ROUTINE
MAINTENANCE
Lower the attachment to rest, 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 loader and attachment 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 the first hour of operation check all
bolts and set screws.
No. 2 Lithium
base gun grease
Clean engine oil
Use No. 2 lithium base gun grease when lub-
ricating all attachment grease fittings.
Grease all hinge pins [A] once every eight (8)
hours, or more frequently during heavy use.
Keep
slides
[B]
clean
and
free
from
obstructions. DO NOT grease slides as this will
cause dirt to collect and lead to faster wear.
If blades become dull, they can be sharpened
using a grinder. To remove blades for
sharpening, secure the blade with the lift ring,
remove the pin connecting the cylinder to the
blade, and remove the bolts securing the blade
to the slide plate.
