MAINTENANCE 8.1 8.1.3 DAILY SERVICE CHECK 1.3E Safety Equipment 1.3A Radiator Service Check all safety equipment for proper operation and con- dition - seat belt, boom support, seat bar, foot pedal lock, parking brake, quick tach lock, shields and safety treads. Lubricate all linkages, springs and pivot points with a sili- cone based lubricant. Repair or replace if necessary. With the engine cool remove the radiator cap and check the coolant level. If adding coolant is required fill with a 50% mixture of ethylene glycol and water for cold weather pro- tection. 1.3F Decals The radiator cooling fins must be kept free of debris, oth- erwise overheating of the engine will occur.
Inspect the radiator cooling fins for damage or buildup of debris. Repair any damage and if necessary flush the radiator with compressed air to remove debris. Check the condition of all safety and instruction decals. Replace any damaged or missing decals. Refer to section 8. 3 for decal description and locations. 1.3G Lubrication There are sixteen grease fittings located on the loader that require lubrication every eight hours. (See Section 6) Lubricate with a good quality multi-purpose lithium based grease. Apply grease until excess shows. 1.3B Hydraulic Oil Level Check the oil level with the machine on a level surface with the lift arms down and the bucket flat on the ground.
Open the rear door and check the oil level sight glass (See Section 1). If oil is apparent the oil level is satisfactory. Refer to the service schedule for complete service details. the sixteen lubrication points are: If it necessary to add oil, remove the reservoir cap located at the top of the oil reservoir and add oil until oil appears in the oil level sight glass. Rear Boom Pivots (2) Boom Cylinder Bushings (4) Bucket Cylinder Bushings (4) Boom Supports (2) Quick - Tach Pivot and Lock Pins (4) Use a good quality 10W30 oil which meets the API classi- fication SJ only.
1.3H Oil Cooler Service 1.3C Air Cleaner The oil cooler fins must be kept free of debris otherwise over heating of the hydraulic oil will occur. Check the cooler and if necessary remove debris by flushing with compressed air and / or water. The loader is equipped with an air cleaner restriction warn- ing lamp. Should this lamp illuminate, shut off the engine and deter- mine the cause. Possible plugged air filter. 1.3J Engine Oil Level To check the oil level, stop the engine with the loader on level ground, open the rear door and remove the dipstick. Check that all hose clamps are tight and the hose is undam- aged. Check the vacuator valve for damage.
Keep the oil level between the full and low mark of the dip- stick (See Section 7). Do not fill above the full mark – use 10W30 API classification CF oil. 1.3D Tires and Wheel Nuts Inspect tires for wear or damage. Check and inflate tires to correct pressure: 12.5 x 16.5 . . . .40-45 P.S.I. (276-310 KPa) 10.00 x 16.5 . . . 40-45 P.S.I. (276-310 KPa) 8 To prevent shearing of the wheel studs and rim damage check wheel nuts for proper torque 100 -110 lbs. ft. (136 - 149 N.M.) daily. After changing a rim, check wheel nuts hourly, until the reading stabilizes. 8-5
