adjuster screw can be made easier by removing the plastic cover. Rotate the key clockwise to slow and anti-clockwise to speed up.

   

   Figure 23

6. Repeat the process for the wheel on the other side.

Method 2—Using the Ground Speed

1. Mark 2 lines on a straight, flat piece of ground 20 m (22 yd) apart.

   Note: Allow enough room for the machine to accelerate to full speed before reaching the first line, and to brake at the other end, after passing the second line.

2. Measure the time it takes to drive at full speed (control arms fully forward) between the 2 marks. For 10 kmh, the time required should be 7 seconds max.

3. Adjust the control arm stop as per the tachometer method, and check the speed.

• To illuminate the marker lights, run the engine and press the rear of the light switch on the control panel (Figure 25).

• To illuminate the headlights and marker lights, run the engine, press the rear of the light switch on the control panel and push the light switch on the left control arm to the I position (Figure 25).

  To switch off the lights center the light switch on the control panel.

• To operate the work lights when installed, press the front of the light switch on the control panel.

• To illuminate the hazard lights, press the top of the hazard light switch to flash all indicator lights simultaneously (Figure 24).
