Check fluid level of tractor hydraulic system before starting each days operation. If necessary, add hydraulic oil as recommended in your tractor operators manual.932. Inspect all pivot pins for wear. Make certain cotterpins are installed to retain each pivot pin.933. Check all bolts for tightness.934. Lubricate all grease fittings.935. After every ten hours of operation, check all hardware and tighten where required.936. Inspect hydraulic lines and fittings for wear and leaks. Replace hoses immediately if they are damaged by a cut or scrape, extruded at the fittings or leaking. Hydraulic oil leaks should be repaired promptly to avoid loss of oil and serious person...937. During operation, listen for abnormal sounds which might indicate loose parts or other damage.938. Clean all debris from machine.93Hydraulic Pressure Check931. Obtain a pressure gauge that measures 3000 PSI in 50 PSI increments.932. Install gauge into the hydraulic line connecting the loader valve and to the base port of bucket cylinders.933. Start engine and adjust to 1700-2200 RPM.934. Push bucket control lever to pressurize the hydraulic line with the gauge attached. Hold the control until the cylinders reach the fully extended position. Holding the control with cylinders fully extended will give you the hydraulic system pressu...935. If pressure is not correct, refer to “TROUBLESHOOTING” Section for possible remedy or contact your dealer.93Hydraulic Cylinder94Lift and Bucket Cylinder Disassembly941. Hold cylinder tube (13) stationary and use a spanner wrench to unscrew cylinder head (4).942. Pull shaft (1), with all assembled parts, out of cylinder tube (13).943. Remove elastic locknut (12) from end of shaft and slide cylinder piston (10) and cylinder head (4) off shaft.944. Remove piston wear ring (11), piston seal (8), and o-ring (7) from outside grooves on piston(10).945. Remove wiper seal (2), rod seal (3) and wear ring (5) from inside of cylinder head and o-ring (7) with backup washer (6) from groove on outside of head.946. Clean all parts including cylinder tube, in a suitable cleaning solvent, then use air pressure to blow any dirt or excess solvent from all parts.947. Examine all parts for wear or damage and replace, if necessary.941. Place rod seal (3) into groove inside cylinder head.952. Install wiper seal (2) with lip of seal facing out and flush with top of cylinder head (4). Install wear ring (5) inside other end of head (4).953. Place o-ring (7) with back-up washer (6) in groove on outside of head. Back-up washer must be on rod side.954. Remove sharp edges on outer edge of threaded end of shaft (1). Lubricate wiper seal (2) and rod seal (3) in head and carefully slide head onto shaft.955. Place o-ring (9), piston seal (8) and piston wear ring (11) in grooves on outside of piston (10).956. Slide piston (10) onto threaded end of shaft and install locknut (12). For bucket cylinders, tighten locknut (12) to 150ft. lbs. Tighten locknut to 300 ft. lbs. on lift cylinders. Use thread lock (Locktite®) on threads.957. Lubricate piston wear ring (11) and piston seal (8) on piston, o-ring (7), on head (4) and inside of cylinder tube (13), then carefully slide piston and head into cylinder tube (13).958. Install cylinder head (4) into cylinder tube (13).95Storage961. Store loader with attachment securely attached.962. Place dust caps on hydraulic quick couplers.963. Do not remove attachment from stored loader.974. Do not allow children to play on or around loader.97Proper Torque for Fasteners981480/1485/1495104FRONT END LOADER104RHINO102LIMITED WARRANTY1021.
