Maintenance Tips
- Engine Oil and Filter: Change engine oil and filter every 250-300 hours using the recommended oil type and a genuine or high-quality replacement filter. Regular oil changes prevent wear and tear on the engine's internal components.
- Hydraulic System Maintenance: Inspect hydraulic fluid levels regularly and change the hydraulic filter every 500 hours. Use only approved hydraulic fluid to maintain proper system performance and prevent damage to hydraulic components.
- Fuel System Care: Use clean, high-quality diesel fuel and replace the fuel filter at least once a year, or more frequently if operating in dusty conditions. This prevents fuel contamination and ensures optimal engine performance.
- Seasonal Storage: Before storing the tractor for an extended period, stabilize the fuel, drain the fuel bowl, grease all fittings, and disconnect the battery. This prevents fuel degradation, corrosion, and battery drain during storage.
