Final Inspection and Adjustments

  1. IMPORTANT: Hardware torque MUST be checked after the first 10 hours and every 50 hours thereafter.

    Check mounting frame hardware. (See FIRST 10 HOURS in Lubrication and Maintenance section.)

  2. Lubricate all grease fittings. (See Lubrication and Maintenance section.)

  3. IMPORTANT: 5X03 Series Tractors: Exhaust pipe might contact loader hydraulic hoses. Muffler assembly may have to be repositioned to prevent damage to tractor or loader.

    Start tractor engine and check loader operation.

  4. IMPORTANT: Perform operation check at least three times to help remove air from hydraulic lines.

    Cycle all cylinders at least three times as follows:

    1. Extend lift cylinders and lift bucket from ground.

    2. Retract bucket cylinders (roll back) and lower to the ground.

    5X03 Series Tractors: Check for clearance between exhaust pipe and loader hydraulic hoses when raising and lowering loader. If hydraulic hoses contact exhaust pipe, perform the following:

    1. Lower loader to the ground, shut off tractor engine and remove key.

    2. Wait until muffler and engine cools down.

    3. Loosen hardware (A—D).

    4. Push muffler toward turbocharger and tighten clamp (A).

    5. Tighten hardware (B) to specification.

    6. Tighten hardware (C) to specification.

    7. Tighten cap screw (D).



  6. Repeat steps 3—5 as necessary.

  7. Retract bucket cylinders completely and lower loader to ground.

  8. Shut off tractor engine and remove key.

  9. Check tractor transmission/hydraulic oil level. (Refer to tractor Operator's Manual.)
