Maintenance
Corr ect maintenance at the right time is essential for reliable
operation of the tractor. Maintenance costs are small com-
pared with repair costs resulting from lack of maintenance.
The most important measures are those which you carry
out yourself which include lubrication and various checks
and adjustments. The service intervals shown apply for
normal operating conditions but in more severe conditions
servicing should be carried out more frequently.
Carrying out the maintenance
Other points:
--- Lubricate according to chart
--- Road test tractor. Check during the road test all the func-
tions of the controls and instruments. After the road test,
check for oil leaks, check the coolant and fuel system.
--- Always stop the engine before starting work.
--- Apply the parking brake to ensure the tractor cannot
move. If the ground is uneven the wheels should be
blocked.
--- Wash down the tractor first so that the work can be done
easily and quicker. NOTE: Do not let the water get to
the electrical equipment when washing the machine.
--- Always observe the utmost cleanliness in all mainten-
ance work. Thoroughly wipe off filler caps and plugs as
well as surrounding parts of the tractor before filling up
with fuel or oil. Large amounts of dirt (e.g. heavily clogged
filters) can point to a fault which could cause extensive
and costly repairs if not corrected in time.
--- When carrying out checks the tractor should stand on
level ground.
--- Levels should be checked in the morning when the oil is
cold and has had time to run down to the bottom of the
unit concerned.
--- When changing the oil, bear in mind that the oil can be
very hot when it drains from the tractor. Waste oil and oil
filters should be handled carefully and disposed of
properly.
--- Avoid touching the exhaust manifold, turbocharger and
other hot parts of the engine.
--- Keep the engine surfaces clean in order to avoid the risk
of fire.
--- The fuel, lubricating oil and coolant cause irritation to skin
if in contact for long periods.
--- After completion of service work replace all safety covers
etc.
Greasing lubricating points fitted with grease
nipples
--- Always clean the grease nipples before applying the
grease gun.
--- Apply grease through the nipples until clean grease
oozes out (unless otherwise instructed).
--- Wipe away superfluous grease which has been pressed
outatthelubricatingpoint.
--- Preferably carry out lubrication with bearing points and
joints unloaded and with the bearings in different posi-
tions.
Scheduled maintenance
The maintenance schedule begins with the running hour
meter reading 0. This means that maintenance scheduled
at 500 h intervals is performed at meter readings 500 h,
1000 h etc., even if the same procedures were carried out
at the 50 h maintenance. At the 1000 h maintenance, for
example, the daily, weekly and 500 hour maintenance pro-
cedures must also be undertaken.
Service inspection (after 100 hours)
Your dealer gives a cost---free service inspection (excluding
oil and filter costs) to all new tractors after 100 hours run-
ning.
The service procedure is as follows:
20 Engine:
--- Change engine oil and filter
--- Change prefilter, fuel system
--- Change fuel filter
40 Power transmission:
--- Change pressure filters and hydraulic return filter
60 Front axle and steering system:
--- Change oil in differential
--- Change oil in hubs
