4 Maintenance
The tractor must be maintained regularly. Correct maintenance at the right time is
essential to ensure reliable operation of the tractor.
Maintenance costs are small compared to repair costs resulting from lack of
maintenance. The most important measures are those you carry out yourself,
including lubrication and various checks and adjustments.
4.1

Maintenance schedule

You can choose running hours-based or annual maintenance schedule for your
tractor.
With both maintenance schedules the maintenance tasks are carried out
according to the periodical maintenance chart.
Running hours-based maintenance
Running hours-based maintenance schedule is recommended for all tractors and
especially for tractors which have more than 1200 running hours in a year. The
periodical maintenance from 50 hours onwards can also be ordered from the
authorised Valtra workshop. In that case the periodical maintenance is carried out
by Valtra authorised and trained service personnel.
Annual maintenance
Annual maintenance schedule is suitable for tractors which have less than 1200
running hours in a year. The schedule should be carried out by an authorised
Valtra workshop but the operator has to carry out the normal daily and weekly
service routines according to the periodical maintenance chart.
