Connectivity Features:
None.
Engine Oil Change:
Typically every 100-250 operating hours, depending on operating conditions and oil type (consult manual for exact intervals).
Fuel Filter Replacement:
Recommended at regular intervals or when issues arise, often tied to engine oil change intervals.
Hydraulic Fluid Change:
Typically every 500-1000 operating hours, with filter changes more frequently.
Engine Oil:
API CD or CE rated diesel engine oil, SAE 15W-40 or 10W-30 depending on ambient temperature. (Consult manual for precise specifications and capacities).
Hydraulic Transmission Fluid:
IH Hy-Trans fluid or an equivalent universal tractor transmission fluid (UTTF). (Consult manual for exact specifications and capacities).
