Checking the Wiring and
Fasteners

Inspect the tractor for any loose electrical
connections and secure them as required. Check
the wire routing to make sure moving parts do
not interfere with wires and cause a short.

Assure all fasteners are tight.

Burnishing the Clutch

The following break–in procedure must be performed
as part of predelivery service or when a new clutch is
installed.

Note:

There must be a PTO driven
attachment installed to provide a load
in order to burnish the clutch facings
properly.

1.

Run the engine at full throttle and engage the
clutch bringing the load to full speed. Then
disengage the clutch.

2.

Let the load come to a full stop, then engage
again.

3.

Repeat these procedures (1 and 2) 5 times.
