Checking Chain Tension
1. Raise the loader following the Loader Raising Procedure (page 48).
2. Rotate each tire by hand. The proper amount of chain defection should be 1/8
in. to 1 in. (3 to 25 mm) forward and rearward. If the chain defection is more
than 1 in. (25 mm) or less than 1/8 in. (3 mm) in either direction, the chains
should be adjusted.
Adjusting Chain Tension
1. Raise the loader following the Loader Raising Procedure (page 48).
2. Remove the tire from the axle to be adjusted.
3. Loosen (but DO NOT remove) the bolts holding the axle to the chaincase.
4. Front Chain Tension – To tighten the front chain, move the front axle assem-
bly toward the front of the loader. To loosen the chain, move the front axle
assembly toward the rear of the loader.
Rear Chain Tension – To tighten the rear chain, move the rear axle assembly
rearward. To loosen the chain, move the rear axle assembly toward the front of
the loader.
5. After proper tension is achieved, retighten the bolts.
Important: Be careful not to over-tighten the drive chains. Over-tightening will
cause premature drive chain and axle sprocket wear.
6. Reinstall the tire.
7. Repeat Steps 2 through 6 for any other axle requiring adjustment.
8. Lower the loader following the Loader Lowering Procedure (page 49).
Engine Air Cleaner
Important: Failure to follow proper filter servicing instructions could result in
catastrophic engine damage.
The air cleaner assembly consists of an outer (primary) filter element and an
inner (secondary) filter element. An air filter restriction indicator for monitoring
the condition of the elements is located on the front of the air cleaner. If the air
filter becomes restricted, this indicator turns red to warn the operator that the air
cleaner requires service. Push the reset button located at the end of the indicator
after fitting a clean element. For replacement elements, refer to the Replacement
Parts chart (page 48).
Note: Before replacing the filter element(s), push the reset button on the indi-
cator. Start the engine and adjust the throttle to full speed. If the indicator does
not turn red, do not replace the element(s).
