wa5010;Engine Air System
Check Intake and Exhaust Systems
Intake air leaks allow dirt entry into the engine which greatly accelerates engine wear.
Check all clamps, bolts and ducting on the engine intake and exhaust systems. Make repairs as required to prevent leaks and to ensure air cleaners and mufflers are securely mounted.Fuel Tank
Drain Water and Sediment
Diesel fuel is volatile and could ignite or explode, causing serious burns and injuries from flying objects. Never smoke or have an open flame while working on the fuel system.
Dispose of drained material according to local regulations. Allow the machine to stand at least fifteen minutes after adding fuel or after operation to let water and sediment settle.1. Remove plug and allow water and sediment to drain.2. Install plug.3. Repeat Steps 1 and 2 on the other fuel tank.Axle Tie Rod and Steer Cylinder
Lubricate
Lubricate four fittings at each side.Propel Axle And Planetaries
Check Oil Levels
1. Remove the check/fill plug (front-left side of axle).2. If lubricant does not flow from the plug port, add lubricant until the check/fill plug level is reached.3. Install the check/fill plug. 4. With the machine on a level surface, line up the oil level line so that it is parallel with the ground.5. Remove the check/fill plug and add lubricant if necessary.6. Repeat Steps 4 and 5 for the other planetary end.Rotor Axle And Planetaries
Check Oil Levels
1. Remove the check/fill plug.2. If lubricant does not flow from the plug port, add lubricant until the check/fill plug level is reached.3. Install the check/fill plug. 4. With the machine on a level surface, remove the check plug from each planetary end.5. Add lubricant (if necessary) and replace the check plugs.Chain Tensioner
Lubricate/Check Chain Tension
Lubricate the adjusting screw by running the locking nut assembly up and down while applying grease to the threads.Check the chain tension by removing the center side plate and use a pry bar to check that there is approximately 25 mm (1 in) of movement at the center of the chain opposite the adjuster. See the topic, Rotor Chaincase, Tighten Chain under "When Required".Rotor Chaincase
Check the Oil Level
1. Start the engine and raise the rotor to the upper limit.2. Remove the check plug from the rotor chaincase.3. If oil does not flow from the plug port, fill the chaincase to the check plug level. The top breather plug is the fill port.4. Clean and install the check plug.5. Repeat Steps 2 through 4 on the other chaincase.Hood Tilt Cylinder
