checking the level.
500 HOUR MAIN SERVICE
For the engine, it is necessary to use a detergent oil Supplement 3 as indicated in the Lubricants and Fuels Chart. Deter-
gent oils contain additives that reduce corrosion, oil oxidation and deposits and have a high dispersion power of carbon
matters produced by combustion.
WARNING: The following operations must be carried out with the engine off. Check that the gear and the parking
brake are both engaged and that the ignition key has been removed.
Personal safety devices must be worn for the indicated operations.
Beware of burns caused by hot oil and engine parts.
If required, let the engine idle for the prescribed time to reach the required temperature to let the oil flow easily. Then
turn off the engine.
If you need to open the bonnet, follow the procedure indicated under “How to open the bonnet”.
Change engine oil and filter
During the running in period, the engine oil and oil filter
must be changed after the first 50 hours. Following this,
change the oil after every 500 hours service (500, 1000,
1500 hours, etc...)
NOTE: 500 hours is the maximum tolerated frequency for
oil changes. The oil must be changed more frequently
(e.g. every 250 hours) if the tractor is used in heavy duty
conditions.
To change the engine oil, put the tractor on level ground
and stop the engine.
NOTE: For best results change the oil when the engine
is warm.
WARNING: Avoid contact with hot oil. Do not
change a hot filter due to risk of burning
skin on hands, Wait for the temperature to
fall under 50 °C.
Put a container of suitable size (see Lubricants and Fuels
chart for engine capacity) under the drain plug (1).
Remove the drain plug and drain the oil. Take care of hot
oil when draining.
IMPORTANT: Dispose of oil and filters in accordance with
local regulations. DO NOT drain the oil on the ground, into
a drain or put in a container that can leak. Be responsible
for the environment.
