SECTION 5
REGULAR MAINTENANCE GUIDE
To keep your tractor operating in the top condition and to assure
its proper performance and reliability for a long period of time,
periodic inspection is indispensable. If your tractor is not
periodically serviced, the result will be such that its perfor-
mance and operating life will be reduced. Also a major break-
down is more likely to occur, which will entail much more
expense what you would pay for regular maintenance.
Maintenance and servicing are very important, however, the
procedure is very simple. Carry out daily checking, greasing
and periodic service by carefully following the instructions given in
this manual. In addition to daily inspection the following ser-
vicing must be carried out:
NOTE
The tractor should always be kept clean. Before greasing
or removing the oil pan plug and filter cap, be sure to wipe
the surface clean. When using tools for repairing inside the
engine, transmission, fuel tank or hydraulic unit, clean the
tools before use. Be careful especially when refueling. If
dust or water gets in the fuel, engine trouble will be experi-
enced, resulting in loss of power and the unexpected
necessity of parts replacement. The tractor should be ser-
viced indoors where there is plenty of room and it is as
clean as possible.
SERVICE SCHEDULE
Observe the following service schedule. This service schedule
is applied to tractors which are operated under normal condi-
tions. When your tractor is frequently operated in muddy
