Servicing The Tractor - MASSEY FERGUSON 4200 Series Operators Instruction Book

Check that the PTO driveline locking devices are
latched.
Check that the tractor PTO shield and driveline guards
are in place and operating properly.
Check the tractor and implement hydraulic system.
Have any leaks or damaged parts repaired or
replaced.
WARNING: Diesel fuel or hydraulic fluid
under pressure can penetrate the skin or eyes
and cause serious personal injury, blindness
or death. Fluid leaks, under pressure, may not be
visible. Use a piece of cardboard or wood to find
leaks. DO NOT use your bare hand. Wear safety
goggles for eye protection. If any fluid is injected into
the skin, it MUST be surgically removed within a few
hours by a doctor familiar with this type of injury (see
Fig. 12).
Before applying pressure to the fuel or hydraulic system,
be sure all connections are tight and that lines, pipes, and
hoses are not damaged. Before disconnecting fuel or
hydraulic lines, be sure to relieve all pressure.
Make sure that all hydraulic lines are correctly installed
and not crossed.
WARNING: Liquid cooling systems build up
pressure as the engine gets hot. Before
removing the radiator cap, stop the engine
and let the system cool.
Check the engine cooling system and add coolant
as required.
Clean the Tractor
Keep work surfaces and engine compartments clean.
Before cleaning the
implements to the ground, place transmission in
neutral, engage the parking brake, shut off the engine
and remove the key.
Clean steps, pedals and floor. Remove grease or oil.
Brush away dust or mud. In winter, scrape away
snow and ice. Remember - slippery surfaces are
dangerous.
Remove or put away tools, buckets, chains and
hooks.
Protect the Environment
It is illegal to pollute drains, water courses or soil. Use
authorised waste disposal facilities, including civic
amenity sites and garages providing facilities for
disposal of used oil. If in doubt, contact your local
authority for advice.

Servicing the Tractor

DO NOT service the tractor while the engine is
running or hot, or if the tractor is in motion (Fig .13).
Before making adjustments to, or servicing the
electrical system, disconnect the battery negative (-)
cable first.
To prevent fires or explosions keep open flame away
from the battery or cold weather starting aids. To
prevent sparks which could cause explosions use
jump cables according to instructions.
When making repairs
recommended that you consult your Massey
Ferguson Dealer, and have the work carried out by
trained personnel.
The implement and/or tractor must be supported on
suitable wooden blocks or stands. NOT a hydraulic
jack.
Check all nuts and bolts periodically for tightness,
especially wheel hub and rim nuts. Tighten to the
prescribed torque values.
Check the brakes regularly, top up the reservoir and/
or adjust where necessary. Make sure that the brakes
are evenly adjusted, especially when using a trailer.
