Inspecting the tractor

Before beginning to inspect the tractor, apply the tractor parking brake and shift to “P” (Park) while the tractor’s engine is turned on. After completing the inspection, ensure parking brakes are applied and turn off the tractor’s engine.

Inside the tractor

Inspect the following inside the tractor. • Check the air pressure and brake response by applying the foot brake for one minute. • Turn on all lights, including the emergency flashers and the low and high beam lights.
