TRACTOR PREPARING FOR OPERATION

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
When putting a new tractor into operation
proceed as follows:
• clean the tractor;
• take the protective poly-chlorine vinyl
covers off;
• attentively inspect the tractor, check its
completeness, remove storage batteries,
bring them into operation and replace into
the same position;
• install the drain cocks of the radiator
and diesel cylinders' block which are en-

forward the tractor movement. Then in-

8...12 mm from the muffler socket flank.
Clamp nuts are to be tightened with tor-
que of 44...56 N·m;
• check oil level in the engine crankcase,
transmission, front driving axle housing
and final drive reducers, in the oil tanks of
