G1. Service
Correct maintenance at the right time is a basic condition
for reliable operation of the tractor. Maintenance costs are
small compared with any repair costs resulting from lack
of maintenance. The most important measures are those
which you carry out yourself and which include lubrication
and various checks and adjustments.
The service intervals shown apply for normal operating
conditions but in more severe conditions servicing should
be carried out more frequently.
G1.1. General instructions concer-
ning oil checks and oil filling
--- Always stop the engine before doing any servicing
work.
--- Apply the parking brake to ensure the tractor cannot
move. If the ground is uneven the wheels should be
blocked.
--- Always observe the utmost cleanliness in all maintenan-
ce work.
IMPORTANT: Do not let the water get to the electrical
equipment when washing the machine. Do not wash the
inside of the cab with a pressure washer.
---Thoroughlywipeofffillercapsandplugsaswellassur-
rounding parts of the tractor before filling up with fuel or
oil.
--- Inspect the oil and filters when changing. Large amo-
unts of dirt (e.g. heavily clogged filters) can point to a
fault which could cause extensive and costly repairs if
not corrected in time.
--- When carrying out checks the tractor should stand on
level ground.
--- Levels should be checked before driving when the oil is
cold and has had time to run down to the bottom of the
unit concerned.
--- When changing the oil, bear in mind that the oil can be
very hot when it drains from the tractor.
--- Avoid touching the exhaust manifold, turbocharger and
other hot parts of the engine.
--- Keep the engine surfaces clean in order to avoid the risk
of fire.
--- The fuel, lubricating oil and coolant cause irritation to
skin if in contact for long periods.
--- After completion of any service work replace all safety
covers etc.
--- Waste oil, liquid waste, oil filters and batteries should be
handled carefully and disposed of properly.
G1.2. Lubrication of points provi-
ded with grease nipples
--- Always clean the grease nipples before applying the
grease gun.
--- Pump in grease to the nipples until clean grease is
squeezed out (unless otherwise instructed).
--- Wipe off all surplus grease which has been squeezed
out at the lubricating points.
--- Preferably carry out lubrication with bearing points and
joints unloaded and with the bearings in different positi-
ons ( e.g. lubricate the steering knuckle bearing on the
steering axle with the wheels at both full left and right
lock and with the front axle lifted up).
G1.3. Lubrication and maintenance
schedule
NOTE: All intervals are counted from zero hours on the
hour recorder. For example, the 500 hours service is
carried out after 500, 1000 hours etc. even if the measures
have been carried out at the guarantee service (=100
hours service).
Example: The 1000 hour service contains all items
mentioned under the 10 h/daily and the 50 hrweekly
checks as well as the 500 h service.
G1.4. Service inspection (at 100 ho-
urs)
Your dealer gives this cost---free service inspection
(excluding oil and filter costs) after 100 hours running to
all new Valtra tractors.
The following steps should be taken:
20 Engine
--- Change engine oil and filter
--- Change prefilter of fuel system
--- Change fuel filter
40 Power transmission
--- C h a n g e f i l te r
60 Steering system and front axle
--- Change oil in differential
--- Change oil in planetary gears
90 Hydraulic system
--- Change pressure filter and clean hydraulic pump sucti-
on strainer
General
--- Lubricate according to chart
--- Road test tractor. During the road test check all the
functions of all the controls and instruments. After the
road test, check for oil leaks, check the coolant and fuel
system.
