Maintenance
Oil level: transmission, power lift
circuit and steering circuit, rear
final drives
Checkatregularintervalstheoillevelinthemechanical
transmissionandinthepowerliftandsteeringcircuits.
Parkthetractoronflatground,stoptheengineandlower
thepowerlift links.Removethedipstick(1)and check
theoillevel.
NOTE: Allow the oil to settle in the transmission and
rear final drives before checking the level.
Theoillevelinthetransmissionmustbeoverthemidli-
ne,betweentheminimumandmaximummarksofthe
dipstickwiththeliftlinksintheupposition.Ifneeded,
fillupthroughthefiller(2)totherequiredlevelwithoilof
theprescribedtype.
When operating external hydraulics, such as hydraulic
front loaders, rams, motors etc. that require a certain
amountofoil,topuptheoilleveltotheBmarkonthe
dipstick(correspondingtoabout10litres).Thisensures
acorrectoillevelinthetransmissionatanytime.
NOTE: The level must never be under the Min. mark;
When using external hydraulics, the level must always
be between the Min. and Max. marks.
NOTE: When working with the tractor on slopes, add 5
extra litres of oil to guarantee a minimum oil level even
in the most difficult conditions.
NOTE: The hydraulic rams of the implements being
hitched to the tractor contain the same oil used in the
transmission of the tractor. This excludes any oil conta-
mination that could cause malfunction.
Oil in the gearbox
Thetractor’s transmission and the steering and power
liftcircuitscontain the same type of oil. See Lubricant
andFuelChart.
