SA221/324/424 Operation Manual
Before starting any service work, park the tractor on
solid and level ground, engage the parking brake
securely, for details, see "6. Lock and Set the
Parking Brake" on page 7-3, lower the implement to
the ground, move the range shift lever to N (neutral)
position, push down Power Take Off (PTO) switch to
OFF position, shut off the engine and remove the
key. Only trained adults should service the tractor.
Understand the instructions in the Operation Manual
before servicing.
1. Always keep a first aid kit and a fire extinguisher
readily available.
2. Before accessing the engine, muffler, radiator
and radiator cap or other possibly hot
components, wait until the tractor has fully cooled
down.
3. Keep the tractor and the attachments free of
grass, leaves or other debris build-up.
4. Use extreme care in handling diesel fuels. Diesel
fuels are extremely flammable and the vapors are
explosive. Use only a container approved by the
local effective law.
5. Close fuel shut-off valve before servicing the fuel
system.
6. Make sure to shut off and cool the engine before
refueling. After refueling, replace fuel filler cap
securely and wipe off any spilled diesel fuel
before starting the engine as the diesel fuel may
cause a fire or explosion.
7. Do not smoke while refueling. Keep any spark or
open flame away from the fuel tank.
8. Never refuel the tractor indoors because diesel
fuel vapors will accumulate in the area.
9. Never store the fuel container or tractor indoor
where there is an open flame or spark, such as a
gas water heater, space heater or furnace.
10. Do not smoke while working around the battery.
Keep any sparks or open flame away from the
battery. The battery emits hydrogen and oxygen
gasses, in particular during recharging and can
pose a hazard of explosion.
11. Prior to “jump starting” a tractor that has fully
depleted battery, read and follow all the
instructions in “Chapter 15. SERVICE THE
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM” on page 15-1.
12. Add coolant or water to the reserve tank, not to
the radiator (For details, see “Check the Cooling
System” on page 14-8).
13. Before working on or around electrical
components, disconnect the negative (–) battery
terminal first.
14. To prevent a spark occurring from short circuit,
disconnect the negative (–) battery terminal first
and reconnect last.
15. The operator must not mount a tire onto a rim.
Only qualified person must mount tire onto a rim.
16. Always keep the tires at the correct tire air
pressure level. Avoid exceeding the
recommended tire air pressure specified in the
Operation Manual
.
