solely by a jack. Always support the machine by
safety stands.
• Do not touch the rotating or hot parts while the engine
is running.
• Never remove the radiator cap while the engine is
running, or immediately after stopping. Otherwise, hot
water will spout out from radiator. Only remove
radiator cap when cool enough to touch with bare
hands. Slowly loosen the cap to first stop to relieve
pressure before removing completely.
• Escaping fluid (fuel or hydraulic oil) un der pressure
can penetrate the skin causing serious injury. Relieve
pressure before disconnecting hydraulic or fuel lines.
Tighten all connections before applying pressure.
AVOID FIRES
• Fuel is extremely flammable and explosive under
certain conditions. Do not smoke or allow flames or
sparks in your working area.
• To avoid sparks from an accidental short circuit,
always disconnect the battery negative cable first and

the posts.
Use a voltmeter or hydrometer.
1. Make sure each e lec trol yte lev el is to the bottom of vent wells, if
necessary add distilled water in a well-ventilated area.
2. The water in the electrolyte evaporates during recharging. Liquid
shortage damage s the battery . Excessiv e liquid s pills over a nd
damages the tractor body.
3. To slow charge the battery, connect the battery positive terminal
to the charger positive terminal and the negative to the negative,
then recharge in the standard fashion.
4. A boost ch arge is only f or emergen cies. It will par tially c harges
the battery at a high rate and in a short time.
When using a boost-charged battery, it is necessary to recharge
the battery as early as possible.
Failure to do this will shorten the battery’s service life.
5. When the specific gravity of electrolyte become betwee n 1.27
and 1.29 charge has completed.
6. When exchanging an old battery into new one, use battery of
equal specification shown in table 1.

■ Direction for Storage
1. When storing the tractor for long periods of time, remove the
battery from tractor, adjust the electrolyte to the proper level and
store in a dry place out of direct sunlight.
2. The battery self-discharges while it is stored.
Recharge it once every three months in hot se asons and once
every six months in cold seasons.
1. Remove the air cleaner cover (2) and element (1).
2. Clean the element if:
- When dry dust adheres to the element, blow compressed air
from the inside, turn ing the element. Pres su re o f c omp r ess ed
2
air must be under 205 kPa (2.1 kgf/cm
, 30 psi).
- When carbon or oil adheres to the element, soak th e element
in detergent for 15 minutes then wash it several times in water,
rinse with clean water and dry it naturally. After element is fully
dried, inspect inside of the element with a light and check if it is
damaged or not.
3. Replace the element (1) once a year or after every six ti mes of
cleaning, whichever comes first.
• The air cleaner uses a dry element, never apply oil.
• Do not run the engine with filter element removed.
• Be sure to refit the dust cup with the arrow ↑ upright. If the
dust cup is improperly fitted, evacuator valve will not
function and dust will adhere to the element.
■ Evacuator Valve
Open the evacuator valve once a week under ordinary conditions
or daily when used in a dusty place to get rid of large particles of dust
and dirt.

Checking Fuel Lines and Fuel Filter
1. The fuel line is made of rubber an d ages regardless of service
period.
2. After inspection, if the fuel line and clamps are found damaged or
deteriorated, replace them.
3. Check fuel filter, if it is clogged by debris or contaminated by
water, replace it.
• When the fuel line is disconnected for maintenance or
repair, plug both ends of the fuel line with a clean plug of
suitable size to prevent dust and dirt from entering.
Particular care must be taken not to admit dust a nd dirt into
the fuel system. Entrance of dust and dirt causes
malfunction of the fuel pump.
• If the fuel line is removed, be sure to properly bleed the fuel
system (see page G-25).

• Be sure to stop engine before checking belt tension.
1. Stop the engine and remove the key.
2. Apply moderate thumb pressure to belt between pulleys.
3. If tension is incorrect, loosen the alternator mounting bolts and
using a lever placed between the alternator and the engine block,
pull the alternator out until the deflection of the be lt falls within
acceptable limits.
4. Replace fan belt if it is damaged.
