to be observed to ensure your safety and the
safety of others. Read the safety precautions and
follow the advice offered before operating the

CLEANING THE TRACTOR

Your tractor is a state-of-the-art machine with
sophisticated, electronic controls. This should be
taken into consideration when cleaning the
tractor, particularly if using a high-pressure
washer. Even though every precaution has been
taken to safeguard electronic components and
connections, the pressure generated by some of
these machines is such that complete protection
against water ingress cannot be guaranteed.
When using a high pressure washer, do not stand
too close to the tractor and avoid directing the jet
at electronic components, electrical connections,
breathers, seals, filler caps, etc. Never direct a
cold-water jet at a hot engine or exhaust.
