18. Fill the cooling system with a 50/50 blend of low silicate antifreeze and clean soft water. Add coolant slowly through the radiator filler neck until the coolant is to the bottom of the filler neck. NOTE: To avoid trapping air in the system, fill the radiator as slowly as practicable thereby allowing any air pockets to disperse. 3-59 SECTION 3 -LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE EVERY 2400 HOURS OR 24 MONTHS (WHICHEVER OCCURS FIRST) 19. Fill the coolant recovery tank, 1, to the lowest mark, 2. 20. Start the engine and run it until normal operating temperature is reached. NOTE: The coolant level will drop as coolant is pumped around the system. 21. Stop the engine and allow the coolant to cool. 22. Remove the radiator cap and add coolant to the radiator to bring the coolant level to the bottom of the filler neck. Install the radiator cap. 23. Add coolant to the recovery tank as required to bring the level to the cold mark. NOTE: If the engine is not going to be operated immediately following the coolant and filter change, run the engine for one hour to ensure that the chemical conditioner within the filter is dispersed into the cooling system. Antifreeze Specification: See Specifications Clean Water Specification (Maximum): Total Hardness 300 parts per million Chlorides 100 parts per million Sulfates 100 parts per million Coolant Capacity: 26.4 liters (7 U.S. gallons) 3-60 SECTION 3 -LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE AS REQUIRED OPERATIONS OPERATION 62 ADJUST THE PARK BRAKE The park brake should be fully applied when the park brake handle is raised to the third or fourth notch (click) on the quadrant. IMPORTANT: Adjust the park brake when the park brake handle must be raised above the fourth notch on the quadrant to fully apply the park brake. Adjust the park brake with the tractor parked on level ground, the engine off, and the wheels blocked front and rear. To adjust the park brake: 1. Position the park brake handle, 1, in the fully lowered, 0, position. 2. Raise the park brake handle to the second notch on the quadrant. 3. Loosen the forward jam nut, 1, as far as possible on the cable housing, 2. 4. Pull the cable housing, 2, rearward until a 20-pound (9 kg) resistance is felt. Hold in position. 5. Tighten the rear jam nut, 3, until it contacts the bracket, 4. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. 6. Tighten both jam nuts, 1 and 3, against the bracket, 4. 7. Raise the park brake handle and check for proper adjustment. 3-61 SECTION 3 -LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE AS REQUIRED OPERATIONS OPERATION 63 CHECK WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID LEVEL To add fluid to the windshield washer reservoir: 1. Remove the filler cap, 1. 2. Add washer solvent until the reservoir, 2, is full. 3. Replace the filler cap. IMPORTANT: In cold weather use a washer solvent with anti-freeze properties. 106 OPERATION 64 ADJUST THE HOOD GAS SPRINGS The gas springs, 1, are installed at the factory in the rear mount hole, 2. The gas springs can be installed in the front mount hole to provide additional lift assist. To reposition the gas spring: 1. Open the hood to the fully raised position. CAUTION Fully support the hood before removing either gas spring. 107 2. Support the hood with a sling or prop rod to prevent the hood from closing when a gas spring is removed. NOTE: Change the location of one gas spring then change the position of the other gas spring. 3. Unscrew the pivot ball, 3, from the mount hole. 4. Position the pivot ball in the desired mount hole and tighten to 54 N·m (40 ft.-lbs.). 5. Repeat for the other gas spring. 6. Remove the support sling or prop rod. 7. Check the operation of the gas springs. 1234 3-62 SECTION 3 -LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE AS REQUIRED OPERATIONS OPERATION 65 3-POINT HITCH CALIBRATION CHECKS Three-point hitch calibration is necessary if: 1. Full travel from 0-99 on the TPM does not occur with the height limit turned fully clockwise. 2. Cylinder rods are not fully retracted when the TPM indicates “0”. 3. The 3-point looses capture when the quadrant lever is moved rapidly during tractor operation 4. Any 3-point hitch components are changed or disconnected. When any of these conditions occur, the 3-point hitch requires calibration. EDC Calibration -Pre-Steps 1. Place mix knob, 1, fully counterclockwise (position mode). 2. Turn the height limit knob, 2, fully clockwise. A flashing HL on 3-point hitch display during the calibration pre-steps indicates the height limit knob is not turned fully clockwise. 21 3-63 SECTION 3 -LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE 3. Put RAISE/WORK switch, 1, in work position, 3. (2 = Raise position, 3 = Work position, 4 = lower position) 4. Start the tractor with the parking brake applied. 5. Move the quadrant lever fully forward. 6. Check lift cylinders for exposed chrome. If chrome is visible, use fender switches to lower 3-point until cylinders are fully retracted. NOTE: The RAISE/WORK switch must be cycled to the raise position then work position before the quadrant lever will capture the hitch and allow you to procee...
