Delivery Instructions

Prior to delivery, do the following checks, clean tractor and review this manual with the owner/operator. Make sure owner/operator can safely operate every function of this machine.

Check Tire Pressure

c CAUTION: Avoid injury! Explosive separation of tire and rim parts is possible when they are serviced incorrectly:

· Do not attempt to mount a tire without the proper equipment and experience to perform the job.

· Do not inflate the tires above the recommended pressure.

· Do not weld or heat a wheel and tire assembly. Heat can cause an increase in air pressure resulting in an explosion. Welding can structurally weaken or deform the wheel.

· Do not stand in front or over the tire assembly when inflating. Use a clip-on chuck and extension hose long enough to allow you to stand to one side.

1. Check tires for damage.

2. Check tire pressure with an accurate gauge.

3. Add or remove air, if necessary.

Checking Fluid Levels

IMPORTANT: Avoid damage! Engine damage can be caused by low fluid levels. Do not start engine before checking fluid levels.


Check Radiator Coolant Level:

· With engine cold, coolant level should be at the LOW line on the coolant overflow tank. Add coolant as necessary.

Check Engine Oil Level:

· Oil level should be in between the "ADD" and "FULL" marks on dipstick. Add oil as necessary.

Check Transmission Oil Level:

· Transmission oil level should be to the top of the XX area of the transmission dipstick. Add oil as necessary.

Check Front Axle Oil Level:

· Front axle oil level should be to the top of the XX area of the front axle dipstick. Add oil as necessary.

Check Battery

c CAUTION: Avoid injury! Prevent Battery Explosions:

Keep sparks, lighted matches, and open flame away from the top of battery. Battery gas can explode.

Never check battery charge by placing a metal object across the posts. Use a volt-meter or hydrometer.

Do not charge a frozen battery; it may explode. Warm battery to 16 degrees C (60 degrees F).

NOTE: For additional battery information see the Service Electrical section of this manual.

If starting motor turns over quickly, then battery is charged. If engine will not turn over and headlights are dim or will not turn on, charge the battery.

Charge the battery for a minimum of 30 minutes at 5 - 10 amps. If your battery charger has a "Deep Cycle" or "Maintenance Free" setting, use this setting to charge the battery.
