6- Maintaining the regulator and hydraulic unit :
Shutdown the vehicle (see §1-1 of page 3)
Check the oil level and tightness of the tank. Remember to change the oil and
regulator filter every year. To change the filter, unscrew the protection bowl (red).
Clean the inside of the bowl with a cleaning agent (do not use cloth or paper
towels), change the filter and then replace the bowl.
Check the oil level of the gear-box. Make a first oil-change after 50 hours of use
and thereafter annually at least.
Check the condition of the hose.
7- Bed control :
Shutdown the vehicle (see §1-1 of page 3)
Check the wear of chain drives and bearings, lubrication is mandatory
(centralised lubrication).
Check the condition and fastening of the bed slats.
8- Transmission maintenance :
The maintenance of this element is primordial for your safety.
Shutdown the vehicle (see §1-1 of page 3)
Check as often as possible the protection cover of the universal joints
Lubricate the various elements of the PTO and the bearings of the shaft
(periodicity page 31).
Check the wear of shims on the drive shaft and the lubrication.
Lubricate also the universal joints at the ends of the angle transmissions.
To optimise the function directly from the tractor a reflux without brake (push-pull
type) is recommended.
- Output tractor direct about 60L/min for a manual control type MTKA,
otherwise risk of overheating and possible engine failure.
- Output tractor 80L/min for a proportional type regulation with an
electrical control in the cab
- Every year, change the oil in the reservoir, change the regulator filter
and change the unit mesh filter.
WORK ON ANY ELEMENT OF
TRANSMISSION (SHAFTS, CARDANS,
BEARINGS, ...) MUST BE DONE ONLY ON A
FULLY SHUTDOWN MACHINE (STOP THE
TRANSMISSION AND TRACTOR ENGINE).
