DRIVING INSTRUCTIONS AND
MAINTENANCE
LEVEL INDICATOR: The loader is equipped with a
level indicator to help the driver judge the position of the
implement when, for example, handling pallets. See
page 108.
PARALLEL DEVICE: If the loader is lowered or the
implement is tilted at low engine speed, the loader rams
may not be totally re-filled, due to low oil flow. This low
oil flow could cause the following:
The loader beam is lifted if the implement is fully
crowded at ground level.
A certain compression of the implement rams, which
may result in the implement not being entirely under
control.
Therefore, always make a practice of either increasing
the engine speed when lowering or emptying the
implement, or keeping the control device in operating
position until the implement has been re-filled.
(Applies especially to tractors with a low oil flow.)
SCREW UNION: After some days’ initial use, check at
intervals that all nuts and bolts are tightened and
especially that the subframes are properly secured to
the tractor body.Thereafter check regularly when
servicing the tractor.
GREASING: All lubricating points (Illus. 39) are equip-
ped with greasing nipples and should be greased at
least once a week when the loader is being used
regularly.
(Use lubricating grease, type B.P. Energrease L.S.-EP2,
or equivalent.)
Grease the control device cables with thin oil. In winter-
time, use defroster (50 % glycol/water). See the Instruc-
tion Manual of the valve.
Always keep tractor and loader clean, in particular the
loader rams and valves.
Don’t forget to put dust-caps on the quick-couplings
when these are disconnected from the loader / the
implement. If you neglect doing that, dirt may get inside
the hydraulic system, causing damage and expensive
repairs.
Do not forget to check the hydraulic oil level and to
change oil and filters regularly according to prescriptions
from the tractor manufacturer.
Cold and dirty oil will increase the time for the lift- and
implement movements of the loader.
