Lubrication and Periodic Service

LX1017686-UN-01OCT97

CAUTION: Do not lubricate or adjust the tractor while the engine is running unless recommended to do so.

The intervals at which the various parts should be checked, lubricated, serviced or adjusted are based on the actual hours of operation as shown on the hour meter. The meter operates whenever the engine is running and shows the accumulated hours of engine operation.

Every 250 hours, an acoustic warning signal goes off as the engine starts (for five consecutive engine starts). This reminds the operator that service work is due. Always check to make sure that the hour meter is serviceable.

The acoustic signal must be de-activated only in exceptional circumstances. Do this by starting the engine 5 times in succession, then bring engine speed briefly to 1400 rpm and shut the engine off again. Service work must not be postponed unnecessarily.

The lubrication and periodic service intervals are for normal working conditions. These intervals should be shortened when operating under adverse conditions.

IMPORTANT: After servicing, cleaning or repairing your tractor, reinstall any safety guards or shields before operating the tractor again.
