SECTION 3 - LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE

The tractor engine must operate at the correct
temperature to obtain maximum efficiency and
service life. This is dependent on the cooling system.
Always fill the system with a 50/50 solution of
permanent antifreeze and clear water.
Check the coolant level daily or after every 10
hours of operation. The engine should be cold when
Open the hood, and check the coolant recovery
reservoir located next to the air cleaner. The fluid
should be between the low and the full marks on the
If the coolant recovery reservoir is empty, remove the
radiator cap, 1, and add a 50/50 solution of water and
antifreeze until the radiator is full. Then add the water
antifreeze solution to the coolant recovery reservoir
until it is to the full level.
The cooling system operates under pressure
controlled by the radiator cap. It is dangerous to
remove the cap while the system is hot. Always
cover the cap with a thick cloth and turn it slowly
counterclockwise to the first stop. Allow all
pressure to escape before removing the cap
If the coolant level is below the low mark on the
reservoir, add a 50/50 solution of water and
antifreeze to the coolant recovery reservoir bringing
