PRE-OPERATION CHECK OF THE LOADER
PRE-OPERATION CHECK OF THE LOADER
LUBRICATION
Lubricate all grease fittings with SAE multipurpose
grease, including the control arm.
TRANSMISSION FLUID
Check tractor transmission fluid level. Add fluid if
necessary. Refer to the tractor's Operator's Manual for
instructions and proper fluid. Repeat this check after
purging air from the system. At that time, it will be
necessary to add transmission fluid.
A To check tractor transmission fluid level, lower the
bucket to the ground and lower the 3 point hitch.
REAR BALLAST
To avoid serious injury:
A For tractor stability and operator's safety, rear
ballast should be added to the rear of the
tractor in the form of 3-point counter weight
and rear wheel ballast. The amount of rear
ballast will depend on the application.
Implement as Counter Weight
Backhoe
Approx. 262 kg (578 lbs.)
Box Blade
Rear Blade
Approx. 190 kg (420 lbs.)
Rotary Tiller
Ballast Box
BLiquid Ballast in Rear Tires
See "TIRES, WHEELS AND BALLAST" section.
TIRE INFLATION
Insure that the tractor tires are properly inflated.
See "TIRES, WHEELS AND BALLAST" section.
TEST OPERATION
To avoid serious personal injury:
A Keep engine speed at low idle during the test
operation.
A Escaping hydraulic fluid under pressure can
have sufficient force to penetrate skin, causing
serious personal injury.
Before disconnecting lines, be sure to relieve
all pressure.
Before applying pressure to system, be sure all
connections are tight and that lines, tubes and
hoses are not damaged.
Fluid escaping from a very small hole can be
almost invisible. Use a piece of cardboard or
wood, rather than hands to search for
suspected leaks.
If injured by escaping fluid, see a doctor at
once. Serious infection or allergic reaction will
develop if proper medical treatment is not
administered immediately.
A When the lever is at each corner position marked by
asterisk (*), boom and bucket cylinders work at the
same time. However, the blank position (Raise & Roll
back) is not recommended for scooping because of
insufficient lift force.
