PRECAUTIONS FOR USING 3-
POINT HITCH
• Use the 3-point hitch only with equipment designed
for 3-point hitch usage.
• When using a 3-point-hitch-mounted-implement, be
sure to install the proper counterbalance-weight on
the front of the tractor.
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 is equipped with a
coolant-recovery-tank, add coolant or water to the
coolant-recovery-tank. Do not add coolant to the
radiator.
(See Checking the coolant level on page 101)
• Always stop the engine before refueling. Avoid
spills and overfilling.
• Do not smoke 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.
• Before jump starting a dead battery, read and follow
all of the instructions.
(See JUMP STARTING THE ENGINE on page 54)
• 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.

• Do not mount a tire on a rim. Only a qualified
person should mount a tire on a rim with the proper
equipment.
• Always maintain the correct tire pressure. Do not
inflate the tires above the recommended pressure
shown in Inflation pressure of tires on page 83.
• Securely support the tractor when either changing
wheels or adjusting the width of wheel tread.
• Make sure that the wheel bolts have been tightened
to the specified torque.
(See WHEEL ADJUSTMENT on page 83)
• Do not work under any hydraulically supported
devices. They can settle, suddenly leak down, or be
accidentally lowered. If it is necessary to work
under the tractor or any machine elements for
servicing or adjustment, securely support them with
stands or suitable blocking beforehand.
• Escaping hydraulic fluid under pressure obtains
sufficient force to penetrate skin, so escaping
hydraulic fluid under pressure can cause serious
personal injury. Before disconnecting the hydraulic
lines, be sure to release all residual pressure.
Before applying pressure to the hydraulic system,
make sure that all connections are tight and that all
lines, pipes, and hoses are free of damage.
