2. Always fill the tank at the end of each day to reduce
overnight condensation of moisture in the air, in turn
to avoid damage to the fuel system.
3. Fuel filters should be replaced as per recommended
time schedule as the filtering capacity is not retained
after this specified time. It may allow harmful contam-
ination and damage the fuel injection system. Follow
the service schedule for draining the water from the
filters and cleaning the feed pump filter.
4. Always use genuine fuel filters available from your
Authorized Dealers.
5. Stop diesel leakage, if any, immediately.
6. Dirt particles entering the engine causes early wear
of liners and piston rings, resulting in loss of power,
engine oil & fuel consumption. Clean the pre-cleaner
bowl daily and change the air cleaner oil as men-
tioned in service schedule. Ensure that there is no
leakage through hoses and the air cleaner bowl seal
is in good condition, keep hose clamps tight.
7. Check the Radiator coolant level daily and top-up
with clean water only. Radiator fins should always
be kept clean. Should it be necessary to replace
radiator cap, use only genuine cap of the specified
pressure. Never try to remove the thermostat. Check
and adjust fan belt tension regularly. Ignoring these,
will result in engine over heating and heavy diesel
consumption.
8. Follow the running-in procedure given in this manual
for optimum performance of your tractor.
7 - MAINTENANCE
9. Do not run the engine in idle condition for more than
two minutes. It may result in wastage of fuel.
10. Do not rest your foot on clutch pedal, as this will
cause clutch slippage, loss of engine power and in-
creased fuel consumption. Maintain the specified
clutch pedal free play.
11. Always drive the tractor in proper gear.
12. Use a lower gear while driving down a slope and use
brakes sparingly.
13. Maintain proper tire pressures for field work as well
as for roadwork. Refer the tire pressure chart given
in this manual. Worn out tires causes wheel slippage
and waste fuel. Re-tread or replace the tires if they
are badly worn out. Adhere to tire ballasting as and
when required to reduce wheel slippage and fuel con-
sumption.
14. Always use matching implements to cut down the
diesel wastage. Implements should be maintained
in good condition, as usage of worn out implements
will waste fuel.
15. Always plow length wise and plan your field run to
reduce fuel consumption. Adjust the wheel track to
suit the implement and avoid overlap when working
in the field.
16. When using a PTO driven equipment, operate the
engine at the recommended speed to reduce fuel
consumption.
