CHANGING LUBRICATING OIL
FOR NEW TRACTORS
tractor, it is very important to properly
break-in your tractor.
In handling a new tractor, the follow-
ing precautions should be observed.
You should not operate your tractor
at full speed for the rst fty hours
of use.
Avoid sudden starts and stops.
In cold climates, allow your tractor
plenty of time to warm up.
Do not run the engine at speeds
faster than necessary.
Use due caution when operating
your tractor on rough roads or ter-
rain.
The above precautions are not lim-
ited to new tractors only, but are a
good practice for tractors regardless
of their age.
Special attention should be given
to new tractors lubrication oil. New
parts are not accustomed to each
other and are not broken in properly.
Small metal grit can develop in the
lubricating system as metal parts be-
gin to "break in" and continuous use
of the contaminated oil can cause
damage and failure.
Therefore you should change the
tractor's oil after the break-in period.
For further details of the oil change
and service schedule, see "mainte-
nance" section.

when operation your tractor
inside a building or enclosed
area. Remember that exhaust
fumes can be deadly.
Never start your tractors en-
gine while standing on the
ground. This can prevent un-
expected accident from hap-
pening.
