CHAPTER IV - MAINTENANCE SUMMARY
1. Maintenance Overview
To prolong the useful life of the tractor, to reduce break-downs, and to maintain the value of the tractor,
maintenance is necessary. Because a tractor does significant physical work in often bad weather or ground
conditions, tractors are exposed to strains and impacts which require extra vigilance. While specific scheduled
preventive maintenance can be done at a shop or by a maintenance company at your site, it is the
owner/operator’s responsibility to think “maintenance.” This starts with the concept of “Shift Maintenance”
where the owner/operator needs to check specific things every
8-10 hours of tractor operation. Because it is
unlikely that most owner/operators will have a maintenance company come out to check the tractor each day,
the owner/operator must assume this responsibility. Good maintenance means following the recommended
steps, but it also means being aware of maintenance issues during the tractor operations. With a little care your
tractor should run reliably for many years.
This manual is not intended to be a detailed “how to” maintenance manual. There is additional detail in the
Jinma manual, in the engine manual, and a variety of other sources. This section is only intended to help the
new owner become familiar with the things which need to be done and assist the owner/operator understanding
a little about how to do the normal maintenance.
2. Maintenance Schedule for the Tractor
In order to keep the tractor in excellent condition, prolong its service life and reduce troubles, the users must
often check the mechanical condition of the tractor and strictly carry out recommended maintenance.
Shift Maintenance (every 8-10 Hours of operation or anytime the tractor has been unused for more than 10
days)
1. Clean dirt and mud on the tractor and implements.
2. Check all main fastening bolts and nuts on the tractor, especially the front and rear wheel nuts
.
Tighten if necessary.
3. Check for any leaking of oil, water, and repair if necessary.
4. Check the fluid levels in engine oil crankcase, radiator, fuel tank and hydraulic system; refill if
necessary. Make sure the tractor is on flat ground and is level before checking the fluids.
(Note: To avoid being burned, only check the fluids in the tractor before starting or after the
engine has been stopped for long enough for the fluids to cool.)
5. Check the tire pressure and inflate if necessary.
6. Under the extremely dusty circumstances, the air filter and radiator dust screen should be
checked more often.
7. Determine if the attachments you are planning to use have any Shift maintenance requirements
