COMMISSIONING THE UNIT

Engine break-in procedure

Your tractor will provide long and dependable service if
given proper care during the first 50-hour break-in period.
During the first 50 hours of operation:
1. Avoid "lugging" the engine. Operating in too high a
gear under heavy load may cause engine lugging,
which is indicated when the engine will not respond
to a throttle increase.
2. Use the lower gear ratios when pulling heavy loads
and avoid continuous operation at constant engine
speeds. You will save fuel and minimize engine wear
by selecting the correct gear ratio for a particular op-
eration. Operating the tractor in low gear with a light
load and high engine speed wastes fuel.
3. Avoid prolonged operation at either high or low engine
speeds without a load on the engine.
4. Check the instruments frequently and keep the ra-
diator and oil reservoirs filled to recommended lev-
els. Daily checks include the engine oil level, radiator
coolant, and air cleaner.
5. After the first 50 hours of use, be sure to perform the
maintenance items listed in the maintenance sched-
ule.
