SECTION 4: MAINTENANCE
The service life and reliability of any machine
depends upon the care it is given. Proper lubrica-
tion and maintenance is a vital part of that care.
Using the Lubrication and Maintenance Chart as a
guide, monitor the hourmeter on the instrument
panel to ensure the required maintenance proce-
dures are performed. The maintenance schedule
reflects the minimal requirements to maintain the
equipment. More frequent inspections and mainte-
nance is preferable.
Make certain that all lubrication fittings are installed
and functioning. Wipe away all old grease and dirt
from the lube fittings to prevent foreign materials
from entering as the new grease is applied. Use a
pressure lubricating gun to force in new grease.
Apply pressure until clean grease emerges from the
lubrication point.
Miscellaneous working parts not provided with
lubrication fittings should be oiled regularly with a
good grade of lubricating oil.
Lubricate the tractor thoroughly before taking it to a
remote location for a prolonged period of time.
Lubricant is cheap. Use plenty of it. Worn parts can
be expensive to replace.
Store your supply of lubricating grease and oil in
clean, covered containers to protect them from dust
and dirt. Keep the lubricating gun nozzle clean.
