DAILY CHECK
For your own safety and maximum service life of the
machine, make a thorough daily inspection before
operating the machine to start the engine.
WARNING
To avoid personal injury or death:
Take the following precautions when checking the
tractor.
• Park the machine on firm and level ground.
• Set the parking brake.
• Lower the implement to the ground.
• Release all residual pressure of the hydraulic
system.
• Stop the engine and remove the key.
• Lower the front suspension to the lowest
position (front suspension type only).
1. Walk around inspection
Look around and under the tractor for items such as
loose bolts, rubbish build-up, oil or coolant leaks,
broken or worn parts.
Furthermore clean tyres and front fenders if there is a
rubbish build-up.
2. Checking and refuelling
WARNING
To avoid personal injury or death:
• Never use fire.
• Do not smoke while refuelling.
• Be sure to stop the engine and remove the key
before refuelling.
• Use properly grounded fueling systems. Make
sure that there is no static discharge.
To avoid allergic skin reaction:
• Wash hands immediately after contact with
diesel fuel.
1. Check the amount of fuel by looking at the fuel
gauge.
2. When the fuel warning indicator lights up, it is time
to add fuel.
3. Before removing the fuel cap, clean dirt away from
the caps and the tank openings.

Fuel tank capacity 330 L
IMPORTANT :
• Be sure to use ultra low sulphur fuel (S15).
• Do not permit dirt or rubbish to get into the fuel
system.
• Be careful not to let the fuel tank become
empty. Otherwise, air will enter the fuel system,
necessitating bleeding before the next engine
start.
• If the engine runs out of fuel and stalls, engine
components may become damaged.
• Be careful not to spill during refuelling. If a spill
occurs wipe it off at once or it may cause a fire.
• To prevent condensation (water) accumulation
in the fuel tank, fill the tank before parking
overnight.
3. Checking anti-frost heater for oil
separator (if equipped)
WARNING
To avoid personal injury or death:
• Because there are rotating parts like the fan,
and so on, near the inspection position, keep
the engine off during inspection.
When operating tractors with anti-frost heaters for oil
separator in cold regions (below the freezing point:
0
℃ / 32 ℉ ), carry out inspection by using the following
