4 MAINTENANCE
4. 3C Air Cleaner Service
Inspect the air cleaner service indicator (Fig. 4. 3C). If the
indicator element shows red, the filter element must be
replaced. (See Section 4.9B). Check that all hose clamps
are tight and the hose is undamaged. Check the vacuator
valve for damage.
4. 3D Tires and Wheel Bolts
Inspect tires for wear or damage. Check and inflate tires to
correct pressure:
Standard Tires (5.90 x 15) 50 P.S.I. (345 kPa)
Flotation Tires (8.5 x 15) 40 - 45 P.S.I. (276 - 310
kPa)
To prevent shearing of the wheel bolts and rim damage,
check wheel bolts for proper torque 80 - 90 lbs. ft. (109 -
122 Nm) (Fig. 4. 3D).
4. 3E Safety Equipment
Check all safety equipment for proper operation and
condition - 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 silicone based lubricant. Repair or replace if
necessary.

Replace any damaged or missing decals. (Refer to Section
5. 4 for decal description and locations).

Bucket Cylinder Bushings (4)
Engine Universal Joint (2)
Quick - Tach Pivot (2)
To avoid personal injury,
check all safety
