Maintenance
RECOMMENDATIONS BEFORE YOU SERVICE [4.1.h]
WARNING: Before servicing, carefully read
the instructions in this section. There is a risk
of injury or death if servicing is not carried
out or if the following instructions are not
followed correctly. If you do not understand
a service or adjustment procedure, see your
dealer.
Before any adjustments are made carry out
the following:
1. Park the tractor on hard level ground and
apply the parking brake.
2. Stop the engine and remove the key.
3. Put blocks in front of and behind the front
and rear wheels.
WARNING:Do not carry out inspections, main-
tenance work or adjustments on the tractor
whilst the engine is running, except when
specifically requested. Wait for all moving
parts to come to a complete stop.
- If the maintenance operation must be car-
ried out while the engine is hot (e.g. when
changing engine oil), start the engine and let
it idle for the required time, then turn it off
before the maintenance operation.
- If you need to open the bonnet, follow the
procedure indicated under “How to open
the bonnet”. In this case beware the risk of
burning and shearing.
- Always use specific personal safety devices
for each service operation.
WARNING: When handling lubricants (oil,
grease etc.) and other chemical products,
always follow instructions for their proper
use. Use proper containers to collect fluid.
Dispose of fluids and filters responsibly and
in accordance with the law. DO NOT smoke
or use an open flame during the service pro-
cedure. Use eye protection.
