SECTION 00 - GENERAL INFORMATION - CHAPTER 1
00-10
Adequate lubrication and maintenance on a regular
schedule is vital to maintaining your equipment. To
ensure long service and efficient operation, follow the
lubrication and maintenance schedules outlined in
this manual. The use of proper fuels, oils, grease and
filters, as well as keeping the systems clean, will also
extend machine and component life.
IMPORTANT: Always use genuine Case IH
replacement parts, oils and filters to ensure proper
operation, filtration of engine and hydraulic systems.
See your Case IH dealer for additional oil quantities.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Regular lubrication is the best insurance against
delays and repairs. Proper lubrication will extend
machine life. Refer to the following charts for
lubricants and service intervals.
IMPORTANT: Failure to complete the required
maintenance at the recommended intervals can
cause unnecessary downtime.
The intervals listed in the Lubrication Chart are
guidelines to be used when operating in normal
conditions. Adjust the intervals for operating in
adverse environmental and working conditions. The
intervals should be shortened for sandy, dusty and
extremely hot operating conditions.
CAUTION
Observe these safety precautions before per-
forming lubrication and maintenance.
1. Shut off engine.
2. Disengage all drives.
3. Lower all attachments to the ground or raise
and engage all locks
4. Close all shields opened and reinstall any
shields removed for lubrication and mainte-
nance proposes.
CAUTION
Some illustrations in this manual show shields
opened or removed to show areas being
serviced. Replace all shields before operating
this machine.
Always clean the area around dipsticks, fill caps, and
check plugs when checking fluid levels. Failure to
clean these areas may allow contamination to enter
the system. Drain, flush and refill the system anytime
you suspect it is contaminated.
Grease Fittings
Wipe dirt from fittings before greasing.
Pump fresh grease into fitting to adequately lubricate
the component and force out any contamination from
the grease passage.
Wipe off excess grease.
Use a grease gun containing clean high grade of
multipurpose grease.
Chains
Stop all drives before lubricating chains.
