Inspect battery terminals for corrosion and check the fluid. Fill cells with distilled water until the electrolyte level reaches 6 mm (1/4 in) above the plates as shown on page 139. If the engine still turns over slowly, test the alternator output and verify the charging circuit fuses.
Manual Section: Routine MaintenanceHydraulic functions become weak or erratic with visible fluid leaks at the loader arm joints p. 196
Check all exposed hydraulic lines for chafing or bubbling. Replace any damaged high-pressure hose per the hose specifications on page 196, verifying burst pressure requirements for the applicable hose type and bore. Verify the hydraulic fluid level is correct before resuming work.
Manual Section: Routine MaintenanceMachine shakes heavily at road transport speeds or tyre pressure drops rapidly during daily operation p. 174
Verify tyre pressures daily before traveling on public roads. Set your inflation air supply pressure regulator no higher than 1.38 bar (20 psi) above the recommended tyre pressure per page 173. Torque all front and rear wheel nuts to exactly 680 Nm as detailed on page 174.
Manual Section: Routine MaintenanceEngine runs hot or loses power after extended operating hours in extremely dusty site conditions p. 157
Clean the outer engine debris screens and inspect the intake system. Replace the air filter outer element if it has reached the 1000 hours replacement interval specified on page 157. Drain the engine oil and retorque the drain plug to 40-60 Nm (30-44 lbf ft) per page 153.
