Make your tractor last longer ……………… inspect it every day
Check all fluid levels:
- Engine Oil
- Coolant
- Fuel
- Other fluids
Can you see anything leaking from under the tractors?
Are there any puddles of fluid that have come from the tractor?
Check your tyres:
- Any cuts or breaks?
- Nuts tight?
- Properly inflated?
Is the battery:
- Securely attached?
- Clean connections?
- Good electrolyte level?
Is anything coming loose on the tractor:
Parts- Nuts
- Hoses leaking
Are the steps clean of mud?
All the shields in place?
When the engine is turned on:
- Is there oil pressure in the engine?
- Do all the lights and flashers work?
Use the operator manual – it is an integral part of your machine
