It is recommended that only an Authorized Dealer carry out this service.
5.4.2. Starter motor maintenance.
Check and clean the starter motor pinion every 600 hours of operation.
To check and clean:
disconnect the cable from the battery earth terminal, from the starter motor and solenoid,
extract the three securing bolts and remove the starter motor,
examine the starter pinion for clutch dust contamination and, if necessary, clean with a solution of
75% paraffin (kerosene) and 25% lubricating oil.
5.4.3. Battery maintenance.
The battery is mounted on tractor R.H. side (1- Fig. 5.4.3) in metal box. To gain access to the battery,
remove the nut (2-Fig. 5.4.3) behind the box.
Check the electrolyte level every 50 hours of operation. The electrolyte level in each cell should be
10
15 mm above the top of separator plates and can be measured with glass tube. If necessary,
replenish each cell with distilled water to the required level.
When conventional battery is fitted, periodic inspection of electrolyte level and concentration is
required.
At regular intervals, clean the battery terminals and cable ends, then smear them with petroleum
jelly. Keep the battery top clean.
To ensure proper battery performance, check also at regular intervals the electrolyte concentration
so that the battery charge level could be defined.
If the battery is found discharged to 50 %, or more, it should be recharged until a signs of full battery
charge are evident (intensive gas emission) and the electrolyte concentration.
NOTE:
In some territories maintenance free batteries are fitted on tractors. Follow the
manufacturer’s maintenance instructions.
WARNING:
!
1. During servicing be utmost careful when in contact with sulphuric acid (pour acid
into water) to prevent contamination of the body, clothing or other objects. If such
contamination occurs, immediately flush the contaminated spot with water
liberally and neutralize with 2,5% solution of borax and water. The electrolyte
should be prepared using protective clothing and glasses.
2. Do not approach the battery with an open fire and avoid situations leading to
short-
circuit or “flashing” as explosion is likely to occur.
5.4.4. Spot lights adjustment.
Regarding the safety of road traffic the front headlights adjustment should be executed in authorized
service depot.
5.4.5. Bulb and fuse - replacement.
Be sure of correct power of installed bulb. Disconnect the main earth switch before bulb change.
NOTE:
Do not replace blown fuse with another of a different capacity
The fuses are placed in a box located under engine bonnet 4 (Fig. 5.5.1).
To gain access to fuses
remove plastic cover. Fuse layout is shown on Fig. 5.4.2.
Table No. 9 describes bulbs specification.
