1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

11. Safe Practices for Servicing Your Tractor

Before starting any servicing work, park your tractor on solid, level ground, engage the parking brake securely, lower the implement to the ground, set all the levers to the neutral position, shut down the engine and remove the starter key switch.

1.Always keep a first-aid kit and a fire extinguisher readily available.

2.Before accessing the engine, muffler, radiator or other possibly hot components, wait until the tractor has fully cooled off.

10.Carefully loosen the radiator cap to the first stop, and allow excessive pressure to escape, and only then remove the radiator cap. If the tractor is equipped with a coolant reserve tank, add coolant or water to the reserve tank, not to the radiator (See “Checking the Cooling System”).

3.Use extreme care in handling gasoline and diesel fuels. They are extremely flammable and the vapors are explosive. Use only an approved container.

4.Be sure to shut down the engine before refueling. After refueling, replace fuel cap securely and wipe off any spilled fuel before starting the engine as it may cause a fire or explosion.

5.Do not smoke while refueling. Keep any spark or open flame away from the fuel tank.

6.Never refuel the machine indoors because fuel vapors will accumulate in the area.

7.Never store the fuel container or machine inside where there is an open flame or spark, such as a gas hot water heater, space heater or furnace.

8.Do not smoke while working around the battery. Keep any spark or open flame away from the battery. The battery emits hydrogen and oxygen gas, in particular, during recharging and can pose a hazard of explosion.

9.Prior to “jump starting” a tractor that has a fully depleted battery, read and follow all the instructions in the “7. OPERATING THE ENGINE”.

11.Before working on or around electric components, first disconnect the battery ground cable.

12.To prevent a spark occurring from short-circuit, disconnect the battery grounding (–) terminal first and reconnect last.

13.The operator must not mount a tire onto a rim. Only qualified personnel should do this task.

14.Always keep the tires at a correct pressure level. Do not exceed the recommended tire pressure specified in the operator’s manual.

15.Keep the tractor securely supported while changing the wheels or adjusting the wheel tread width. Be sure to tighten the wheel bolts at the specified tightening torque.
