• When operating the stationary PTO-driven-
equipment, always apply the parking brake of
tractor and place the chocks behind and in front of
the rear wheels. Stay clear of all rotating parts.
Never step over rotating parts.
PRECAUTIONS FOR USING 3-
POINT HITCH
• Use the 3-point hitch only with equipment designed
for the appropriate category of 3-point hitch usage.
• When using an implement mounted to the 3-point
hitch, be sure to install the proper counterbalance-
weight on the front of the tractor.
• When transporting the loads on the road, set the
implement-lowering-speed-knob in the lock position
to hold the implement in the raised position.

PRECAUTIONS FOR
SERVICING THE TRACTOR
Before servicing the tractor, follow the following
procedure.
1. park the tractor on a firm, flat, and level surface.
2. Set the parking brake.
3. Lower all implements to the ground.
4. Place the gear-shift-lever in the neutral position.
5. Stop the engine.
6. Remove the starter key.
• Allow the tractor time to cool off before working on
or near the engine, muffler, radiator, and so on.
• Do not remove the radiator cap while coolant is hot.
When coolant is cool, slowly rotate the radiator cap
to the first stop and allow sufficient time for excess
pressure to escape before removing the radiator
cap completely. If the tractor equips a coolant-
recovery-tank, add coolant or water to the coolant-
recovery-tank. Do not add coolant to the radiator.
(See
5. Checking the coolant level on page 79
)
• Always stop the engine before refueling. Avoid
spills and overfilling. Always use properly grounded
fueling systems and make sure that no static
discharge occurs during fueling.
• Do not smoke or no fire when working around the
battery or when the tractor is refueling. Keep all
sparks and flames away from the battery and fuel
tank. The battery presents an explosive hazard,
because it gives off hydrogen and oxygen
especially when you are recharging it. After
refueling, make sure to close the tank cap securely.
• Before jump starting a dead battery, read and follow
all of the instructions.
(See
JUMP STARTING THE ENGINE on page 40
)
• Keep first-aid-kit and fire extinguisher handy at all
times.
• Disconnect the ground cable of battery before
working on or near electric components.
• To avoid the possibility of battery explosion, do not
use or charge the refillable type battery if the fluid
level is below the lower (lower limit level) mark.
Check the fluid level regularly and add distilled
water as required so that the fluid level is between
the upper and lower levels.
• To avoid sparks from an accidental short circuit,
always disconnect the ground cable (-) of battery
first and reconnect it last.
