8. OPERATING THE TRACTOR
Ex2900 / 3200 Operator's Manual
The service life of the tractor is governed by how adequately it is handled
and maintained.
Of course, any newly manufactured tractor has been tested; however,
various parts must be broken in. Therefore, operate the tractor at low
speeds for the first 50 operating hours, and avoid heavy work or operation
before the various parts have been sufficiently run. The manner the tractor
is operated in during the breaking-in period greatly affects the effective life
of the tractor. Therefore, to develop maximum design performance and
attain the longest life of the tractor, the tractor needs to be correctly broken
in. Handle the new tractor, strictly observing the following instructions.
1. Do not run the tractor at full speed during the first 50
operating hours period
●NEVER suddenly start or brake.
●In cold weather, ALWAYS fully warm up the engine. After warm-up, start
operation of the tractor.
●NEVER run the engine at a speed higher than needed.
●On rough roads or terrains, slow the tractor down as necessary. Do not
run the tractor at a high speed.
The above-mentioned precautions apply not only to newly manufactured
tractors but also to tractors that have been actively used. Nevertheless, we
recommend that newly manufactured tractors be operated by strictly
observing these instructions / recommendations.
2. Changing the lubricating oil for the new tractor
The quality of the lubricating oil in any new tractors is very important.
Various parts on a new tractor have not been fully broken in, and are not
fully fitted with each other. As a result, small metal shavings may occur
while the new tractor is operated, and may lead to premature wear or
damage of the associated parts or components. Therefore, Cub Cadet
Yanmar recommends that the lubricating oil be changed earlier than in the
ordinary oil change schedule.
For the recommended oil change schedule, refer to the “13. MAINTENANCE”.
