Inspection and Maintenance
(1) Never allow persons listed below to inspect and
maintain the machine.
If any work carried out by unauthorized persons as
below would affect the warranty on the machinery.
• Persons with mental disease
• Persons who cannot inspect and maintain the
machine properly because of fatigue, illness, or
drowsiness from medication, etc.
• Young persons or children too young
(2) Whe n serv icin g the trac tor or moun ting o r
dismounting an implement, place the tractor on
level, hard ground which is sufficiently illuminated,
or unexpected accidents may occur.
(3) When servicing the tractor, follow the instructions
listed below:
• Stop the engine.
• Apply parking brakes.
• Disengage all PTO.
• Place all gear shift levers in neutral.
• Remove the starter key.
• Lower the implement fully, if equipped.
If not, your hands or clothes may be caught or
sandwiched between.
(4) When servicing the tractor, use proper tools.
Using makeshift tools may lead to injuries or poor
servicing, which may result in unexpected accidents
during operation.
(5) The engine, muffler, radiator, etc. are very hot
just after operation, so wait until they cool down
sufficiently to avoid burns.
(6) Never remove the radiator cap while the engine is
hot or running. Wait until the engine cools down and
then relieve the radiator pressure by releasing the
radiator cap. Carelessly pouring cooling water into
the heated radiator can cause serious damage to
the radiator and the engine. Careless removal of
the radiator cap can cause serious injury because
of overheated water vapor.
(7) Never fit unauthorized implements or attempt
unauthorized modification.
(8) Be sure to reinstall the removed safety covers in
place as exposed dangerous parts may cause
serious injury.
(9) Avoid high-pressure fluids. Escaping fluid under
pressure can penetrate the skin and cause serious
injury, so keep hands and body away from pin holes
and nozzles ejecting such fluids. Be sure to consult
your dealer about the hydraulic and fuel injection
system trouble.
When checking for leaks, use a piece of cardboard
or wood without fail. If any hydraulic fluid is injected
accidentally into the skin, it must be removed within
a few hours by a doctor familiar with this type of
injury.
