2.8 SAFETY ALERT SYMBOLS AND TERMS
This safety alert symbol means ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!

The safety alert symbol identifies important safety messages on machines, safety signs, in manuals
or elsewhere. When you see this symbol, be alert to the possibility of personal injury or death.

Why is SAFETY important to you? *ACCIDENT DISABLE and KILL*

* ACCIDENTS are COSTLY * * ACCIDENTS can be AVOIDED*

SAFETY: TRACTOR and IMPLEMENT

! The tractor is a source of power: Both 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.

 SAFETY NOTES
2.14 SAFETY FRAME
A Safety Structure and seat belt is fitted as standard
equipment to the platform tractor at the time of factory
assembly. If the safety frame was deleted by the
original purchaser or has been removed, it is
recommended that you equip your tractor with a
Safety Structure and a seat belt. Safety frames are
effective in reducing injuries during overturn
accidents. A tractor overturning without safety frame
can result in serious injury or death (fig.2-1)
Depending on laws in force in the various markets, a
seat may be installed. Always raise the safety frame
before may be installed. Always raise the safety frame
before fastening the seat belt.
If a fold-down safety frame is installed. DO NOT wear a
seat belt when the safety frame is in folded down
position. NEVER keep the safety frame in the folded
down position when working with the tractor.
Operation:
! Before using the tractor ensure that the safety
frame is not damaged, that it is securely fastened to
the tractor, and, if a hinged section is fitted, that it is in Fig. 2-1
the raised position and secured.
! If the safety frame has been removed from the
tractor, or folded down for a specific operation, it must
be refitted or erected immediately using the proper
hardware and applying the recommended torque
value.
! DO NOT ATTACH chains, ropes or cables to the
safety frame for pulling purposes; this will cause the
tractor to tip backwards. Always pull from the tractor
drawbar.
! If a seat belt is installed, always wear your seat
belt-adjusted snugly except when operating with a
folded down safety frame or if the safety frame has
been removed (Fig. 2-2)
! Check the seat belt for damage. A damaged seat
belt must be replaced (Fig. 2-2).
Damage to the safety frame
If the tractor has rolled over or the safety frame has
been damaged (such as striking an overhead object
during transport), the safety frame must be replaced to Fig. 2-2
provide the original degree of protection.
After an accident, check for damage to the safety
frame operator's seat, seat belt and seat mountings.
Before you operate the tractor, replace all damaged
parts.
DO NOT WELD, DRILL, BEND OR STRAIGHTEN
THE SAFETY FRAME. IF DONE, reduce the
protection it offers.

2.22 SAFETY: STARTING
Warn bystanders before starting:
Before starting, Walk all 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 in
a safe position before starting the engine.
Mount and dismount properly:
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. Fig. 2-10
Clean the soles of your shoes and wipe your hands
before climbing on. Use handrails, grip handrails,
ladders or steps (as provided) when mounting or
dismounting.
NEVER use control levers as a hand hold and
NEVER step on foot controls when mounting or
dismounting.

NEVER attempt to mount or dismount from a moving

tractor. NEVER jump off a tractor in any
circumstances.

Start safely.
WARNING : Before starting the engine, make
sure there is plenty of ventilation. Never
operate the engine in a closed building. The
exhaust fumes may cause asphyxiation (fig.2-10).

Always start the engine from the operator's seat with

all the transmission levers and PTO lever in neutral. Fig. 2-11

2.28 Risk of overturning
For your safety, it is recommended that all platform
tractors are fitted with safety frame and seat belts
(Fig.2-18)
In the event of overturning with a tractor fitted with
a safety frame, hold the steering wheel firmly and DO (Fig. 2-17)
NOT attempt to leave the seat until the tractor has
come to rest. (fig. 2-18).
2.29 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 loose steering
control.
! DON'T pull a load too heavy for your tractor. It
could run away on the down slope or the tractor
could jackknife 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
you would use to up the slope. Shift into gear
before you start downhill. (Fig. 2-18)
! Engine four-wheel drive (if fitted), this will give

 SAFETY NOTES
2.30 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 into place.

High hitching can cause rear overturn, which

may cause serious injury or death. Hitch loads
to the drawbar only.

When using a three-point linkage drawbar, the

stays must be fitted and kept in the down (Fig.2-24)
position.

Use front counterweights to increase tractor

stability when towing a heavy load or to counter
balance a heavy rear mounted implement
(Fig.2-24).

DO NOT overload your tractor and DO NOT

ballast it beyond its carrying capacity. Never
add ballast weight to counterbalance an
overload. Reduce the load instead (Fig.2-25).

WARNING : An overload is always

dangerous. Check the loading capacity
of your tractor and NEVER overload
(Fig.2-25).

(Fig.2-25)

20
 SAFETY NOTES

If the front end of the tractor starts to lift,

reduce your speed and, if necessary, disengage the
clutch (Fig. 2 26).

If your tractor is bogged down in the mud or

frozen to the ground, DO NOT attempt to drive
forwards. The tractor can rotate around its rear
wheels and overturn (Fig. 2 26).Lift any attached
implement and attempt to BACK OUT. If this is not
possible, tow it out with another vehicle.
(Fig.2-26)

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 (Fig.2-27 and 2-28).

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 a tractor with rear mounted

(Fig.2-27)
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

down hill Never permit the tractor to coast with
clutch disengaged or transmission in neutral

 OPERATION
4.24 Precautions when using the PTO
WARNING : PTO shafts and implements
operated by means of the PTO can be 2
extremely dangerous. It is therefore advisable
to comply with the following important
instructions:
WARNING : NEVER operate without the PTO
cap (1-Fig 4-12) or shield (2-Fig.4-12).These
parts protect persons from injuries and the
shaft splines from damage.
WARNING : Before connecting adjusting or 1
working on implements operated by the PTO,
disengage the PTO, stop the engine, remove
Fig. 4-12
the key from the dashboard and engage the
parking brake. Do not work under raised
implements.
WARNING : Check to make sure that all
implements operated by the PTO are fitted with
the correct protections, are in a good condition
and comply with the provisions established by
law.
WARNING : Before driving an implement
through the PTO, ALWAYS make sure that all
bystanders are well away from the tractor.
WARNING : Fix the drawbar in the central
position when using implements that are
driven by the PTO of the tractor.
WARNING : When using the PTO drive with a
stationary tractor, ALWAYS make sure that the
gears are in neutral and that the parking brake
is applied.
WARNING : Before starting up any PTO-
driven implement hitched to the three-point
linkage, lift the implement to its full height using
position control and check that at least 1/4 of
the total length of the telescopic section of the
drive shaft is engaged.
4.25 Use in paddy fields
When using the tractor in water-logged soil or in
paddy fields where the water level could rise above
the height of the PTO shaft, ask your dealer for
instructions on all necessary waterproofing and
sealing measures. If such measures are not taken,
the guarantee could be rendered invalid.

44
 OPERATION

4.26 Service Brake

The main brakes are operated by means of two pedals
(1-Fig.4-13), one for each rear wheel. Braking on one
side assists steering in tight maneuvers. By locking
rear wheel on the inside of curve, you can virtually turn
the tractor around on its own axis. For simultaneous
braking during normal use and for on road use, simply
lock the two pedals together with the special brake
coupling Iock (2-Fig. 4-13). 1
WARNING: Always keep the brake pedals
coupled for on-road driving to ensure
simultaneous braking on both rear wheels.
Never use the brakes independently when 2
driving on public roads.
WARNING: If you ever notice the brakes
becoming less effective, identify the cause
immediately and repair. When working on Fig. 4-13
slopes avoid using the brakes as much as
possible and select a lower gear in order to
use engine braking.
4.27 Parking Brake
The Parking brake is engaged by the hand lever (1 -
Fig.4 -14) which acts on the brake discs by means of
a mechanical control.
Parking brake engagement: 2

- Pull the lever (1-Fig. 4.14) completely to operate
the parking Brake.
- If this is not the case, pull the parking brake lever
with higher force.
Note: The indicator light in the instrument panel lights
up when the parking brake is engaged, independently
of the force used for the engagement. Fig. 4-14

Before starting the tractor, shift into gear and release 4.28 Parking brake release:
the parking brake. -Pull the lever lightly (1), push down the button (2), let
the lever down and release the button (Fig. 4.14)
If Equipped. WARNING : Always engage the hand brake
when the tractor is used for work at a standstill,
even if only for brief periods of time.
IMPORTANT : Driving the tractor with the
parking brake partially engaged will cause
damage to internal transmission components.
Make sure the brake is fully off.

45
 OPERATION

4.29 Differential lock

The rear axle differential is equipped with a
locking device to engage when one of the rear
wheels slips owing to lack of grip. To lock the
differential, slow the tractor down and fully
depress the pedal 1 (Fig. 4-15).
NOTE: For the best results, engage the diff lock
before the wheels are likely to slip. Do not engage
the diff lock while one of the wheels is actually
slipping. Do not lock the differential without
having first depressed the clutch pedal.
The differential must remain locked until the
1
driving wheels regain their grip. To disengage the
lock, just remove your foot from the pedal (1). If
the differential fails to release, sharply brake on Fig. 4-15
the wheels. Brake the wheel that is out of the
furrow during ploughing work.

WARNING : Never use the diff lock when

driving the tractor on public roads.

4.30 Front Drive (4 WD)

The purpose of the front drive is to increase
traction on broken ground, mud and slippery
surfaces etc. The control lever 1 , Fig. 4-16) is 1
used to engage and disengage the front drive.
Both maneuvers can be carried out whilst the
tractor is driving in a straight line and never under
stress.
NOTE: Only use fourwheel drive when strictly
necessary. Avoid use of 4WD when maximum
traction is not required, e.g. on hard ground,
roads, etc., since this would only increase tyre
wear unnecessarily. Always leave the 4WD lever
Fig. 4-16
engaged when parking on slopes with the trailer
connected.
WARNING : Never use the 4WD engaged
while driving at Higher speeds. Always
use only when high traction is required.

steps of 100 mm (3.94") each.
Proceed in the following way to adjust track
width (Fig.4-17 and 4-18)
! Jack up the front axle.
! Unscrew and remove the nuts, bolts (1) and
washers that hold the sliding ends.
! Remove the bolts (2) that fasten the track rod
Fig. 4-17
clamps.
! Slide the RH end sideways and fix it at the
required track width.
! Repeat the same operation for the LH end. The
position of the hydraulic steering cylinder must
also be adjusted by moving the support.
The wheel nuts should be fastened to a torque of
140 Nm.

Fig. 4-18

4.32 Adjusting the max. Steering angle

for 4WD axle

The maximum steering angle of the 4WD front axle

can be varied depending on the type of tyre mounted
and the way the tractor is used. The angle is changed
by adjusting the stop screw 1 (Fig.4-19) on the final
drive of the axle.
This adjustment is very useful when adopting
minimum track since it prevents the wheels from
interfering with the engine housing.

To obtain maximum efficiency, do not use tyres with
more than 30-50% wear.
NOTE : If the tractor is not going to be used for a
long period of time, support it on raised blocks to
remove the load from the tyres.
NOTE : Avoid parking the tractor on floors which
are covered with oil or diesel fuel. Also avoid
parking the tractor where the tyres are
permanently exposed to direct sunlight,
especially if the tractor is not going to be used for
some time.

 OPERATION

4.38 Ballasting the front axle

If heavy implements that might destabilize the
tractor are hitched to the lift, cast iron plates can be
added to the front end to counterbalance their
weight (Fig. 4-24)
The plates have handles so that they can be
mounted and demounted more easily.
They should be applied to the support and fixed with
the relative rods.

IMPORTANT:
! Do not ballast the tractor over its rated
carrying weight.
! When using the tractor for light work,
transport and on road towing, remove the
ballast to avoid unnecessary strain on the
mechanical components.
! With semi-mounted and fully mounted
implements (which inevitably increase the
load on the rear axle of the tractor), Ballast
must only be used when strictly necessary.
There is no point in increasing grip beyond

The tractor can be equipped with a class A tow hook
(Fig 6-3), composed of sector and a drawbar designed
only for agricultural implements and toiler with two or
more axles.

Never use this type of attachment to tow single axle

implements and trailers because they can apply
enough weight to the drawbar to pitch the tractor up at
the front.

The drawbar (1) can be adjusted in the height for

proper coupling both to trailed implements and PTO
driven implements.

There are two possible adjustments:

! The bar can be rotated so that clevis is oriented Fig.6-3 - Class A rear tow hook 1 - Drawbar
upward and downward;
! Turning point on the sector of the tractor's
support can be varied.

Moreover, the sector of the towing jig allow for an

ample horizontal adjustment at the bar, as required by
implements that need free swinging.

Warning : When implements connected to the

PTO are used, the drawbar must be regulated
in the height so that it is between 150 and 300
mm (from 5.91 to 11.82 in) below the axis of the
