A - Battery charge indicator

B - Engine oil pressure indicator

C - Coolant temperature gauge

Warm up tractor with care. Observe indicator lights battery charge warning (A), oil pressure (B) and coolant thermometer (C).

Avoid unnecessary engine idling.

The following recommendations should be strictly followed during engine breaking-in period:

1. Maintain engine oil level between the maximum and minimum marks on the dipstick and change the oil after the first 90 to 110 hours of operation.
2. Subject the engine to moderate to heavy loads and run at different speeds.
3. If the engine was subjected to a light load for a relatively prolonged period or if within the first 100 hours of operation oil had to be added, a longer break-in period is required. In these situations change the engine oil and filter at 100 hours and begin a new break-in period for another 100 hours, using special oil for breaking-in or a "fine" oil and follow the above procedures.
4. Check the oil level more regularly in this break-in period.

IMPORTANT: During the first 100 hours do not top up oil unless the oil level is below the minimum mark on the dipstick.

During the break-in period of new or rebuilt engines only use special break-in oil or "fine" oils of type SAE 10W - 30.

Do not use ordinary SAE 15W-40 oil, since oils of this type do not provide for the appropriate breaking-in of the engine.
