8.1.3 DAILY SERVICE CHECK
1.3A Radiator Service
With the engine cool remove the radiator cap and check the
coolant level. If adding coolant is required fill with a 50%
mixture of ethylene glycol and water for cold weather pro-
tection.
The radiator cooling fins must be kept free of debris, oth-
erwise overheating of the engine will occur. Inspect the
radiator cooling fins for damage or buildup of debris.
Repair any damage and if necessary flush the radiator with
compressed air to remove debris.
1.3B Hydraulic Oil Level
Check the oil level with the machine on a level surface with
the lift arms down and the bucket flat on the ground. Open
the rear door and check the oil level sight glass (See
Section 1). If oil is apparent the oil level is satisfactory.
If it necessary to add oil, remove the reservoir cap located
at the top of the oil reservoir and add oil until oil appears in
the oil level sight glass.
Use a good quality 10W30 oil which meets the API classi-
fication SJ only.
1.3C Air Cleaner
The loader is equipped with an air cleaner restriction warn-
ing lamp.
Should this lamp illuminate, shut off the engine and deter-
mine the cause. Possible plugged air filter.
Check that all hose clamps are tight and the hose is undam-
aged. Check the vacuator valve for damage.
1.3D Tires and Wheel Nuts
Inspect tires for wear or damage. Check and inflate tires to
correct pressure:
12.5 x 16.5 . . . .40-45 P.S.I. (276-310 KPa)
10.00 x 16.5 . . . 40-45 P.S.I. (276-310 KPa)
To prevent shearing of the wheel studs and rim damage
check wheel nuts for proper torque 100 -110 lbs. ft. (136 -
149 N.M.) daily. After changing a rim, check wheel nuts
hourly, until the reading stabilizes.
1.3E Safety Equipment
Check all safety equipment for proper operation and con-
dition - seat belt, boom support, seat bar, foot pedal lock,
parking brake, quick tach lock, shields and safety treads.
Lubricate all linkages, springs and pivot points with a sili-
cone based lubricant. Repair or replace if necessary.
1.3F Decals
Check the condition of all safety and instruction decals.
Replace any damaged or missing decals. Refer to section 8.
3 for decal description and locations.
1.3G Lubrication
There are sixteen grease fittings located on the loader that
require lubrication every eight hours. (See Section 6)
Lubricate with a good quality multi-purpose lithium based
grease. Apply grease until excess shows.
Refer to the service schedule for complete service details.
the sixteen lubrication points are:
Rear Boom Pivots (2)
Boom Cylinder Bushings (4)
Bucket Cylinder Bushings (4)
Boom Supports (2)
Quick - Tach Pivot and Lock Pins (4)
1.3H Oil Cooler Service
The oil cooler fins must be kept free of debris otherwise
over heating of the hydraulic oil will occur. Check the
cooler and if necessary remove debris by flushing with
compressed air and / or water.
1.3J Engine Oil Level
To check the oil level, stop the engine with the loader on
level ground, open the rear door and remove the dipstick.
Keep the oil level between the full and low mark of the dip-
stick (See Section 7). Do not fill above the full mark – use
10W30 API classification CF oil.
