Operation 21
Clean the Alternator
Clean the fine dust accumulated in the alternator (1)
with compressed air.
WARNING: WEAR APPROPRIATE EYE AND FACE
PROTECTION WHEN USING COMPRESSED AIR.
FLYING DIRT AND DEBRIS CAN CAUSE PERSONAL
INJURY.
Operation 22
Check the Tire Air Pressure
It is extremely important that tires (singles, duals, or
triples) are kept at proper inflation pressures, based
on the load being carried by the tires.
A special tire gauge capable of measuring low pressure,
0 to 1.4 bar (0 to 20 PSI) is required.
NOTE: If the tires are ballasted with a calcium
chloride/water solution, check pressure with the valve
stem at the top of the tire.
See the “Tire Load and Inflation Tables” in Section 6
of this manual for the proper inflation pressures.
Operation 23
Check the Planetary Hub Oil Level
The oil in the four planetary hubs (two on each axle)
must be maintained at the proper level to provide
lubrication for the outboard planetaries.
To check the planetary hub oil level, rotate the tire
so that the plugs (2 & 3) are in the 3 or 9 o’clock
position. Remove the drain plug (3) and see if oil runs
out or is level with the plug opening. If no oil runs
out, the hub requires oil. Remove the fill plug (2) and
add oil until it runs out of the check plug (3). Replace
both plugs.
Torque Value: 61-75 N·m (45-55 ft-lbs)
Wrench size: 1¼" (1.250")
Check the differential oil level when the tractor is on
a level surface and has been stationary for one hour
to allow the oil in the axle and planetary hubs to level
out.
