Cleaning

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

1. Lower the loader arms, stop the engine, and remove
the key.
2. Remove dirt and grime from the entire traction unit.
Important: You can wash the traction unit with
mild detergent and water. Do not pressure wash
the traction unit. Avoid excessive use of water,
especially near the control panel, engine, hydraulic
pumps, and motors.
3. Service the air cleaner; refer to
Servicing the Air Cleaner (page 29).
4. Grease the traction unit; refer to
Greasing the Traction Unit (page 29).

replace any part that is damaged.
