41PERIODIC SERVICE
DAILY CHECK
For your own safety and maximum service life of the
machine, make a thorough daily inspection before
operating the machine to start the engine.
To avoid personal injury:
A Be sure to check and service the tractor on a
level surface with the engine shut off and the
parking brake "ON" and implement lowered to
the ground.
BWalk Around Inspection
Look around and under the tractor for such items as loose
bolts, trash build-up, oil or coolant leaks, broken or worn
parts.
BChecking and Refueling
To avoid personal injury:
A Do not smoke while refueling.
A Be sure to stop the engine before refueling.
1. Turn the key switch to "ON", check the amount of fuel
by fuel gauge.
2. Fill fuel tank when fuel gauge shows 1/4 or less fuel in
tank.
A Do not permit dirt or trash to get into the fuel system.
A Be careful not to let the fuel tank become empty,
otherwise air will enter the fuel system, necessitating
bleeding before next engine start.
A Be careful not to spill during refueling. If a spill should
occur, wipe it off at once, or it may cause a fire.
A To prevent condensation (water) accumulation in the
fuel tank, fill the tank before parking overnight.
BChecking Engine Oil Level
To avoid personal injury:
A Be sure to stop the engine before checking the
oil level.
1. Park the machine on a flat surface.
2. Check engine oil before starting the engine or 5
minutes or more after the engine has stopped.
3. To check the oil level, draw out the dipstick, wipe it
clean, replace it, and draw it out again. Check to see
that the oil level lies between the two notches.
If the level is too low, add new oil to the prescribed
level at the oil inlet.
(See "LUBRICANTS" in "MAINTENANCE" section.)
A When using an oil of different maker or viscosity from
the previous one, remove all of the old oil.
Never mix two different types of oil.
A If oil level is low, do not run engine.
