Before placing a new tractor in operation do the following:
- carry out the de-preservation procedure of the tractor according to Subsection 7.6
‘Depreservation and Represervation’
- wash the tractor;
- carefully inspect the tractor, check its configuration for completeness and availabil-
ity of instruction manuals;
- remove accumulator batteries, set them into working condition and mount back;
- check outer threaded joints for tightness and tighten if necessary;
- make sure visually, that pipelines, aggregates of lubrication, feeding and cooling
systems are leak-proof;
- check oil level in the engine oil crankcase, in the transmission, in brake housings,
in FDA housing tubes, in housings of FDA wheel gear groups, in HLL and HSC oil tank
and, if necessary, top up as per section 5 “Maintenance”;
- drain the available fuel from the fuel tank and fill the fuel tank with new settled fuel:
in winter with winter grade, in summer with summer grade fuel;
- top up the engine cooling system with coolant to the upper edge of the radiator fill-
er neck, fill the expansion tank with coolant up to the upper edge of the expansion tank
mounting harness;.
- check and if necessary adjust the tire pressure to a desired value in accordance
with subsection 3.2.8 “Selection of optimal inner pressure in tires depending on operational
conditions and load on tractor axles, instructions for use of tires”.
- make sure there are protective guard shields (for shaft end extension of rear PTO

tightening torque for the bolts attaching taper hubs shall make 360 to 450 N·m), tightness
of the nuts attaching rear wheels to the hub (the tightening torque shall make 300 to
350 N·m), the nuts attaching front wheel plates to FDA wheel gear groups flanges (the

MAINTENANCE HAVE BEEN PERFORMED WITHIN THE TIMING SPECIFIED IN SEC-
TION 5 “MAINTENANCE”!
