Valtra N154e service schedule

1. Run the engine to warm the oil, then park on level ground, lower implements and any loader to the ground, apply the parking brake, stop the engine, take the key out and chock the wheels.
2. Let it stand for 10–15 minutes so the oil drains back but is not scalding. Wear gloves; hot oil burns. Keep clear of the exhaust and turbo.
3. Remove the sump drain plug and let the oil drain fully.
4. Remove the oil filter, check the old seal has come off, and wipe the filter head clean.
5. Oil the new filter seal and fit it hand-tight as marked on the filter.
6. Refit the drain plug with a new seal and fill with 15W-40 CR4 to the full mark.
7. Run the engine for a minute, check for leaks, stop it, wait a few minutes and recheck the level.

Tools: Drain tray (20 L), Filter wrench, Spanner or socket for sump plug, Funnel, Rags, Gloves

1. Stop the engine, take the key out and chock the wheels. No smoking or naked flames.
2. Clean around the filters so dirt cannot get in.
3. Drain the prefilter into a container, then remove the old elements, catching the fuel.
4. Fit the new elements with new seals from the kit.
5. Bleed the fuel system as your handbook describes.
6. Start the engine, let it idle and check for leaks.

Tools: Container for fuel, Filter wrench, Rags

1. Stop the engine and take the key out. Never run the engine with the filter out.
2. Open the air cleaner housing and take out the outer element, then the inner (safety) element.
3. Wipe the inside of the housing with a damp cloth. Do not blow dirt down the intake.
4. Fit the new elements and close the housing, checking the seals sit evenly.
5. Check the intake hoses and clips for cracks or looseness.

Tools: Torch, Damp cloth

1. Park on level ground, lower the linkage and any loader fully to the ground, stop the engine, take the key out and chock the wheels.
2. With the engine off, move the spool valve levers back and forth to relieve hydraulic pressure before opening anything.
3. If the tractor has been working, let it cool for at least 30 minutes; hot oil under pressure can burn.
4. Clean around the filter housing, remove the element and catch the oil.
5. Fit the new element with the new seals from the kit.
6. Start the engine, run it briefly, stop it and top up with XT60 to the correct level. Check for leaks.

Tools: Drain tray, Filter wrench or spanners, Rags, Gloves

1. Lower the front linkage and any implement, stop the engine, take the key out and chock the wheels.
2. Let the oil cool if the PTO has been working.
3. Drain the front PTO gearbox, refit the plug and fill to the level plug with the oil your handbook gives.

Tools: Drain tray, Spanners, Squeeze bottle

1. Park on level ground, lower implements, stop the engine, take the key out and chock the wheels.
2. Let hot axle oil cool before opening the plugs.
3. Turn the front wheels so each hub plug is at the drain position shown in your handbook.
4. Drain the differential and both hubs.
5. Refit the drain plugs, then fill the differential and each hub to its level plug.
6. Refit all plugs and wipe the axle clean so you can spot leaks later.

Tools: Drain tray, Spanners or hex keys, Oil pump or squeeze bottle

1. Park on level ground, lower the linkage and loader fully, apply the parking brake, stop the engine, take the key out and chock the wheels.
2. With the engine off, work the spool and linkage levers to relieve hydraulic pressure.
3. Drain the oil while it is warm but not hot: let the tractor stand 30 minutes after work. Wear gloves.
4. Refit the drain plugs with new seals and fit the new filters.
5. Fill with XT60 to the correct level, start the engine, work the linkage, loader and spools through their full travel, lower everything and recheck the level.
6. Check all filters and plugs for leaks.

Tools: Large drain tray (70 L), Spanners, Filter wrench, Pump or funnel, Gloves

1. Only work on a cold engine; leave it several hours after work. Open the expansion tank cap slowly to let any pressure out.
2. Park on level ground, lower implements, take the key out and chock the wheels.
3. Drain the radiator and engine block into a tray. Dispose of old coolant properly; it is poisonous to animals.
4. Refit the drain plugs and fill with the coolant your handbook specifies.
5. Run the engine to working temperature with the cab heater on to bleed air, let it cool and top up.

Tools: Drain tray (20 L), Hose, Coolant tester, Gloves

1. Stop the engine and take the key out.
2. Open the cab filter cover and remove the element.
3. Wear a dust mask. Fit the new filter the right way round, following any arrow on it, and refit the cover so it seals.

Tools: Screwdriver, Dust mask

1. Stop the engine and let the exhaust cool; the SCR parts get very hot.
2. Fill only with clean AdBlue from a sealed container. Never put diesel in the AdBlue tank or AdBlue in the fuel tank.
3. Wipe up spills with water; AdBlue crystallises and corrodes metal.
4. Change the AdBlue filter at the interval in your handbook.

Tools: Clean AdBlue jug or nozzle, Rags
