ALWAYS USE GENUINE PARTS WHEN
REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE REQUIRED
1. Keep the tractor and equipment properly
maintained.
2. Park the tractor/ equipment on level ground,
place the transmission in neutral, set the
parking brake, disengage the PTO, lower
the equipment to the ground, place all
control levers in neutral, shut off the engine
and remove the ignition key and allow the
rotating parts to stop BEFORE making any
equipment adjustments.
3. To avoid injury, do not adjust, unblock the
driving system, or service the equipment
with the tractor engine running. Make sure
rotating components have completely
stopped before leaving the operator’s seat.
4. Keep the tractor/ equipment clean. Snow ,
dirt or ice build-up can lead to malfunction
or personal injury from thawing and
refreezing in garage.
5. Always wear eye protection when cleaning
or servicing the equipment.
6. DO NOT service the tractor while the
engine is running or hot, or if the unit is in
motion. Always lower equipment to the
ground. If necessary to service equipment
in raised position, securely support with
stands or suitable blocking before working
underneath. Do not rely on hydraulically
supported devices for your safety. They can
settle suddenly, leak down, or be
accidentally lowered.
7. Do not attempt to service machine, clear
obstructions or unclog the equipment's
driving system with the engine running.
Always shut off engine and allow all motion

tightness, especially wheel hub and rim

check for leaks. Use a piece of cardboard
or paper to search for leaks.

hoses. Tighten all connections before
starting engine or pressurizing hoses.
