Running-In Procedure; Pre-Operation Checks; Pressure Washing The Tractor - New Holland T6010 Operator's Manual

RUNNING- -IN PROCEDURE
Your new tractor will provide long and dependable
service if given proper care during the 50 hour
running--in period and
recommended intervals.
Avoid overloading the engine. Operating in too high
a gear under heavy load may cause excessive
engine overloading. Overloading occurs when the
engine will not respond to a throttle increase.
Do not operate without a load on the engine. This can
be as harmful to the engine as overloading. Vary the
type of operation undertaken so that the engine is
subjected to heavy as well as light loads during the
running--in period.
Use the lower gear ratios when pulling heavy loads
and avoid continuous operation at constant engine
speeds. Operating the tractor in too low a gear with
a light load and high engine speed will waste fuel. You
will save fuel and minimise engine wear by selecting
the correct gear ratio for each particular operation.
Check the instruments and warning lights frequently
and keep the radiator and various oil reservoirs filled
to the recommended levels.

items:
Fan belt for cracks
•
Engine area for accumulation of debris
•
Hoses, lines and fittings for leaks or damage.
•
Tyres for damage

PRESSURE WASHING THE TRACTOR

Your tractor is equipped with a number of electronic
control units (ECU's) that are linked to various
sensors throughout the vehicle. The ECU's control,
monitor, and provide information relating to engine,
transmission, P.T.O. and hydraulic functions.
It is very important therefore, when cleaning the
tractor body or chassis with a high pressure water jet,
that care should be taken not to aim the water jet
directly at any electrical component, wiring harness
or connector.
