There are many different types of tractors on the market with a wide variety of applications and associated accessories. To be sure you properly maintain your specific make and model of tractor, you should read through the manual that came with it.  Many tractors require specific types of lubricants and hydraulic fluids that you can identify in the manual. Using the wrong kind could damage your tractor. If you do not have a manual for your tractor, you may be able to find the information on the manufacturer's website. Before you get started with any planned maintenance on your tractor, give the whole thing a good once over to see if anything looks overly worn, broken, or dirty. Many newer model tractors even have plastic windows on fluid reservoirs to check things like hydraulic fluid levels.  Give your tractor a visual inspection before and after each use. Make note of any issues you identify to make sure you address them before the next time you use the tractor. Use a tire pressure gauge on each tire and compare it to the tire’s pressure rating written on the sidewall. Tractor tires can last years, but operating a tractor with under-inflated tires can ruin the sidewall and cause the tires to wear faster than they should. Under-inflated tires will also cause the tractor to burn more fuel in normal operations.  You may want to adjust tire pressure for different types of jobs. For instance, if you plan on driving your tractor on the road, you might want to add a few more pounds of air. Reducing tire pressure on slick surfaces like mud can help increase traction. Tires lose pressure more quickly when temperatures change from cold to hot, so you may want to check your tire pressure more frequently in the spring and fall. Some tractors may not be equipped with any lights at all, while others could have an extensive lighting system that includes turn signals and interior lighting. Check each of the lights after each use of the tractor so you can address any electrical issues as they arise.  If a light fails to work, it may be a blown out bulb or fuse that needs to be replaced. If neither of those solve the problem, your tractor may need to be serviced by a technician. Check your owner’s manual to find the correct type of bulb or fuse needed to fix a bad light. Just like in a car, a tractor’s engine relies on a number of rubber hoses and usually at least one belt. Look all of the rubber components over for signs of wear or damage. Excessively worn rubber components should all be replaced.  Look for glazing on the sides and bottom of any belts that may indicate that it’s been slipping. Any rubber that has cracked should be replaced. Depending on the environment you use your tractor in, you may need to change your air filter more or less frequently. Locate the air filter using the tractor’s user manual, then visually inspect it. If it’s really dirty, it should be replaced.  There’s no real rule of thumb with air filters; they should just be replaced as they appear dirty. You should check your air filter after 8 hours of use or so. You need specialized tools to check your tractor’s hydraulic system. If you have the correct coupler fitting and a pressure gauge, you can connect it to any of the black ports on the hydraulic system while it’s running, and compare that figure to the correct specifications outlined in the manual. If you don’t have the correct tools, it’s recommended that you have your hydraulic system serviced by a professional after every 500 hours of use.

One-sentence summary -- Familiarize yourself with your tractor’s manual. Give the tractor a visual inspection. Do a tire pressure check. Test the lights. Inspect the belts and hoses. Replace the air filter as needed. Test the hydraulic system.

Q: Each Waterpik unit comes with an instruction manual. If you lose it, you can download another copy on the Waterpik website. The Waterpik is an elaborate device with several parts that can break and require replacement. The Waterpik website includes a section where tips, accessories and replacement parts are available for sale separate from the main units. You should replace the tips every three to six months. A common issue is that the device sometimes loses water pressure. You can attempt to fix this issue before having to replace the device.  Ensure the black valve in the reservoir tank is inserted with the dome side facing up and the four-pronged side facing down. Fill the reservoir at least half full to support pressure. Confirm that the unit is plugged into a fully functioning electrical outlet. Regularly clean the unit by adding a few teaspoons of vinegar or chlorhexidine mouthwash to a full reservoir of warm water. Then drain the reservoir through the handle into the sink until it is empty. A reservoir leak is another common issue. You can attempt to fix this issue before having to replace the device.  Remove the black rubber valve from the water tank by pushing it out from the bottom. Run the valve under warm water and massage with your fingers. Return the valve to the tank. Ensure the dome side is facing up and the four-prong side is showing on the bottom.
A: Use the instruction manual. Buy replacement parts. Fix a drop in water pressure. Fix a leaking reservoir.

Article: In the case of thoroughbred names, spaces and punctuation marks count as letters so you will old be able to have a total of 18 characters. For example, ThereAndBackAgain! is an acceptable name because it has 18 characters, but There And Back Again! is not because it has 21 characters (including spaces). While this might seem obvious, what might not be vulgar or offensive to you might be offensive to someone else. Double check that the name you pick out does not have any bad connotations that are offensive to religious, political, or ethnic groups, or that are vulgar in anyway. For example, The Great Farter might be a funny name to you, but could be found vulgar by others, or might be taken as an offensive dig at God. Thoroughbred racehorses are not allowed to have names that are all initials; they cannot have names that are clearly promoting a commercial or artistic cause; and they cannot be named after a living person unless there is a written confirmation from that person saying it is okay. Any horse that has won a major race will have his or her name permanently retired. However, other names of horses that have not won major races can be recycled. For example, you cannot name your racehorse Seabiscuit, though you could potentially try naming your horse Seabisquick or some other play off of a famous horse’s name. If you want your racehorse to be a star, you’ll need a name that fans (and gamblers) can get behind. For this reason, it may be better to pick out a shorter name, though catchy names aren’t bad either. There’s something very charming about chanting the name Ruffian (which is probably why Ruffian is racing’s greatest filly). The Jockey Club, which is the organization charged with recording and approving the names of racehorses, may require you to explain the name if its not very clear. For example, the 1977 Triple Crown winner, Seattle Slew, was named after the owners’ hometowns--Seattle, and the word for a swamp which in Florida is called a ‘slew’.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Do not pick a name that exceeds 18 letters. Avoid names that may be considered vulgar and offensive. Know what other categories of names should be avoided. Do not consider naming your horse after historic victors. Come up with a name that sounds good when yelled by hundreds of adoring fans. Be prepared to offer an explanation of your horse’s name if its not super apparent.
