CONDITION OF THE TRACTOR
Maintaining the tractor in the best possible condition, by
carrying out all routine maintenance (oil changes, level
checks, overhauls, adjustments and thorough cleaning) will
allow it to be used in the safest and most profitable way.
Check the following items first:
-
High temperature components: Check that airborne
particles such as straw, grass, wood chips etc., do not
accumulate in high temperature areas. Clear debris from
around the engine and the exhaust system. For tools
attached to the front or the side of the tractor, inspect and
clean the areas around the attachments for the various
supports.
- Brakes: Check that the brakes work properly. Check the
operation of the hand brake and foot brake.
- Steering: Check the operation of the hydrostatic steering.
- Transmission: Check the transmission fluid level
(especially if external services are used).
- Hydraulic system: Check the condition of the system
(unions, pipes, hoses), particularly the hoses to the
steering actuators.
- Electrical system: Check the condition of the electrical
system (batteries, wiring, headlights, indicator lights,
hazard lights, rotating beacons, windscreen wipers, etc.).
- Lighting - indicators: All lighting and indicating
equipment must not only be in working order, but must be
fully visible; clean them. Carry a spare set of bulbs.
Replace any defective element.
Only fit genuine CLAAS parts. The CLAAS network is at your
