Lubrication
Daily
•Check the level of hydraulic oil in tractor before starting each day’s operation. If necessary, add oil as recommended in your tractor owner’s manual.
IMPORTANT: When adding oil to the tractor reservoir, always use hydraulic oil as specified in the tractor operator’s manual.
•Lubricate after every eight hours of operation (See
Figure 30):
-Apply lubrication to the grease fitting in the hub at the mast end (rearward end) of each boom arm.
-Apply lubrication to the grease fittings at the each end of both boom lift cylinders.
-Apply lubrication to the grease fitting in the hub at the upper end of each bucket cylinder.
-Apply lubrication to the grease fittings in the outer end of all four pivot pins of the loader bucket.
General Maintenance
After every eight hours of operation, check all hard- ware and tighten where required.
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.
