LUBRICATION & PERIODIC MAINTENANCE LUBRICATION DETAILS Grease Fittings Lubricate all grease fittings (refer to TABLE 6) every 50 hours of operation using No. 2 multipurpose lithium base grease. Clean the grease gun and fittings before and after greasing to prevent dirt/dust. 1
NOTE:When operating in muddy or extremely wet conditions, lubricate the all grease fittings daily. Engine Oil & Filter
Low-ash engine oil (Oil quality : ACEA E-9, equivalent to API standard CK-4) must be replaced. FIG. 105
NOTE: Using not applicable engine oil would causes clogging DPF early due to ash. Ash is the metal additives contained in Engine oil. It cannot be removed by burnt and will be accumulated in DPF. After finishing the maintenance with carrying out DPF regeneration for a long time, replace the engine oil. There is a possibility that oil viscosity becomes lower due to mixing the fuel to the engine oil. CAUTION: Muffler tail pipe is extremely hot just after operation, so take care not to touch it to avoid burns. Be sure to wear gloves before checking engine oil level. Engine oil should be changed after the first 50 hours of operation and every 200 hours. Engine oil filter should be changed after the first 50 hours of operation and every 200 hours. FIG. 105: To Check Engine Oil Level - Park tractor on level ground. Make sure to allow the engine to cool sufficiently before checking the engine. Pull out dipstick (1) and check that oil level is between upper limit, F, and lower limit, L, on dipstick. Wipe off dipstick, momentarily reinstall in engine and check oil level again. If the oil level is higher than the cut part on dipstick, replace the engine oil immediately to prevent engine trouble.

FIG. 106: To add oil, open the engine hood and remove the filler cap (2) add oil using a funnel to prevent oil from spilling. After adding oil, make sure that oil level is between upper limit and lower limit on dipstick. NOTE: Add oil slowly to assist in venting air from the crankcase. FIG. 107: To Change Engine Oil - Operate the tractor until oil is adequately warmed. Remove the drain plug (3) from the engine and allow all oil to drain out. Reinstall the drain plug and fill the engine oil through filler opening (2) to the upper limit on the dipstick.
