Removing Debris from the
Traction Unit
Service Interval: Before each use or daily
Important: Operating the engine with blocked
screens and/or cooling shrouds removed, will result
in engine damage from overheating.
1. Park the traction unit on a level surface, lower the
loader arms, and stop the engine.
2. Remove the key and allow the engine to cool.
3. Open the hood.
4. Clean any debris from the front and side screens.
5. Wipe away debris from the air cleaner.
6. Clean any debris build-up on the engine and in the
oil cooler fins with a brush or blower.
Important: It is preferable to blow dirt out,
rather than washing it out. If water is used,
keep it away from electrical items and hydraulic
valves. Do not use a high-pressure washer.
High-pressure washing can damage the
electrical system and hydraulic valves or deplete
grease.
7. Clean debris from the hood opening, muffler, and
heat shields.
8. Close the hood.

Cleaning the Chassis

Service Interval: Every 100 hours—Check for dirt
build-up in the chassis.
Over time, the chassis under the engine collects dirt
and debris that must be removed. Using a flashlight,
open the hood and inspect the area under the engine on
a regular basis. When the debris is 1 to 2 inches deep,
have an Authorized Service Dealer remove the rear of
the traction unit, fuel tank, and battery and flush the
chassis clean.

Storage

the key.

wash the traction unit. Avoid excessive use of
water, especially near the control panel, engine,
hydraulic pumps, and motors.
