- 3. Hold adjusting screw and tighten locknut.
- 4. Recheck adjustment.
- 5. Remove timing bolt from flywheel and flywheel housing.
- 6. Install plug in flywheel housing.
- 7. Inspect valve cover and replace if damaged.

(48)Hydraulic System
![]() |
Hot oil or components can cause personal injury if the contact skin. Use caution when draining oil or changing filters. |
![]() |
- 1. Oil warm, machine level, blade lowered with slight down pressure, engine stopped and brake lock applied. Move controls to help relieve system pressure.
- 2. Stop engine. Remove fill cap and drain plug. Allow oil to drain.
- 3. Clean and install drain plug.
- 4. Install new filter elements
- 5. Remove tank filler screen.
- 6. Wash screen in clean non-flammable solvent and install.
- 7. Add oil to tank until it is visible in sight gauge. See REFILL CAPACITIES.
- 8. Inspect tank filler cap gasket. Use new gasket if necessary. Install tank filler cap.
- 9. Make sure hydraulic controls are in HOLD.
- 10. Start engine and allow oil to circulate.
- 11. Operate tractor a few minutes and observe oil level again. Add oil if necessary.
(49)Cooling System-Changing Antifreeze Solution
![]() |
Always inspect cooling system with engine stopped. Remove filler cap slowly to relieve pressure. Steam can cause personal injury. Inhibitor contains alkali, avoid contact with skin and eyes to prevent personal injury. |
![]() |
NOTICE |
---|
If machine is to be stored in, or shipped to, an area with below freezing temperatures; the cooling system must either be protected to the lowest expected ambient temperature, or drained completely. |
When permanent antifreeze and water solutions are used in the cooling system, the solution should be drained and replaced EVERY 2000 SERVICE HOURS OR 1 YEAR.
However, when additions of inhibitor are made to the cooling system EVERY 500 SERVICE HOURS OR 3 MONTHS, it is not necessary to drain and refill yearly. The antifreeze change period can be extended to 4000 service hours or 2 years.
NOTICE |
---|
Do not use AVSpare Cooling System Inhibitor with Dowtherm 209 coolant. |
NOTE: Add 1 pint (.5 litre) AVSpare Cooling System Inhibitor, or equivalent, per 4 U.S. gallons (15 litres) of coolant to give a 3% concentration of inhibitor to the cooling system.
- 1. Park machine on level ground. Stop engine and allow to cool.
- 2. Loosen filler cap slowly to relieve pressure. Remove filler cap.
- 3. Open radiator drain valve and allow coolant to drain.
- 4. Remove coolant drain plug from engine block. Allow coolant to drain.
- 5. Install all drain plugs and close radiator drain valve.
- 6. Add 2 pints (1 litre) of AVSpare Cooling System Inhibitor or equivalent.
- 7. Add antifreeze solution to provide protection to the lowest expected ambient temperature.
- 8. To help avoid air locks, add coolant slowly at 5 U.S. gallons (19 litres) per minute or less. Fill to within 1/2 inch (1 cm) of bottom of fill pipe.
- 9. Start and run engine with filler cap removed. Allow coolant to warm and level to stabilize. Add coolant if necessary. Stop engine.
- 10. Inspect filler cap gasket. Replace if damaged. Install filler cap.
