124 MAINTENANCE OF THE LOADER
MAINTENANCE OF THE LOADER
To avoid personal injury or death:
A Escaping hydraulic fluid under pressure can
have sufficient force to penetrate skin, causing
serious personal injury. Before disconnecting
lines, be sure to relieve all pressure.
Before applying pressure to system, be sure all
connections are tight and that lines, tubes, and
hoses are not damaged. Fluid escaping from a
very small hole can be almost invisible. Use a
piece of cardboard or wood, rather than your
hands, to search for suspected leaks.
If injured by escaping fluid, see a doctor at
once. Serious infection or allergic reaction will
develop if proper medical treatment is not
administered immediately.
A When removing the engine side covers, be
careful not to touch hot loader cylinders.
Allow all surfaces to cool before performing
maintenance.
A Before servicing the loader or the tractor, be
sure to place the loader boom in contact with
the ground. If the loader boom must be raised
during service or maintenance, support the
boom as shown in the figure.
To avoid personal injury or death:
A
Be sure to check and service the tractor on a
flat place with the bucket on the ground, engine
shut off, the key removed and the parking
brake on.
DAILY CHECKS

Tighten hardware to torque values as specified in the
"Tightening Torque Chart".
2. With the engine off and the bucket on the ground,
