EVERY 50 HOURS

OPERATION 24

Check the Planetary Hub Oil Level

The oil in the four planetary hubs (two on each axle) must be maintained at the proper level to provide lubrication for the outboard planetaries.

To check the planetary hub oil level, rotate the tire so that the check plug, 1, is at the 3 o’clock position. Remove the check plug and see if oil runs out or is level with the plug opening. If no oil runs out, the hub requires oil. Remove the fill plug, 2, and add oil until it runs out of the check plug, 1.

Check the differential oil level when the tractor is on a level surface and has been stationary for one hour to allow the oil in the axle and planetary hubs to level out.

Buhler Versatile recommends 85W140 GL5 oil be used in temperatures above 0°C (32°F) or 80W90 GL5 in temperatures below 0°C (32°F). This oil is available from your Buhler Versatile dealer.

OPERATION 25

Check Tire Air Pressure

It is extremely important that tires (singles, duals, or triples) are kept at proper inflation pressures, based on the load being carried by the tires.

A special tire gauge capable of measuring low pressure,0 to 1.4 bar (0 to 20 PSI), is available from your Buhler Versatile Dealer.

NOTE: If the tires are ballasted with a calcium chloride/water solution, check pressure with the valve stem at the top of the tire.

See the “Tire Load and Inflation Tables” in Section 5 of this manual for the proper inflation pressures.
