MAINTENANCE
Tap closed
For any kind of intervention on a raised loader, apart from hydraulic system, ALWAYS switch
the stop valve on the lifting devise supply line into a closed position.
Do not use the stopping valve for intervention on the hydraulic system.
In this case the loader should rest on the ground.
Switch the engine off; lower the oil pressure before conducting any work on the hydraulic system.
High pressure oil can cause serious damages.

SAFETY
TRACTOR MAINTENANCE
Detaching the loader is a simple
and quick operation, for the
maintenance of the tractor; we
would advise detaching the
loader for reasons of safety
and efficiency.
Check regularly the hydraulic
oil level and that the circuit is
leak-proof.
Regularly drain the oil in the
hydraulic circuit of the tractor,
and change the filters as
prescribed by the manufacturer.
Used oil deteriorates the hydraulic units and may cause serious
damage on the tractor and on the loader.
LOADER MAINTENANCE
Control the flexes and the hydraulic links; make sure that the
flexes do not rub on other components, change if damaged or
if leaking.
Lubricate all the grease nipples on the bearing every 10 hours of
usage and after each wash.
When detaching the loader and its implement, protect the
couplings by fitting the dust caps.
Prolonged use of the loader leads to a normal wear of the
bearings – it is recommended to change the wear bushes before
there is too much play which may cause a deterioration of the
pins and the wear bushes.
Prolonged stocking. Apply a thin layer of grease on the visible
part of the cylinder’s rod.
The fitting and the repairs of the cylinder should be done by a
specialised dealer who will only be using the parts recommended
by the manufacturer.
