LOADER INSPECTION, SERVICE, 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.
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.
Periodically inspect the two grease fittings for the engagement pins. See page 21 for adapter
parts diagram.
WARNING!
Escaping hydraulic oil under pressure can penetrate the skin. Never use body to check for
hydraulic leaks. Use cardboard when checking for leaks. See Fig. 13-1. Relieve hydraulic pressure
before disconnecting any hydraulic line. Failure to heed may result in serious injury or death.
