When using first after long-term storage, check each part as below.
 Inflate the tires to the recommended pressures and remove the blocking.
 Check the damaged part or loosen part.
 Check the leakage of fuel, coolant, engine oil, transmission and front axle oil.
 Check the level and density of the engine coolant.
 Check the level of engine, transmission, rear and front axle oil, and fuel.
(For further information, refer to the chapter 5, “Lubrication and Maintenance” in this manual.)
 Check all drive belts carefully, paying particular attention to the point where the straight run of the belt
starts to bend around the pulley. Check the vee groove in the pulley for corrosion.
 Electric system check
- Is there any open circuit or any other problem in the wiring?
- Is there any problem of the instruments?
- Is the charging state of the battery sufficient?
 Depress the clutch pedal and disengage the
clutch pedal locker. (MEC models only)
 Start the engine and allow it to idle a few minutes.
Ensure the engine is receiving lubrication and
each control is functioning correctly.
 Run the engine at a fast idling speed (suggest
1000/1500 rpm) until normal operating
temperature is registered, and check the
surroundings for oil, fuel and coolant leakage.
 Drive the tractor without a load and check if the
tractor is operating satisfactorily.
