General information
Adequate lubrication and maintenance on a regular schedule is vital to maintaining your equipment. To ensure long
service and efcient operation, follow the lubrication and maintenance schedules outlined in this manual. The use of
proper fuels, oils, grease and lters, as well as keeping the systems clean, will also extend machine and component
life.
NOTICE: While any company can perform necessary maintenance or repairs on your equipment, NEW HOLLAND
strongly recommends that you use only authorized NEW HOLLAND dealers and products that meet the given speci-
cations. Improperly or incorrectly performed maintenance and repair voids the equipment warranty and may affect
service intervals.
NOTICE: Always use genuine NEW HOLLAND replacement parts, oils and lters to ensure proper operation, ltration
of engine and hydraulic systems. See your NEW HOLLAND dealer for additional oil quantities.
Regular lubrication is the best insurance against delays and repairs. Proper lubrication will extend machine life. Refer
to the following charts for lubricants and service intervals.
NOTICE: Failure to complete the required maintenance at the recommended intervals can cause unnecessary down-
time.
Use the intervals listed in the Lubrication Chart as guidelines when operating in normal conditions. Adjust the intervals
for operating in adverse environmental and working conditions. Shorten the intervals for sandy, dusty, and extremely
hot operating conditions.
