6 Daily maintenance
The driver's responsibility
Daily maintenance requires the driver to take a few minutes each day to check a number of
important items to ensure proper operation of the tractor. These few minutes are intended
both for the driver's safety and for safety of fellow road users. It is also a way of checking that
all the operating systems are in good condition before starting the day's work. If topping up a
system is necessary, use only the approved liquids.
CAUTION
The maintenance in this manual is for a daily operation only. For a more comprehensive service refer
to the Terberg maintenance manual.
When working on heights, the necessary access equipment must be provided to ensure that the
maintenance tasks can be carried out safely.

6.2 Engine / Transmission oil level
Withdraw the dipstick from its holder and wipe it with a clean, lint-free cloth. Replace the
dipstick in the holder, wait a moment, withdraw the dipstick again and check the oil level.
This should be between the marks on the dipstick. If necessary, top up with oil through the
filler hole. Always top up with the same brand and type of oil already present in the engine or
transmission.
Refer to the transmission section of the operation manual for a detailed procedure for
checking the transmission oil level. For more detailed information, check the Terberg
