Storage
IMPORTANT NOTE
Refer to Tractor Operator's Manual for
important information concerning safely
storing your tractor.
Daily Storage
1. Allow tractor engine to cool before storing in any
enclosure.
2. After dozing jobs are completed, hose or brush down
the blade to remove excess dirt.
3. Lightly oil all pivot points. Coat bare metal surfaces to
prevent corrosion.
Maintenance
Schedule For Normal Care
Care Required
Clean debris from
dozer blade.
Lubricate dozer blade.
WARNING
To avoid serious injury, perform maintenance on
the tractor or dozer blade only when the engine is
stopped, parking brake is set and all moving parts
have stopped. Always remove the ignition key
before beginning maintenance or adjustments to
prevent accidental starting of the engine.
When performing service work, support the blade
using wood blocks placed under the scraper bar
or skid shoes.
Never put hands or feet under the dozer blade.
Figure 3. Lubrication Points
Schedule
After each use.
Every 10 hours or at
least once a year.
Off-Season Storage
1. Remove dozer blade from the tractor. Hitch can
remain installed if other front mounted attachments
are to be used.
2. Use water pressure or a brush to thoroughly clean
the dozer blade.
3. Paint, or lightly coat with oil, any area where paint
has been worn or chipped away.
4. Lubricate the dozer blade.
5. Store the dozer blade and hitch in a dry place.
Lubricate Dozer Blade
Lubricate the dozer blade as shown in Figure 3. Where
an oil can is shown, wipe the area clean, apply a few
drops of oil (SAE 30), then wipe up drips or spills.
In general, linkage connections and other parts that have
partial rotational or sliding movement should be lubricat-
ed periodically with SAE 30 weight oil. Avoid applying
excessive amounts of oil since this may cause a build-up
of dirt around the lubricated area making subsequent
lubrication more difficult to accomplish.
