Daily Maintenance

Regular maintenance of your loader and hydraulic system will insure maximum loader efficiency and long life.

1.Check fluid level of tractor hydraulic system before starting each day’s operation. If necessary, add hydraulic oil as recommended in your tractor operator’s manual.

2.Daily (unless conditions justify more frequently) lubricate all twelve grease fittings; one at each end of lift boom arms and one at rod and base ends of each lift and bucket cylinder.

3.After every ten hours of operation, check all hardware and tighten where required.

4.Replace hoses immediately if they are damaged by a cut or scrape, extruded at the fittings or leaking. Hydraulic oil leaks should be repaired promptly to avoid loss of oil and serious personal injury from escaping oil.

Escaping hydraulic fluid under pressure can penetrate skin, causing serious personal injury.

DO NOT use your hand to check for leaks. Use a piece of wood or cardboard and wear eye protection to search for leaks.

Stop engine and relieve pressure before connecting or disconnecting lines.

Tighten all connections before starting engine or pressurizing lines.

NOTE: If any fluid is injected into skin, obtain medical attention immediately or gangrene may result.
