For general greasing points, refer to the
fuel, oil and fluid specification chart.
However, add grease before work if the
tractor is to be used in a wet field.
▶ GREASING POINTS
Rubber parts, such as the fuel hose and
radiator hose, are aged by time even
when the tractor is not in use.
Therefore, such parts should be
replaced with their tightening bands
every 2 years or when they are damaged.
▶ CHECKING HOSES
▶ CHECKING AND CHARGING
BATTERY
If any fuel hose is damaged, fuel leaks
and it can catch fire.
Make sure to check the fuel hose and
take a necessary action.
WARNING
When charging the battery after
removing it from the tractor, it produces
hydrogen gas, presenting a fire risk.
Charge the battery only in a well-
ventilated area.
The battery produces highly flammable
hydrogen gas which can explode. Keep
flammable items and spark away from
the battery.
The battery electrolyte is sulfuric acid so
can burn your skin and eyes.
Be careful not to spill any.
If the battery electrolyte gets on your
eyes, skin, clothes or object, rinse it with
water thoroughly.
If you swallowed it, drink a lot of water.
Also, get medical attention immediately
if acid contacts your eye or is swallowed.
If keeping using or charging the battery
with its electrolyte level below the
“LOWER LEVEL” mark, it can lead to
battery damage or even explosion.
