97MAINTENANCE OF THE LOADER
DAILY CHECKS
1. Check all hardware daily before operation.
Tighten hardware to torque values as specified in the
"Tightening Torque Chart".
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.
To avoid serious personal injury:
A Escaping hydraulic fluid under pressure can
have sufficient force to penetrate skin, causing
serious personal injury. Before disconnecting
lines, be sure to relieve all pressure.
Before applying pressure to system, be sure 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 hands, to search for
suspected leaks.
If injured by escaping fluid, see a doctor at
once. Serious infection or allergic reaction will
develop if proper medical treatment is not
administered immediately.
A When removing the engine side covers, be
careful not to touch hot loader cylinders.
Allow all surfaces to cool before performing
maintenance.

BChecking main frame bolt and nut torque
To avoid serious injury:
A Never operate front loader with a loose main
frame.
A Any time bolts and nuts are loosened, retighten
to specified torque.
A Check all bolts and nuts frequently and keep
them tight.
Check main frame bolts and nuts regularly especially
when new. If they are loose, tighten them as follows.
(1) Hydraulic line
(2) Cardboard
(3) Magnifying glass
(1) Tightening torque : 147 N-m (15.0 kgf-m, 108 lbf-ft)
