Electrical systems
• If it is necessary to use auxiliary batteries, cables must be connected at both sides as follows.
(+) to (+) and (-) to (-). Avoid short-circuiting the terminals. Gas released from batteries is highly flammable. During
charging, leave the battery compartment uncovered to improve ventilation. Avoid sparks or flames near the battery
area. Do not smoke.
• Do not charge batteries in confined spaces.
• Always disconnect the batteries before performing any type of service on the electrical system.
Hydraulic systems
• Some fluid coming out from a very small port can be almost invisible and be strong enough to penetrate skin. For
this reason, Never use your hands to check for leaks, but use a piece of cardboard or a piece of wood for this
purpose. If any fluid is injected into the skin, seek medical aid immediately. Lack of immediate medical attention
may result in serious infections or dermatitis.
• Always take system pressure readings using the appropriate gauges.
Wheels and tires
• Check that the tires are correctly inflated at the pressure specified by the manufacturer. Periodically check for
possible damage to the rims and tires.
• Stay a the tire side when inflating.
• Check the pressure only when the tractor is unloaded and tires are cold to avoid wrong reading due to over- pres-
sure.
• Never cut, nor weld a rim with the inflated tire assembled.
• To remove the wheels, block both front and rear tractor wheels. Raise the tractor and install safe and stable supports
under the tractor in accordance with the regulations in force.
• Deflate the tire before removing any object caught into the tire tread.
• Never inflate tires using flammable gases as they may originate explosions and cause injuries to bystanders.
Removal and installation
• Lift and handle all heavy components using lifting equipment of adequate capacity. Ensure that parts are supported
by appropriate slings and hooks. Use lifting eyes provided to this purpose. Take care of the persons near the loads
to be lifted.
