10. DRAINING AIR FROM FUEL TANK

Drain the air from the fuel tank, fuel filte r, and fuel filter
element when the engine stops as the fuel runs ou t or
during maintenance．
(1) Refill fuel to fuel tank．
(2) Put the fuel filter valve to “OPEN.”
(3) Put the acceleration lever to MAX and the key switch

to START to run the starting motor for about 10
seconds. That completes the procedure.

[Note】
If air is not removed, then there will be air in
the fuel lines.
Please check fuel lines for leakage or
breakage.

13. ELECTRICAL CABLES

• Before starting to work everyday,
check if any cable is in contact with
other parts, or if any insulation is
peeled off or damaged, or any
contact is loosened．

• Before and after work, remove any
straw or dust on the battery or
cables.

Inspect cables and wire connectors for any loose of damage

【Otherwise】
There is a risk of fire due to short circuit.

Open the side covers of the engine and check if any cable is in contact with other parts, or if any insulation
is peeled off or damaged, or any contact is loosened．
Damaged cables must be repaired by an authorized dealer.

Arrange for periodic maintenance for cables

every 50 hours or once a year even thought the cables are not damaged.

14. GREASING

Apply grease every 50 hours．Check the relevant parts before
starting work everyday and add grease as necessary. After working
on a watered farm, make sure to apply grease to the tractor.

15. CLUTCH

Adjust clutch pedal as follow．

1. Stop the engine and remove the key

2. Slightly depress the clutch pedal and measure free

play at top of pedal stroke.

3. If adjustment is needed, loosen the lock nut and

turn the clutch rod to adjust the rod length
within acceptable limits.

4. Retighten the lock nut.

5. After adjusting, release the clutch pedal and

check the clearance with bolts if adjustment is
needed. (0.34in)

(Clutch pedal free play : 0.8~1.19 in.)

16. STEERING WHEEL

Check if the steering wheel vibrates
severely or has no free play.
Otherwise, there is a risk of accident.

When the steering wheel is turned lightly, there should be free play 0.8
~ 2.0 in. If the extent of the free play e xceeds this range, the steering
wheel may feel heavy or the tractor may no t move straight. If the free
play is not normal, have it fixed at your nearest au thoriz ed de aler.

- 78 -

17. BRAKE

Check the brakes to avoid one-sided
braking. Otherwise, there is a risk of
accident.
If the extent of free play different
between the two brake pedals, one­sided braking will occur. Make sure
that the free play of both brake
pedals is the same.

※ In this case, the free play of the brake pedal is

1.1~1.5 in [30~40mm]．
※ Adjust both of the brake pedals

(Brake Rod (R) )

(Brake Rod (L) )

18. FAN BELT

Carry out inspection or
maintenance after the engine
is fully cooled down．

【Otherwise】
There is a risk of getting burnt．

Open the engine hood and side covers and press the middle of fan
belt with finger to see if the belt sags about 0.4 ~ 0.6in(A) or if
there is any damage to the belt. If the sagging is not correct,
loosen the generator bolts(1) and move the ge nerator(B) to adjust
the tension of the fan belt. If the fan belt still slips after the
generator is moved to the maximum, replace the belt with a new
one. New belts must be inspected after 50 hours of running.

19. TIRES

Adjust air pressure in front and rear tires to standard pressure.
Also, check if there are any cracks on the tires.
When front wheels are put under a load of the front weights or a front loade r, air pressure in the front
wheels must be adjusted to the maximu m in the chart as followed.

20. COLOR OF EXHAUST GAS

The exhaust gas may be a little black at the time of starting the engine, but normally its color is clear.
Black – incomplete combustion due to too much fuel intake.
White – misfiring or cold temperature.
Blue – burning of engine oil

If the color of the exhaust gas remains black or white during operation, have the tractor inspected at your
nearest authorized dealer.

21. FUSE & FUSEABLE LINKS

When replacing the fuse,
use only the one of the
same capacity.

Open the fuse box cover and check the fuses. Replace any
burnt-out fuses with new ones of required capacity. Stop the
engine and check the main fuses (Fusible link).
A fuse link is a type of fuse, which burns and disconnects the
current in the event of excessive current flowing in the circuit.
Its plastic coating is discolored when it is cut off, in which case
it should be inspected at the authorized dealer.

- 81 -

22. TOE-IN

If the toe-in is not properly aligned, the steering
wheel may be uncontrollable or the tractor may
produce an abnormal vibration. Measure the
distance A and B of the front wheels and see if the
different between the two measurements is 0.15 ~

0.3 in.(4~8mm) If not, loosen nuts at the end of the
cylinder rod on both sides and adjust the length of
the screws. Tighten the nuts when the toe-in is

0.15 ~ 0.3 in.(4~8mm)
