PRE-OPERATION CHECK
It is a good practice to know the con-
dition of your tractor before you start
it. You should do a routine check be-
fore each use.
CAUTION
Park the tractor on the level
ground, stop the engine, and
apply the parking brake before
checking or repairing it.
Refer to "DAILY CHECKING
ITEMS" in the section 7 "MAIN-
TENANCE" for pre-operation
check.
Be sure to read and under-
stand the information titled as
"DANGER", "WARNING", and
"CAUTIO N" thoroughly for
safe operation.
For detailed information, refer to
"Maintenance schedule chart" in
chapter 7.
