BREAK-IN PROCEDURES
Your SHIBAURA Tractor will provide long and
dependable service if given proper care during the
50 hour break-in period. During the first 50 hours
of operation :
1. Avoid “lugging” the engine. Operating in too
high a gear under heavy load may cause engine
“lugging”, which is indicated when the engine
will not respond to a throttle increase.
2. Use the lower gear ratios when pulling heavy
loads and avoid continuous operation at con-
stant engine speeds. You will save fuel and
minimize engine wear by selecting the correct
gear ratio for a particular operation. Operating
the tractor in low gear with a light load and high
engine speed will waste fuel.
3. Avoid prolonged operation at either high or low
engine speeds without a load on the engine.
4. Check the instruments frequently and keep the
radiator and oil reservoirs filled to their recom-
mended levels. Daily checks include :
Engine oil level
Radiator coolant
Air cleaner
5. After the first 50 hours of use, be sure to per-
form the maintenance chart ,on Page 30.
WARNING
Never attempt to start the
engine while standing beside the trac-
tor always sit in the seat when starting
the engine.
