TROUBLESHOOTING
Automatic Oiler Not Working
1 If the reservoir was cleaned because of moisture or debris, the pump will need to be primed To prime the pump:
A Slowly pour 1/8 cup SAE 30 motor oil into reservoir if no oil in reservoir
B Remove a plug from the pump's manifold (Figure 72)
C Watch for oil to reach the top of the port hole
D Replace the plug
E Air bubbles in the oil lines will push out when the unit is in operation
With the tractor running, watch the oil lines coming from the pump as you press the trigger on the joystick With each press of
the trigger, the lines should "twitch" indicating that oil is at least attempting to be pushed through the lines
2 If the line(s) "twitch" but oil is not getting to the drive chains adequately:
A Check the oil lines for cracks, leaks, or kinks and replace if needed
B Check the oil lines for debris which may be blocking or reducing oil flow and clear the debris if possible If the
debris is unable to be removed from the oil line, replace the oil line
C Check the oiler brushes where they make contact with the drive chains for excessive wear and replace if
needed
D Adjust pump to increase oil output (Figure 73) Loosen the jamb nut and turn the oil adjustment screw counter-
clockwise DO NOT EXCEED 15 TURNS IN EITHER DIRECTION WHEN ADJUSTING OIL FLOW!
