Servicing The Tractor - MASSEY FERGUSON 410 Operators Instruction Book

Safety Notes
Before applying pressure to the fuel or hydraulic
system, be sure all connections are tight and that
lines, pipes, and hoses are not damaged. Before
disconnecting fuel or hydraulic lines, be sure to relieve
all pressure. Make sure that all hydraulic lines are
correctly installed and not crossed.
WARNING: Liquid cooling systems
build up pressure as the engine gets
hot. Before removing the radiator cap,
stop the engine and let the system cool.
Check the engine cooling system and
add coolant as required.
Clean the tractor
*Keep work surfaces and engine compartments
clean.
*Before cleaning the machine, always lower
implements to the ground, place transmission in
neutral, engage the parking brake, shut off the
engine and remove the key.
*Clean steps, pedals and floor. Remove grease or
oil. Brush away dust or mud. In winter, scrape
away snow and ice. Remember - slippery surfaces
are dangerous.
*Remove or put away tools, buckets, chains and
hooks.
Protect the environment
*It is illegal to pollute drains, water courses or soil.
Use authorized waste disposal facilities, including
civic amenity sites and garages providing facilities
for disposal of used oil. If in doubt, contact your
local authority for advice.

Servicing the tractor

*DO NOT service the tractor while the engine is
running or hot, or if the tractor is in motion (Fig.
10).
*Before making adjustments to, or servicing the
electrical system, disconnect the battery negative(-
) cable first.
*To prevent fires or explosions keep open flame
away from the battery or cold weather starting aids.
To prevent sparks which could cause explosions
use jumper cables according to instructions.
*When making repairs or adjustments it is
recommended that you consult your Massey
Ferguson Dealer, and have the work carried out
by trained personnel.
*The implement and/or tractor must be supported
on suitable wooden blocks or stands. NOT a
hydraulic jack.
*Check all nuts and bolts periodically for tightness,
especially wheel hub and rim nuts. Tighten to the
prescribed torque values.
*Check the brakes regularly. Adjust when necessary.
