CHECKING HOSES AND LINES
The fuel lines, radiator hoses, hydraulic and rubber hoses are consumables, which deteriorate
by age and use.
Check them regularly and replace them if they are faulty.
Damaged fuel lines leak and cause fires.
Damaged radiator hoses can cause hot water burns, and in severe cases, seize the engine.
Caution

CHECKING THE WIRING HARNESS AND FUSES
Loose wires make inferior connections and damaged wires can cause short circuits, fires burnt wiring
or reduce the efficiency of the components.
Replace or repair any faulty wiring or insulation.
If a fuse burns out again after it has been replaced, do not replace it with wire or a high capacity fuse,
find the cause and rectify it or get an auto electrician to do so.
Where insulation is chafed or peeled off, recover the area with a good quality insulation tape. Where
wiring comes out of its fitting, replace it correctly with the standard fitting.
Incorrect wiring or fuses can cause fires to both the tractor and surrounding area so
get the dealer to check it annually.
Likewise, fuel pipes and wiring age with use.
Ask your dealer to check them at least once every 2 years and replace them as
required
.

REPLACING FUSES
The circuit has 8 blade type fuses in its wiring circuit
(See diagram on page 86)
When a fuse has blown, replace it with one of the same value.
Using a large capacity fuse or wire burns out the wiring system.
Use fuse tongs to replace fuses.
►
MAIN FUSES
The wiring harness is equipped with 3 main fuses whose
function is to preserve the wiring.
However when a main fuse blows, the entire circuit becomes dead.
Always check the causes and rectify them before replacing with a
fuse of the same value.
Blown fuses will be discolored.
