How a new tractor is handled and main-
tained determines the life of the tractor.
A new tractor just off the factory pro-
duction line has been, of course, tested,
but the various parts are not accustomed
to each other, so care should be taken to
operate the tractor for the first 50 hours
at a slower speed and avoid excessive
work or operation until the various parts
become “broken-in.”. The manner in
which the tractor is handled during the
“breaking-in.” period greatly affects the
life of your tractor. Therefore, to obtain
the maximum performance and the long-
est life of the tractor, it is very important
to properly break-in your tractor.
OPERATING NEW TRACTOR
- Do a walk around inspection.
- Check the engine oil level
- Check the transmission oil level
- Check the coolant level
- Clean the grill and radiator screen.
- Check the air cleaner and evacuator
valve.
- Check the brake pedal
- Check all dash gauges and indicators
- Check head lights, tail lights, and all
working lights.
- Check accessible wiring harness for
any damage.
- Check the seat belt and ROPS for
damage.
- Refuel (See “daily check” in the peri-
odic service section)
- Check all danger and warning labels.
PRE-OPERATION CHECK
It is a good practice to know the condi-
tion of your tractor before you start it.
You should do routine check before each
use.
CAUTION
To avoid personal injury:
Be sure to check and service the
tractor on a level surface with the
engine shut off and the parking
brake “ENGAGED”.
