• Before “jump starting” a dead battery, read and
follow all of the instructions.
(See JUMP STARTING on page 137.)
• Keep first aid kit and fire extinguisher handy at all
times.
• Disconnect the battery's ground cable 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 battery's ground cable (-)
first and reconnect it last.

• Do not attempt to mount a tyre on a rim. This
should be done by a qualified person with the
proper equipment.
• Always maintain the correct tyre pressure. Do not
inflate tyres above the recommended pressure
shown in the operator's manual.
• Securely support the tractor when either changing
wheels or adjusting the wheel tread width.
• Make sure that wheel bolts have been tightened to
the specified torque.
• Disconnect the battery's ground cable and stop the
engine to avoid the possibility of the machine
runaway due to 4WD braking system during testing,
service or repair with only rear wheels off the
ground.
• 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 tractor or any machine elements for servicing
or adjustment, securely support them with stands or
suitable blocking beforehand.
• Escaping hydraulic fluid under pressure has
sufficient force to penetrate skin, causing serious
personal injury. Before disconnecting 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.
• Fluid escaping from pinholes may be invisible. Do
not use hands to search for suspected leaks; use a
piece of cardboard or wood. Use of safety goggles
or other eye protection is also highly recommended.
If injured by escaping fluid, see a medical doctor at
once. This fluid will produce gangrene or severe
allergic reactions.

• Do not open the high-pressure fuel system.
High-pressure fluid remaining in fuel lines can
cause serious injury. Do not disconnect or attempt
to repair fuel lines, sensors, or any other
components between the high-pressure fuel pump
