NOTE: Tractors are supplied by the manufacturer with tires inflated at higher pressures then
recommended. The pressure should be adjusted afterwards by the user according to values given
in the tables of tire manufacturers and to the use anticipated for the tractor.
If these simple rules are carefully followed, they will ensure maximum working life for your tyres.
If you notice any cuts in the tread or side walls, have them vulcanized immediately to avoid
further damage to the tyres.

Drive slowly on roads if the pressure in the tyres has been reduced for use on soft earth.
To obtain maximum efficiency, do not use tyres with more than 30-50% wear.
NOTE: If the tractor is not going to be used for a long period of time, support it on raised blocks
to remove the load from the tyres.

NOTE:

Avoid parking the tractor on floors which are covered with oil or diesel fuel. Also avoid parking

the tractor where the tyres are permanently exposed to direct sunlight, especially if the tractor is not
going to be used for some time.

WARNING:

When jacking up the tractor, pay attention that its weight is correctly distributed and

Securely wedge the wheels on the ground. Tighten all nuts and bolts to the required torque.

NOTE:

Tractors are supplied by the manufacturer with tyres inflated at higher pressures than

recommended. The pressure should be adjusted afterwards by the user according to values given in the
tables of tyre manufacturers and to the use anticipated for the tractor
