SECTION 4 -- LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE

WHEN THE WARNING LAMP LIGHTS

OPERATION 1

SERVICE THE ENGINE AIR

CLEANER OUTER ELEMENT

Service the outer element when the restriction

indicator light on the instrument console illuminates

or every 600 hours, whichever comes first. If the

indicator lights up, perform the service within one

hour of operation.

IMPORTANT: Service the outer element only when

the restriction indicator light illuminates or at the

recommended service intervals. Cleaning the filter

too frequently will decrease the service life of the

filter.

The dry air cleaner, which is located under the rear,

right-hand side of the hood, consists of an inner and

outer paper element within a metal casing. See

Figure 9.

1. Unlatch the three retaining clips (1) Fig. 9, and lift

off the air cleaner assembly cover.

2. Remove the outer element (1) Fig. 10 from the

air cleaner assembly by gently twisting the end

of the filter clockwise to disengage the seal. Then

pull the filter straight out of the housing ,not at an

angle, ensuring the inner element remains in

place.

IMPORTANT: Do not disturb or remove the inner

element.

3. Examine the inside of the outer element. If dust

is present, the outer element is defective and

must be replaced.The inner element should also

be replaced at this time.

4. Clean the outer element using either method A

or B, depending on the element’s condition.

4--11

SECTION 4 -- LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE

Method A

NOTE: An outer element may be dry cleaned

(methods A or B) up to 5 times prior to replacement.

Lightly tap the ends of the element against the palm

of the hand. See Figure 12.

IMPORTANT: Do not tap the element against a hard

surface as this will damage the element.

Method B

Use compressed air, not exceeding 2 bar (30 lbf/in²).

Insert the air line nozzle inside the element. Hold the

nozzle 150 mm (6 in.) from the element and blow the

dust from the inside through the element to the

outside. See Figure 13.

WARNING

Wear eye protection and a face mask when carrying

out this operation.

Before installing a cleaned or replacement filter

check that there is no damage such as cuts ,dents or

punctures. A dent can make a good seal impossible

and a filter with bunched pleats can drain engine

power and increase fuel costs.

Clean the inside and outside of the sealing surface

of the outlet tube before installing the filter.

Apply a thin film of engine or silicone oil to the sealing

surfaces on the inside of the outer element and on

the outside of the inner element.

Locate the outer element into the housing and press

firmly on the outer rim (not the flexible centre) of the

element .

4--12

SECTION 4 -- LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE

OPERATION 2

CHECK BRAKE FLUID LEVEL

If the indicator light on the instrument panel signals

low brake fluid, check the level in the reservoir.

The reservoir is located under the rear of the hood on

the right-hand side and supplies fluid to the rear

brakes and front brakes (where fitted).Visually check

the level of fluid in the reservoir. It should never be

allowed to fall below the ’MIN’ line (3) moulded into

the bottle. If necessary, remove the filler cap (1) and

top up with the correct brake/clutch mineral oil to the

’MAX’ line (2). Do not overfill. Tractors with 12 x 12

transmission have a combined brake/clutch

reservoir. The reservoir on all other models is for the

brakes only.

IMPORTANT: Take care not to spill brake fluid on the

tractor as it may damage the paintwork.

WARNING

Use only the correct type of brake/clutch mineral oil.

Mixing different types of fluid may cause damage to

internal hydraulic braking components and result in

brake failure. Adhere to the instrutions on the brake

fluid container. See page 4--9 for correct brake fluid

specification.

OPERATION 3

DRAIN FUEL SYSTEM WATER

SEPARATOR

IMPORTANT: Before loosening or disconnecting

any part of the fuel injection system, thoroughly clean

the area to be worked on to prevent contamination.

If the indicator light on the instrument panel signals

the presence of water in the fuel sedimenter,

immediately drain the fuel filter and sedimenter

assembly as follows:

1. Remove the sensor wire from the drain plug

2. Open the drain plug on the sedimenter by

loosening the knob.

3. Allow contaminated fuel to drain until only clean

fuel runs out. Catch the fuel in a suitable

container and dispose of properly. Close the

drain plug and replace the sensor wire.

4--13

SECTION 4 -- LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE

EVERY 10 HOURS OR DAILY

(whichever comes first)

OPERATION 4

CHECK ENGINE COOLANT LEVEL

Check the coolant level in the recovery tank when the

engine is cold. The coolant level should be above the

bottom line on the recovery tank. If coolant is

required, remove the pressure cap and add a 50/50

water and antifreeze mixture as specified on page

4--9 of this manual.

WARNING

The cooling system operates under pressure which

is controlled by the radiator pressure cap (1) Figure

17. The radiator pressure cap should not be used for

top up purposes. It is dangerous to remove the radia-

tor pressure or filler caps while the system is hot.

When cool, use a thick cloth and turn the radiator

pressure cap slowly to the first stop and allow any

pressure to escape. Coolant should be kept off the

skin. Adhere to the precautions outlined on the anti-

freeze and inhibitor containers.

CAUTION

Coolant should be kept off the skin . Adhere to the

precautions outlined on the coolant filter and

antifreeze container.

NOTE: If no coolant is visible in the recovery tank,

the coolant level must be checked in the radiator.

Check the system for leaks and repair as required.

Remove the radiator filler cap when the system is

cold. Add coolant as required to bring the level to just

below the top of the filler neck. Install the cap and add

coolant to the recovery tank as descibed above.

4--14

SECTION 4 -- LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE

OPERATION 5

CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL

Check the oil level when the tractor is parked on a

level surface and after the engine has been stopped

for a minimum of five minutes.

1. Remove the dipstick, wipe clean and re-insert

fully.

2. Pull the dipstick out again and check the oil level.

The oil level should fall between the ‘MIN‘ and

‘MAX‘ indicators on the dipstick.

3. If more oil is required remove the dipstick and

add fresh oil until the level is between the ‘MIN‘

and

‘MAX‘ indicators on the dipstick. The

quantity of oil represented between the two

indicators is 3.5 litres (3.7 U.S.qts).

NOTE: Do not fill above the ‘MAX indicator on the

dipstick. Excess oil will burn off, creating smoke and

give a false impression of oil consumption. Do not

operate the engine with the oil level below the MIN

indicator.

4. Re--install the dipstick cap.

See page 4--9 for the correct oil specification and

viscosity.

OPERATION 6

CHECK WINDSCREEN

WASHER RESERVOIR

The reservoir for the windscreen washers is located

beneath the rear of the cab on the left-hand side. The

same reservoir is utilised for both front and rear

windscreen washers.

Lift off the cap (1) and fill with washer solvent solution

up to the bend (2) in the filler neck. In cold weather,

use a solvent with anti-freeze properties.

OPERATION 18

ENGINE OIL AND FILTER

IMPORTANT: Operation 18 depicts the normal 600

hour engine oil and filter change period. However,

the oil change period may be affected by other

factors:

Cold Temperature Operation

Engines operating in temperatures below -- 12 ° C

(10 ° F) or in arduous conditions should have the oil

changed every 300 hours of operation. (The oil filter

need only be changed at the normal 600 hour service

interval).

Tractor Usage

In the event your tractor accumulates less than 600

working hours annually, it is recommended the

engine oil and filter be changed every 12 months.

Diesel Fuel Sulphur Content

In some countries, locally available diesel may have

a high sulphur content, in which case the oil and filter

change period should be adjusted, as follows:

• Sulphur content between 0.5 and 1.0%

-- change engine oil every 300 hours.

• Sulphur content between 1.0 and 1.3%

-- change engine oil every 150 hours.

If in doubt, follow the engine oil and filter change

recomendations on the decal affixed to the underside

of the hood.

WARNING

Be very careful to avoid contact with hot engine oil.

If the engine oil is extremely hot, alllow it to cool to a

moerately warm temperature before proceeding.

contacts the mounting surface, then tighten an

additional³/₄ to 1 full turn. Do not overtighten..

5. Remove Dipstick/Filler cap, Figure 64, and fill

with the correct amount of fresh oil as indicated

below. Ensure the oil is of the correct grade and

viscosity.

6. Start the engine and run for 3 minutes at idle

speed then stop the engine.

7. Check the drain plugs and oil filter areas for

leaks.

8. Wait 5 minutes to allow the oil to drain into the

crankcase, then check the oil level on the

dipstick. The oil level should fall between the

‘MIN’ and ‘MAX’ on the dipstick. Add more oil as

required.

NOTE: Do not fill above the ‘MAX’indicator on the

dipstick. Excess oil will burn off, creating smoke and

give a false impression of oil consumption. Do not

operate the engine with the oil level below the lower

notch.
