18. Precautions for Servicing
3-4
Check before and after working
If the machine is to be used in mud, rain, snow, or on a beach, check for loose plugs and cocks before
working. After working, clean the machine and check each part for cracks and damage and check for
loose or missing bolts and nuts. Apply grease earlier than usual. Particularly apply grease every day to
the pins on the implement which are submerged in mud.
Observe the precautions for working in a dusty place
If you use the machine in a dusty place, be careful of the following:
• Check the air cleaner for clogging.
Clean the air cleaner element earlier than scheduled.
• Clean the radiator fin earlier to prevent it from clogging.
• Clean or replace the fuel filter element earlier than scheduled.
• Clean the electric equipment, especially the starter motor and the generator, to avoid dust deposits.
Do not mix oils
Never mix oils of different makes or types. If you have to replenish an oil with a different make or type
than the one already in the tank, remove the remaining oil completely.
