Maintenance Schedule
(
Refer also to Summary Chart, above)
1. Bolted Connections
All bolted connections of the machine should be checked after the first 3 to 5 hours of operation and
retightened if necessary and thereafter at regular intervals. It is suggested that this is done every 500
hectares or annually, whichever occurs first.
2. Gearbox
The oil level in the gearbox can be seen in the oil gauge window. Changing the gearbox oil is
recommended once a year or sooner if the oil is discoloured. For draining, remove the drain plug at
the bottom of the gearbox and the fill plug at the top. Replace drain plug before refilling
Castrol Oil Agri Trans Plus or equivalent* should be used.
The total filling capacity is 1.25 litres.
DO NOT OVERFILL.
*Oil Specification to meet the requirements of : SAE 10W-30, API GL-4, Massey Ferguson M1143,
John Deere J20C, J20D, Case MS 1207, Ford/New Holland M2C-134D, M2C-86 A/B/C
3. Hydraulics
Ensure hydraulic couplings (male & female) are clean before connecting. Dirty couplings will result in
hydraulic oil contamination and hydraulic seal and bore damage which will cause oil leakage past the
seals.
No filter is fitted to the hydraulic system. If the hydraulic fittings and the oil supply are not going to
be kept clean then it is recommended that a filter be fitted to prevent hydraulic cylinder damage.
