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 other-
wise overheating of the engine will occur. Inspect the radi-
ator cooling fins for damage or buildup of debris. Repair
any damage and if necessary clean the radiator cooling fins
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 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 a locking air cleaner restriction
indicator.
Should this indicator show red, service the air cleaner
assembly and filter element.
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:
8.5 x 15 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 40 - 45 psi
5.9 x 15 ......................................50 - 55 psi
To prevent shearing of the wheel studs and rim damage
check wheel nuts for proper torque 100 -110 ft lbs(136 -
149 Nm), and wheel bolts 80-85 ft lbs (108-115Nm) daily.
After changing a rim, check wheel nuts/bolts 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 fourteen grease fittings located in 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 fourteen lubrication points are:
Rear Boom Pivots (2)
Boom Cylinder Bushings (4)
Bucket Cylinder Bushings (4)
Engine U-joint (2)
Quick - Tach Pivot (2)
Also lubricate the Boom support pins and the Q-tach lock-
ing pins. These are easily greased using a small brush.
1.3H 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 o the dip-
stick (See Section 7). Do not fill above the full mark – use
10W30 API classification CF oil up to LB003381. Use
5W40 API CF-4 oil for LB003382 onward.
