MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT
Preliminary Service Inspection
When your new tractor has completed
50 hours work you are entitled to a 50
hour Service Inspection which must be un-
dertaken by your Dealer. This involves a
complete check of the tractor; routine ad-
justments, checking oil levels and chang-
ing the engine oil and filters. Full details
will be found in the Tractor Service Record
Book.
Please contact your ITMCO Dealer to
agree a convenient time when this work
can be carried out.
We strongly recommend you take ad-
vantage of this facility and also be pre-
sent when the service is carried out. This
will provide an opportunity to discuss any
operational problems with the Service En-
gineer.
Routine service
This section gives full details of the
service procedures necessary to maintain
your tractor in peak efficiency. Also infor-

required in setting up the tractor for work.
In order to obtain the best results, it
is important that the tractor has regular
preventive maintenance. It is recommend-
ed that the major services (500 and 1000
hour) are conducted by your local ITMCO
Dealer under the ITMCO Recommended
Service Programme. It must be remem-
bered that the responsibility for maintain-
ing your tractor in a safe and roadworthy
condition rests with you, the owner.
Service the tractor at the intervals
shown in the following pages. Use only
high quality lubricants when servicing.
It is a recommendation that mainte-

of an operating period so that the oils are
warm and drain easily.
• Before using a grease gun, clean the
grease fittings.

clean the area around the plug and cap.
• Always use a clean container for fresh
oil or diesel.
