MAINTENANCE 8.1 8.1.3 DAILY SERVICE CHECK 1.3E Safety Equipment 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. 1.3A Radiator Service 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. The radiator cooling fins must be kept free of debris other- wise overheating of the engine will occur.
Inspect the radi- ator cooling fins for damage or buildup of debris. Repair any damage and if necessary flush the radiator with com- pressed air to remove debris. 1.3F Decals Check the condition of all safety and instruction decals. Replace any damaged or missing decals. Refer to the parts book or owners manual for decal locations, description and part numbers. 1.3B Hydraulic Oil Level 1.3G Lubrication 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.
There are sixteen grease fittings located in 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. If 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. Refer to the service schedule for complete service details. the sixteen lubrication points are: 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 SE/CD only.
1.3C Air Cleaner 1.3H Engine Oil Level The loader is equipped with an air restriction service indi- cator. To check the oil level, stop the engine with the loader on level ground, open the rear door and remove the dipstick. Should the indicator window color change from green to red, the air cleaner system is restricted or clogged. Service the air cleaner system immediately. Keep the oil level between the full and low mark on the dip- stick (See Section 7). Do not fill above the full mark. Check that all hose clamps are tight and the hose is undam- aged. Check the vacuator valve for damage. 1.3D Tires and Wheel Nuts 8 Inspect tires for wear or damage.
Check and inflate tires to correct pressure: 8.50 X 15 . . . . 30 -35 P.SI. (207 - 241 KPa) 10.50 x 15 . . . 30 -35 P.SI. (207 - 241 KPa) 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. 8-7
