FUEL SAVING TIPS
To save fuel & oil in your tractor, the following things should always be kept in mind. A) Air cleaning system 1) Clean the air cleaner regularly so that dust does not settle down. 2) For every 50 hours & everyday in sandy/dusty conditions. (a) Clean the air cleaner filter element with compressed air. (b) If the rubber ring is cut or expanded then change it with an appropriate one. Fix the rubber at the proper location & check for leakages if any. (c) If air is leaking through the hose connection, check & rectify other leakages, too. Note: If air cleaning system is not properly maintained, it will lead to early wear of piston rings & sleeves. This will lead to problems like loss of engine power, excessive oil consumption and/or fuel consumption. B) Engine 1)) Put the engine g oil on load after the engine g is heated & the water temperature p gauge g g indicates the needle to be in the green zone. 2) If excessive black smoke is visible, then the paper element of air cleaner, fuel injection pump or nozzles should be checked. 3) Do not run the engine without load for more than 2 minutes. It is better to stop the engine rather than run it idle. This will help fuel. C) Clutch & Brakes. 1) Do not reduce the power of the engine by depressing the clutch halfway. halfway Instead use low gear. 2) If the tractor has to be stopped for a long period of time, it is advisable to bring the transmission to the neutral position & release the clutch pedal. 3) Do not over ride the clutch & brake pedals. 4) While coming down from a slope, reduce the engine throttle & use low gear. Do not depend only on the brakes for stoppage.
