General Information
Introduction
This section gives full details of the service procedures
necessary to maintain your tractor at peak efficiency.
The Lubrication and Maintenance Chart provides a
ready reference to these requirements. Each operation
is numbered for easy reference.
In addition to the regular maintenance operations
listed, check the following items every 10 hours or
daily during the first 50 hours of operation:
• Wheel hardware for tightness.
• Planetary hub and differential oil level
• Check for leaks, loose or damaged parts.
IMPORTANT: Park the tractor on level ground and,
where applicable, extend all cylinders before checking
oil levels.
Safety Precautions
Read and observe all safety precautions listed in
Section 1, “Safety: Servicing The Tractor.”
NOTE: Dispose of used filters and fluids properly.
Consult local officials for proper procedures.
CAUTION: DO NOT CHECK, LUBRICATE, SERVICE
OR ADJUST THE TRACTOR WITH THE ENGINE
RUNNING.
Preventing System Contamination
To prevent contamination when changing oils, filters,
etc., always clean the area around the filler caps, level
plugs, drain plugs, dipsticks and filters prior to removal.
Before connecting remote cylinders, ensure that oil
contained within them is clean, has not degenerated
due to long storage, and is of the correct grade.
To prevent dirt entry during greasing, wipe dirt from
the grease fittings before greasing. Wipe excess grease
from the fitting after greasing.
Flexible Maintenance Intervals
The intervals listed in the Lubrication and Maintenance
Chart are guidelines to be used when operating in
normal working conditions.
Adjust the intervals for environmental and working
conditions. Intervals should be shortened under
adverse (wet, muddy, sandy, extremely dusty) working
conditions.
Lubrication and Maintenance Chart
The chart lists the intervals when routine checks,
lubrication, service and/or adjustments should be
performed. Use the chart as a quick reference guide
when servicing the tractor. (The operations follow the
chart).
First 50–Hour Service
At the first 50–hour service, ensure that the
maintenance operations listed on the “First 50–Hour
Service” checklist, located at the back of this manual,
are carried out.
IMPORTANT: Items listed in the first 50–hour check
are important. If not performed, early component
failure and reduced tractor life may result.
