▶ LUBRICATING OIL
• GENERAL
Modern diesel engines place very high
demands on the lubricating oil to be
used. The specific engine performances
which have increased constantly over
the last few years lead to an increased
thermal load on the lubricating oil. The
lubricating oil is also more exposed to
contamination due to reduced oil
consumption and longer oil change
intervals. For this reason it is necessary
to observe requirements and
recommendations described in this
operating manual in order not to
shorten the life of the engine.
Lubricating oils always consist of a base
oil and an additive package.
The most important tasks of a
lubricating oil (e.g. wear protection,
corrosion protection, neutralization of
acids from combustion products,
prevention of coke and soot deposits on
the engine parts) are assumed by the
additives. The properties of the base oil
are also decisive for the quality of the
▶ OIL SYSTEM
1. Always use recommended grade of
oil.
2. Everyday before starting the engine,
check the oil level with a dipstick &
refill between the minimum &
maximum level.
3. Charge the engine oil.
Replace filter & O-ring, as & when
required.
▶ BRAKE
1. If the tractor has to be stopped for a
long period, it is advisable to bring
the transmission in neutral position.
2. Do not override the brake pedals.
3. While coming down from a slope,
reduce the engine throttle & use
low gear.
Do not depend only on the brakes
for stoppage.
