Lubrication & Maintenance
15. FueL SaVinG tiPS
To save fuel & oil in your tractor, fol-
lowing things should always be kept
in mind.
1. Clean the air cleaner regularly so
that dust does not settle down.
. For every 50 hours & everyday in
sandy/dusty conditions.

Clean the air cleaner filter ele -
ment with compressed air.

If the rubber ring is cut or ex-
panded then change it with an
appropriate one. Fix the rubber
at the proper location & check
for leakages if any.

If air is leaking through the hose
connection, check & rectify oth-
er leakages, too.


If air cleaning system is not
properly maintained, it will lead
to early wear of piston rings &
sleeves. This will lead to prob-
lems like loss of engine power,
excessive oil consumption fuel
consumption.
1. Put the engine oil on load after
the engine is heated & the water
temperature gauge indicates the
needle to be in the green zone.
. If excessive black smoke is vis-
ible, then the paper element of
air cleaner, Fuel injection pump
or nozzles should be checked.
. Do not run the engine without
load for more than minutes. It
is better to stop the engine rath-
er than run it idle. This will help
in saving of fuel.
