levels. Water level in the radiator and
electrolyte level in the battery and per-

and preventative mechanisms of the
Tractor and implement work correctly
and effectively.
4. Ensure that an adequate set of the cor-
rect tools is available for maintenance
and minor repairs.

pairs are carried out on a at area with
a concrete or similar oor. Do not car-
ry out service work on a tractor until it

tractor is started in a conned area, en-
sure that the area is well ventilated as
exhaust gases are very harmful, and
can cause death.

that a suitable wheel stand is placed
under the axle prior to removing the
wheel and the wheels are chocked.

water. Do not add water in the radia-
tor when the engine is hot. Add water
to the radiator only after the engine
