___ _ROUTINE MAINTENANCE_________________
Lower the attachment to rest on the skid shoes and rear roller, shut down the engine,
relieve the hydraulic pressure to the attachment, wait for all motion to stop, and set park brake before
leaving the operator’s seat to perform service of any kind.
It is the operator’s responsibility to make daily inspections of the attachment and loader for damage, loose
bolts, fluid leaks, or anything else that could cause a potential service or safety problem. Preventive
maintenance is the easiest and least expensive type of maintenance.
IMPORTANT:
Bolts and set screws can loosen after initial usage. After first hour of operation check all bolts
and set screws. This must also be done daily before operation. If nuts or bolts are missing or damaged,
replace immediately.
