MAINTENANCE OF THE LOADER
To avoid personal injury:
A Be sure to check and service the tractor on a
flat place with the bucket on the ground, engine
shut off, the key removed and the parking
brake on.
LUBRICATION
1. Lubricate all grease fittings every 10 hours of
operation. Also, lubricate joints of control lever linkage
every 10 hours. High quality grease designating
"extreme pressure" and containing Molybdenum
disulfide is recommended. This grease may specify
"Moly EP" on its label.
2. Daily before operation, check the tractor hydraulic fluid
level. If low, add as described in "PERIODIC
SERVICE OF THE TRACTOR" section. Also change
the filter element and the hydraulic fluid as
recommended in "MAINTENANCE OF THE
TRACTOR" section.
RE-TIGHTENING OF HARDWARE
After 20 to 30 hours of initial loader operation, re-tighten
all mounting bolts and nuts to the required torque value as
specified in the "Tightening Torque Chart".
BTightening Bolts and Nuts
Tighten all bolts and nuts with required torque.
A Before finally tightening all mounting hardware, start
the engine and apply down pressure to the bucket until
the loader raises the front wheels slightly, and make
sure that the mounting pins can be rotated easily.
Tighten all bolts and nuts in this position.
