Checking the Hydraulic Lines
Service Interval: Every 100 hours—Check the
hydraulic lines for leaks, loose
fittings, kinked lines, loose mounting
supports, wear, weather, and chemical
deterioration and repair if necessary.
Every 1,500 hours/Every 2 years
(whichever comes first)—Replace all
moving hydraulic hoses.
Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can
penetrate skin and cause injury. Fluid injected
into the skin must be surgically removed within
a few hours by a doctor familiar with this form
of injury or gangrene may result.
• Keep your body and hands away from pin
hole leaks or nozzles that eject high pressure
hydraulic fluid.
• Use cardboard or paper to find hydraulic
leaks, never use your hands.
Cleaning
Removing Debris from the
Traction Unit
Important: Operating the engine with blocked
screens, dirty or plugged cooling fins, and/or
cooling shrouds removed, will result in engine
damage from overheating.
1. Park the traction unit on a level surface, lower the
loader arm, and stop the engine.
2. Remove the key and allow the engine to cool.
3. Open the hood.
4. Clean any debris from the front and side screens.
5. Wipe away debris from the air cleaner.
6. Clean any debris build-up on the engine and in the
oil cooler fins with a brush or blower.
Important: It is preferable to blow dirt out,
rather than washing it out. If water is used,
keep it away from electrical items and hydraulic
valves. Do not use a high-pressure washer.
High-pressure washing can damage the
electrical system and hydraulic valves or deplete
grease.
7. Clean debris from the cooler fan grill on the hood.
8. Close the hood.
