Servicing the Tractor
–
DO NOT service the tractor
while the engine is running
or hot, or if the tractor is in
motion.
–
Before making adjustments
to, or servicing the electrical
system, disconnect the bat-
tery negative (-) cable first.
–
To prevent fires or explo-
sions keep open flame
away from the battery or
cold weather starting aids.
To prevent sparks which
could cause explosions use
jump cables according to in-
structions.
–
When making repairs or adjustments it is recommended that you con-
sult your Dealer, and have the work carried out by trained personnel.
–
The implement and/or tractor must be supported on suitable wooden
blocks or stands, NOT a hydraulic jack.
–
Check all nuts and bolts periodically for tightness, especially wheel
hub and rim nuts. Tighten to the prescribed torque values.
–
Check the brakes regularly, top up the reservoir and/or adjust where
necessary. Make sure that the brakes are evenly adjusted, especially
when using a trailer.
Starting
Warn Personnel before Starting
Before starting, walk completely around the tractor and any attached
equipment. Make sure that no one is under it, on it, or close to it. Let other
workers and bystanders know you are starting up and don’t start until
everyone is clear of the tractor, implements and towed equipment.
Ensure that all bystanders, particularly children, are a suitable distance
away before starting the engine.
