General
Correct maintenance at the right time is a basic condition for
reliable operation of the tractor. Maintenance costs are small
compared with any repair costs resulting from lack of main-
tenance. The most important measures are those which you
carry out yourself and which include lubrication and various
checks and adjustments.
The service intervals shown apply for normal operating condi-
tions but in more severe conditions servicing should be car-
ried out more frequently.
General instructions
checks and oil filling
--- Always stop the engine before starting work
--- Apply the parking brake to ensure the tractor cannot
move. If the ground is uneven the wheels should be
scotched
--- Wash down the tractor first so that the work can be done
more easily and quickly.
--- Always observe the utmost cleanliness in all mainten-
ance work. Thoroughly wipe off filler caps and plugs as well
as surrounding parts of the tractor before filling up with fuel
or oil.
--- Inspect the oil and filters when changing. Large
amounts of dirt (e.g. heavily clogged filters) can point to a
fault which could cause extensive and costly repairs if not
corrected in time.
---When carrying out checks the tractor should stand on level
ground.
--- Levels should be checked in the morning when the oil
is cold and has had time to run down to the bottom of the unit
concerned.
--- When changing the oil, bear in mind that the oil can be
very hot when it drains from the tractor. Waste oil and oil
filters should be handled carefully and disposed of properly
--- After completion of the service work always replace all
safety covers etc.

Greasing lubricating points fitted with
grease nipples
--- Always clean the grease nipples before applying the
grease gun.
--- Apply grease through the nipples until clean grease
oozes out (unless otherwise instructed).
--- Wipe away superfluous grease which has been
pressed out at the lubricating point.
--- Preferably carry out lubrication with bearing points and
joints unloaded and with the bearings in different positions.

Lubrication and maintenance schedule

All intervals are counted from zero hours on the hour recorder.
For example, 1000 hours service is carried out every 1000
(yearly), 2000 hours (every other year) etc. even if the guaran-
tee service has been carried out.
Example: The 1000 hour service contains all items mentioned
under 10 h/Daily, 50 h/once a week, 250 h, 500 h and 1000 h.
