►CHECKING HOSES AND LINES
The fuel lines, radiator hoses, hydraulic and
rubber hoses are consumables, which deteri-
orate by age and use.
Check them regularly and replace if faulty.
Damaged fuel lines leak
and cause res.
Damaged radiator hoses
can cause hot water burns
and in severe cases seize
the engine.
Caution
► CHECKING THE WIRING HAR-
NESS AND FUSES
Loose wires make inferior connections and
damaged wires can cause short circuits, res
burnt wiring or reduce efciency of compo-
nents. Replace or repair any faulty wiring or
insulation.
If a fuse burns out again after it has been re-
placed, do not replace it with wire or a high
capacity fuse, nd the cause and rectify it
or get an auto electrician to do so.
Where insulation is chafed or peeled off, re-
cover the area with a good quality insulation
tape. Where wiring comes out of it’s tting
replace it correctly with the standard tting.
Incorrect wiring or fuses
can cause res to both the
tractor and surrounding
area so get the dealer to
check it annually. Like-
wise fuel pipes and wiring
age with use.
Ask your dealer to check it
at least once every 2 years
and replace as required
Important
► REPLACING FUSES
The circuit has 8 blade type fuses in its wir-
ing circuit (See diagram on page 135)
When a fuse has blown replace it with one of
the same value.
Using a large capacity fuse or wire burn out
the wiring system.
Use fuse tongs to replace fuses.
► MAIN FUSES
The wiring harness is equipped with 3 main
fuses who’s function is to preserve the wir-
ing. However when a main fuse blows the
entire circuit is dead.Always check the rea-
son & rectify before replacing the fuse of the
same value.
