A Guide To Daily Maintenance Of Compact Tractors

When it comes to maintenance of compact tractors, many things get ignored which swell up your expenses at servicing. What’s even worse is a situation where lack of maintenance and proper servicing results in the breakdown of even the best compact tractors. However, with Solis’s affordable tractors have simple mechanics which makes their daily maintenance easier and hassle-free. While the rest of the compact tractors feature a myriad of unnecessary sensors which make onsite maintenance impossible, Solis keeps the mechanics of its machines easier to avoid unnecessary trips to the service station. Here are a few tasks you can do to keep your compact tractor best in shape.

 

Engine Oil Inspection

It is highly recommended that engine oil should be changed after the first 50 hours.  To inspect the engine oil, begin with parking your compact tractor on a levelled ground, and allow the engine to cool. Then, take out the DIPSTICK, wipe it with a rag, and dip it back in. You should ensure that that oil level is within the upper and lower mark.  Adjust the level of oil as per the indication on the DIPSTICK.

 

Cleaning the Radiator and Intercooler

A compact tractor requires a periodic check and cleaning of the radiator and intercooler fins to make sure that they are not clogged. Use a jet of compressed air, and direct it from inside towards outside to clean the radiator. For best results, use a steam cleaver as it softens up the dirt. Post the cleaning process use a torchlight to inspect the engine compartment of your compact tractor for any remaining dust particles. Even the best compact tractors require frequent daily maintenance of radiator and intercooler for efficient functioning.

 

Battery Maintenance

Solis compact tractors are equipped with a maintenance-free battery. But it is recommended that you check the battery at least twice each year with a gap of 6 months. You should check the electrolyte level of your battery, and use distilled water for refilling of the battery. Never use acid. Also, you should check whether the terminals of the battery are clean and tight, or not. Compact tractors are used for heavy-duty tasks which may cause cases such as loosening of the terminal connections. Solis’s affordable tractors are equipped with best in class battery which will last for decades.

 

Cleaning the Cooling System

Cleaning the cooling system of Solis compact tractors is a relatively easy task. Most affordable tractors break down because of cooling system breakdown. Begin with removing the filler cap from the expansion reservoir to make the draining of coolant easier. Then, place a vessel under the radiator cap, and drain out the coolant through the radiator plug by removing its cap. Next, shut off the drain plugs and fill up the cooling system with coolant till it reaches the level of 20-25 mm below the filler plug. Now, remove the fill plug and allow your engine to run on its own for a couple of minutes, and the servicing your coolant system is over.  Even the best compact tractor is prone to a breakdown if the cooling system doesn’t get frequent servicing.

Most compact tractors come with a complex set of systems which won’t allow the user daily maintenance, forcing him/her to seek services from a service station. Equipped with unnecessary and complex sensors and systems which do little to increase the efficiency of a tractor, and only make it impossible to repair onsite. To avoid such nuisance, SOLIS has specially crafted its tractors with simple mechanical systems which can be easily repaired and maintained by the user only. Members of team SOLIS provide a thorough guide of its affordable tractors upon deliver. They demonstrate the use and maintenance of all the mechanics so that easy repair can be made by you anytime.
