CLEANING THE TRACTOR

Your tractor is a state- of- the- art machine with sophisti-
cated, electronic controls. This should be taken into con-
sideration 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.
