Lubrication & Maintenance

This section gives full details of the service procedures necessary to maintain your Tractor at peak efficiency while the lubrication and maintenance chart provides a ready reference to these requirements.

Checks And Service

PRE-START CHECKS

To avoid problems it is recommended that a range of checks be carried out daily before starting the tractor.

For full details of the items and frequency please refer to the tables on page 57,58, and 59

▶Engine coolant

Remove the radiator cap and ensure that the coolant is up to the filler neck and that it is clean with the correct anti-freeze or anti corrosion inhibitor in it.

If the coolant is a rusty color, drain the system completely and refill with the correct mixture of water and anti-freeze or corrosion inhibitor.

▶Engine oil important

Pull out the stick, wipe it and dip in the oil sump.

Ensure that oil level is between the upper and lower mark near the upper mark. If too low add oil, but never excess 100hrs.

Do not overfill the crankcase with oil.

▶Transmission oil

Check the level with the dipstick on top of the transmission in rear of the seat.

If the level is low add oil through the filler hole.

Always ensure that you use the correct oil for topping up or oilchanges

▶ Fuel

Use the fuel gauge to check the fuel level and top up if too low.

It is a good practice to refill the tank immediately after use to avoid condensation

▶ Tire pressure

The air pressure used in the tires has a direct bearing on the life of the tire and its performance in the field.

Ensure that the tire pressures are correct and in accordance with the table on page 59.

To make a visual judgment see the drawing on the right.

It is strongly recommended that tire pressures are checked with a proper gauge only & visual inspections are relied upon.

Important

Danger

Excess tire pressure can cause accidents!

▶ Steering

Ensure that the steering wheel does not have excessive free play.

▶ Brake

Ensure that the left and right brakes are adjusted correctly so they operate simultaneously. The correct free play on the brake is 1.18-1.57 in (30~40 mm).

▶ Clutch

Ensure that the clutch is adjusted correctly. Correct free play on the clutch pedal is 0.78-1.18 in (20~30mm).

Incorrect clutch adjustment can cause excessive wear and reducedtractor performance.

Caution

▶ Electrical

Check the operation of all gauge, switches, horn, lights and indicators.

▶ Installing loader

1.Connect P port of loader control valve to the line on the tractor marked P(from the PTO valve)

2.Connect the T port on the loader control valve to the line on the tractor marked T (to the TPL at the rear of the tractor)

3.Connect the remaining line from the control valve to the line on the tractor marked P1 ( to the transmission housing)

▶ Detaching the loader

1.Detach the hydraulic hoses of loader

2.Assemble the cap (PF1/2) with pipe comp.(PF1/2)
