MAINTENANCE OF THE LOADER
CAUTION
To avoid personal injury:
• Be sure to check and service the tractor on a
flat surface with the bucket on the ground,
engine shut off, the starter key removed, and
the parking brake on.
DAILY CHECKING THE LOADER
WARNING
To avoid personal injury or death:
• When removing the engine-side-covers, be
careful not to touch hot loader cylinders. Allow
all surfaces to cool before performing
maintenance.
• Before servicing the loader or the tractor, be
sure to place the boom of the loader in contact
with the ground. When raising the boom of the
loader during service or maintenance, support
the boom as shown in the figure.
1. Check all hardware of the loader daily before
operation.
Tighten the hardware of the loader to torque values
as specified in the GENERAL TORQUE
SPECIFICATION on page 144.
2. With the engine off and the bucket on the ground,
inspect all hoses for cuts or wear. Check for signs
of leaks and make sure all fittings are tight.
WARNING
To avoid personal injury or death:
• Escaping the hydraulic fluid under pressure
can obtain sufficient force to penetrate skin,
causing serious personal injury.
Before disconnecting lines, be sure to
relieve all pressure.
• Before applying pressure to the loader
system, be sure that all connections are
tight and that lines, tubes, and hoses are not
damaged.
• Fluid escaping from a very small hole can be
almost invisible. Use a piece of cardboard or
wood, rather than your hands, to search for
suspected leaks.
• If you are injured by escaping fluid, see a
doctor at once. Serious infection or allergic
reaction will develop if proper medical
treatment is not administered immediately.
