(2) securely.
2. Replace radiator hoses (1) and tighten clamp bands (2)
securely, if radiator hoses (1) are swollen, hardened or cracked.
Replace radiator hoses (1) and clamp bands (2) every 2 years

hardened or cracked.
Precaution at Overheating
Take the following action in the event the coolant temperature is
nearly or more than the boiling point, what is called "Overheating".
1. Park the tractor in a safe place and keep the engine unloaded
idling.
2. Do not stop the engine suddenly, but stop it after about 5
minutes of unloaded idling.
3. Keep yourself well away from the machine for further 10
minutes or while the steam blows out.
4. Check that there are no dangers such as burns. Get rid of the
causes of overheating according to the manual, see
"TROUBLESHOOTING" section, and then, start again the
engine.
