LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT:
Be careful not to rupture the filter
element. Maintain a reasonable distance between
the air nozzle and the filter element when directing
air up and down the clean air side of the element
pleats.
6.
Clean the fins and inside of the air cleaner
body with a dry cloth.
7.
Check with a light bulb inside the element for
leaks in paper or bonding of paper to end
plate. Replace element if any leaks are found.
8
Reassemble the air cleaner.
WASHING ELEMENT
1
Washing may be necessary to remove soot or
oil material.
2.
Agitate the element in warm water containing
a small amount of non sudsing type
detergent.
IMPORTANT: Do not use water hotter than
the hand can stand, as the element will be
damaged. Never wash the element with fuel
oil, gas or solvent. Do not oil the element.
3.
Rinse the element with clean water. Shake
excess water from the element and allow it to
air dry.
IMPORTANT: Do not dry the element with
compressed air, as the air will rupture a wet
element. Also, do not install a wet element as
the tractor engine will not start with a wet
element installed.
4.
After drying, check for damage by holding a
light bulb inside the element. If an even, fine
pattern of light is seen, the element is clean
and undamaged. A bright spot of light
indicates the element is damaged, and a new
element must be installed.
Change the element after six cleanings or
once a year.
TRANSMISSION, REAR AXLE AND HYDRAULIC
SYSTEM
Checking Oil Level: Check the oil level every 50
hours.
1
With the tractor standing level and the engine
off, check the oil level with the dipstick,
Figure 46.
2.
The oil is at the correct level when the oil
level is between the mark and the lower end
of the dipstick. If low, add new oil of the type
specified, page 34, through the fill plug, Figure
47. Do not fill beyond the mark on the stick, as
the transmission will be overfilled.
3.
Install the filler plug and dipstick.
