5. LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE
Warning!
Never stand between the front of the tractor and
the loader's cross tubes.
5.1. Lubrication points
Lubricate the following grease nipples with universal
grease every 10 operating hours.
Warning!
Risk of crushing and jamming
The loader may fall downwards.
Lower the implement to the ground and close the
attachment before starting to lubricate.
5.2. Storage
Apply a thin layer of grease on visible piston rods in order
to protect them.
5.3. Hoses and cylinders
Read this before checking the hydraulic system for leakage:
Warning!
Pressurised oil.
Hydraulic oil at high pressure can be injected
into the body in the event of leakage and cause
serious injury, blindness or fatality. Leakage may
be invisible.
Use approved protective safety glasses and
protect the skin using strong leather gloves for
example. Use cardboard or wood for leakage
detection. If fluid has entered the skin then it
MUST be removed within a couple of hours by a
doctor who can treat this type of injury.
Check hoses and connections for wear and leakage
at regular intervals. Ensure that hoses have sufficient
clearance and do not scrape against other components.
Replace damaged hoses and tighten all connections.
