disconnecting, adjusting, cleaning, or servicing any
PT
O driven equipment.
• Keep the PTO shaft cover in place at all times. Put
back the PTO shaft cap when the shaft is not in
use.

• Before
installing or using PTO driven equipment,
read the manufacturer's manual and review the
safety labels attached to the equipment.
• When operating stationary PTO driven equipment,
always apply the tractor parking brake and place
chocks behind and in front of the rear wheels. Stay
clear of all rotating parts. Never step over rotating
parts.
USING 3-POINT HITCH
• Use
the 3-point hitch only with equipment designed
for the appropriate category of 3-point hitch usage.
• When using a 3-point hitch mounted implement, be
sure to install the proper counterbalance weight on
the front of the tractor.
• When transporting on the road, set the 3-point hitch
lowering speed knob in the “LOCK” position to hold
the implement in the raised position.

SERVICING THE TRACTOR
Before servicing the tractor, park it on a firm, flat and
level
surface, set the parking brake, lower all
implements to the ground, place the gear shift lever in
neutral, stop the engine and remove the key.
• Allow the tractor time to cool off before working on
or near the engine, muffler, radiator and so on.
• Do not remove radiator cap while the coolant is hot.
When cool, slowly rotate cap to the first stop and
allow sufficient time for excess pressure to escape
before removing the cap completely. If the tractor
has a coolant recovery tank, add coolant or water to
the recovery tank, not the radiator.
(See Checking coolant level on page 113.)
• Always stop the engine before refueling. Avoid
spills and overfilling.
• Do not smoke when working around the battery or
when refueling. Keep all sparks and flames away
from battery and fuel tank. The battery presents an
explosive hazard because it gives off hydrogen and
oxygen especially when recharging.
• Before “jump-starting” a dead battery, read and
follow all of the instructions.
(See JUMP STARTING on page 55.)
• Keep first aid kit and fire extinguisher handy at all
times.
• Disconnect the battery's ground cable before
working on or near electric components.
• To avoid the possibility of battery explosion, do not
use or charge the refillable type battery if the fluid
level is below the [LOWER] (lower limit level) mark.
Check the fluid level regularly and add distilled
water as required so that the fluid level is between
the [UPPER] and [LOWER] levels.
• To avoid sparks from an accidental short circuit,
always disconnect the battery's ground cable (-)
first and reconnect it last.

• Do
not attempt to mount a tire on a rim. This should
be done by a qualified person with the proper
equipment.
