DAILY CHECK
For your own safety and maximum
service life of the machine, make a
thorough daily inspection before start-
ing and operating the machine.
WALK AROUND INSPECTION
Look around and under the tractor
for such items as loose bolts, trash
build-up, oil or coolant leaks, broken
or worn parts.
1. Park the machine on a flat sur
-
face.
2. Check engine oil before starting the
engine or 5 minutes or more after
the engine has stopped.
3. To check the oil level, draw out the
dipstick, wipe it clean, replace it,
and draw it out again. Check to see
that the oil level lies between the
two notches. If the level is too low,
add new oil to the prescribed level
at the oil inlet.
