LUBRICATION and MAINTENANCE 

LUBRICATION 

and MAINTENANCE 

Do not perform any service/maintenance 
operations with front loader raised off the 
ground. 

Note: Lower front loader to the ground and 

relieve pressure in loader hydraulic lines prior 

to performing any service/maintenance 

operations on tractor or loader. 

—Keep hands and body from 

pressurized lines. Use paper or cardboard, 
not body parts, to check for leaks. Hydraulic 
oil under pressure will penetrate the skin 
causing serious injury.
 

Make sure that all operating and service 

personnel know that in the event hydraulic 

fluid penetrates the skin, it must be surgically 

removed within a few hours by a doctor 

familiar with this form of injury, or gangrene 
may result.
 

Inspect hydraulic hoses, connections, control 

valve and cylinders for evidence of leakage 

Note: If oil seepage past cylinder rod is 

evident, look for scoring on rod. 

Tractor tire inflation should be checked as 

listed in tractor owner's manual to ensure tire 
inflation is to specification. 

Unequal inflation can result in bucket not 
being level to the ground. 

Front tires should be maintained at maximum 
recommended inflation to maintain normal 

tire profile with added loader weight and 

material. 

—Do not operate the front loader 

If the 

fittings or the hoses are leaking or 

damaged. A sudden line burst could cause 
the main frame to drop suddenly, causing 
damage to the tractor or loader or injury to 

personnel. 

—Accidental movement of 

control lever or leak in the hydraulic system 
could cause main frame to drop, causing 
serious Injury. Do not stand or walk under a

 

raised attachment. 

Note: When checking hydraulic system oil 
level, the loader should be on the ground and 

bucket fully retracted (all cylinders in the 
retracted position). Grease all loader pivot 

points as indicated on lubrication chart.
