1. NOTE: Park tractor on level ground before executing checks.

   Check engine oil level. Clean dipstick (A) and reinsert fully. Withdraw it again and check oil level. The window for safe operation of engine is when the oil level is between the upper and lower marks of the dipstick.

   Do not operate the engine if oil level is below minimum mark. In this case, add recommended oil. (See “Fuels, Lubricants, Coolant” section.)

2. Check coolant level of radiator expansion tank (C). If the engine is cold and coolant level is below LOW, add coolant to expansion tank until level reaches LOW mark.

   NOTE: With engine cold, coolant level should be at LOW mark. At operating temperature coolant level of a tractor should be at FULL mark.

3. Lubricate the following points every 10 hours if operating the tractor in extremely wet or excessively muddy conditions.

   • Front axle pivot pins.
   • Rear axle bearings.
   
   

4. Lubricate the following items after pressure washing, if necessary:

   • Hood latch
   • Operator's seat slide rails
   
   

5. IMPORTANT: Never run the engine when the dust unloading valve is removed!
