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.

XII
SECTION I SAFETY/DECALS/SYMBOL

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
through your working day.
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.

XIV
SECTION I SAFETY/DECALS/SYMBOL

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 oper-
ate your tractor. Keep oth-
ers away from your area of
work.

Securely fasten your seat


belt when the tractor has a
ROPS (Roll Over Protective
Structure) frame in the up-
right position or is fitted with
a cab.

Before starting the engine,


check that all the tractor
controls are in neutral posi-
tion. This is to prevent acci-
dental movement of the
vehicle or the starting of
tractor-driven implements.

ONLY operate the controls


when seated in the drivers
seat.

XV
SECTION I SAFETY/DECALS/SYMBOL

Always use the seat belt.


When used correctly, it can
help you drive in safety. En-
sure 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 link-
age 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, embank-


ments 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 imple-
ment 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 disen-
gaged or the gearbox in neutral.

XVI
SECTION I SAFETY/DECALS/SYMBOL

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 acci-
dents.

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 de-


signed 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 brak-
ing). 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 regula-
tions. 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 ma-
noeuvre.Ensure that all the lights on the tractor are kept clean.

Use the bolt provided to lock the two brake pedals together when trav-
elling 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 al-
ways 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 un-
til all the moving parts of the implement have come to a complete
standstill.

XVII
SECTION I SAFETY/DECALS/SYMBOL

Alighting from the driving position when the engine is running, al-
though 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 sur-
face, 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


c a u s e s e v e r e in j u r y.
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 pressur-
ised 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 IMME-
DIATELY.

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 corro-
sive 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.

XVIII
SECTION I SAFETY/DECALS/SYMBOL

DO NOT use elastic materi-


als 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 posi-
tion 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 near-
est Assistance Service cen-
tre.

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.

XIX
SECTION I SAFETY/DECALS/SYMBOL

Avoid contact with pesticides. Tractor cabs, when fitted, do NOT pro-
tect you against inhaling dangerous pesticides. Meticulously follow
the manufacturers instructions for using and handling pesticides. Al-
ways wear the required personal protective equipment (respirator,
face mask, etc.) even in the cab.

Certain tractor models are


equipped with speed mea-
s u r e m e n t r a d a r. Ev e n
though these radar systems
emit only low intensity radio RA
waves, NEVER look directly DA
R

at the device when it is oper-


ating.

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 tractors 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 per-
form 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 inflamma-
ble fluids to spray out and
cause serious burns to you
and others nearby.

XX
SECTION I SAFETY/DECALS/SYMBOL

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 after-
wards using the proper hardware and applying the recommended
torque values.

DO NOT attach chains, ropes, or cables to the ROPS for pulling pur-
poses; 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 re-
placed.

XXI
SECTION I SAFETY/DECALS/SYMBOL

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, operators 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 operators 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 re-
placed.

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.

XXII
SECTION I SAFETY/DECALS/SYMBOL

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 ex-
pressed 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.

XXIII
SECTION I SAFETY/DECALS/SYMBOL

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.

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 - dont 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

XXXI
SECTION I SAFETY/DECALS/SYMBOL

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 operators , 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 attach-


ments 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 transmis-
sion or powershuttle, ALWAYS chock the tractor wheels.

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 oper-
ate at high speed or turn the tractor until the differential lock is disen-
gaged.

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 ap-
propriate 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 be-
hind loaded or loading equipment. DO NOT drive a tractor up to some-
one 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
ATTAC H M E N T S OR I M P L E M E N T S ARE LOW E R E D TO T H E
GROUND.

XXXIII
SECTION I SAFETY/DECALS/SYMBOL

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. Dont let your tractor bounce.
You may lose steering control.

Dont 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.

Dont 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.

XXXIV
SECTION I SAFETY/DECALS/SYMBOL

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.

WARNING: DO NOT DISENGAGE THE CLUTCH OR ATTEMPT TO


SHIFT GEAR AFTER YOU HAVE STARTED DOWNHILL.

DO NOT use your tractor to round up farm animals.

WARNING: HITCHING TO THE REAR AXLE, OR ANY OTHER POINT


ABO V E TH E S W I N G I N G D R AW B AR, CAN C AU S E A R E AR
OVERTURN.

To Avoid Rear Overturns

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.

XXXV
SECTION I SAFETY/DECALS/SYMBOL

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 nec-
essary, 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 for-
ward, 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 pos-
sible.

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

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.

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.

Before attaching, detaching, cleaning or adjusting P.T.O. driven imple-


ments, 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.

XXXVI
SECTION I SAFETY/DECALS/SYMBOL

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


tractor seat until the PTO drive is disengaged, the lowest gear is en-
gaged (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 of-
fered 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 manufacturers in-
structions.

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.

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 OPERATORS
COMPARTMENT AND CRUSHING THE DRIVER WHEN THE LOADER
IS RAISED. INADEQUATELY SECURED OBJECTS COULD ALSO
FALL AND INJURE BYSTANDERS.

Implements and Attachments


Three-point hitch and side mounted implements make a much larger
arc when turning than towed equipment. Make certain to allow suffi-
cient clearance for turning. Use only approved attachments and im-
plements.

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.
XXXVII
SECTION I SAFETY/DECALS/SYMBOL

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 acciden-


tally separated from the drawbar while transporting. Using the appro-
priate 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 rat-
ing 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 lo-
cations may cause the tractor to overturn.

WARNING: TRACTOR REQUIRES CORRECT TRAILER BRAKING

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:
- at speeds over 30 km/h (19 miles/h);
- that, when fully loaded, weighs more than 1 times the weight of the
towing unit or 5000 Kg (please refer to local rules).

For towed equipment WITH HYDRAULIC OR PNEUMATIC brakes,


DO NOT tow equipment:
- at speeds over 40 km/h (25 miles/h);
- that, when fully loaded, weighs more than 4 times the weight of the

EZIONE III USO

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.

N e ve r th e l e s s , F O R TH E F IR S T 5 0 H O U R S ' R U N N IN G, it is
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.

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

28
SECTION III USE

Starting the engine


Before operating the starter key you must:
Switch off all the electrical equipment powered by the battery (lights,
direction indicators, blower, wipers, heating, air conditioning).
Release the engine STOP control
Move the controls of the rear PTO and front PTO (if present) to the
disengaged positions (indicator light off).
Move the shuttle control lever to the neutral position.
To start the engine:
Insert the key in the starter switch and turn it to the symbol .
In this position the engine oil pressure and battery charging warning lights should
be illuminated.
The yellow warning light B of the electronic preheating control system may illumi-
nate in two different ways:
1 - A single brief flash, indicating that the engine may be started
without activating the preheating system.
2 - Rapid continuous flashing, indicating the need to activate the
preheating system by pressing button A.

Starting without preheating:


- Depress the clutch pedal to enable starting.
- Start the engine turning the key to position and pressing the accelerator.
- Once the engine has started, release the key, which will automatically return
to the position .
Starting with preheating (necessary at low ambient temperatures):
- Depress the clutch pedal to enable starting.
- Activate the preheating system by briefly pressing button A.
- The yellow preheating light will stop flashing and remain steadily on for about 10
seconds.
- Once the light has switched off, start the tractor by turning the key to the position
and press the accelerator.
- Once the engine has started, release the key, which will automatically return to
the position

At this point the electronic preheating control system will activate the post-heating
stage, which will be signalled on the yellow indicator light.
The post-heating stage terminates automatically when the yellow light switches off
finally.
If necessary (e.g.: persistent white smoke from the exhaust due to poor
quality fuel) once the engine has started, it is possible to activate a further
post-heating stage simply by pressing the button again (this operation can
be performed at any time when the engine is running regardless of whet-
her or not the preheating stage was activated previously) .

NOTE: Before starting the tractor, the shuttle control lever must be in neutral
position.
29
SECTION III USE

NB: the operator can interrupt preheating at any time by pressing the but-
ton. To reactivate the system, you need to turn the key first to position
and then back to position .
WARNING: if the charge warning light (page 22) stays on after the engine
has been started, post-heating is not activated; accelerate the engine by
briefly pressing the accelerator pedal until the charge warning light goes
out.

A - Manual preheating control button


B - Preheating stage activation indicator light

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 electro-
nic regulator, turn the ignition key to position .
In the case of tractors with mechanical accelerators, operate the
engine stop command until engine comes to a stop, then turn the
ignition key to position .
This stop device is equipped with a position lock; so, to release it
before starting the engine, it will be necessary to press the middle
button.
Before getting off the tractor, pull the handbrake.

30
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 (32F), it is essential to
use only winter diesel fuel, which allows the engine to run correctly at
temperatures down to 20C (-4F).
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 20C (-4F).
If winter diesel fuel is not available (or if it is available but the temperature
is below 20C (-4F) 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.

Battery connection through the suitable connecting cables.


A - Auxiliary battery
B - Discharged battery

DANGER: NEVER START THE ENGINE BY SHORT-CIRCUITING THE


STARTER ENGINES TERMINALS. THIS MAY CAUSE SUDDEN
TAKE-OFFS WHICH COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS TO THE
OPERATOR.

32
SECTION III USE

Turbocharging

AgroClimber F 90 - F100
AgroClimber 105

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.

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.

CAUTION: WITH A COLD ENGINE YOU MAY NOTICE ABNORMAL


COMBUSTION. THIS SHOULD CLEAR UP ONCE THE ENGINE HAS
REACHED NORMAL OPERATING TEMPERATURE.

Controlling the engine speed


The driver has three devices that can
b e u s e d t o c o n t r o l th e e n g i n e
revolutions:
Hand throttle stalk
Memory button
Decelerator pedal (AgroClimber 105)
Pedal control
The decelerator pedal is used when it is necessary to decrease the engine
speed and as a result the forward speed of the tractor.
On taking your foot off the pedal the engine goes back to the speed set
with the memory button.

Hand throttle
The engine responds to the movement of the hand throttle stalk and the
movement of the accelerator pedal in exactly the same way.

Memory button
This button controls two functions:
Isochronous operation (engine speed remains steady even under
varying load conditions).
Retrieval of memorized engine speed.

When the ignition is turned on, the Hold indicator will be MEM
off and the speed is as selected by operating the
accelerator pedal or the hand throttle stalk.

NOTE: Fault codes are signalled by a sequence of flashes on the lamp with
the hazard warning symbol. In some fault conditions, an audible signal will
be emitted as well.

35
SECTION III USE

Memory usage

We recommend:
Set the engine speed using the memory button;
Move the throttle lever to the position corresponding to the speed re-
quired for headland manoeuvres.

If the button is pressed without holding (for less than three seconds):

the engine speed previously memorized will be retrieved (as de-


scribed below)
the indicator lights up
Isochronous operation

If the button is pressed and held for more than three seconds, with or
without the indicator alight:

the engine speed currently selected will be memorized


the indicator lights up
the indicator blinks for 1"
Isochronous operation is activated
memorized engine speed held steady.

If the button is pressed without holding (for less than three seconds) with
the indicator alight:

the engine will return to the revolutions corresponding to the posi-


tion of the hand throttle stalk
the indicator goes out
operation with rpm control offset.

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.

36
SECTION III USE

Steering controls

The steering controls consist of the two levers.


Each lever operates a steering clutch located on the halfshaft housing at
the rear of the tractor.
Each steering lever has two functions: the first half of the lever travel
controls the steering clutch, while the second half controls the
corresponding service brake.
DEUTZ-FAHR technology makes work easier and more productive,
changes in direction immediate, with absolute and independent control
over each track, providing fast and smooth manoeuvres.
Driving is effortless because it is hydraulically controlled and
servo-assisted, while the central position of the levers integrated in the
instrument panel makes for easier operation.
The clutch assembly is composed of cogged discs, made of an organic
material, called the driven discs, interposed with metal discs called the
driving discs. Engagement is made by helical springs

CAUTION: ALWAYS RESPECT THE NATIONAL RULES AND THE


ROADWAY LEGISLATION.

WARNING: REMEMBER THAT STEERING, BRAKING AND TRACTOR


PERFORMANCE IN GENERAL WILL BE GREATLY AFFECTED BY
THE IMPLEMENTS ATTACHED, THE TRAILERS TOWED OR THE
BALLAST APPLIED.

WHEN THE TRACTOR IS STATIONARY. SELECT NEUTRAL, EVEN
WHEN STOPPING FOR BRIEF PERIODS.

CAUTION: DO NOT DISENGAGE THE CLUTCH AND/OR PUT THE


GEAR IN NEUTRAL AFTER YOU HAVE STARTED DOWNHILL.

Service brakes control pedal


For tractors in the AgroClimber F 90-100HP family

The brakes are oil-immersed bands that act against the steering clutch drums.
The control consists of a pedal, located on the right-hand side of the driving posi-
tion, which is connected through a mechanical linkage to an actuator that allows
perfect braking in both forward and reverse drive.

The friction linings, made from organic material, are divided into segments to ensu-
re better adhesion to the cylindrical surface of the steering clutch cylinders.
The brake pedal operates both service brakes simultaneously.

When driving the tractor, you can apply the service brakes separately (right or left)
using the steering levers in order to make sharper turns.

When a steering lever is pulled fully, the corresponding service brake is applied
through a servo assisted hydraulic control.

When necessary, in an emergency, the mechanical action of the brake pedal con-
trol linkage can be assisted hydraulically by operating both steering levers simulta-
neously, pulling them out to their full extent.

39
SECTION III USE

For better insulation against vibration, the brake pedal is connected to the brake
actuator by a control cable.

Periodically check the condition of the outer cable and the protective sleeves. In
the event of damage to the cable or an increase in the brake pedal resistance, fit a
new cable immediately.

CAUTION: APPLY THE PARKING BRAKE AFTER THE ENGINE HAS


STOPPED AND BEFORE LEAVING THE TRACTOR.

WARNING: ON TRAVELLING DOWNHILL FOR A LONG TIME, DO NOT


USE CONTINOUSLY THE BRAKES, BUT USE ALSO THE ENGINE
BRAKING POWER, BY SHIFTING INTO LOW GEARS.

40
SECTION III USE

Parking brake
The parking brake control is independent from the service brakes.
This control consists of lever with a ratchet plate and a pawl.

The hand lever is connected to the mechanical band brake actuator by


way of a control cable.

To release the brake, press the button on the lever to disengage the pawl
from the ratchet and then push the lever forwards.

When the parking brake is applied, the relative warning light of the console

is illuminated .

When parking the tractor, always apply the parking brake by pulling the
lever fully with force.

CAUTION: THE PARKING BRAKE SHOULD ALWAYS BE APPLIED


WHEN TRACTOR IS PARKED OR LEFT UNATTENDED.

CAUTION: INSPECT PERIODICALLY THE BRAKE FLUID LEVEL IN


THE TANK. THE BRAKE FLUID TANK MUST BE ALWAYS FULL.

42
SECTION III USE

Clutch control pedal

The clutch is operated by means of the pedal located to the left of the
driver's seat. When disengaging the clutch the pedal must always be fully
depressed and the engine r.p.m. Reduced.

Other than for short periods such as gear changing the clutch must not be
held depressed, always select "NEUTRAL" and engage the clutch.

When engaging the clutch , "IN GEAR", the pedal must be released
smoothly and carefully without excessive engine speed to avoid
excessive slippage. After clutch engagement the pedal must be fully
released and must not be used as a "foot-rest". Incorrect clutch operation
will result in excessive clutch wear.

CAUTION: NEVER LEAVE YOUR TRACTOR WITH ENGINE RUNNING,


IF NOT STRICTLY NECESSARY. IN THIS CASE PUT ALL GEAR
LEVERS IN NEUTRAL AND PULL FULLY THE HAND-BRAKE
LEVER.

43
SECTION III USE

Brakes
For tractors in the AgroClimber 105HP family
The brakes are the belt type and they act on the hubs of the steering clutches.

Service brake controls


The track service brakes, besides
being used to stop the tractor, perform
another important function: they
considerably reduce the turning radius
when working on farmland.
The hydrostatic control is governed
with the two pedals
It is necessary to press both pedals
simultaneously after connecting them
with a locking bolt when driving on
urban roads and for haulage with a
trailer.

If separate braking is necessary to reduce the turning radius, disconnect


the pedal locking bolt and press just one of the pedals; this is to be done
solely when working on farmland.

N.B. - On long descents, especially when towing, it is recommended not to


use the brakes for too long, but to use the braking action of the engine by
engaging appropriately low gears.

Decelerator pedal
For a temporary reduction of the
engine speed set with the hand throttle
control

Use the decelerator pedal to reduce


tractor speed temporarily: press the
pedal to reduce engine speed and
hence travel speed of the tractor
whenever necessary.
When the decelerator pedal is
released the engine will return to the
speed set with the hand throttle control.

44
SECTION III USE

Parking brake control


To park the tractor with the brakes
applied, it is necessary to press both
pedals down fully (connected with a
locking bolt) until you feel the brakes
applied and then to pull the parking
brake up as far as it will go (ON). The
light on the dashboard will come on to
indicate the control for parking the
tractor has been applied.
On taking your foot off the pedals will
stay pressed down.
To disengage the action of the brakes,
press firmly on the control pedals and
push the stop control towards the
dashboard (OFF).

SECTION III USE

Transmission speed selection


Before trying to start the engine, shift the forward/reverse gear le-
ver into neutral and the P.T.O. lever into disengaged.
Starting is only enabled if the P.T.O. clutch lever is in the disenga-
ged position (see the figure of page 30 , position B)
Depress the clutch pedal and start the engine.
Select one of the 2 speed ranges at your disposal by means of the
concerned lever and shift into the desired gear.

The speed choice depends a great deal on soil conditions, implement


used, work to be performed, etc.
In any case, the appropriate gear is the one ensuring a certain reserve of
power such as to permit any overloading.
Generally, lower gears are chosen for heavier jobs and higher gears for
lighter ones.

To check in a simple way if the engine is overloaded, it is suggested to


carry out the following test: keep the hand throttle at 1/4th of its travel, then
suddenly accelerate to maximum speed.

If the engine revs do not increase, but on the contrary decrease, this
means the engine is overloaded, then shift into a lower gear.
To make a correct choice we suggest you to consult the graph in the
technical data section.

To pass from one gear to another in the same range, use solely
the gear lever, after disengaging the clutch.
The synchronized gearbox makes it possible to operate the gear
and mini-reduction gear lever even while the tractor is moving;
whereas, it is only possible to use the other controls with the engi-
ne stationary.
Every time it is necessary to use one of the gearbox controls, di-
sengage the clutch by pressing the pedal down fully, then
gradually but firmly releasing it.

Whenever you need to engage or disengage the extra-reduction


gear, the tractor has to be stationary, with the Slow or Reverse
gear range engaged.

WARNING: The forward-reversing gear unit control lever should only be


used when the tractor is fully stationary

TO START ANY SERVICING OPERATION.

52
SECTION III USE

PTO ECONOMY
When the ground conditions are relatively easy, it is often the case that the
power required from the tractor engine is significantly lower than the
maximum power output.

In this case, the ECO P.T.O. allows the engine to run at a much lower
speed without affecting the implement rotation speed and working
capacity.

This results in significantly lower fuel consumption and less strain on the
engine.

Working with position control


It is particularly suitable for ploughing operations as it helps adjust and
keep the tractor draft steady according to soil type and conditions.

Move control lever 1 into the most convenient position;


Lower implement into ground by progressively moving draft control
lever 2 downwards until the desired working depth is attained;

Once the most suitable working position of lever 2 has been found
to obtain the desired operating depth, place the sliding stop that is
between both levers in order to constantly obtain the pre-set wor-
king position.
To lift or lower the implement use lever 2 only.

SECTION III USE

Hydraulic system
All the oil utilized is taken from the gearbox and filtered thorugh an
interchangeable cartridge filter de 25 , which is supplied with a pressure
switch that signals its clogging. The oil is then sent pressurized to the
various units by a pump

The circuit is equipped with:


a hydraulic pump with a delivery of 22 l/min. (23.2 U.S. qts) dedi-
cated to the rear lift and the auxiliary control valves
a hydraulic pump with a delivery of 11 l/min. (11.6 U.S. qts)dedicated
to the steering clutches, brakes, gearbox lubrication and services

This makes it possible to use the lift and the auxiliary control valves at the
same time.

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


direction, the control valve spool shifts to
Neutro
allow pressurised oil to flow out through one
port and return through a second port. When 1 0 2
the control lever is moved in the opposite
direction, the direction of flow is reversed. Abbassamento Sollevamento
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.

SECTION III USE

DETENT device:

Mechanical detent that engages the control


valve spool when it is moved to a certain
position at the end of its stroke. The spool
1 0 2 Detent 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


valve spool when it is moved to a certain
Kick-out position at the end of its stroke. The spool is
1 0 2 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
line, thereby allowing the implement to
1 0 2 Float move up and down and follow the contours
of the terrain.
The control lever has four positions:
pressure 1, neutral 0, pressure 2, Float.

SECTION III USE

As mentioned previously, each lever will have 3 or 4 positions:

UP
NEUTRAL
DOWN
FLOAT (Only for double-acting valves with FLOAT position)

Direction of oil flow through the


rear service couplers with control
lever in lifting position

Direction of oil flow through the


front service couplers with control
lever in lifting position

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.
RAISING: move the control lever out away from the drivers seat to
extend the cylinder and raise the implement.
LOWERING: move the lever in towards the drivers seat to retract
the cylinder and lower the implement. In the case of a dou-
ble-acting control valve, the implement lowering action is controlled
hydraulically, while in the case of a single-acting valve the lowering
action is determined by the oil draining under the effect of gravity.

70
SECTION III USE

FLOAT: move the control le-


ver forward beyond the lo-
wering position to the float
position to allow the cylinder
to extend or retract freely
and thus allow the imple-
ment to follow the contours
of the terrain.

Control lever in FLOAT position

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 o l l o w th e c o n t o u r s o f th e
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 service control valve and the lift simultaneously.

71
SECTION III USE

Connection of an implement to the auxiliary hydraulic service cou-


plers

N.B. - the hydraulic couplers G=1/2


have 1/2 female fittings that
allow connection under
pressure of the male fitting on
t h e im p l e m e n t h o s e . T h e
couplers are also designed to
disconnect automatically if
accidentally jerked.

Hydraulic services connections

IMPORTANT : check that connection hoses are of sufficient length to allow


unimpeded manoeuvring of the tractor and implement.

To disconnect the hose, return


the distributor s controls to
neutral position to release any
residual pressure from the
system, then pull the hose off.

Disconnecting a hose from the


hydraulic coupler

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.

72
SECTION III USE

Clean the rubbers carefully and


replace the covers.

Protection of the hydraulic service


couplers

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.

WARNING: KEEP THE TRACTOR LOCKED, USING A CHOCK, WHEN


PARKING ON SLEEP GROUND, REPAIRING OR MAINTENANCE
OPERATING.

73
SECTION III USE

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, see figure above) 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.

Transmission oil filler plug

74
SECTION III USE

In the case of a single-acting control valve:

Moving the control lever out away form the drivers seat sends oil under
pressure to the hydraulic coupler of the same colour marked with the
symbol of an extended cylinder.

Control lever in lifting position

On moving the control lever in towards the drivers seat, the oil returning
from the implement cylinder can drain through the hydraulic coupler of the
same colour marked with the symbol of an extended cylinder.

Converting a control valve from double-acting to single-acting


Turn the screws A on the control valve approximately 3 turns in a
clockwise direction to convert the control valve from double- to
single-acting operation and turn the screws back to restore double-acting
operation.

Note: hose A must be connected to an upper service coupler. To raise the


trailer, move the control lever out away from the drivers seat.

WARNING: always return the control lever to the neutral position as soon
as the external cylinder reaches the end of its stroke, in order to avoid
maintaining maximum pressure in the circuit for too long and thus causing
potentially dangerous stresses within the system.

To lower the trailer, move the control lever in towards the drivers seat

76
SECTION III USE

FLOW DIVIDER
The 10-way control valve has a FLOW DIVIDER control knob A, by which
you can adjust the oil flow rate between 0 and 40 l/min (42.3 U.S. qts) at
the 2 ways of the spool equipped with the DETENT B.

FLOW DIVIDER knob

This adjustment determines the speed of a cylinder operated by the


control valve.
Turning the knob counterclockwise (+) increases the oil flow rate.
Turning the knob clockwise (-) reduces the oil flow rate.

NB: when the cock is turned fully in direction ( -), the valve is closed.

IMPORTANT: if the oil flow rate is


increased at the control valve
equipped with the FLOW DIVIDER,
there will be a consequent reduction
in the flow rate at the other control
valves.

FLOW DIVIDER control

77
SECTION III USE

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


hydraulic motors)
These devices must be operated using a double-acting control valve
equipped with a KICK-OUT device (or DETENT).

A
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.
To operate, push the control lever out away from the drivers seat.
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 110C (230F).

SECTION V MAINTENANCE

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: Check regularly that the engine air cleaner casing and element are
not damaged. Do not wash or brush the element.

Engine cooling system


WHEN THE ENGINE IS RUNNING, THE COOLING SYSTEM IS
PRESSURISED. ONLY REMOVE THE FILLER CAP WHEN THE
ENGINE IS SWITCHED OFF AND THE COOLANT TEMPERATURE IS
BELOW 50C (122F).

Checking the level of coolant in the expansion tank


The coolant level should be about
halfway up the side of the expansion
tank, never below the minimum mark.
We recommend the use of liquid
coolant.

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.

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.

Liquid coolant
Coolant/antifreeze mixture.
This mixture, in addition to preventing freezing at temperatures down to
-38C (-36.4F), offers protection against oxidisation, corrosion, foaming
and encrustation.
The quantity of coolant contained in the cooling system is in the table de
page 99.

WARNING: ALWAYS USE THE 100% OF PERMANENT COOLANT


AVAILABLE FROM YOUR DEALER.

118
SECTION V MAINTENANCE

Changing the coolant/antifreeze mixture and flushing the cooling


system
Clean the cooling system using a specific detergent.

Proceed as follows:

Drain the engine cooling system by opening the drain cock on the
left-hand side of the engine;
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 ho-
urs.
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 run-
ning for 5 minutes.
Drain the system once again.
Refill with coolant/antifreeze, run the engine for a few minutes and
then top up the system.

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.

119
SECTION V MAINTENANCE

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. 85C/185F).
If you are in any doubt as to whether a thermostat is functioning correctly,
have it checked by qualified personnel.

SECTION V MAINTENANCE

Cleaning the water cooler


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.

DANGER: USE ONLY APPROVED NON-FLAMMABLE, NON-TOXIC


SOLVENTS FOR CLEANING PARTS. NEVER USE PETROL,
SOLVENTS OR OTHER FLAMMABLE FLUIDS.

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.

Switch on the dipped beam headlights.

h=10 cm

x=10 m

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

CAUTION: DISCONNECT THE BATTERY CABLES, BEFORE TO


VERIFY OR REPAIR THE ELECTRICAL WIRING OR BEFORE TO
START WELDING OPERATIONS ON TRACTOR OR ON ATTACHED
IMPLEMENTS.

152
SECTION VI ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

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.

Fill the fuel tank to the top to prevent condensation. The fuel should be
treated with the proper amount of Diesel fuel conditioner to prevent
formation of gum or wax. Run engine long enought to be sure all filters
and injection equipment is filled with conditioned fuel.

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.

CAUTION: CAREFULLY READ ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS


CONTAINED IN THE OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE HANDBOOK
AND FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS LISTED ON THE TRACTORS
DECALS.

155
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);

Charge and refit the battery (follow the instructions given in this ma-
nual).

Check the chain system adjustment

Lubricate the track tensioner wheel

Grease the track-holder bar

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.
