Most of operations of planned maintenance may be carried out by the driver or other user of the tractor.

In case you do not have sufficient technical equipment, let the difficult operations carried out by a specialised

repair shop.

All works, connected with cleaning, lubrication and adjustments of the tractor or coupled

mechanisms may only be carried out after stopping of the engine and other movable components

except checks of brakes, recharging and hydraulic system.

Opening the hood

Opening the hood:

Release the hood by pressing the button (1), grasp it in

the places of arrows and lift it. Thanks to a gas brace the

hood will open automaticallyafter that.

The hood is locked in this lifted position thanks to this gas-

liquid brace.

Closing the hood:

Pull the hood down with the strap, grasp it in the place of

arrows and press it downwards until the hood lock snaps.

Do not use excessive force to close the front

hood as the filaments of headlight bulbs situated in

thefront hood might get damaged.

Checking the oil level in the engine

Check the oil level daily before starting work with the

tractor in the horizontal position. Unscrew the dipstick,

wipe it with a piece of cloth and screw it back in. After

repeated removal of the dipstick the oil level must not drop

below the lower mark. Replenish oil as necessary through

the filling opening.

Draining oil from the engine

Drain oil by unscrewing the drain plug (3), best immediately after a drive or after heating the engine to the

working temperature. Clean the drain plug before returning it to its place. Check the sealing ring for integrity.

Replacing the full-flow engine oil cleaner

The cleaner is replaced at every engine oil replacement. Before installing the new cleaner clean the sealing

surface of the housing (1) and the cleaner (2). Coat the rubber sealing with oil that you will fill the engine with

and tighten the cleaner by hand. When the sealing gets in contact with the block sealing, tighten the cleaner

again by 3/4 to 1 1/4 turns. Check the cleaner for possible leaks after starting the engine.
