Tractor and Implement Safety

The tractor is a source of power - Mechanical and Hydraulic.
On its own, the tractor is of little practical value. Only when used in
conjunction with an implement or other attachment does it become a
working unit.
This instruction book is compiled to cover those safe working practices
that are associated with the base tractor operation.
It does not cover all operation and safety instructions relevant to all known
implements and attachments that may be fitted at the time of tractor
delivery or at some future date.
It is essential that operators use and understand the relevant instruction
manual of such implements and attachments.

Introduction to Safety
This safety section of your Operator Instruction Book is intended to point
out some of the basic safety situations which may be encountered during
the normal operation and maintenance of your FOOTSTEP (ROPS) or
CAB tractor, and to suggest possible ways of dealing with these situations.
This section is NOT a replacement for other safety practices featured in
other sections of this book.
Additional precautions may be necessary, depending on attachments
used and conditions at the work site or in the service area. The tractor
maker has no direct control over tractor application, operation, inspection,
lubrication, or maintenance. Therefore it is YOUR responsibility to use
good safety practices in these areas.
Safety
The safety of the operator is one of the main concerns in designing and
developing a new tractor. Designers incorporate as many safety features
as is possible in constructing our tractors. However, every year many
accidents occur which could have been avoided by a few seconds thought
and a more careful approach to handling farm machinery and implements.
Read and practice the safety instructions detailed in the next pages of this
book.
A Word to the Operator

It is YOUR responsibility to read and understand the safety section in this
book before operating your tractor.
You must follow these safety instructions that take you step by step

Remember that YOU are the key to safety. Good safety practices not only
protect you, but also the people around you. Study the features in this
manual and make them a working part of your safety programme. Keep in
mind that this safety section is written only for this type of machine.
Practice all other usual and customary safe working precautions, and
above all - REMEMBER –SAFETY IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY. YOU
CAN PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
Use only SAME DEUTZ-FAHR approved attachments and equipment.

XV

Follow a Safety Programme

For Safe Operation
For safe operation of an agricultural tractor, you must be a qualified and
authorized operator. To be qualified you must understand the written
instructions supplied in this Operator Instruction Book, have training, and
know the safety rules and regulations for the job.
Some regulations specify that no one under the age of 16 years, for
example, may operate power machinery. This includes tractors. It is your
responsibility to know what these regulations are, and obey them, in the
operating area or situation.
These will include, but are not limited to, the following instructions for safe
tractor operation.
WARNING: AN OPERATOR SHOULD NOT USE ALCOHOL OR

DRUGS WHICH CAN AFFECT HIS ALERTNESS OR CO-ORDINATION.
AN OPERATOR ON PRESCRIPTION OR ‘OVER THE COUNTER’
DRUGS NEEDS MEDICAL ADVICE ON WHETHER OR NOT HE OR
SHE CAN SAFELY OPERATE MACHINES.
General safety rules
– DO NOT allow children or

unqualified persons to
operate your tractor. Keep
others away from your area
of work.
– Securely fasten your seat

belt when the tractor has a
ROPS (Roll Over Protective
Structure) frame in the
upright position or is fitted
with a cab.
– Before starting the engine,

check that all the tractor
controls are in neutral
position. This is to prevent
accidental movement of the
vehicle or the starting of
tractor-driven implements.
– ONLY operate the controls

when seated in the driver’s
seat.
XVI

– Always use the seat belt.

When used correctly, it can
help you drive in safety.
Ensure the belt is worn
without slack or twists, and
that is not caught on objects
near the seat or trapped
under the seat support.
– Before leaving the driving

position, remember to lower the 3-point linkage and/or any implement
mounted on the tractor, to put all controls in neutral, to apply the
handbrake, to switch off the engine, to remove the key from the
ignition switch and to turn the battery earth switch to “off” (where
present).
– Where possible, avoid operating the tractor near ditches,

embankments and holes. Reduce speed when turning, crossing
slopes, and on rough, slippery, or muddy surfaces.
– Stay off slopes too steep for safe operation.
– Watch where you are going, especially at row ends, on roads, and
around trees.
– DO NOT permit others to ride on the tractor or the implement unless

an approved passenger seat and seat belt is fitted.
– Hitch only to the drawbar and hitch points recommended, and never
above the centre line of the rear axle.
– Operate the tractor smoothly - no jerky turns, starts or stops. When the
tractor is stopped, apply the parking brake securely. Lower the
implement and remove the key.
– DO NOT modify or remove any part of the equipment and DO NOT

use attachments unless they are properly matched to your tractor.
– For safety reasons, avoid very steep slopes. Change down through
the gears on both uphill and downhill slopes, especially with heavy
loads. NEVER allow the tractor to freewheel with the clutch
disengaged or the gearbox in neutral.
XVII

– ALWAYS travel at a speed that allows full control and stability of the
tractor. Avoid working near embankments and ditches. Reduce
speed when turning or driving on steep gradients, and when travelling
over ground that is loose, slippy or covered in mud.
– DO NOT travel on the road or at high speed with the differential lock
engaged, as this could cause steering problems and thus lead to
accidents.
– Before starting the tractor or PTO driven implements, ALWAYS check

that no-one is within the tractor/implement operating area.
– Only attach to the 3-point linkage those implements specifically

designed for the purpose. Do not use the 3-point linkage as a towing
hook. For towing, use the rear towing hitch only (the front hook is for
use in emergencies only).
– ALWAYS check that the weight of the towed vehicle or trailer is less
than the weight of the tractor (unless equipped with independent
braking). Braking distance will increase with speed and the weight
towed, particularly on downhill slopes.
– Lock the oscillating towing hitch in a fixed position and use the safety
locks when travelling on the public highway. Display load warning
signs when necessary and in accordance with the applicable
regulations. It is the responsibility of the operator to know and comply
with the requirements of the highway code.
– Use emergency lights when travelling on the public highway, both in

daytime and at night.Use direction indicators before any turning
manoeuvre.Ensure that all the lights on the tractor are kept clean.
– Use the bolt provided to lock the two brake pedals together when
travelling on the road. This is to ensure more uniform and more
effective braking.
– All machinery driven by the PTO is a potential cause of serious and

even fatal injury. Ensure that the PTO and drive shaft guards are
always in place. Before starting any work in the vicinity of the PTO
shaft, and before servicing/cleaning PTO-driven implements, put the
PTO control in the disengaged position, stop the tractor engine and
wait until all the moving parts of the implement have come to a
complete standstill.
XVIII

– Alighting from the driving position when the engine is running,

although permitted in emergencies, creates a hazardous situation for
which additional precautions must be taken as regards the tractor and
any implements connected to it. In any case, before leaving the
driving position, make sure that all the safety devices are in place, that
no-one is in the vicinity of the tractor, that the tractor is parked on a
level surface, that the handbrake is applied and that all the drive
control levers are in neutral position. While alighting from the tractor,
keep well clear of any
moving parts.
– NEVER operate the tractor

inside a building with the
doors closed. It is essential
to ensure that the area is
sufficiently ventilated.
– Fluids under pressure can

cause severe injury.
NEVER use your hands to
trace an oil or fuel leak. Use
instead a piece of wood or
cardboard for this purpose.
Before disconnecting any
part of a normally
pressurised circuit, always
make sure that the circuit is
fully depressurised. If
engine oil, hydraulic fluid or
any fluid from a pressurised
circuit penetrates your skin,
seek medical assistance
IMMEDIATELY.
– DO NOT use explosive

ether based products to facilitate cold starting. Follow the instructions
given in this manual in the section “Cold starting”.
– Incorrect connection of the battery terminals or between the battery

and a battery charger could damage the electrical system or even
cause the battery to explode. NEVER connect the battery terminals
together. The acid electrolyte contained in the battery is highly
corrosive and can cause burns or even blindness if it enters the eyes.
When filling/topping up a battery with electrolyte, NEVER smoke or
allow a naked flame in the vicinity and always wear safety goggles.
XIX

– DO NOT use elastic

materials to pull the tractor,
as a sudden release of
energy stored in the
material could cause a fatal
accident.
– NEVER attempt to weld or

repair a wheel or wheel rim
when fitted with an inflated
tyre.
– A runaway tractor can

cause serious or fatal injury.
Only start the engine when
seated in the driving
position and after checking
that all the drive controls are
in neutral. NEVER start the
engine from the ground or
by bypassing the electrical
safety system. If the starter
motor fails to operate when
all the controls are in neutral
position, contact your
nearest Assistance Service
centre.
– NEVER refuel the tractor

when the engine is running
or even hot. DO NOT smoke
when refueling. DO NOT fill
the fuel tank right to the
brim, but leave a little space
to allow for expansion of the
fuel. Refuel in a safe place,
away from naked flames or
sparks.
– NEVER allow anyone to

stand between the tractor
and the implement during
hitching operations.
– NEVER wear headphones

or earphones to listen to the radio or music while driving. This reduces
your ability to concentrate and to hear sounds essential to safe
driving.
XX

– Avoid contact with pesticides. Tractor cabs, when fitted, do NOT

protect you against inhaling dangerous pesticides. Meticulously
follow the manufacturer’s instructions for using and handling
pesticides. Always wear the required personal protective equipment
(respirator, face mask, etc.) even in the cab.
– Certain tractor models are

equipped with speed
measurement radar. Even
though these radar systems
emit only low intensity radio
waves, NEVER look directly RA
DA
at the device when it is R
operating.
– Periodically check the

wheel nuts and tighten them to the specified torque. (See the
Maintenance section for wheel nut torque values).
– The best way to transport a tractor that has broken down is to tow it
away on a flat bed truck. Always secure the tractor to the truck with
chains before driving off. If you must tow a tractor, do not exceed 10
km/h, and always have an operator at the tractor’s controls to steer
and brake as necessary. If necessary, ask your dealer if the model of
tractor you have can be towed or not.
– Do not weld or heat any painted parts. Toxic fumes could be given off.
Remove paint by abrasion first, before heating the part. Always
perform these operations in a well ventilated area.
– Keep heat well away from

pipes and hoses containing
pressurised fluids. Heating
pressurised pipes and
hoses can cause
inflammable fluids to spray
out and cause serious burns
to you and others nearby.
XXI

Protective Structures
Roll Over Protective Structures
A Roll Over Protective Structure (ROPS) and seat belt is fitted as standard
equipment to the footstep tractor at the time of factory assembly. If the
ROPS was removed by the original purchaser or has been removed, it is
recommended that you equip your tractor with a Roll Over Protective
Structure and a seat belt. ROPS are effective in reducing injuries during
overturn accidents.
Overturning a tractor without

ROPS can result in serious
injury or death.
If a fold down ROPS is installed
DO NOT wear seat belt when
the ROPS is in the folded down
position.
Operation
– Before using the tractor ensure that the ROPS frame is not damaged,
that it is securely fastened to the tractor and if a hinged section is fitted
that it is in the raised position and secured.
– If the ROPS has been removed from the tractor, or folded down for a
specific operation, it must be refitted or erected immediately
afterwards using the proper hardware and applying the
recommended torque values.
– DO NOT attach chains, ropes, or cables to the ROPS for pulling

purposes; this will cause the tractor to tip backwards. Always pull from
the tractor drawbar.
– Always wear your seat belt - adjusted snugly except when operating
with a folded down ROPS.
– Check the seat belt for damage. A damaged seat belt must be
replaced.
XXII

Damage to the ROPS

If the tractor has rolled over or the ROPS has been damaged (such as
striking an overhead object during transport), the ROPS must be replaced
to provide the original degree of protection.
After an accident, check for damage to the ROPS, operator’s seat, seat
belt and seat belt mountings.
Before you operate the tractor, replace all damaged parts.
DO NOT WELD, DRILL, BEND OR STRAIGHTEN THE ROPS.

To do so reduces the protection it offer
Cab
The safety cab has been designed for fitment to this series of tractor and
meets all the legal requirements of cab safety and noise levels.
The safety cab conforms to the various international safety standards. The
cab must NEVER be drilled, or modified to install accessories or
implements . Welding components to the cab or repairing damaged
components is NOT PERMITTED. DO NOT attach chains or ropes to the
main frame of the cab for pulling purposes.
If additional controls or displays are to be added to the operator’s area

contact your Dealer for information as to how this can best be done.
The ROPS cab together with the seat belt is effective in reducing injuries
during overturn accidents. Wearing the seat belt is an important part of this
protection.
– Always wear your seat belt-adjusted snugly.
– Check the seat belt for damage. A damaged seat belt must be
replaced.
WARNING: IF THE TRACTOR HAS TO OPERATE IN AREAS WITH

RISK OF FALLING OBJECTS (LIKE IN MINES, ETC.), WHERE A FOPS
IS REQUIRED, PLEASE CONSIDER THAT YOUR TRACTOR,
EQUIPPED WITH ROPS SAFETY STRUCTURE (FRAME OR CAB), IS
NOT ALLOWED TO OPERATE IN THOSE AREAS.
XXIII

Prepare for Safe Operation

Protect Yourself
Wear all the protective clothing and personal safety devices issued to you
or called for by job conditions. Don’t take chances.
You may need:

• A hard hat.
• Safety glasses, goggles, or face
shield.
• Hearing protection.
• Respirator or filter mask.
• Foul weather clothing.
• Reflective clothing.
• Heavy gloves (neoprene for che-
micals, leather for rough work).
• Safety boots.
Note where fire extinguishers and

first-aid or emergency equipment is
kept and get to know where to find help BASIC
FIRST
in a hurry. Make sure you know how to

AID
use this equipment.
DO NOT wear loose clothing, jewellery or other items and tie up long hair
which could entangle in controls or other parts of the tractor.
Risks from exposure to noise

The tractor and any implements attached to it constitute a source of noise
of which the intensity and frequency can be measured using the
appropriate instruments.
Anyone who uses the tractor must know that:
– exposure to excessive and/or prolonged noise can cause serious
damage, not just to the hearing but also to general health. The higher
the noise level (dbA) and the greater the duration of exposure, the
higher the risk. The combination of both these factors can be
expressed in the value LEP (level of personal exposure to noise).
– you therefore need to know the noise level generated by the tractor.
This information can be found in the Use and Maintenance Handbook,
under the chapter heading “Technical Data”.
XXIV

– the use of ear protection is essential when the noise level exceeds a
certain value and/or when operating the tractor for prolonged periods.
The point at which action is to be taken is generally when the level of
personal exposure LEP reaches or exceeds 85 dbA. Various types of
protection are available, including ear muffs, ear plugs and helmets.
Know Your Equipment

Know your tractor. Know how to
operate all equipment on your machine
and the implements and attachments
used with it. Know the purpose of all
the controls, gauges and dials. Know
the rated load capacity, speed range,
braking and steering characteristics,
turning
radius, and operating clearances.
Keep in mind that rain, snow, ice, loose
gravel, soft ground, etc. can change
the way your tractor operates.
Under poor conditions, slow down and be extra careful, engage

four-wheel drive, if fitted.
Study theDANGER, WARNING, or CAUTION safety signs on your tractor

and the information signs also.
READ THIS OPERATOR INSTRUCTION BOOK BEFORE STARTING

THE ENGINE.

Before applying pressure to the fuel or hydraulic system, be sure all

connections are tight and that lines, pipes, and hoses are not damaged.
Before disconnecting fuel or hydraulic lines, be sure to relieve all pressure.
Make sure that all hydraulic lines are correctly installed and not crossed.
WARNING: LIQUID COOLING SYSTEMS BUILD UP PRESSURE AS

THE ENGINE GETS HOT. BEFORE REMOVING THE RADIATOR CAP,
STOP THE ENGINE AND LET THE SYSTEM COOL.
CHECK THE ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM AND ADD COOLANT AS
REQUIRED.
Clean the Tractor

– Keep work surfaces and engine compartments clean.
– Before cleaning the machine, always lower implements to the ground,

place transmission in neutral or with the lowest gear engaged, if
mechanical, engage the parking brake, shut off the engine and
remove the key.
– Clean steps, pedals and floor. Remove grease or oil. Brush away dust
or mud. In winter, scrape away snow and ice. Remember - slippery
surfaces are dangerous.
– Remove or put away tools, buckets, chains and hooks.
Protect the Environment
It is illegal to pollute drains,

water courses or soil. Use
authorised waste disposal
facilities, including civic amenity
sites and garages providing
facilities for disposal of used oil.
If in doubt, contact your local
authority for advice.
XXVIII

Servicing the Tractor

– DO NOT service the tractor while the engine is running or hot, or if the
tractor is in motion.
– Before making adjustments

to, or servicing the electrical
system, disconnect the
battery negative (-) cable
first.
– To prevent fires or
explosions keep open flame
away from the battery or
cold weather starting aids.
To prevent sparks which
could cause explosions use
jump cables according to
instructions.
– When making repairs or adjustments it is recommended that you

consult your Dealer, and have the work carried out by trained
personnel.
– The implement and/or tractor must be supported on suitable wooden

blocks or stands, NOT a hydraulic jack.
– Check all nuts and bolts periodically for tightness, especially wheel
hub and rim nuts. Tighten to the prescribed torque values.
– Check the brakes regularly, top up the reservoir and/or adjust where
necessary. Make sure that the brakes are evenly adjusted, especially
when using a trailer.
Starting
Warn Personnel before Starting
Before starting, walk completely around the tractor and any attached
equipment. Make sure that no one is under it, on it, or close to it. Let other
workers and bystanders know you are starting up and don’t start until
everyone is clear of the tractor, implements and towed equipment.
Ensure that all bystanders, particularly children, are a suitable distance
away before starting the engine.
XXIX

Mount and Dismount Safely

Always use ‘three point contact’ with the machine, and face the machine
when you mount it. (Three point contact means both hands and one foot or
one hand and both feet are in contact with the machine at all times during
mounting and dismounting).
Clean your shoes and wipe your hands before climbing on. Use handrails,
grab handles, ladders or steps (as provided) when mounting or
dismounting.
DO NOT use control levers as a

hand hold and never step on
foot controls when mounting or
dismounting.
DO NOT attempt to mount or

dismount from a moving tractor.
DO NOT jump off a tractor other
than in an emergency.
Start Safely
WARNING: BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE MAKE SURE THERE IS

PLENTY OF VENTILATION. DO NOT OPERATE THE ENGINE IN A
CLOSED BUILDING. THE EXHAUST FUMES MAY CAUSE
ASPHYXIATION.
Always start the engine from the operator’s seat with all the transmission
levers and the P.T.O. lever in neutral.
Make sure that the tractor’s dual
brake pedals are locked
together at all times unless you
are making turns in the field
which require independent use
of the brakes. Make sure the
brakes are properly adjusted so
that both brakes engage at the
same time.
Adjust the seat, fasten the seat
belt, apply the parking brake
and put all controls in neutral
before starting up.
XXX

DANGER: START THE ENGINE, WITH THE STARTER KEY, FROM

THE OPERATOR’S SEAT ONLY. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO START THE
ENGINE BY SHORTING ACROSS THE STARTER TERMINALS. THE
MACHINE WILL START IN GEAR IF THE NEUTRAL START CIRCUIT IS
BYPASSED. THIS COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO
ANYONE IN THE VICINITY OF THE TRACTOR. ENSURE THAT THE
ENGINE STARTER SOLENOID COVER IS ALWAYS IN POSITON.
Follow Recommended Starting Procedures

Follow the starting procedures recommended in the Operation section of
this Operator Instruction Book. This includes normal starting, cold starting,
and the use of starting fluids.
Test the Controls

After starting, re-check all gauges and lights. Make sure everything is
functioning correctly. If the tractor does not respond correctly when each
control is operated, DO NOT use the machine until the fault is rectified.
Starting Fluid
DANGER: DO NOT USE AEROSOL CANS OF STARTING AID ON

TRACTORS WITH THE THERMOSTART CONNECTED TO THE
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. ETHER COMBINED WITH THERMOSTART
CAN CAUSE AN EXPLOSION WITH DAMAGE TO ENGINE,
PERSONAL INJURY, OR BOTH.
Your tractor has been fitted with

a thermostart cold starting
device. If aerosol cans of
starting fluid, or ether start-aid,
are to be used the thermostart
must be disconnected. Remove
the wire from the thermostart STARTI NG
unit which will be found on the FLUID
induction manifold. Tape the
end of the wire to prevent an
electrical short circuit.
XXXI

Handle starting fluid as directed

by the manufacturer. Starting
fluid must only be used when an
ether-start aid is fitted as original
equipment by the manufacturer
or when installed by a Dealer as
an accessory. In cases of
tractors being fitted with glow
plugs or thermostart, these must
be removed prior to the
installation of an ether start-aid.
Work Safely
WARNING: AN UNBALANCED TRACTOR COULD OVERTURN AND

CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH. MAKE SURE FRONT FRAME
COUNTERWEIGHTS, WHEEL WEIGHTS AND WHEEL BALLAST ARE
USED AS RECOMMENDED BY THE MANUFACTURER. DO NOT ADD
EXTRA COUNTERWEIGHTS TO COMPENSATE FOR AN
OVERLOADED TRACTOR, IT IS RECOMMENDED TO REDUCE THE
LOAD. KEEP ALL PARTS OF YOUR BODY INSIDE THE OPERATOR’S
COMPARTMENT WHILE OPERATING THE TRACTOR.
Making the Right Moves

Make sure your tractor is ready for the job it must do.
Know the rated load capacities of your tractor and never exceed them. Be
certain that any equipment or implements you intend to use DO NOT
exceed the load rating of your tractor. Be sure the tractor and implement
PTO speed match.
Keep in mind that tractors normally operate on uneven, unpaved, and

often bumpy or sloping surfaces. Operating conditions can reduce the
amount of weight you should carry or pull.
Follow Safe Operating Practices

– Operate the controls smoothly - don’t jerk the steering wheel or other
controls.
– DO NOT get on or off a moving tractor. Keep a firm grip on the steering
wheel at all times, with the thumbs clear of the spokes when driving
the tractor
XXXII

– Make sure you have adequate clearance in all directions for tractor,
cab, ROPS and implement.
– DO NOT play games with a tractor or equipment.Use only for intended

purpose.
– DO NOT attempt to work the controls except from the operator’s , if

tractor is NOT equipped with proper passenger seat.
– DO NOT carry passengers, if tractor is NOT equipped with proper

passenger seat.
– Before dismounting, always disengage the P.T.O., lower all

attachments and implements to the ground, engage parking brake,
shut off the engine, engage the lowest gear (if mechanical
transmission) and remove the key. With hydraulic transmission or
powershift transmission or powershuttle, ALWAYS chock the tractor
wheels.
DO NOT touch, lean on, or

reach through any implement
mechanism or permit others to
do so.
Stay alert. Should something
break, come loose, or fail to
operate on your equipment,
stop work, lower equipment to
the ground, shut off the engine,
inspect the machine and have
repairs or adjustments made
before resuming operation.
Watch out for Others
– Be aware of what is going

on. DO NOT allow an
untrained or unqualified
person to operate your
tractor. They could injure
themselves or someone
else.
XXXIII

WARNING: YOUR TRACTOR IS A ONE-PERSON MACHINE. DO NOT

PERMIT OTHERS TO RIDE ON THE TRACTOR OR THE IMPLEMENT.
IN SOME TERRITORIES A PASSENGER SEAT MUST BE FITTED TO
CARRY PASSENGERS. DO NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO RIDE ON THE
IMPLEMENTS OR OTHER EQUIPMENT INCLUDING TRAILERS,
EXCEPT ON CERTAIN HARVESTING EQUIPMENT, SPECIFICALLY
DESIGNED FOR RIDERS DURING THE ACTUAL HARVEST
OPERATION ONLY (NOT DURING TRANSPORT). SUCH EQUIPMENT
MUST HAVE PROVISION FOR A SAFE RIDING AREA. DO NOT
ALLOW CHILDREN ON THE TRACTOR.
– Be certain you can control both speed and direction before moving.
Move slowly until you are sure that everything is operating properly.
After starting, recheck the steering, right and left. Be certain you have
full steering and brake control. If differential is locked, DO NOT
operate at high speed or turn the tractor until the differential lock is
disengaged.
– DO NOT lift a load over anyone.
– Keep others away from your operation. DO NOT allow anyone to

stand or pass under a raised implement.
– DO NOT lift objects that can not be contained in the bucket, get the
appropriate attachment. DO NOT allow anyone to stand on the ROPS
or fenders.
– When using a loader, avoid sudden stops, starts, turns, or change of

direction. Keep loads close to the ground when transporting.
– DO NOT stand (or allow anyone else to stand) in front of, under, or
behind loaded or loading equipment. DO NOT drive a tractor up to
someone standing in front of a fixed object.
– Keep others away from universal joints, hitches, drawbar, lift arms,
P.T.O. drives, cylinders, belts, pulleys, and other moving parts. Keep
all shields and guards in place.
WARNING: DO NOT STAND, OR ALLOW ANYONE ELSE TO STAND,

BETWEEN THE TRACTOR AND IMPLEMENT UNLESS THE ENGINE
IS TURNED OFF AND THE PARKING BRAKE IS ENGAGED, THE
LOWEST GEAR IS ENGAGED, THE KEY IS REMOVED, AND ALL
ATTACHMENTS OR IMPLEMENTS ARE LOWERED TO THE
GROUND.
XXXIV

Risk of Overturning
For your safety, it is strongly
recommended that all footstep
tractors are fitted with Roll Over
Protective Structures (ROPS)
and seat belts.
In the event of an overturn with a
tractor fitted with a cab or
ROPS, hold the steering wheel
firmly and DO NOT attempt to
leave the seat until the tractor
has come to rest. If the doors of
the cab are obstructed, leave
through the rear window or the
roof hatch.
To Avoid Side Overturns

– Set the wheel track at the widest setting suitable for the job being
done.
– Lock the brake pedals together before driving at transport speeds.
– Reduce speed to match operating conditions. If the tractor is

equipped with a front-end loader, carry the bucket and load as low as
possible.
– Make wide slow turns at reduced speed. Don’t let your tractor bounce.
You may lose steering control.
– Don’t pull a load too heavy for your tractor. It could run away on the
down slope or the tractor could jack-knife around a towed load.
– Don’t brake suddenly. Apply brakes smoothly and gradually.
– When going down a slope, use the throttle to slow the tractor engine
and use the same gear range you would use to go up the slope. Shift
into gear before you start downhill.
– Engage four-wheel drive (if fitted).
– It is less likely that the tractor will overturn if you travel straight up or
down a steep slope rather than across it.
XXXV

– Avoid crossing steep slopes if possible. If you must do so, avoid any
holes or depressions on the downhill side. Avoid any stumps, rocks,
bumps or raised areas on the uphill side. When operating near ditches
and banks, always keep your tractor behind the shear line. Avoid
ditches, embankments and river-banks which might cave in.
– If it is necessary to cross a steep slope, avoid turning uphill, slow down

and make a wide turn. Travel directly up or down the slope, never
across it. When travelling up or down a slope, keep the heavy end of
the tractor on the uphill side.
– If when travelling across a slope with side mounted implements, keep

the implement on the uphill side.Do not raise the implements. Keep
them as low to the ground as possible when crossing a slope.
– When towing a load at transport speed or in the field, lock the drawbar
in the centre position and use a safety chain.
– DO NOT use your tractor to round up farm animals.
WARNING: DO NOT DISENGAGE THE CLUTCH OR ATTEMPT TO

SHIFT GEAR AFTER YOU HAVE STARTED DOWNHILL.
To Avoid Rear Overturns
WARNING: HITCHING TO THE REAR AXLE, OR ANY OTHER POINT

ABOVE THE SWINGING DRAWBAR, CAN CAUSE A REAR
OVERTURN.
– DO NOT pull anything using the top link connection, or from any point
above the centre line of the rear axle. Always use an approved
drawbar, and only use a drawbar pin that locks in place.
– High hitching can cause rear overturn, which may cause serious injury
or death. Hitch loads to the drawbar only.
– Only use a three-point linkage drawbar when stays are fitted to keep it
in the down position.
– Use front counterweights to increase tractor stability when towing a

heavy load or to counter balance a heavy rear mounted implement.
XXXVI

– Start forward slowly and gradually increase your speed. DO NOT rev
the engine or drop the clutch. If the tractor is attached to a heavy load,
or immovable object, improper clutching may cause overturn.
– If the front end of the tractor starts to lift, reduce your speed and, if
necessary, disengage the clutch.
– If your tractor is bogged down in mud or frozen to the ground, DO NOT

attempt to drive forwards. The tractor can rotate around its rear
wheels and overturn. Lift any attached implement and attempt to
BACK OUT. If this is not possible, tow it out with another vehicle.
– If you get stuck in a ditch, BACK OUT, if possible. If you must go

forward, do it slowly and carefully.
– A bare tractor or tractor with rear mounted attachments should be

backed up the slope in reverse and travel forward downhill.
– A tractor with a loaded front-end bucket should be backed down the

slope and travel forward uphill.Keep the loader bucket as low as
possible.
– Always keep the tractor in gear when going downhill. DO NOT permit
the tractor to coast with clutch disengaged or transmission in neutral.
General Operating Hazards

– Ensure that the P.T.O. shield is in place and that the P.T.O. cap is
fitted when the P.T.O. driveline is not in use.
DANGER: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO UNPLUG THE HYDRAULIC

CONNECTIONS, OR ADJUST AN IMPLEMENT WITH THE ENGINE
RUNNING OR THE P.T.O. DRIVE IN OPERATION. TO DO SO MAY
RESULT IN VERY SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
– Before attaching, detaching, cleaning or adjusting P.T.O. driven

implements, disengage the P.T.O., stop the engine, remove the key,
and make sure that the P.T.O. driveline has stopped.
– Ensure that all the P.T.O. driveline guards are in place and observe all
safety decals.
– Be sure everyone is clear of your machine before engaging the

P.T.O.. For stationary P.T.O. operation, always place transmission in
neutral, engage parking brake, and chock both tractor and implement
wheels.
XXXVII

– When operating mobile P.T.O. driven equipment, DO NOT leave the

tractor seat until the PTO drive is disengaged, the lowest gear is
engaged (if mechanical), the parking brake is engaged, the engine
shut off and the key removed.
– DO NOT use P.T.O. adaptors, reducers or extensions as they extend
the P.T.O. coupler and universal joint out beyond the protection
offered by the P.T.O. shield.
– The top link and lift rods must not be extended beyond the point where
threads begin to show.
– When using chemicals, carefully follow for use, storage and disposal.
Also follow the chemical application equipment manufacturer’s
instructions.
– When operating under poor visibility conditions, or in the dark, use
your tractor field lights and reduce your ground speed. DO NOT use
your field lights when travelling on a roadway because rear pointed
white lights may be illegal except when reversing and may confuse
following drivers.
– Operate your tractor with the wheels set at the widest setting possible,
consistent with the particular task you are performing. To adjust wheel
settings refer to Maintenance and Adjustment section.
– Reduce your speed when operating over rough or slippery ground
and when foliage restricts your view of hazards.
– DO NOT make sharp turns at high speed.
Implements and Attachments

– Three-point hitch and side mounted implements make a much larger
arc when turning than towed equipment. Make certain to allow
WARNING: A FRONT-END LOADER (BUCKET OR FORKS) MUST BE

EQUIPPED WITH A SUITABLE RESTRAINING DEVICE TO PREVENT
THE LOAD (BALES, FENCE POSTS, ROLLS OF FENCE, WIRE ETC.)
FROM ROLLING DOWN THE LIFT ARMS INTO THE OPERATOR’S
COMPARTMENT AND CRUSHING THE DRIVER WHEN THE LOADER
IS RAISED. INADEQUATELY SECURED OBJECTS COULD ALSO
FALL AND INJURE BYSTANDERS.
sufficient clearance for turning. Use only approved attachments and

implements.
– When using attachments or implements with the tractor, be sure to
thoroughly read the Operator Instruction Book for that attachment or
implement and follow its safety instructions.
XXXVIII

– DO NOT overload an attachment or towed equipment. Use proper

counter-weights to maintain tractor stability. Hitch loads to the
drawbar only.
– A safety chain will help control drawn equipment should it be

accidentally separated from the drawbar while transporting. Using the
appropriate adaptor parts, attach the chain to the tractor drawbar
support or other specified anchor location. Provide only enough slack
in the chain to permit turning. See your Dealer for a chain with a
strength rating equal to, or greater than the gross weight of the towed
machine.
– Make sure any towed implements are equipped with a safety chain
linking tractor and implement.
– Pull only from the approved drawbar. Towing or attaching to other

locations may cause the tractor to overturn.
WARNING: TRACTOR REQUIRES CORRECT TRAILER BRAKING

EQUIPMENT BE INSTALLED AND CONNECTED TO THE
EQUIPMENT.
Safety - Towing
– For towed equipment WITHOUT brakes, DO NOT tow equipment:
- at speeds over 30 km/h (19 miles/h);
- that, when fully loaded, weighs more than 1 times the weight of the
towing unit (please refer to local rules).
– For towed equipment WITH MECHANICAL brakes, DO NOT tow

equipment:
towing unit or 5000 Kg (please refer to local rules).
– For towed equipment WITH HYDRAULIC OR PNEUMATIC brakes,

DO NOT tow equipment:
towing unit, with a maximum of 20000 Kg (please refer to local rules).
– When parking tractor and towed trailer, engage the lowest

transmission gear, engage parking brake, shut off the engine, remove
the key and chock both tractor and trailer wheels
– Stopping distance increases with speed and weight of towed loads,

and on hills and slopes. Towed loads with or without brakes that are
too heavy for the tractor or are towed too fast can cause loss of
control. Consider the total weight of the equipment and its load.
XXXIX

WARNING: ON TOWING TRAILERS, BEFORE LEAVING THE

DRIVING POSITION, REMEMBER TO PUT ALL CONTROLS IN
NEUTRAL, TO APPLY THE HANDBRAKE, TO SWITCH OFF THE
ENGINE, TO ENGAGE THE LOWEST GEAR (IF MECHANICAL
TRANSMISSION) AND TO REMOVE THE KEY. WITH HYDRAULIC
TR A N S M I S S I O N O R P O W E R S H I F T T R A N S M I S S I O N O R
POWERSHUTTLE, ALWAYS CHOCK BOTH TRACTOR AND TRAILER
WHEELS.

SECTION III USE
Engine - first 100 work hours
The tractor is delivered to the customer ready for use under full power,
thanks to the exhaustive inspections to which the engine is subjected in
our testing rooms.
Nevertheless, FO R THE F I R ST 50 H O U R S' R U N N I N G, i t i s

recommended that the tractor not be run at maximum load for long periods
so as to enable the piston rings and the various moving parts to bed in
properly.
During this period we strongly advise to refrain from running the engine at
low r.p.m.s or high r.p.m.s for a long time when in neutral, as either
situation is harmful and would result in engine components becoming
bedded in such a way that MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE will not be
guaranteed.
IMPORTANT: THE SAFETY SEAL ON THE ENGINE GOVERNOR IS

APPLIED BY THE MANUFACTURER AND ENSURES THAT THE
POWER OUTPUT OF YOUR TRACTOR DOES NOT EXCEED THE
DECLARED AND APPROVED VALUE.ANY TAMPERING WITH THIS
SEAL ON THE GOVERNOR WILL VOID THE WARRANTY FOR THE
ENTIRE TRACTOR WITH IMMEDIATE EFFECT.
DANGER: DO NOT USE AEROSOL CANS OF STARTING AID ON

TRACTORS WITH THE THERMOSTART CONNECTED TO THE
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. ETHER COMBINED WITH THERMOSTART
CAN CAUSE AN EXPLOSION WITH DAMAGE TO ENGINE,
PERSONAL INJURY, OR BOTH.
26

SECTION III USE
For a good running-in, the following rules should be observed:
• whenever the engine is started up, it should be left idling for a few
minutes;
• avoid using the engine continuously at low or at high idling speeds

with light loads;
• during the first 20 hours' work do not use the engine with excessi-
vely high loads; use tractor under full load for gradually longer pe-
riods;
• before stopping the engine, let it run for a few minutes at low idling
speed;
• the maintenance operations and checks listed below should be

performed most conscientiously:
during the initial engine oil level: check frequently

work phase
at 50 hours change engine oil use recommended oil only;

and replace oil filter: before fitting the filter,
oil the sealing ring
CAUTION: AFTER SOME HOURS OF HEAVY WORK, LET THE

ENGINE IDLE FOR A FEW MINUTES BEFORE STOPPING IT. THIS IS
TO PREVENT THE TURBINE FROM ROTATING THROUGH INERTIA
WITHOUT SUFFICIENT LUBRICATION.
27

SECTION III USE
Starting the engine
Before starting the engine through the ignition key:
• Switch off all battery-operated equipment (such as headlamps,di-

rection indicators, electric fan, windshield wiper, heating and air
conditioning systems).
• Depress the clutch pedal.

• Move the REAR and FRONT P.T.O. control levers (if any), to the
release position, (warning lamp out for tractors with elec-
tro-hydraulic controls and OFF for tractors with mechanical con-
trols).
• Move the forward-reverse lever to neutral position in order to com-

plete the start circuit. Transmission neutral safety switch interrupts
power to starter when forward-reverse gear is engaged.
Insert the key and turn to symbol , making sure that the engine oil
pressure and alternator lights come on.
A lamp indicating pre-heating lights up when ambient temperature is

below 10°C (50°F); wait until the lamp has gone out (approx. 55 seconds)
before turning the key to the next position.
Turn the key to the start symbol , and accelerate as appropriate.
When engine has started, release the key, which will automatically return
to position .
If engine does not start, repeat the operation when starter motor has
stopped (after 10-15 seconds) a maximum of 3-4 times.
28

SECTION III USE
Starting the engine by towing

This starting method should only be used when absolutely necessary.
Proceed as follows:
– Select a forward gear from the normal speed range.
– Set the hand throttle to the half-way position.
– Fully depress the clutch pedal and have the vehicle towed. When the
tractor has reached a speed of about 5 km/h, gradually release the
clutch pedal.
CAUTION: BY LOW TEMPERATURE, AFTER STARTING KEEP THE

ENGINE NOT ABOVE 1800 REV/MIN, UNTIL IT HAS REACHED THE
NORMAL WORKING TEMPERATURE.
DANGER: NEVER START THE ENGINE BY SHORT-CIRCUITING THE

STARTER ENGINE’S TERMINALS. THIS MAY CAUSE SUDDEN
TAKE-OFFS WHICH COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS TO THE
OPERATOR.
29

SECTION III USE
Cold starting
Diesel engines are to be refuelled exclusively with diesel fuel of the type
normally commercially available and which conforms to the requirements
of the applicable standards.
In winter, when the temperature falls below 0° C (32°F), it is essential to

use only winter diesel fuel, which allows the engine to run correctly at
temperatures down to –20°C (-4°F).
If summer diesel fuel is used at low temperatures, the molecules of
paraffin contained in the fuel will be deposited on the filters which will
therefore become clogged and prevent the fuel from arriving at the
injection pump.
In certain countries, diesel fuel containing special additives is available

which are suitable for temperatures even below –20°C (-4°F).
If winter diesel fuel is not available (or if it is available but the temperature
is below –20°C (-4°F) kerosene (paraffin oil) may be added in the
percentages indicated in the diagram.

SECTION III USE
Emergency starting through auxiliary battery

N.B.: The auxiliary battery might also be on another tractor; in any case, it
is essential that it has the same rated voltage and the same number of
elements as the discharged battery.
Make sure the two vehicles are not in contact.
Disconnect all battery-fed equipment through the proper controlling devices.
Shift into neutral position.
Make sure the discharged battery is properly earthed (grounded), its
terminals are well tightened and the elctrolyte level is correct.
The following procedure should be observed:
• Connect both batteries as shown in figure.
• If the auxiliary battery is on another tractor, it is first necessary to
start this tractor by setting the engine to 1/4th of its idling speed.
• Start the tractor by means of the ignition key throughout the usual
procedure.
If the engine does not start the first time, repeat same operation after 15 to
20 seconds, i.e. with stationary starter, up to 3-4 times. Should the engine
not start once again, determine it is not due to engine's failure.
DANGER: MAKE SURE YOU CONNECT THE BATTERY TERMINALS

CORRECTLY. DANGER OF SHORT-CIRCUIT!
Battery connection through the suitable connecting cables.

A - Auxiliary battery
B - Discharged battery
31

SECTION III USE
Engine shut down

– If engine is exceptionally hot, allow it to idle for a few minutes.
– Put the gear lever in neutral; in the case of tractors with an electronic
regulator, turn the ignition key to position .

– Pull the stop control knob fully out.
– The engine stop command has a self-lock function; to unlock before
starting the engine, pull the lever located below.
Turbocharging
The turbocharging unit has the function of forcing more air into the
cylinders. this in turn proportionally increases the diesel fuel delivery
capacity.
The increase in fuel delivery capacity is done to obtain greater engine

power.
The turbocharger unit, of extremely simple and rational design, consists of

a turbine and a compressor.
The turbine is operated by the exhaust gases from the engine (this way,
part of the gases' kinetic energy which would otherwise be wasted is
recovered). The turbine drives the compressor, which compresses the air
aspirated through the filter into the cylinder intake duct.
WARNING
1 - Never race a cold engine. Run the engine just above idling speed for a
minute or two to let the oil warm up progressively (the turbocharger is
lubricated by the engine oil) so as to ensure a perfect lubrication of the
turbine.
2 - After some hours of heavy work, let the engine idle for a few minutes
before stopping it. This is to prevent the turbine from rotating through
inertia without sufficient lubrication. Since the turbocharger rotates at very
high speeds, (70.000 to 110.000 r.p.m.) under normal working conditions,
even a few seconds of poor lubrication may lead to irreparable damage.
WARNING: DO NOT DISENGAGE THE CLUTCH OR ATTEMPT TO

SHIFT GEAR AFTER YOU HAVE STARTED DOWNHILL.

SECTION III USE
Gear selection
Press the clutch before starting the engine. A safety mechanism prevents
the engine from starting unless the clutch pedal is depressed.
With the clutch pedal depressed, select the required travel direction on the
shuttle lever (if present). Then select the required range using the range
selector lever.
Then select the required gear using the gear selector lever.
The choice of gear and range will depend on a number of factors, including
the type of terrain, the type of implement used and the task in hand.
Avoid using gears which overload the engine.
A simple way of checking whether the engine is overloaded or not is to run

the engine at 1/4 throttle, then acclerate rapidly to full throttle.
If the engine speed does not increase or even decreases, this means that
the engine is overloaded and a lower gear should be selected.
Thanks to the synchromesh gearbox, the gear selector lever and the
underdrive lever may be operated when the tractor is in motion. All the
other controls, however, may only be operated when the tractor is
stationary.
The clutch pedal must be fully depressed before each gear, range or
direction change. After the selection, release the pedal gradually but
firmly.
NB: Shifts from a forward gear to a reverse gear and vice versa (using the
shuttle lever) may only be performed when the tractor is stationary.
IMPORTANT - The creeper speeds must only be used when working with
PTO-driven implements and even then, only for those tasks that do not
require high levels of tractive power.
The tractor must always be stationary before engaging or disengaging the
creeper unit.
CAUTION: ONLY OPERATE THE SUPER-REDUCTION LEVER WHEN

THE TRACTOR IS STATIONARY AND THE CLUTCH PEDAL IS FULLY
DEPRESSED.
NOTE: Only engage creep speeds after having first selected the slow range
L, at a maximum speed of 2 km/h (1.24 mph), and with the clutch pedal
depressed or with the shuttle control lever in neutral position.

SECTION III USE
• Working with draft control

(ploughs, rippers, trenchers, etc.)
Place green lever on No. 4 or 5 of its own sector.
Pull yellow lever into blue sector marked with "FLOAT" so as to obtain
quick implement penetration sinking into the ground.
Pull the yellow lever in the green sector to the edge of the blue sector.
Move the green lever forwards until the desired working depth is obtained,
then lock it in place through the special adjustable stop screw so as to
obtain the same working depth during successive runs.
At the end of the furrow to raise the implement from the ground pull the
yellow lever fully backwards against its stop. When starting a new furrow
push the yellow lever into blue sector "FLOAT" and leave it there until the
implement has attained the desired working depth, after which
immediately move it back into green sector.
• Working with surface and underground implements with si-

multaneous draft and position control - Mix control
When working with soil of variable conditions, to prevent the implement
from sinking more than necessary in terrains of minor consistency, the
power-lift control levers should be positioned in such a way to obtain both
implement effort and position control.
For mixed control, start work and position the levers as described in "draft
control work", then move the yellow lever backwards along the sector
(yellow and green) until lifting commences; move the lever slightly forward
again (1-2 mm / 0.0394-0.0788 in) to immobilise the implement in position.
• Working with float position

(e.g. sowing machine)
When the implement is to follow the ground contours, push the yellow
lever in the blue sector (FLOAT).
The green lever may be in any of the positions included between No. 6 and
No. 12 of its own sector.
At the beginning and end of each row act only on the yellow lever to raise

SECTION III USE
Nomenclature
Directional control valve:
A valve that can be operated to control the flow of oil from a pressurised
circuit to an outlet port. There are three main types of directional control
valve: SINGLE-ACTING (no longer used), DOUBLE-ACTING and
DOUBLE/SINGLE-ACTING.
Double-acting control valve:
When the control lever is moved in one

Neutro
direction, the control valve spool shifts to
allow pressurised oil to flow out through one 1 0 2
port and return through a second port. When
the control lever is moved in the opposite Abbassamento Sollevamento
direction, the direction of flow is reversed.
The control lever has 3 positions: pressure
port 1, neutral 0, pressure port 2.
Double/single-acting control valve:
This valve is like the double-acting valve described above, but can be
converted into a single-acting valve by way of a screw. When operating in
single-acting mode, the valve is connected to the implement by a single
hose connected to the pressure port 1; this hose serves as both the
pressure and return line (when the control lever is in the “return” position).
The control lever still has 3 positions: pressure 1, neutral 0 and return.
Double/ single acting
Conversion to single-acting -
Turn the screw A to one port of Detent
the control valve which i s Kick-out +N.R. FLOAT
permanently connected to the A
tank return line, so that the
other port may be used for both
pressure and return.
53

SECTION III USE
DETENT device:
Mechanical detent that engages the control

valve spool when it is moved to a certain
1 0 2 Detent position at the end of its stroke. The spool
can only be released manually by operating
the control lever.
If the spool is not equipped with a DETENT,
the control lever will always return to the
centre position (NEUTRAL) when released
by the operator
KICK-OUT device:
Mechanical detent that engages the control

Kick-out valve spool when it is moved to a certain
1 0 2 position at the end of its stroke. The spool is
released automatically when the pressure
reaches the spring calibration value (about
130 bar). The control lever automatically
returns to the neutral position.
FLOAT device:
Device that allows the two ports to be

connected simultaneously to the tank return
1 0 2 Float line, thereby allowing the implement to
move up and down and follow the contours
of the terrain.
The control lever has four positions:
pressure 1, neutral 0, pressure 2, Float.
54

SECTION III USE
Non-return valve (check valve):
Mechanically operated check valve that

prevents leakage past the control valve NR 1 0 2
spool and thus undesired operating of the
hydraulic rams.
FLOW DIVIDER:
Allows the oil flow ra t e t o be set ,

independently of the pressure, in a certain
port of the double-acting control valve.
Flow divider
WARNING: DO NOT STAND OR PASS UNDER HYDRAULICALLY

LIFTED LOADS.
55

SECTION III USE
Types of auxiliary hydraulic service control valve
The tractor may be equipped with 2 different types of auxiliary service

control valve:
• 4-way control valve (2 double-acting ways + 2 convertible dou-

ble/single acting ways with FLOAT position and DETENT);
• 6-way control valve (2 convertible double/single-acting ways, with

KICK-OUT + 2 convertible double/single acting ways with DETENT
+ 2 double-acting ways with FLOAT position);
56

SECTION III USE
The controls
The manual controls of the
auxiliary services control valve
consist of two control levers for
the 4-way; three levers for the
6-way.
These control levers are located

to the right of the driver and have
three positions. O nly t he
double-acting control valves with
a FLOAT position has a total of
four positions.

57

SECTION III USE
The control levers and their corresponding rear (or front) hydraulic
couplers are numbered (from 1 to 4 in the case of 8-way control valves) for
easy identification.
For double-acting control valves:

If the control lever is pulled back (control lever number on RED
background), oil is sent under pressure to the upper service coupler with
the same number (RED background). The oil returning from the
implement ram can drain to tank through the lower service coupler with the
same number (YELLOW background).
If the control lever is pushed forward (control lever number on YELLOW

background) oil is sent under pressure to the lower service coupler with
the same number (YELLOW background). The oil returning from the
implement ram can drain to tank through the upper service coupler with
the same number (RED background).

WARNING: DURING THE IMPLEMENT HITCHING AND UNHITCHING

OPERATIONS GREAT CARE MUST BE TAKEN TO ADVOID SERIOUS
INJURY TO YOURSELF AND OTHERS.
WHENEVER USING SUPPORTS FOR THE IMPLEMENT, MAKE SURE
THEY ARE SUITABLE AND SUFFICIENTLY STRONG. NEVER USE
CONCRETE BLOCKS, BRICKS OR WOOD FOR SUPPORT. THEY

The control lever will only stay in position when released if the control
valve is equipped with the DETENT or KICK-OUT device. Otherwise the
lever will be returned to neutral position by a spring.
• NEUTRAL: move the control lever to its INTERMEDIATE

POSITION to shut off the oil flows both to and returning from the
lifting cylinder.
• LIFTING: move the control lever BACK to extend the cylinder and
raise the implement.
• LOWERING: move the control lever FORWARD to retract the
cylinder and lower the implement. In the case of a double-acting
control valve, the implement lowering action is controlled hydrauli-
cally, while in the case of a single-acting valve the lowering action
is determined by gravity and the return flow of oil.

• FLOAT: move the control

lever forward beyond the
lowering position to the flo- 2 F L O A T
at position to allow the

cylinder to extend or re-
tract freely and thus allow 1

61

SECTION III USE
In the case of diggers, shovels

and loaders, moving the control
lever to the float position will
allow the cylinder to move
freely and thus the bucket to
f ol l ow t he cont our s of t he
terrain.
N.B.: float position may also be used to lower the tipping body of a trailer
when the ram is operated as a single-acting cylinder. In this case it is
essential that the control valve is first converted to single-acting.
IMPORTANT: In the case of control valves not equipped with a Kick-out

valve, do not continue to hold the control lever in position when the
implement cylinder has reached the end of its stroke in order to avoid
prolonged operation of the pressure relief valve. This could cause the oil to
overheat and cause damage to the hydraulic system and transmission.
N.B.: on our tractors, the auxiliary services and the hydraulic lift are
supplied by the same hydraulic circuit. Therefore it is not possible to
operate the auxiliary ser vi ce co n t r o l val ve an d t h e l i ft
simultaneously.
DANGER: ON CONNECTING THE HYDRAULIC LINES OF THE

IMPLEMENT TO THE HYDRAULIC LINES OF THE TRACTOR,
ALWAYS FOLLOW CAREFULLY THE INSTRUCTION SHOWN ON THE
TRACTORS DECALS OR DESCRIBED INSIDE THIS MANUAL.
WRONG CONNECTIONS OF THE HYDRAULIC LINES BETWEEN
IMPLEMENT AND TRACTOR COULD CAUSE UNEXPECTED
MOUVEMENTS IN THE IMPLEMENTS, WITH SERIOUS RISK OF
PERSONAL INJURY.

SECTION III USE
Fig. 8 - Checking the transmission oil level
CAUTION: Before connecting implement hoses to the service couplers,

stop the engine and check that the connection fittings are clean. After
having connected the hoses and started the engine, check that the
hydraulic system is functioning correctly.
Then, after having operated the cylinders a few times to equalise the
pressure (moving the control lever to the lowering position, then to the
lifting position and then back to neutral), check the transmission oil level
(circular gauge A, fig. 8) with the cylinders both extended (lifting), and
retracted (lowering). The transmission oil should never be allowed to fall
below the minimum level (with cylinders extended) and should not ever
greatly exceed the maximum level, as the same oil supplies both the
external hydraulic services and the transmission.
NOTE: using the tractor with too little oil in the gearbox can cause serious
damage.

67

SECTION III USE
Operation of hydraulic devices that require a constant flow of oil (e.g.

hydraulic motors)
A
These devices must be operated using a double-acting control valve
equipped with a KICK-OUT device (or DETENT).
The connection must be made by connecting the pressure line A to the
corresponding lower service coupler for the control valve, while the return
line B must be connected to the upper service coupler.
The motor is operated by pushing the control lever forward (lowering
position - YELLOW).
To stop the oil flow, first move the control lever to the FLOAT position, until
the motor has slowed down and come to a complete stop. Then move the
control lever to the neutral position.
WARNING: to stop a motor, do not move the control lever immediately to

the neutral position, as the back pressure generated could damage the
hoses if the motor is not equipped with safety valves.
Use the control valve with FLOW DIVIDER to regulate the oil flow rate to
obtain the required speed of the hydraulic motor.
Fit an oil temperature sensor and, if necessary, an oil cooler.
The maximum permissible temperature is 110°C (230°F).
68

SECTION III USE
Class “A” drawbar

Swinging drawbar of the type commonly used for towing agricultural
implements, for trailers with more than one axle and consequently with low
vertical load.
To facilitate trailer attachment, the drawbar consists of a swinging bar with
horizontal adjustment.
• The drawbar is normally attached to the tractor under the tran-
smission case using the middle hole (A) of three holes in the end
of the bar.
• By using the other holes, the drawbar can be lengthened by 7
cm (2.75 in) or shortened by 10 cm (3.93 in).
The bar can also be inverted to adjust the height from the ground.
• To adjust the horizontal position of the bar, remove pins B,
move the bar to the required position, and then replace the pins.
WARNING: NEVER ALLOW ANYONE TO RIDE ON TOW HOOK,

DRAWBAR OR LIFTING ARMS AT ANY TIME.
WARNING: NEVER ALLOW ANYONE TO RIDE ON THE DRAWBAR

OR THE LOWER LIFT ARMS WHEN THE TRACTOR IS IN MOTION.

SECTION III USE
Ventilation
The ventilation unit is housed in the cab ceiling.
To switch it on and adjust it, turn the electrical fan switch to the desired
speed.
When the ventilation system is on, a slight pressurization is created inside

the cab. This forces the air flowing into the cab to pass through the filter
placed behind the front grille.
The fan switch can be operated only after the ignition key is inserted.
The air flow can be regulated and directed by suitably positioning the air
diffusers.

SECTION III USE
The air can be taken from the outside or alternatively from the inside of the
cab depending on the position of the air recirculating grille.
Fully closed air recirculating grille: the air is taken from the outside only
by way of the front grille and filtered through a paper filter placed under the
grating itself.
Either fully or partially open air recirculating grille: now the air is
recirculated inside the cab.
N.B. - It is very important that the air diffusers never be completely closed
so as to allow for a steady air flow.
To obtain a greater pressurization inside the cab, it is necessary to take the
air from the outside, therefore the inside air recirculating grille should be
fully closed.

For rapid heating of the cab, moving the control knob as far to the right as
possible and select the 2 nd blower speed.
The instruction given apply to both systems.
If it is necessary to defrost the windshield, adjust the defroster so as to

allow the air to flow out of the openings located on the dashboard. These
openings should never be blocked or covered.
After reaching the desired temperature adjust the system to suit your
needs.
N.B. -To obtain sufficient heater output, engine must run at 1600 rpm.
or higher. The higher the engine rpm, the greater the heater output
will be.
WARNING:
• Before starting the engine, make sure the system is off (by turning
off the ventilation fan) so as not to overload the battery.
• After using the system at full power for a long period of time, never
turn it off suddenly but let it first idle for about 20 seconds.
• If the air does not come out from the diffusers right away as soon
as the system is started, turn off immediately and identify the fault.
• N.B. Never turn on the heating system when working in dusty envi-
ronments.

Air conditioning system

The system is designed to ensure optimum temperature inside the cab
and maximum confort and safety for the operator.
• However, it is advisable to consult our specialized workshops whe-

never repairs or adjustments need to be performed.
• Do not approach the system with open flames, as any escape from
the circuit may produce a lethal gas.
• Never loosen for any reason the pipe fittings and do not handle pi-
ping. In addition, do not remove the oil plug located on the com-
pressor as the gas inside the circuit is under pressure.
• The refrigerant may cause severe burns resulting in frostbite. In

case of injuries proceed in the following manner:
- if the refrigerant hits your eyes, DO NOT rub eyes, it is necessary
to immediately wash them with some drops of mineral oil and after-
wards with a solution consisting of boric acid and water (one tea-
spoon of acid diluted in 1/4th a litre - 0.26 U.S. qt - of water). Seek
medical attention as soon as possible.
- If the refrigerant hits the skin causing it to become frostbitten, try
to warm up the injured area with cold water and subsequently
apply some greasy cream.
WARNING - When working in very dusty areas and a greater cab

pressurization is required to prevent dust from entering the cab, it is
recommended closing the air recirculating outlets.
WARNING: CONTACT WITH REFRIGERANT CAN CAUSE SEVERE

SKIN LESIONS. IN CASE OF CONTACT WITH THE EYES, DO NOT
RUB EYES, SEEK IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ASSISTANCE.
WARNING: ALWAYS USE THE 100% OF PERMANENT TYPE

ANTI-FREEZE “AKROS FREEZE” AVAILABLE FROM YOUR
DEALER, NEVER THE ALCOHOL TYPE ANTI-FREEZE.
DANGER: SHOULD THE SYSTEM DEVELOP A VISIBLE LEAK , DO

NOT APPROACH WITH A NAKED FLAME. REFRIGERANT GAS IS
FLAMMABLE AND ON COMBUSTION PRODUCES HIGHLY TOXIC
SUBSTANCES.

To cool the cab it is suggested to:

– fully open the pivotable air diffusers;
– turn the electric fan control and the potentiometer all the way;
– open the cab doors a few seconds to let the warm air flow out, in case
the tractor has been exposed to the sun for long;
– use the system regulating potentiometer (thermostat) to reach the de-
sired temperature.
After a few minutes the small sight glass placed above the dehydrating
filter should be transparent and free of bubbles.
If not, turn the system off and consult our skilled personnel.

TREATMENT OF PESTICIDES AND SO MUST BE REPLACED BY AN
“ACTIVE CARBON” FILTER AVAILABLE OPTIONALLY.
ONCE THE PESTICIDE TREATMENT IS FINISHED, IT IS NECESSARY
TO ONCE AGAIN REPLACE THE “ACTIVE CARBON” FILTER WITH
THE PAPER FILTER, SINCE THIS IS THE ONLY TYPE SUITED FOR
FILTERING FOREIGN PARTICLES FROM THE AIR.
Active carbon filters are removed and fitted in the same way as normal
filters.
WARNING: the filter does not provide total protection against toxic
substances.
• When handling the filter, wear protective gloves; this filter is to be

fitted in place of the standard dust filter.
• After each use, the filter must be removed and replaced in its origi-
nal packaging. The standard dust filter must then be refitted. The
packaging should be carefully sealed in order to maintain the filter
in good working condition.
• This filter, if used correctly and for no longer than a total of 200 ho-
urs, has a maximum life of 36 months from the moment the packa-
ging is opened (the date of manufacture is indicated on the filter).
• It is important that the filter is removed during use of the tractor for
any applications other than pesticide spraying; dust will clog the fil-
ter in a very short time.
• Do not wash the filter or clean with compressed air.

• Used filters must be disposed of at specialised collection centres.
Always follow the instructions provided by the product manufacturer.

SECTION IV WHEELS
SECTION 4 - WHEELS
Track adjustment
Tracks are adjusted to match the tractor to different row spacings and
implements, e.g. ploughs.
Tractors are delivered with disc wheels – non-track-adjusting – or
track-adjusting wheels – at option. Depending on the size of the tires, you
can choose among up to eight different track widths.
Furthermore, bear in mind the international ruling providing that the
distance between the outer edge of the illuminated face of direction
indicators, position lights, tail lights and top rear reflectors and the outer
edge of the tires should not exceed 400 mm (15.76 in).
Any maximum track widths which may be specified in the vehicle
registration papers for the travelling on public lanes and roads must not be
exceeded.

After any adjustment to the track width and whenever changing the wheels,
tighten the nuts and bolts to the following required tightening torques:
- Front wheels bolts M20x1.5= 36 kgm (350 Nm), 258.3 lbf ft;
bolts M16x1.5= 24 kgm (245 Nm), 180.8 lbf ft;
- Rear wheels bolts M20x1.5= 49 kgm (500 Nm), 369 lbf ft;
After 20 hours of work, all the nuts and bolts fixing the front and rear
wheels have to be retightened to the previous torques.
Before changing the wheels, ensure that the tractor cannot move and use
suitable supports.
Seating the tyre on the rim using compressed air: ensure that the air line
extension between the valve and the person inflating the tyre is of
sufficient length to allow the person to stand by the side of the tyre rather
than in front of it. This operation should be carried out by specially trained
ersonnel only.
WA R N I N G : FO R W H E E L S D I S A S S E M B L I N G A N D F O R
MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR, LIFT THE TRACTOR, USING SPECIFIC
TOOLS ONLY.

SECTION IV WHEELS
Tyre inflation pressures
– Tyres for front 2WD: 2.3 bar (33 psi)

– Tyres for front 4WD: 1.6 bar (23 psi)
– Rear tyres: 1.3 bar (19 psi)
For the tyre bead to seat correctly on the rim, the inflation pressure must
never exceed 5 bar (72.52 psi). Higher inflations pressures may cause the
tyre/rim to explode.
We recommend the use of metal safety cages or tyre restraint bars when
carrying out operations that require tyre inflation pressures above the
values for normal use.
WARNING: FOR THE TYRE BEAD TO SEAT CORRECTLY ON THE

RIM, THE INFLATION PRESSURE MUST NEVER EXCEED 5 BAR (72
PSI).
HIGHER INFLATIONS PRESSURES MAY CAUSE THE TYRE/RIM TO
EXPLODE.
WE RECOMMEND THE USE OF METAL SAFETY CAGES OR TYRE
RESTRAINT BARS WHEN CARRYING OUT OPERATIONS THAT
REQUIRE TYRE INFLATION PRESSURES ABOVE THE VALUES FOR
NORMAL USE.
IMPORTANT - When working on agricultural land in conditions requiring

maximum grip, the rear tyre inflation pressure may be reduced to a
minimum of 0.8 bar (11.60 psi). The normal inflation pressures for front
and rear tyres are those reported in the specifications table. These values
may be reduced proportionally to the permitted limits when necessary to
ensure a correct mechanical match between the front and rear wheels.
Narrow track
– at rear
Depending on the given tire size, not all of the shown track widths are
suitable for your tractor, as tire and fender may interfere. When selecting
the track width, make sure that there is adequate clearance between
fender and tire.
– at front
If you combine a narrow front axle track width with wide tires, watch out
that this does not block too much the steer angle. Check the distance
between engine hood and fenders. For this purpose, turn front wheels
against lock, then move front wheels up and down and let axle swing.

When changing the tractor over to row crop (bar tread) tires, observe load
rating and speed limits!
Given the tremendous variety of tyres available, always ask your nearest
dealer for information on alternative tyres and data on homologation,
capacity, pressure, track, etc..
95

SECTION IV WHEELS
Running direction of tires

Tyres must always be fitted so
that the tread pattern is oriented
correctly with respect to the
direction of forward travel. In the
case of wheels where the rim is
welded to the wheel disc, the left
and r i ght w heel s may be
swapped over to alter the track
width; in all cases, however, the
V-shaped tread pattern must
always point towards the front of
the tractor, as shown in the figure
above.
Note: approved tyre combinations: in each market, only the approved

combinations for the specific zone are available.
Adjusting steering stops

After every change of the front tyres, check the steering angle.
Procedure:
Operate parking brake

A Additionally secure tractor against
rolling (wheel chock)
In the case of tractors with suspen-
ded front axle, disconnect front axle
A A suspension
Jack up tractor at its front
Turn steering wheel (to left and
A A right).
Adjustment of the steering angle.
When the front axle is in the condition of maximum oscillation and the
wheels are turned to the maximum steering angle, there must be no
interference between the fenders and engine hood. If necessary, adjust
the internal angle.
WARNING: ALWAYS MAINTAIN THE CORRECT TYRE PRESSURE.

WHEN INFLATING THE TYRES MAKE SURE TO STAND TO THE SIDE
OF THE CENTRAL FLANGE.

The support bracket 1 on the rim 2 is fixed offset with respect to the
centreline of the rim (and therefore with respect to the tyre too).
During fitting, the bracket can be fitted in contact with the wheel 4 on both
sides.
This allows for two different tracks.

Two more tracks can be achieved by turning the rim 2 with respect to the
wheel 1.
This means that there are in fact 4 possible ways of fitting the rim 2 and
wheel 4.
If you then fit the assembled wheel on to the hub (or rear half-axle) with the
bell facing inside or outside you can actually achieve 8 different
configurations (see the figures on pages 99 and 100 ) for distance
between the centreline of the wheel and the mating surface on the wheel
hub or half-axle flange. There are therefore 8 possible track values.

Ballasting by filling the tyres with water + antifreeze solution

To prevent the water from freezing and damaging the tyres, use additives
to obtain a neutralised solution of calcium chloride.
Proceed as follows: pour the required quantity of water into a container
and then slowly pour in calcium chloride in the proportion of approx. 30 kg
(66.1 lb) to every 100 litres (26.4 U.S. gal) of water.
N.B. - Add calcium chloride to the water, not vice versa, to prevent the risk
of a violent chemical reaction.
The amount of liquid in the tyre must not exceed 75% of the total tyre
volume.
Warning: the antifreeze solution does not offer protection at

temperatures below -20°C (68°F).
Further information is obtainable from the tire trade. The antifreeze is to be

added to the water under constant stirring until it is completely dissolved.
After having filled the tires, flush all equipment with water, as the solution is
highly aggressive.
The liquid must be introduced into

the tyre using a special adapter
specifically designed f or t hi s
purpose.
(These adapters are supplied by

tyre manufacturers).

Hydraulic trailer braking

The tractor may be equipped with an optional hydraulic trailer braking
system.
The oil used by the system is diverted from the main hydraulic system by a
directional control valve.
This directional control valve is operated by a valve that is connected
hydraulically to the hydrostatic control of the tractor brakes.
For trailers with a safety brake, the system is equipped with a specific
directional control valve. This control valve has an ON-OFFcontrol that
allows the valve to be connected hydraulically (ON position) or excluded
(OFF position).
With the key in the ignition switch, when the control is in the OFF position,
a warning light will illuminate on the instrument panel. This same light also
illuminates to indicate insufficient pressure to operate the trailer brake.
The control valve is also connected to the handbrake, so that the trailer
brake is applied when the handbrake is operated.
N.B. - For any adjustment of the braking system, contact your authorized
service centre.

MAINTENANCE
Maintenance intervals
The recommended maintenance intervals apply to normal operating
conditions.
CAUTION: BEFORE STARTING THE TRACTOR, CHECK ITS

CONDITION FOR OPERATING SAFETLY ON THE PUBLIC HIGHWAY.
If the tractor is subjected to extreme working conditions and/or dusty

environments, the intervals between maintenance operations will have to
be reduced accordingly.
Scrupulously observe the recommended maintenance intervals and only

use recommended lubricants and fluids.
Using inferior quality lubricants in order to save money can result in
serious damage to the tractor.
Failure to have the tractor serviced at the recommended maintenance

intervals and to use the prescribed lubricants will invalidate the
manufacturer’s warranty.
DANGER: TO AVOID EYE INJURY, NEVER EXPOSE EYES TO WAVE

EMISSION ZONES WHEN RADAR IS IN OPERATION. DO THE RADAR
MAINTENANCE ONLY AFTER ENGINE TURNED OFF AND IGNITION
KEY IN STOP POSITION.

Fuel storage

FLAMMABLE MATERIAL.
The conditions of fuel storage are very important. The interiors of the
storage containers must be free of rust or any sediment, as any such
material could cause serious damage to the injection system.
Refueling
CAUTION: DO NOT OPERATATE ENGINE UNTIL FUEL TANK IS

ENPTY. IF ENGINE IS RUN OUT OF FUEL, IT WILL BECOME
NECESSARY TO BLEED AIR FROM FUEL SYSTEM.
The tractor fuel gauge indicates the exact level of fuel in the fuel tanks.
Be careful not to run out of diesel fuel when operating the tractor,
otherwise it will be necessary to bleed the air from fuel injection system.
WARNING: DO NOT FILL FUEL TANK WHILE ENGINE IS RUNNING,

HOT, NEAR OPEN FLAME OR WHILE SMOKING. TRACTOR
REFUELING SHOULD BE PERFORMED WITH THE ENGINE TURNED
OFF AND IN OPEN AIR.
120

Refueling at the end of the day

The tractor fuel tanks should always be filled at the end of the day.
This is to avoid condensation forming in the tanks overnight.
Empty space in the fuel tank is a major cause of water in the fuel system.
Drain plug
The fuel tank drain plug is located on the bottom of the tank.
After draining the tank and replacing the drain plug, fill the tank and check
the condition of the drain plug seal.
DANGER: WHEN HANDLING BATTERIES:

- AVOID BREATHING IN FUMES PRODUCED BY THE ACID
SOLUTION (if the acid is accidentally swallowed, drink plenty of wa-
ter or milk, then drink beaten eggs or vegetal oil; seek medical atten-
tion immediately)
- USE THE APPROPRIATE PROCEDURE WHEN CHARGING
- CLEAN ALL PARTS WHERE ACID SOLUTION MIGHT HAVE
SPILLED. IF IT SPILLS ON THE HANDS, NEUTRALIZE IT WITH
HYDRATED LIME OR SODIUM BICARBONATE. IF IT HITS THE EYES,
RINSE REPEATEDLY FOR 10-15 MINUTES, THEN SEEK MEDICAL
ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY.

always be kept clean.
Clean the grille with a compressed air jet, blowing air through the grille
from the inside to the outside.
Removing the side panels
To remove the side panels,

unscrew the two retaining knobs
and pull the panels outwards.
Warning: check that the gasket

around the bulkhead separating
the front compartment from the
engine is in good condition and
correctly fitted. This is important
to ensure correct operation of
both the engine cooling system
and the oil coolers located in the
front compartment. Renew the
gasket if necessary.
123

Checking the engine oil level

Start the engine and allow it to run for few minutes; then switch the engine
off, wait for about one minute, then check the oil level.
Pull the dipstick out, wipe it

with a clean, lint-free cloth,
reinsert it and pull it out
once again to read the oil
level.
If the level lies between the

t w o not ches on t he
dispstick, it is correct.
If the oil requires topping

up, unscrew the oil filler cap
and top up with oil of the
specified quality to the top
notch on the dipstick.
DANGER: RISK OF BURNS WHEN THE ENGINE IS HOT; ALLOW THE

E N G I N E TO CO O L B E F O R E S E RV I C E , I N S P E C T I O N O R
ADJUSTMENT.
Changing the engine oil

NOTE: Take care when draining oil from the engine sump, as hot oil can
cause serious burns.
Collect and store used oil in suitable containers before taking it to an
authorized collection centre.
124

DANGER: FLUIDS THAT ARE UNDER PRESSURE CAN PENETRATE

HUMAN TISSUE CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY. IT IS RECOMMENDED
TO ALWAYS STOP THE ENGINE AND RELIEVE THE PRESSURE
BEFORE CONNECTING OR DISCONNECTING LINES.
Proceed as follows:
Unscrew the oil drain plug

located on the sump under
the filler cap.
Renew the engine oil filters following the instructions given below.
• When all the oil has drained from the sump, inspect the drain plug
seal and, if necessary, renew it before replacing the drain plug.
• Pour oil of the prescribed quality into the sump through the oil filler
until the level reaches the upper notch on the dipstick.
• Run the engine for a few minutes and check the seals around the
oil drain plug and the new oil filter.
• Check the oil level again and top up if necessary.
DANGER: TAKE CARE WHEN DRAINING OIL FROM THE ENGINE

SUMP, AS HOT OIL CAN CAUSE SERIOUS BURNS.
WARNING: COLLECT AND STORE USED OIL IN SUITABLE

CONTAINERS BEFORE TAKING IT TO AN AUTHORIZED
COLLECTION CENTRE.
125

Changing the engine oil filters

• Position a suitable receptacle under the filters.
• Unscrew the two filter car-
tridges.
• Oil the new filter cartridges
using the same oil as that
used in the engine.
• Screw the new cartridges
on by hand.
• On starting the engine,
check for leaks around the
cartridge seals.
• Check the engine oil level.
Changing the fuel filters
• Position a suitable recepta-

cle/container under the fil-
ters.
• Unscrew the cartridges and
replace with new original
cartridges of the same type.
• Check that the seal betwe-

en the new cartridges and
the cover is perfect.
Draining water from the fuel filter
Always drain the water from the

fuel filter before putting the
tractor back into service after
the winter season.
Drain the water from the fuel filter operating on the valve lacated under the
filter and wait until fuel only is draining out.
126

Draining the water from the fuel prefilter

Always drain the water from the fuel prefilter before putting the tractor back
into service after winter storage.
Proceed as follows:
• Place a container un-

der the filter.
• Undo screw C and al-
low all the water in trap
B to drain out.
• Re-tighten screw C.
NOTE: Before fitting the fuel filters, fill the bowl with diesel fuel.
Bleeding air from the fuel system

This operation must be carried out when air has entered the fuel circuits as
a result of the disassembly of fuel system components, running out of fuel
or leaks around fuel line fittings.
When air is in the fuel system, the engine either fails to start completely or
stops once it has started.
To bleed the air from the system,

loosen off the screw located on
top of the fuel filter and operate
the fuel pump manually until the
fuel that appears is free from air
bubbles.
WARNING: THE SHOCK ADSORBERS HAVE INSIDE GAS OR OIL

UNDER PRESSURE. BEFORE ANY REPAIR OPERATION, READ
CAREFULLY THE WORKSHOP MANUAL OF THE MAKER.
127

N.B. - The fuel pump lever should offer some resistance when operated by
hand. If not, turn over the starter motor in order to determine the pump
priming position (cams on camshaft at top dead centre).
Only if necessary, loosen the fittings on the fuel lines at the injectors and
operate the starter motor until the fuel flowing from the fittings is free from
air bubbles. Re-tighten the fittings to the specified torque value.
The fuel feed pump, mounted on the timing cover, does not normally
require any maintenance; in case of fuel supply problems, remove and
clean (or renew) the internal filter and the valves.
Fuel
We recommend that you use only commercial brands of diesel fuel which
have a sulphur content of 0.5% or less.
If you use a fuel with a sulphur content that exceeds 0.5%, the oil change
intervals indicated in this manual must be halved.
WARNING: “PAPER” FILTER IS NOT SUITABLE FOR THE

TREATMENT OF PESTICIDES AND SO MUST BE REPLACED BY AN
“ACTIVE CARBON” FILTER AVAILABLE OPTIONALLY.
ONCE THE PESTICIDE TREATMENT IS FINISHED, IT IS NECESSARY
TO ONCE AGAIN REPLACE THE “ACTIVE CARBON” FILTER WITH
THE PAPER FILTER, SINCE THIS IS THE ONLY TYPE SUITED FOR
FILTERING FOREIGN PARTICLES FROM THE AIR.
WARNING: DIESEL FUEL OR HYDRAULIC FLUID UNDER

WARNING: DO NOT SMOKE OR LIGHT MATCHES WHEN SERVICING

OR BLEEDING FUEL SYSTEM.
128

Air filter
Air filtering occurs by means of a folded paper element protected by a
container and held in a sheet metal cylinder.
WARNING: the internal cartridge of the filter does not perform any
filtration function. Its function is to prevent solid particles from entering the
inlet manifold when the filter cartridge is removed. The inner safety
element should never be cleaned but only replaced every three cleanings
of the main cartridge.
Periodically: check the efficiency of the air filter dust exhausting valve.
Engine front compartment

1 - Air filter
2 - Engine water radiator
3 - Dust exauste valve
4 - Transmission oil radiator and hydrostatic steering
NOTE: Check regularly that the engine air cleaner casing and element are
not damaged. Do not wash or brush the element.
NOTE: Periodically inspect air cleaner housing and element.
NOTE: The small inner secondary safety filter must never be used without
the larger outer primary filter being in place. The purpose of the secondary
safety filter is to serve as a backup to the primary and prevent dust or other
items from entering while the primary is being cleaned or replaced.
129

Cleaning the air filter

Clean the filtering element whenever the air filter warning light
comes on.
Important
It is important to make sure that the warning light is always working
correctly. To check its operation, start the engine and temporarily obstruct
the air filter intake tube (do not use your hands). The filtering element must
always be in perfect working order; if not, clean, wash or replace it.
Cleaning the filter using compressed air

This is the correct cleaning method to use when the filter is clogged with
dust. Direct a jet of compressed air (max. pressure 6.8 bar/98 psi) from the
inside to the outside of the element, moving the jet along the pleats in the
paper until all the dust is removed.
Washing the filter element in water

This cleaning method is particularly recommended when the the filter
element is clogged with oil substances. Wash the element using a jet of
clean water (max. pressure 2.9 bar/42 psi) directed from the inside to the
outside of the element. Leave the element to dry in a dust free
environment for 24 hours.
Refitting the element

Wipe out the air filter casing with a dry rag, and check that the element is
not deformed. Hold a light inside the paper element to check for tears or
holes in the paper fabric.
The filter element must be replaced after being cleaned 6 times, unless
any small holes or tears are detected sooner, in which case it must be
renewed immediately.
The inner safety element must never be cleaned. It must, however, be
replaced after the main element has been cleaned 3 times.
NOTE: Never use gasoline (petrol), kerosene or cleaning solvents to clean

the element.
- do not attempt to blow the main element clean using tractor exhaust gases.
- never add oil to the dry air filter element.
- filter must be serviced when warning indicator pilot light comes on,
otherwise engine could lose power and damage to engine could occur.
- never use a filter that shows sign of damage.
If in doubt, replace the filter.

Engine cooling system

REQUIRED.
Checking the level of coolant in the expansion tank
The coolant level should be

about halfway up the side of
the expansion tank, never
b el o w t h e mi n i mu m
mark.
We recommend the use of
l i qui d cool ant AKR O S
FREEZE.
N.B.- The cooling circuit operates under pressure; the pressure is

controlled by way of the radiator cap which should never be removed
when the engine is hot.
Excess pressure is removed by turning the radiator cap to the first position
and then removing it completely.
AKROS FREEZE liquid coolant

Coolant/antifreeze mixture.
This mixture, in addition to preventing freezing at temperatures down to
-38°C (-36.4°F), offers protection against oxidisation, corrosion, foaming
and encrustation.
WARNING: ALWAYS USE THE 100% OF PERMANENT TYPE

ANTI-FREEZE “AKROS FREEZE” AVAILABLE FROM YOUR
DEALER, NEVER THE ALCOHOL TYPE ANTI-FREEZE.
132

Changing the coolant/antifreeze mixture and flushing the cooling

system
Clean the cooling system using a specific detergent.
Proceed as follows:
– Drain the engine coo-

ling system by opening
the drain cock on the
left-hand side of the en-
gine;
– Drain the radiator by removing the the drain plug on the bottom
left-hand side;
– Fill the system with the detergent mixture (if the tractor is equipped
with a cab heater, this should be set to maximum heating so that the
detergent mixture also circulates through the heat exchanger);
– Start the engine and allow to it run for approx. one and a half hours.
– Drain the system and then fill it with water; then start the engine again,
bring it up to a speed of approx. 1000 rpm and leave it running for 5 mi-
nutes.
– Drain the system once again.
– Refill with AKROS FREEZE, run the engine for a few minutes and
then top up the system.
Thermostat
There are two thermostats in the cooling system that prevent the
coolant from circulating in the radiator until it has reached a sufficiently
high temperature (approx. 85°C/185°F).
If you are in any doubt as to whether a thermostat is functioning correctly,
have it checked by qualified personnel.
WARNING: DO NOT REMOVE RADIATOR CAP WHILE ENGINE IS

HOT. RADIATOR IS PRESSURIZED AND IF OPENED WHILE HOT,
STEAM AND BOILING LIQUID WILL BE SPRAYED OUT, WHICH MAY
INJURY YOU AND OTHERS WHICH MAY BE CLOSE BY. THERE CAN
ALSO BE A EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF COOLANT LOSS.

Cleaning the oil cooler
In the front compartment under the engine hood there is a single

radiator/cooler that is internally divided into three separate parts for
cooling the engine, transmission and front PTO oil.
Once the hood has been raised and the right-hand side panel removed,
the oil cooler can be easily tipped forward for cleaning by loosening to the
two side catches (rh/lh).
135

The oil cooler can be cleaned with a compressed air jet, or, if necessary, a
steam jet (max. pressure 6 bar/87 psi) or a water jet.
If the engine is to be cleaned at the same time, protect the air filter, the
alternator and the starter motor.
Once all the components have been replaced, run the engine for a few
minutes so that it heats up and dries any parts still wet.
Cleaning with detergents
If you use detergents to clean the oil cooler, use commercial products that
dissolve oil.
The detegrent can be mixed with water for application by spray gun or
brush.
After applying the solution, wait after few minutes, then rinse off with clean
water.
Cleaning with compressed air
This operation is only suitable for removing dust. When cleaning the grilles
or cab filter screens, make sure that the compressed air jet is directed in
the opposite direction to the normal air flow.
Important: failure to keep the oil cooler clean can lead to overheating of
the lubricated parts.
Warning: every time you clean the tractor, observe the applicable
regulations for environmental protection.
CAUTION: INSPECT THE DRIVE BELTS OVER THEIR ENTIRE

LENGTH. IF DAMAGED OR CRACKED, RENEW IMMEDIATELY.

Air conditioning system check

• to be carried out every year at a specialised service centre
Any air and water in the refrigerant circuit will impair the efficiency of the
system:
– the air is compressed unnecessarily and does not produce any refri-
gerating effect.
– water tends to freeze in the coldest parts of the circuit and thereby cre-
ate obstructions that impair the cooling action.
The system check begins

by inspecting the condition
of the refrigerant through
the inspection window on
top of the receiver-drier.
The refrigerant, as seen
t hr ough t he i nspect i on
window, should be clear
and free of bubbles.
Check that the compressor is firmly fixed to the tractor and that the pulleys
are perfectly aligned.
IMPORTANT - Should it be necessary to remove the receiver-drier or the

air conditioning unit, immediately plug the ends of the inlet and outlet pipes
to prevent the ingress of dust or humidity.
157

Air conditioning system compressor

The compressor must be securely fixed to the tractor.
The refrigerant circuit is pressurized and therefore must never be opened

except by specialized service technician.
The ecological refrigerant R 134a is non-toxic and odourless, and is not

inflammable.
However, there are certain essential safety precautions when handling

refrigerant:
• Avoid direct contact with skin, as this can cause lesions similare to
frostbite.
• Avoid contact with eyes; should the refrigerant enter your eyes,
seek medical assistance immediately.
• Any welding either directly on the refrigerant circuit or in the imme-
diate vicinity is strictly prohibited. The refrigerant must not be be
exposed to temperatures in excess of 80°C (176°F).
WARNING: CONTACT WITH REFRIGERANT CAN CAUSE SEVERE

SKIN LESIONS. IN CASE OF CONTACT WITH THE EYES, DO NOT
RUB EYES, SEEK IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ASSISTANCE.

General cleaning of the tractor
Clean the tractor with a steam or water jet (do not exceed 6 bar/87 psi).
Protect all the decals containing safety or service information. Should any
of the decals become illegible, have them replaced immediately.
If you intend to clean the engine at the same time, protect the air filter,
alternator and starter motor.
After replacing any parts you removed prior to cleaning, run the engine for
a few minutes to dry off any wet components.
Cleaning with detergents

Choose commercial products that dissolve oil.
The detergent/water solution can be applied by spray gun or brush.
After applying the solution, wait a few minutes then rinse with clean water.

Headlight alignment
The tractor must be in normal road-going conditions and parked on a level
surface at a distance of 10 m (32.8 ft) from a wall (tyres must be inflated to
the correct pressures and the front wheels must be positioned for travel in
a straight line).
Switch on the dipped beam headlights.
h = 10 cm
m

X=
H
1 - points on the wall corresponding to the centres of the headlights

A - distance apart of headlights
H - height of headlights
h - distance of the centre of the beam from the horizontal axis
X - distance between headlights and wall
171

Turn the adjuster screws indicated by the arrows in the figure to move the
beam in a vertical or horizontal direction.
NOTE: in order to determine the points on the wall corresponding to the

centres of the headlights, we recommend that you bring the tractor up to
the wall with the dipped headlights on, mark the centres on the wall and
then move back to a distance of 10 m (32.8 ft) from the wall.
Horizontal adjustment
With the headlights switched on, the centres of the beams should be apart
the distance A indicated in the figure.
Vertical adjustment
With the headlights on, the lines delimiting the light and dark zones on the
wall should 10cm (3.9 in) apart as shown in the figure.
IMPORTANT: The figure refers to headlight alignment for driving on the

right-hand side of the road. For driving on the left-hand side of the road, the
dark beam zone projected on the wall must be symmetrical to that shown
in the figure (i.e. the points of the dark zone that penetrate the light zone
must always be directed towards the edge of the road).

SECTION VII STORAGE OF THE TRACTOR
SECTION 7 - STORAGE OF THE

TRACTOR
Operations prior to garaging the tractor for a long period
for example, before winter
If the tractor is not to be used for a long period, we recommend that you
carry out the following operations to prevent certain components from
deteriorating during storage.
– Run engine to thoroughly warm oil in crankcase. Drain oil and install
new filter element. Refill crankcase with fresh oil as recommended in
Specification section.
– Top up the cooling system radiator with the prescribed coolant with
anti-freeze and anti-corrosion properties.
– Fill the fuel tank completely to prevent the condensation forming insi-
de the tank.
– Start the engine and check that the fuel system and the injection
system are functioning correctly.
– Check that the fuel filters are clean.
– Slightly loosen the fuel filler cap and the radiator cap so that the relati-
ve seals are not kept under pressure.
– Clean the air filter element. Lubricate the tractor as specified in the
maintenance schedule.
– Remove the battery from the tractor and clean the two terminals (posi-
tive/negative).
– The battery should be charged and then stored in a cool, dry place.

DECALS.
173

SECTION VII STORAGE OF THE TRACTOR
– Cover the exhaust pipe with a plastic sheet held in place with adhesive
tape. The tractor must be completely clean; touch-up any scratches in
the paintwork to prevent rust from forming.
– Apply a layer of grease to exposed metal surfaces as a protection aga-

inst rust.
The tractor should be stored in a suitable garage, and preferably not

exposed to dust. If the tractor has to be stored outside, cover it with a
sheet.
IMPORTANT: do not leave the tractor idle for a long period without having
first carried out the operations listed above.
Preparing the tractor for use after a long period of storage
– Remove the tractor from the wheel stands (if used).
– Remove the cover sheet (if any);
– Remove the cover from the exhaust.
– Charge and refit the battery (follow the instructions given in this
manual).
– Start the engine and allow to tick over slowly for a few minutes.
– Do not use the throttle until you are sure that the engine is running cor-
rectly.
– Carry out all the operations prescribed in this manual for the start of
the working season; the tractor will then be ready to be put back into
service.

Attachment of implements to the tractor
To allow full use in the widest possible range of applications, the structural
frame of the tractor has been designed to afford a solid, safe mounting for
agricultural or semi-industrial implements.
Before attaching particularly heavy implements to the tractor, please

consult your SAME service centre.
There may be special applications in which the tyres the tractor was
equipped with may not be suitable. In those special applications, it is
recommend that your SAME dealer be consulted before a different tyre
combination is installed other than what has been approved in the tyre
section of this manual.
Before attaching the implement, check that the tyres are capable of
supporting the load.
Check the markings on the walls of the tyres and consult the tyre
manufacturer’s load tables.

SECTION IX FAULT DIAGNOSIS
SECTION 9 - FAULT DIAGNOSIS

Engine
Engine fails to turn over when starter operated
– Check battery charge level:
• If discharged, re-charge, otherwise clean the terminals and check
that the battery is properly installed.
– Faulty starter motor; have the defective parts replaced by an auto

electrician.
Engine difficult to start, or fails to re-start once stopped

– Check fuel level; inspect fuel filter and renew if necessary.
– Injection system faulty:
• Check for air in the fuel system and bleed if necessary. If the pro-
blem persists, check the calibration of the injection pump and the in-
jectors.
– Check the thermostarter; clean or replace as necessary.
– Poor compression: (operations to be carried out by a specialised ser-

vice centre only) check the valve clearances (0.2 mm/0.008 in - for en-
gine with air cooling system - 0.3 mm/0.012 in - for engine with water
cooling system). Inspect the valves and grind or replace as necessary.
Check head gasket and piston rings. If necessary, replace pistons and
cylinder liners.
White smoke from exhaust

– Check injection pump timing (operation to be carried out by a speciali-
sed service centre). Check valve stem to valve guide clearance. If the
problem persists, check piston rings and cylinder liners for wear and
replace if necessary.
– Inspect injectors (operation to be carried out by a specialised service

centre).

DECALS.
188

Dark smoke from exhaust

– Check that the air filter element is clean:
• Clean or replace as necessary. Check the efficiency of the injec-
tors and calibrate if necessary. Check the calibration of the electro-
nic rpm control (operation to be carried out by a specialised
service centre).
Engine does not respond well to sudden acceleration

– Inspect the air filter element:
• Clean or replace as necessary.
– Inspect the fuel filter:

• Replace if necessary and bleed air from the system if necessary.
– Poor compression:
• Check valve clearances are (0.2 mm/0.008 in - for engine with air
cooling system - 0.3 mm/0.012 in - for engine with water cooling
system) in (operation to be carried out by a specialised service
centre); grind or replace valves as necessary. If the problem per-
sists, check piston rings and cylinder liners for wear and replace if
necesssary.
The engine does not run at a constant speed

– Check for water in the fuel system:
• Drain the fuel tanks and refill with clean fuel.
• Check the calibration of the injectors (operation to be carried out
by a specialised service centre).
Engine overheats
– Check drivebelt tensions:
• Adjust drivebelt tensions. Clean air intake grilles.

IMPORTANT! ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Combination of tractor and mounted implement

APPENDIX Combination of tractor and mounted implement
Combination of tractor and mounted implement

The mounting of implements on the front or rear three
point linkage shall not result in exceeding the
maximum permissible weight, the permissible axle
loads and the tyre load carrying capacities of the
tractor. The front axle of the tractor must always to be
loaded with at least 20% of the unladen weight of the
tractor.
Make sure before buying an implement that
these conditions are fulfilled by carrying out the
following calculations or by weighing the
tractor/implement combination.
Determination of the total weight, the axle loads, the tyre load car-
rying capacity and the necessary minimum ballasting
For the calculation you need the following data and see the table of page E:
T [kg (lb)] Unladen weight of tractor
L
T [kg (lb)] Front axle load of unladen tractor

V
T [kg (lb)] Rear axle load of unladen tractor

H
G [kg (lb)] Combined weight of rear mounted implement/rear ballast

H
G [kg (lb)] Combined weight of front mounted implement/front ballast

V
a [mm (in)] Distance from centre of gravity for combined front

mounte dimplement/front ballast to front axle centre
b [mm (in)] Tractor wheelbase
c [mm (in)] Distance from rear axle centre to centre of lower link balls
d [mm (in)] Distance from centre of lower link balls to centre of gravity
for combined rear mounted implement/rear ballast

Consideration of rear mounted implement and front/rear combinations

1 ) Calculation of minimum ballasting at the front GV min
Record the calculated minimum ballasting which is needed at the front of

the tractor into the table.
Front mounted implement

2) Calculation of the minimum ballasting at the rear GH min
Record the calculated minimum ballasting which is needed at the rear of

the tractor into the table.
3) Calculation of the real front axle load T V tot

(If with the front mounted implement (G V) the required minimum front
ballasting (G V min ), cannot be reached, the weight of the front mounted
implement has to be increased to the weight of the minimum ballasting at
the front!)
Record the calculated real front axle load and the permissible front axle
load of the tractor into the table.
4) Calculation of the real total weight Gtot

(If with the rear mounted implement (G H ) the required minimum rear
ballasting (G H min) cannot be reached, the weight of the rear mounted
implements has to be increased to at least the weight of the minimum
ballasting at the rear!)
Record the calculated real and the permissible total weight given in the
instruction handbook for the tractor into the table.

5) Calculation of the real rear axle load T H tot
Record the calculated real and the permissible rear axle load given in the
instruction handbook for the tractor into the table.
6) Tyre load carrying capacity
Record double the value (two tyres) of the permissible load carrying
capacity into the table (see for instance documentation provided by the
tyre manufacturer).
Real value Permissible value Double permissible
