Maintenance — Brake Fluid Reservoir

Changing Axle Center Oil

NOTE: Remove the optional counterweight, if it is installed.

1.Thoroughly clean the area around the axle center fill plugs (1, Figure 21) and slowly loosen and remove the plugs.

5.Add oil through the oil fill holes (1, Figure 21) until it reaches the bottom of the holes. See “Fluid Capacities/Lubricants” on page11 for the specific oil type and grade.

6.Thoroughly clean the axle center oil fill plugs (1, Figure 21). Replace the plugs with new O-rings and tighten to 70 Nm (52 lbf.-ft.).

Brake Fluid Reservoir Checking Brake Fluid Reservoir Level

1.Perform the “Mandatory Safety Shutdown Procedure” on page4.

2.Open the engine hood.

3.The brake fluid reservoir (H, Fig. 22) is located against the operator platform at the front of the engine compartment.

2.Position a waste oil collection containers, capacity 2.5liters (2.6 quarts) front and 3.2 liters (3.4 quarts) rear, underneath the axle centers to catch oil as it drains.

IMPORTANT: Always dispose of waste oil according to environmental laws or take to a recycling center for proper disposal. DO NOT pour onto the ground or down a drain.

3.Thoroughly clean the area around the axle center drain plugs (2, Figure 21) and slowly loosen and remove the plugs. Allow the oil to completely drain from the axle centers.

4.Thoroughly clean the axle center oil drain plugs. Replace the plugs with new O-rings and tighten the plugs to 70 Nm (52 lbf.-ft.)

4.Carefully remove the brake fluid reservoir fill cap (G). Be careful not to allow dirt to fall into the reservoir.

5.The brake fluid reservoir fluid level should not fall below 1/2 full. Add automatic transmission fluid as required.

Wheels and Tires

Wheel Fasteners

Wheel fastener torque must be checked before initial operation and every two hours thereafter until the wheel mounting hardware torque stabilizes. Torque the wheel fasteners in the order shown (Figure 23). When tires are removed and replaced, this procedure must be repeated. See “Wheels” on page16 for wheel fastener torque specifications, wheel rim dimensions and wheel offset measurements.
