LUBRICATION and MAINTENANCE
Do not perform any service/maintenance
operations with front loader raised off the
ground.
Note: Lower front loader to the ground and
relieve pressure in loader hydraulic lines prior
to performing any service/maintenance
operations on tractor or loader.
—Keep hands and body from
pressurized lines. Use paper or cardboard,
not body parts, to check for leaks. Hydraulic
oil under pressure will penetrate the skin
causing serious injury.
Make sure that all operating and service
personnel know that in the event hydraulic
fluid penetrates the skin, it must be surgically
removed within a few hours by a doctor
familiar with this form of injury, or gangrene
may result.
—Do not operate the front loader
If the fittings or the hoses are leaking or
damaged. A sudden line burst could cause
the main frame to drop suddenly, causing
damage to the tractor or loader or injury to
personnel.
—Accidental movement of
control lever or leak in the hydraulic system
could cause main frame to drop, causing
serious Injury. Do not stand or walk under a
raised attachment.
Note: When checking hydraulic system oil
level, the loader should be on the ground and
bucket fully retracted (all cylinders in the
retracted position). Grease all loader pivot
points as indicated on lubrication chart.
LUBRICATION and MAINTENANCE
Inspect hydraulic hoses, connections, control
valve and cylinders for evidence of leakage
Note: If oil seepage past cylinder rod is
evident, look for scoring on rod.
Tractor tire inflation should be checked as
listed in tractor owner's manual to ensure tire
inflation is to specification.
Unequal inflation can result in bucket not
being level to the ground.
Front tires should be maintained at maximum
recommended inflation to maintain normal
tire profile with added loader weight and
material.
