WARNING

To avoid serious injury, perform maintenance on the tractor or dozer blade only when the engine is stopped, parking brake is set and all moving parts have stopped. Always remove the ignition key before beginning maintenance or adjustments to prevent accidental starting of the engine.

When performing service work, support the blade using wood blocks placed under the scraper bar or skid shoes.

Never put hands or feet under the dozer blade.

Lubricate Dozer Blade

Lubricate the dozer blade as shown in Figure 2. Where an oil can is shown, wipe the area clean, apply a few drops of oil (SAE 30), then wipe up drips or spills.

In general, linkage connections and other parts that have partial rotational or sliding movement should be lubricat- ed periodically with SAE 30 weight oil. Avoid applying excessive amounts of oil since this may cause a build-up of dirt around the lubricated area, making subsequent lubrication more difficult to accomplish.
