Lubrication Fittings - New Holland TC21D Operator's Manual

LUBRICATION FITTINGS

NOTE: After every 50 hours of normal operation,
apply a good quality grease to the lubrication points
listed below (refer to the Recommended Lubricants
chart). When operating under extremely dirty
conditions, lubricate more frequently than every 50
hours.
Steering Linkage
•
Front Axle Pivot
•
Front Wheel Spindles (2WD)
•
Power Steering Cylinder
•
Pedal Shaft—Clutch & Brake Pedals
•
3-Point Linkage
•
To lubricate these points:
1. Wipe away all old grease and dirt from the
lubrication fittings to prevent dirt or foreign
material from entering as new grease is applied.
2. Use a high pressure grease gun to force in the
new grease. Apply pressure until clean grease
oozes from each lubrication point.
3. Wipe away any excess grease.
DIESEL FUEL
Use clean, quality No. 1-D or No. 2-D fuel (ASTM
•
D975).
Use No. 1-D fuel if the ambient temperature is
•
expected to be lower than 4°C (40°F) or if the
loader is to be used at an altitude exceeding 1524
m (5000 ft.).
Use No. 1-2 diesel fuel with a pour point of at
•
least -12°C (10°F) below the expected ambient
temperature to prevent fuel flow problems in cold
weather.
Keep dirt from entering the fuel tank.
•
SECTION 3 - LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE
3-3
Sulfur content of the fuel should be no more than
•
0.5%.
Sediment and water content should not exceed
•
0.05%.
Minimum cetane number is 40. Low temperature
•
or high altitude operation may require use of fuel
with a higher cetane number.
Use properly mixed winter fuel when tempera-
•
tures are extremely cold. In most areas, diesel
fuel is properly blended for summer and winter
grades as ambient temperatures change. In
winter, use winter grade diesel fuel only.
Otherwise, the fuel may cloud and block the fuel
system.
Fuel Usage Safety
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES should gaso-
•
line, alcohol, or gasohol be added to diesel fuel.
These combinations can create an increased fire
or explosive hazard.
Never remove the fuel cap or refuel the tractor
•
while the engine is running or hot.
Never smoke while refueling or anywhere near
•
fuel.
When filling the tank, maintain control of the
•
nozzle.
Do not fill the fuel tank to capacity. Allow room for
•
expansion.
Wipe up spills immediately.
•
Always tighten the fuel cap securely.
•
If the original fuel tank cap is lost, always replace
•
it with a New Holland approved cap. A "will-fit"
cap may not be safe.
Keep equipment properly maintained.
•
Do not drive equipment near open fires.
•
Never use gasoline for cleaning parts.
