5.6 How to prevent pollution
To prevent pollution when oil, filters and so forth are changed, always clean the zone around fill, level
and drain plugs, dipsticks and filters. Before connecting the auxiliary cylinders, make sure that the oil
they contain is clean, that it has not deteriorated owing to long storage and that it is of the prescribed
type.
5.7 Serving intervals
The intervals suggested in the lubrication and maintenance table are indications to use when the tractor
is used in normal conditions. These intervals should be adapted to the real environmental and
operational conditions. Serving must be more frequent in adverse work conditions (in the presence of
humidity, mud, sand, very dusty environments).
CAUTION: If carried out at the prescribed intervals, the operations described in this section
will ensure that the tractor operates in a regular way. However, remember to carry out the
inspections and adjustments (of variable frequency depending on the environmental
conditions and type of work carried out) according to your discretion and experience.
