Delivery Instructions

Prior to delivery, do the following checks, clean tractor and review this manual with the owner/operator. Make sure owner/operator can safely operate every function of this machine.

Check Tire Pressure

c CAUTION: Avoid injury! Explosive separation of tire and rim parts is possible when they are serviced incorrectly: · Do not inflate the tires above the recommended pressure. · Do not stand in front or over the tire assembly when inflating. Use a clip-on chuck and extension hose long enough to allow you to stand to one side.

1. Check tires for damage.

2. Check tire pressure with an accurate gauge.

3. Add or remove air, if necessary.

Check Fluid Levels

Check Radiator Coolant Level

· With engine cold, coolant level should be at the LOW line on the coolant overflow tank. Add coolant as necessary.

Check Engine Oil Level

· Oil level should be in between the ADD and FULL marks on dipstick. Add oil as necessary.

Check Transmission Oil Level

· Transmission oil level should be maintained to the mid-level range on the sight glass. Add oil as necessary.

Check Front Axle Oil Level:

· Front axle oil level should be to the top of the XX area of the front axle dipstick. Add oil as necessary.

Check Battery

c CAUTION: Avoid injury! Keep sparks, lighted matches, and open flame away from the top of battery. Battery gas can explode. Never check battery charge by placing a metal object across the posts. Use a volt-meter or hydrometer. Do not charge a frozen battery; it may explode. Warm battery to 16 degrees C (60 degrees F).

NOTE: For additional battery information see the Service Electrical section of this manual.

If starting motor turns over quickly, then battery is charged. If engine will not turn over and headlights are dim or will not turn on, charge the battery.

Charge the battery for a minimum of 30 minutes at 5 - 10 amps. If your battery charger has a deep cycle or maintenance free setting, use this setting to charge the battery.

Check Machine Safety System

Perform all safety system tests to make sure the electronic safety interlock circuit is functioning properly.

Check All Lights

Make sure the headlights, taillights, warning lights, and any optional work lights are functional.

Check Wheel Bolt Torque

Check all wheel bolts for proper torque.

Check Tractor For Proper Ballast

If tractor is being delivered with an attachment, make sure attachment is properly installed and tractor has proper ballast. See attachment operator's manual.
