Check the Cooling System. Remove the radiator cap and check the level of the coolant If the level is below 5cm firm the neck of the radiator refill the radiators to about 5cm of the radiator neck. Check for leaks about radiator, radiator hoses and hose clamps Remove trash collected on front of radiator screen Check the crankcase oil level Check oil level position- don t check the oil level while the tractors is running. Add oil it needed: it is extremely important that you use a clean container and clean oil if you want the tractors to continue to give good service. Check the Battery Check to see the cables use firmly connected to the terminate Check the electrolyte level of each cell-add distilled water if necessary. Check for corrosion on the battery terminals: clean if necessary. Check the hold down clap, clamp firm it lose.
Check the Tyres: Check the tyres for the right pressure recommended by the manufacturers. Check side walls for cuts or breaks Check treads for nails, stones etc. Check fuel level: Add if necessary Check the fuel system Check hose for leaks For diesel fuel system, check for drain cock on: Bottom of fuel tank Bottom of first fitter Top of sediment bowl. Open and drain about 1 pint of fuel to make certain that water and sediment are removed. Lubricant with grease is not daily job but carry it out as regularly as recommended by the manufacturer. Make sure your cloths are free from tears bulging pockets, flayed edges and heavy cutts. Also wear shoes with heels and tight soles. Check miscellaneous items: water for loose nuts bents brachets that need straightening worm parts that need replacing, loose or worn fan belts loose wheel etc. starting a Diesel type engine: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.
IMPLEMENT MAINTANANCE The tractor driver is responsible for opening implements or machine which he used with or tractor. All implements or machines titled with grease implies regaire grease twice daily or every 5hrs. The oil level in gear boxes of P.T.O or pulley drives replacement or machine should be checked twice daily. All nuts and bolts should be checks for tightens twice daily. All tyre pressure should be checked daily Adjustment of rubber belts or P.T.O drivers implements should be checked daily. The hoses and nozzles of sprayer must be checked frequently when in use for leaks or blockages. The coupling and adjustment of 3 pt linkages 1. Leveling aim 2. Lift aim 3. Check chain 4. Draft control level: soil engaging implement 5. Position control level: for min engagement implement.
Materials used in manufacturing products Materials used in manufacturing products METALS Ferrous metals Non-ferrous metal WOOD (TIMBER) Soft woods Hard woods PLASTICS Thermosetting plastics Thermo Metals Ferrous metals contain iron as the main constituent. Such metals are pig iron, cast iron, wrought iron, steel e.t.c. -Pig iron (crude form of iron) is used as a raw material for the production of various other ferrous metals (such as cast iron, wrought iron and steel). It is obtained by melting iron ores in a blast furnace at a temperature of 1500C. Non ferrous metals contain metal other than iron as the main constituent e. g aluminium, copper, zinc, lead, brass, tin
