Check the tires regularly for wear, damage and pressure (See Specifications, Page 68 for the correct tire pressure).

Rear tires usually wear faster than front tires. To keep tire wear even, move the front tires to the rear and rear tires to the front [B].

It is important to keep the same size tires on each side of the loader to avoid excessive wear. If different sizes are used, each tire will be turning at a different speed and cause excessive wear. The tread bars of all the tires must face the same direction.

Recommended tire pressure must be maintained to avoid excessive tire wear and loss of stability and handling capability. Check for the correct pressure before operating the loader.

Tire Inflation

Tires are to be repaired only by an authorized person using the proper procedures and safety equipment. Tires and rims must always be checked for correct size before mounting. Check rim and tire bead for damage.

The rim flange must be cleaned and free of rust. The tire bead and rim flange must be lubricated with a rubber lubricant before mounting the tire, avoid excess pressure which can rupture the tire and cause serious injury or death. During inflation of the tire, check the tire pressure frequently to avoid over–inflation.

Do not inflate tires above specified pressure. Failure to use correct tire mounting procedure can cause an explosion which can result in injury or death.

W–2078–1285

FINAL DRIVE TRANSMISSION (CHAINCASE)

Checking and Adding Oil

The chaincase contains the final drive sprockets and chains and uses the same type of oil as the hydraulic/hydrostatic system (See Specifications Section, Page 68).

To check the chaincase oil level, use the following procedure:

Drive the loader onto a level surface. Stop the engine. Remove the plug (Item 1) at the front of the chaincase housing [A].

.

If oil can be reached with the tipof the your finger through the hole the oil level is correct.
