SERVICE & MAINTENANCE

„Before dismounting power unit or performing any service or maintenance, follow these steps: disengage power to equipment, lower the 3-point hitch and all raised components to the ground, operate valve levers to release any hydraulic pres- sure, set parking brake, stop engine, remove key, and unfasten seat belt.

„Before working underneath, read manual instructions, securely block up, and check stability. Secure blocking prevents equipment from drop- ping due to hydraulic leak down, hydraulic system failure, or mechanical component failure.

„Keep all persons away from operator control area while performing adjustments, service, or maintenance.

„Do not handle knives with bare hands. Careless or improper handling may result in serious injury.

„Make sure shields and guards are properly installed and in good condition. Replace if damaged.

CAUTION

„Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing to avoid getting caught in moving parts. Wear sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and protective equipment for eyes, hair, hands, hearing, and head; and respirator or filter mask where appropriate.

„Make certain all movement of equipment com- ponents has stopped before approaching for ser- vice.

LUBRICANTS

1.Grease

Use an SAE multi-purpose high temperature

grease with extreme pressure (EP) performance. An SAE multi-purpose lithium-based grease is also acceptable.

2.Gearbox Oil

Use an SAE 85W90 gear oil for all operating conditions. Capacity: 2-1/2 U.S. quarts (110 oz.).

Storing Lubricants

Your unit can operate at top efficiency only if clean lubricants are used. Use clean containers to handle all lubricants. Store them in an area protected from dust, moisture, and other contaminants.

GREASING

NOTE: Use the Lubrication Service Record, page 27 to keep a record of all scheduled maintenance.

1.Use a hand-held grease gun for all greasing.

2.Wipe grease fitting with a clean cloth before greasing to avoid injecting dirt and grit.

3.Replace and repair broken fittings immediately.

4.If fittings will not take grease, remove and clean thoroughly. Also clean lubricant passageway. Replace fitting if necessary.

LUBRICATION SCHEDULE

NOTE: Recommendations are based on normal oper- ating conditions. Severe or unusual conditions may require more frequent lubrication or oil changes. Refer to Figure 23.

Daily or every 8 hours of operation

PTO Driveline Lubricate daily or every 8 hours of oper- ation (every 4 hours if U-joints run at angles). See Fig- ure 22 for lubrication points.
