Loader Inspection, Lubrication, And Maintenance - Koyker 145 Owner's Manual

LOADER INSPECTION, LUBRICATION, AND MAINTENANCE

Lower the bucket to the ground, shut off tractor engine, and relieve the pressure in the hydraulic system
before adjusting, lubricating, or servicing the loader.
Inspect all pins and grease fittings before each use and lubricate with heavy duty grease as indicated in this
manual.
Periodically check all bolts for looseness and re-torque if necessary.
Before storage, be certain all hydraulic cylinders are fully collapsed so that the rod will not be exposed to
the elements or damaged.
Be certain hydraulic system remains sealed at all times to prevent contamination.
Check and maintain an adequate fluid level in the tractor reservoir prior to use.
Inspect all hydraulic system hoses and fittings. Replace prior to further operation if damaged.
WARNING:
Escaping hydraulic oil under pressure can penetrate the skin. Never use any part of your
body to check for hydraulic leaks. Use cardboard when checking for leaks. See Fig. 14-1.
Relieve hydraulic pressure before disconnecting any hydraulic line. Failure to heed may
result in serious injury or death.
