Brake system oil replacement
NOTE: it is recommended that this operation is carried
out by skilled persons.
WARNING: when replacing and refilling oil into the
brake system (1), take care that these machines use
a mineral base oil. Refer to the Lubricants and Fuels
chart for oil type. Never mix or exchange these two
types of brake fluid as this could rapidly bring about
brake failure.
WARNING: The oil in the brake circuits has been
studied to operate at a temperature of 100°C, but only
if not polluted by other substances, e.g. water that, if
in considerable quantities, will turn into vapour and
prevent the braking system from operating in the cor-
rect way. Take the necessary precautions to prevent
water from penetrating into the system: protect the
front axle and the components in the braking system
when the tractor is washed; store oil in sheltered
places where water cannot infiltrate. If you think
that there is water in the braking system you must
contact your dealer's specialised personnel and have
it removed. In this case, the rear brake cylinders will
have to be demounted and emptied and particularly
the brake housing of the front axle which, being the
lowest part of the system, is the one most exposed to
this type of fault.
1. Park the tractor on hard level ground.
2. Place a suitable vessel under the brake pump reservoir
(1) to collect oil.
3. Remove a connection between reservoir-pumps and
let all oil drain out.
EVERY 2500 HOURS SERVICE
WARNING: If you need to open the bonnet, follow the procedure indicated under "How to open the bonnet".
Always wait for the engine to cool down before opening the bonnet. Act very carefully.
WARNING: Always use the specific PPE for the operation concerned.
WARNING: service operations must be carried out with the engine off. Check that the gear and the parking brake
are both engaged and that the ignition key has been removed.
WARNING: Beware of burns caused by hot tractor and engine parts. [4.1.n]
4. Fit the union back and fill the reservoir through the
top cap (2) with oil as indicated in the Lubricants and
Fuels chart.
5. Bleed air from the brake circuit (see description in the
"General maintenance").
IMPORTANT: Dispose of oil in accordance with local
law requirements. DO NOT drain oil on the ground, into a
drain or into a container that can leak. Be responsible for
the environment.
NOTE: Use the oil prescribed in the Lubricants and
Fuels chart.
