Check |
|
Move the tractor and implement to a level, hard surface suitable for maintenance work.
|
|
|
Center the steering wheels. For articulated tractors, engage the articulation locks to prevent movement.
|
|
|
Fully lower any attachments or implements to the ground to ensure stability.
|
|
|
Turn off the engine and remove the ignition key.
|
|
|
Block both the front and rear wheels to prevent accidental movement of the machine during installation.
|
|
|
Allow the engine and hydraulic system to cool completely before working near hot components.
|
|
|
Disconnect the battery cables. Place a “Do Not Operate” tag in a visible location in the cab, and install a lockout box on the battery terminal to prevent accidental power reconnection.
|
|
|
Before opening any hydraulic, pneumatic, or coolant lines, relieve system pressure. Use caution when removing fill caps or hose fittings—cover the area with a clean rag to contain any residual pressure or fluid spray.
|
|
|
Unbox all kit components and verify the contents against the packing list. Lay out the parts on a clean, organized work surface to streamline installation.
