Valtra BH140, BH160 & BH180
Tractor Pump Circuit (BT)
 INTRODUCTION
The TATU front loader model PCA has been carefully designed to give maximum
service with minimum down time. The PCA models are designed for two wheel drive
(2WD) and four wheel drive (4WD) tractors.
The PCA come equipped with parking stands to support the loader so the tractor
can be “driven in” for attachment and a bucket level indicator that allows operator to
gauge bucket position when the bucket cannot be seen.
Available attachments include: front blade for earth moving; buckets for lifting
loose materials; a bale spear for lifting round hay bales; fork lift for material stored on
pallets; raker refuse and a sling bulk sack lift to fill fertilizers or seeds in agricultural
implements. All operations should be conducted within the loader limits.
The main advantage of TATU front loader is the simplicity and easy handling to
attach and to dettach from the tractor, allowing it available for other operations.

Caution: SOME PICTURES MAY SHOW SHIELDS REMOVED FOR PURPOSES OF CLARITY.

23
 MAINTENANCE
LUBRICATION

The simplest way to increase the working-life of equipment and reduce downtime
is to make a correct lubricatiion of equipment. The objective is to reduce the wearing
caused by attrition among moving parts of the machine.
The fittings should be lubricated every 10 hours of use, lubricate all the articulations
through the grease fittings as shown in the pictures below in the following manner:
- Be sure about the lubricant quality, with relation to its efficiency and purity, avoiding
the use of products contaminated by water, earth etc.
- Remove the crown of the old grease around the articulations.
- Clean the grease points with a rag beforehand and do not over grease.
- Introduce an enough amount of new grease.

Grease Points
