Performing maintenance tasks
Follow these instructions when maintaining.
•
Test drive the tractor and test that all instruments and controls are working
properly.
•
Always stop the engine before starting the work.
•
Park the tractor on level ground, especially when doing oil checks.
•
Apply the parking brake to ensure that the tractor cannot move.
NOTE: If the ground is uneven, block the wheels.
•
Wash down the tractor so that the service work can be done easily and quicker.
Observe that if the tractor has extra equipment like towing device, air
conditioning, air pressure brakes and so on, the periodical maintenance and
checks for them must also be carried out.
Follow the instructions concerning general service tasks:
•
Observe the utmost cleanliness in all maintenance work.
Thoroughly wipe off filler caps and plugs as well as surrounding parts of the
tractor before filling up with fuel or oil.
CAUTION: Keep the engine surface clean in order to avoid the risk
of fire.
•
Check the oil level.
Be sure that the motor and oil have cooled down before checking the oil
level. The oil must have run down to the bottom of the oil sump before the
operation.
•
When changing the oil and filters, check their appearance.
Large amounts of dirt (for example heavily clogged filters) can point to a fault
which could cause extensive and costly repairs if not corrected in time.
WARNING: When changing the oil, notice that the oil can be very
hot when it drains from the tractor.
WARNING: Avoid touching the exhaust manifold, turbocharger
and other hot parts of the engine.
