OPERATING 5-3
In handling a new tractor, the following
precautions should be observed.
You Should not operate the your trac-
tor at full speed for the first fifty hours
of use.
Avoid sudden starts and stops.
In cold climates, allow your tractor
plenty of time to warm up.
Do not run the engine at speeds faster
than necessary.
Use due caution when operating your
tractor on rough roads or terrain.
The above precautions are not limited to
new tractors only, but are a good prac-
tice for tractors regardless of their age.
Special attention should be given to new
tractors lubrication oil. New parts are not
accustomed to each other and are not
broken in properly. Small metal grit can
develop in the lubricating system as metal
parts begin to “break in”, and continuous
use of the contaminated oil can cause
damage and failure. Therefore you should
change the tractor’s oil after the break -
in period.
For further details of the oil change and
service schedule, see “maintenance”
section.
