- Hydraulic System: Inspect hydraulic fluid levels regularly and change the hydraulic fluid and filter every 500 hours. Use only recommended hydraulic fluid to prevent damage to the hydraulic components.
- Fuel System: Use clean, high-quality diesel fuel and check the fuel filter regularly. Replace the fuel filter every 250 hours to prevent contaminants from clogging the fuel system. Bleed the fuel system if the tractor runs out of fuel or after replacing the fuel filter.
- Seasonal Storage: Before storing the tractor for an extended period, fill the fuel tank to prevent condensation, add a fuel stabilizer, change the engine oil and filter, lubricate all grease fittings, and disconnect the battery. Store the tractor in a dry location.
