(6) Do not remove radiator cap while coolant is hot. Add coolant to the
coolant recovery tank, not to the radiator.
(7) Disconnect the battery’s ground cable before working on or near
electric components.
(8) To avoid sparks from an accidental short circuit, always disconnect
the battery’s ground cable first and connect it last.
(9) Do not attempt to mount a tire on a rim unless qualified to do so and
all proper safety precautions are followed.
(IO) Provide adequate support when changing wheels.
(11) Make sure that wheel bolts have been tightened to the specified
torque.
(12) Escaping hydraulic fluid under pressure has sufficient force to
penetrate skin, causing serious personal injury. Before disconnecting
hydraulic lines, be sure to release all residual pressure. Before apply-
ing pressure to the hydraulic system, make sure that all connections
are tight and that all lines, pipes, and hoses are free of damage.
Fluid escaping from pinholes may not be visible. Do not use your bare
hands to search for suspected leaks. Use a piece of cardboard or
wood, instead. The use of safety goggles or other eye protection is
also highly recommended.
If injured by escaping fluid, see a medical doctor at once. Fluid can
produce severe reactions.
8. Jump starting instructions and precautions
If ice is present or the battery is cracked, do not attempt to “jump start”
the vehicle.
(I) Bring a helper vehicle with a battery of the same voltage as disabled
tractor within easy cable reach. THE VEHICLES MUST NOT TOUCH.
(2) Engage the parking brakes of both vehicles and put the shift levers in
neutral. Turn off both key switches.
(3) Put on safety goggles and rubber gloves.
(4) Remove the vent caps from both batteries.
