Important:
1. Always operate the tractor according to the specified running-in requirements. This will prolong
the life of your tractor.
2. Prior to starting the tractor, the oil system, cooling system and electric circuits must be examined.
After startup, strict attention should be paid to the various instruments.
3. Before activating the PTO shaft, make sure that the equipment is properly inspected. When using
PTO implements, the angle between the PTO shaft and the universal joint drive shaft should be
no more than a 15° angle; the hydraulic operating control should be neutral, and after the farm
tool has been lifted, the included angle between the power take-off shaft and the universal joint
drive shaft should be at no more than 20° angle. Never use the implement without checking for a
proper connection with the power take-off. This can cause damage to the implement and severe
damage to the tractor clutch and power train. To increase work efficiency, the power supply
should never be shut off at the curve and the lifting height must be maintain at 200mm above the
ground.
4. Hanging farm implements can shift tractor weight and should be low to the ground before
exiting the tractor.
5. Antifreeze should always be used in the cooling system.
6. The front driving axle of tractor should only be engaged in agricultural instances and when roads
are muddy. Overuse of the front drive axle may result in premature wear of the tires and
transmission problems.
7. Only use parts recommended by the manufacturer to replace worn or broken components.
8.
Never rest your foot on the brake or clutch pedal when the tractor is in motion as this can cause
premature wear of the brakes and clutch system.
