OWNER SERVICE
The information in this section is written for operators
who possess basic mechanical skills. If you need help,
your dealer has trained service technicians available.
For your protection, read and follow the safety informa-
tion in this manual.
Never work under a raised loader. Always lower
loader to the ground with bucket or loader attach-
ment in full roll-back position. Shut off tractor, set
parking brake, and remove key. Operate valve
levers to release any hydraulic pressure. If loader
obstructs tractor maintenance, loader must be
removed from tractor.
Keep all persons away from operator control
area while performing adjustments, service, or
maintenance.
Do not disconnect hydraulic lines until all sys-
tem pressure is relieved. Lower unit to ground,
stop engine, and operate all hydraulic control
levers.
Keep hands and body away from pressurized
lines. Use paper or cardboard, not hands or other
body parts to check for leaks. Wear safety goggles.
Hydraulic fluid under pressure can easily penetrate
skin and will cause serious injury or death.
Make sure that all operating and service person-
nel know that if hydraulic fluid penetrates skin, it
must be surgically removed as soon as possible by
a doctor familiar with this form of injury or gan-
grene, serious injury, or death will result. CON-
TACT A PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY IF FLUID
ENTERS SKIN OR EYES. DO NOT DELAY.
Before dismounting power unit or performing
any service or maintenance, follow these steps:
disengage power to equipment, lower the 3-point
hitch and all raised components to the ground,
operate valve levers to release any hydraulic pres-
sure, set parking brake, stop engine, remove key,
and unfasten seat belt.
If you do not understand any part of this manual
and need assistance, see your dealer.
Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing
to avoid getting caught in moving parts. Wear
sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and protective
equipment for eyes, hair, hands, hearing, and head;
and respirator or filter mask where appropriate.
Lubrication
NOTICE
■ When adding oil to the tractor reservoir, always
use hydraulic oil as specified by the tractor manu-
factures.
Daily
___ Check the level of hydraulic oil in tractor before
starting each day's operation. If necessary, add
oil as recommended in your tractor owner's man-
ual.
___ Lubricate after every eight hours of operation;
lubricate grease fittings at each end of each lift
boom arm and at rod and base end of each boom
and bucket cylinder.
___ After every eight hours of operation, check all
hardware and tighten where required.
___ Replace hoses immediately if they are damaged
by a cut or scrape, extruded at the fittings, or
leaking. Hydraulic oil leaks should be repaired
promptly to avoid loss of oil and serious personal
injury from escaping oil.
Annually
___ Lubricate direct mount control valve joystick link-
age with grease.
