Trencher Assembly Instructions; Service Information - Barreto 1324D Owner's Manual

1.
Upon delivery, check for freight damage and any missing items. Notify the carrier and Barreto
Manufacturing immediately of any damage so a claim can be filed. Remove trencher from
shipping crate.
2.
When documentation refers to "right side" or "left side", it is relative to the operator's position
with both hands on the handlebars.
3.
Install the boom onto boom pivot/mount with the 7/8" wide wear strip on the bottom side of
the boom. Push the boom on as far as it will go. Be sure the adjuster screw is backed out.
• Check reservoir level using sight glass on the left side of the tank. If required, add to reservoir
tractor transmission / hydraulic fluid. For machine use in ambient temperatures between +32°F
(0°C) and +90°F (32°C) hydraulic fluid ISO 68 is recommended. If the machine is operated at
temperatures below +32°F (0°C) then hydraulic fluid ISO 46 is recommended. The tank holds
approximately 14 gallons of hydraulic oil. Recheck oil level after the trencher has been run and
oil has been circulated through the wheel and chain motors. Routinely check level thereafter.
DO NOT OVERFILL THE TANK.
• Change the hydraulic oil filter after the first 50 hours of use. Change it every 200 hours
thereafter.
• Add 1 quart of hydraulic oil to the reservoir with each filter change.
• Discard the old filter according to environmental standards in your geographic area.
• Check all hydraulic fittings for leaks and tighten if necessary.
• Grease per the following schedule:
a. Boom Pivot – Daily
b. Outboard Bearings – Daily
c. Wheel Hubs, 1 zerk for each hub – Monthly
d. Cylinder Pins (2) – Daily
e. Cylinder Rod End (thru hole in motor cover) – Daily
f. Sprocket Hub Bearing – Daily
g. Front Wheel Axle – Weekly
h. Chain Roller – Daily
IMPORTANT: The engine is normally serviced prior to shipping. However, shipping regulations
may prohibit this. Check levels and add oil and fuel as required before starting. Service according to
the engine manual before starting.
IMPORTANT: If the couplers between the engine and the pump are
moved or removed for any reason, it is CRITICAL that they have a 1/16"
gap between them when reinstalled. Failure to have this gap will result in
rapid wear and failure of your pump!
NOTE: It is very important to move the fuel shutoff lever to the closed position after
stopping the engine. Failure to do so could cause fuel to leak down into the cylinder and
crankcase. Damage resulting from this will void your engine warranty and not be covered.
WARNING: Running the engine without hydraulic oil will cause serious damage to
the hydraulic pump. CHECK RESERVOIR LEVEL BEFORE STARTING THE
MACHINE.
