 TRACK LOADER INSTRUCTIONS UPON DELIVERY
Upon delivery, check for freight damage and any missing items. If there is damage, notify the carrier
and Barreto Manufacturing immediately and make sure to document there was damage on the
delivery receipt. Please take pictures of any damage immediately if possible before unpacking crate.
Remove machine from shipping crate.

When documentation refers to “right side” or “left side”, it is relative to the operator’s position with
both hands on the controls.

SERVICE INFORMATION
HYDRAULIC SYSTEM:
• Your Track Loader should arrive with approximately 11 U.S. gallons (41 liters) of tractor
transmission / hydraulic fluid in the tank. Shipping regulations may prohibit shipping with the
hydraulic fluid. Check the reservoir level using the sight gauge located at the back of the
machine above the standing platform. If required, add tractor transmission / hydraulic fluid to the
reservoir. For machine use in ambient temperatures between +32°F (0°C) and +90°F (32°C)
hydraulic fluid ISO 68 is recommended. If the machine is operated at temperatures below +32°F
(0°C) then hydraulic fluid ISO 46 is recommended.
• Recheck oil level after Track Loader has been run and oil has circulated through the components.
Routinely check level thereafter.
• Change hydraulic fluid filters after the first 50 hours of use. Change it every 200 hours thereafter.
• There are two hydraulic filters, one by the operator platform and one at the front of the unit by the
hydrostats. See page 11 for details.
• Add approximately one quart (1 liter) of hydraulic fluid to reservoir with each filter changed.
• Discard the old filter according to environmental standards in your geographic area.
• Check all hydraulic fittings for leaks and tighten if necessary.

WARNING - Running the Track Loader without hydraulic fluid will cause serious damage to the
hydraulic pump. INSURE THAT THE RESERVOIR FLUID LEVEL IS VISIBLE IN THE SIGHT
GAUGE BEFORE STARTING THE MACHINE.

IMPORTANT - The engine on the Barreto Track Loader may or may not have been serviced prior to
shipping. Shipping regulations may prohibit shipping with fuel or oil in the engine. Check levels and
add oil and fuel as required before starting engine. Service the engine according to the engine
owner’s manual before starting.

 TIP-OVER PROTECTION
In the event of a Tip-Over situation, the machine’s incline sensor will shut off the fuel pump and kill
the engine. The operator will see the following images on the screen. The operator will need to call
the rental center the machine came from and get Tip-Over code from the owner.

The Tip-Over code is 1984

DIAGNOSTICS
To access the system diagnostics and settings pages, go to the home screen, then press the third
button from the left- below the diamond/exclamation point symbol for System Information. This will
bring up the lockout code page seen above. The code is again, 1984. When the code is entered, the
first diagnostic page will appear.

From this page, the owner can see if an input command from the controls joystick is being sent by the
controller and feedback is being sent back by the hydrostat coil or sensor. This will help diagnose a
problem with either the input device or the device being controlled. A device with no issues should
send a feedback signal of 0800-0950mA.

825TKL OWNER’S MANUAL 2/10/20 Page 8 of 23

Pressing the System Information button again will take the owner to the second screen. From this
screen, the owner can check the tool solenoid switches and see feedback from the solenoids. If a
switch is pushed forward or back, the light next to the text will turn green and feedback should be
seen from the tool solenoid.

The owner can also change the direction of the auxiliary tool switches by pressing the “LF Flip” or
“HF Flip”. Depending on the how the attachment manufacturer designed the hydraulic system, the
direction of the joystick switches may be more intuitive to the operator if switch direction is flipped.

Any changes made from the diagnostics pages are saved by turning the key off and on again. After
turning the key off and on again, the code must be entered at the lockout screen to access the
diagnostics and options again.

825TKL OWNER’S MANUAL 2/10/20 Page 13 of 23

 TRACK TENSION ADJUSTMENT
Track must be tensioned enough to prevent de-tracking. Too much tension will cause increased wear
on roller, sprockets and drive motor bearings. There are two methods of measuring correct tension:
Measure the compression of the springs, or measure track sag.

To measure spring compression:

Loosen tension adjuster nut and lock nut completely. Then tighten adjuster nut to compress tension
spring pair to a length of 7-7/8” on the outside of the spring collars. Tighten lock nut.

To measure track sag:

Lift the machine and raise the track off the ground. Measure the distance between either one of the
central rollers and track metal core bars and adjust track tension to get 1/2” (13mm) track sag.

To remove/replace track:

1. Completely loosen tensioner nuts, swing tension roller back.

2. Remove axle from rear idler, remove three bolts holding rear idler side plate, remove rear idler.
3. Remove/replace track and rear idler.
4. Reverse procedure to replace track.
Adjust track tension per instructions and illustration.
