Maintenance
LUBRICANTS
1. Grease: Use an SAE multi-purpose grease
with extreme pressure (EP) performance. Also
acceptable is an SAE multi-purpose lithium base
grease.
2. Storing Lubricants: Your machine can operate at
top efficiency only if clean lubricants are used.
Use clean containers to handle all lubricants.
Store them in an area protected from dust,
moisture and other contaminants.
GREASING
1. Use only a hand-held grease gun for all
greasing.
2. Wipe grease fitting with a clean cloth before
greasing, to avoid injecting dirt.
3. Replace and repair broken fittings
immediately.
4. If fittings will not take grease, remove and
clean thoroughly. Also clean lubricant
passageway. Replace fitting if necessary.
5. Inject grease until you see grease being
expelled from the pin or bushing areas.
MAINTENANCE SAFETY
1. Review the Operator’s Manual and all safety
items before working with, maintaining or
operating the machine.
2. Lower machine to ground, stop the tractor
engine, place all controls in neutral, set
park brake and remove ignition key before
servicing, adjusting or repairing.
3. Clear the area of bystanders, especially
children when carrying out any maintenance
and repairs or making adjustments.
4. Place safety stands or large blocks under
the frame before removing tires or working
beneath the machine.
5. Be careful when working around or
maintaining a high-pressure hydraulic system.
Wear proper eye and hand protection when
searching for a high pressure hydraulic leak.
Use a piece of wood or cardboard as a
backstop when searching for a pin hole leak
in a hose or a fitting.

or working on hydraulic system.
