1. Avoid exposing the battery to direct sunlight. Excessive electrolyte temperature can easily cause warping and deformation, leading to the shedding of active materials and damage to wooden separators. Therefore, avoid exposing the battery to direct sunlight.

2. Use suitable lubricating oil. In southern regions, No. 14 diesel engine oil can generally be used in summer to ensure sufficient viscosity and reduce wear on machine parts.

3. Change the position of the lubricating oil radiator reversing valve in a timely manner. When operating in summer, the reversing valve should be turned to the position that opens the oil passage to the radiator, allowing the lubricating oil to dissipate heat and maintain its normal temperature.

4. Add soft water to the water tank. In summer, the tractor heats up quickly, and the water tank is prone to boiling over, making it easier for scale to form. Soft water should be added promptly.

5. If the water tank boils over, do not immediately add cold water. Run the tractor at low speed and low throttle for a period of time until the water temperature drops before adding cold water to prevent engine parts from cracking due to concentrated stress.

VI. When using a threshing or milling machine, a layer of wire mesh or nylon gauze should be wrapped around the radiator and the water tank opening to prevent dirt from entering the water tank core and pipes, affecting heat dissipation. Additionally, a fire extinguisher cover should be installed on the exhaust pipe to prevent sparks from igniting a fire.

VII. When the tractor is operating continuously for extended periods, it should be stopped periodically to check the tire temperature, water temperature, oil temperature, and engine temperature. Operation should only resume after the temperature has cooled down.

VIII. Pay attention to tire inflation pressure; it must be maintained within the specified range or 2-3% below the standard pressure.

IX. Do not leave the tractor parked in direct sunlight for extended periods to prevent tire overheating and potential explosion.
