 GENERAL INFORMATION

1.3 Correct and incorrect use of tractor

1.3.1 Intended use

Note
The machine has been designed and constructed in conformity with EU directives for the prevention of risks to
health and safety. This manual must be read in full in order to minimise risks and avoid exposing the operator and
other persons to risk or danger. The operator must understand and comply with all the instructions and warnings
indicated on decals, plates and labels applied to the machine. Contact you dealer for any queries on this matter.

Note
The tractor is approved for use on public road provided that it is registered correctly and carries a legal license plate.
To operate this tractor in accordance with its intended use, it is necessary to follow the instructions in this manual,
along with the routine maintenance and repair rules stipulated by the manufacturer.
The persons who use, maintain and repair the tractor must have a good knowledge of the tractor and the associated
risks, and must be suitably trained and informed with regards the correct way to drive the tractor, the contents of this
manual and the rules stipulated by the manufacturer.
The persons who use, maintain and repair the tractor must always comply with the rules regarding workplace health
and safety, occupational health and road traffic legislation in order to avoid accidents that could cause personal injury
or death.
Any usage not complying with the conditions stated above will be deemed improper and incorrect use and will
automatically relieve the manufacturer of any responsibility in the event of an accident. In this situation, the user will
be entirely responsible and liable.
All persons using the machine must be in possession of locally valid authorisation to drive the vehicle or observe
applicable local regulations.
Read and observe the following instructions with particular care:
- Only use the machine for the usage intended by the manufacturer and indicated in this manual.
- Use the tractor safely.
- Connect implements correctly. Using non-approved or incorrectly installed implements and accessories may
result in overturning caused when the implement or accessory detaches from the tractor.
- Ensure that the three point linkage meets the requirements of ISO 730 standards.
- Check that the speed and dimensions of the power take off on the tractor are correct for the connected imple-
ment.
- Read the specific instruction manual provided with the implement thoroughly before operating an implement
connected to the tractor. The tractor is a tool that may be used in a variety of different configurations. It would
not be possible to provide comprehensive safety information in this manual encompassing ever possible con-
figuration of the machine.
- Before using the tractor for towing or stump-pulling, check carefully that the draft force setting is correct. When
using the machine for pulling stumps in particular, the machine may overturn if the stump fails to yield from the
soil.
- When lifting weights with a front loader or with the rear three point linkage, the centre of gravity of the tractor
may raise. In these conditions, the risk of sudden overturning is increased.
- Only leave the driver seat and alight from the tractor after doing the following:
- Set the gear lever to neutral.
- Engage the parking brake and, if present, the park lock.
- Disengage the PTO (unless the specific implement connected requires the PTO to remain running).

 GENERAL INFORMATION

- Especially when in restricted spaces, make sure that there are no persons in the vicinity of the machine when
manoeuvring.
- Inform all persons in the vicinity that they must leave and keep out of the work area before starting work. When
working, there is a risk of being hit by objects expelled by the implement connected to the tractor (rotary mo-
wers, rotary harrows etc.).
- Take particular care when working near roads or pathways. Objects may be projected out of the work area and
hit passers-by. Stop and wait for the area to clear before continuing work.
- Nobody other than the operator is allowed on the tractor. Do not allow other persons to climb onto the cab
access ladder while the tractor is moving. In addition to limiting the driver's field of view, there is also a risk of
the person carried falling off the tractor.
- Keep at a safe distance from the work area of implements. Keep out of the space between the machine and
the implement or towed vehicle when using the external lift controls. Ensure that there are no unauthorised
persons in the work area.
- The tractor is equipped with software which controls a number of its safety functions. Never tamper with these
functions for any reason or load software onto the system that is not certified by the constructor. Non certified
software may compromise the functions of the tractor. Non certified software may cause abnormal tractor
behaviour, reducing both performance and safety. Any procedure concerning the software must only be per-
formed by your dealer.
- Certain safety functions are controlled by sensors. These sensors must be in proper working order for the sa-
fety functions to be effective.
- The tractor is equipped with a single driver seat only and is therefore only intended to be operated by one user
at a time.

1.3.2 Improper and incorrect use

Any use other than those specifically intended by the constructor is deemed improper and incorrect. The constructor
cannot be held liable in the event of any accident caused by improper use. The user is responsible for all risks
deriving from improper use.
The following is a list of examples of improper usage of this tractor which will put the life of the operator at risk.
- Allowing the tractor to be operated by persons who have not received adequate training.

It's too late to remember what you should have done
once the accident has already happened. Never try
to start or manoeuvre the tractor from anywhere
other than the driver seat.
Read this manual thoroughly before starting, using,
fuelling the tractor or performing any other work on
the tractor. The time spent reading this manual will
provide you with an adequate understanding of your
machine, which will save you time and trouble in
future. It will also help you avoid accidents.
Read all the safety decals on the machine and
follow all the instructions and rules given in this
manual before operating, fuelling or servicing the
machine. Replace any damaged, lost or illegible Fig. 2.1
decals promptly. Clean any safety decals covered
with mud or debris.
Learn the characteristics of your tractor and how to use all of equipment on your vehicle and the implements and
hitches used on it. Learn how to use each control, indicator and instrument, and learn their functions.
To prevent accidents and ensure that the tractor is used correctly, it is vital for you to know how to use all the controls
and interpret all the indicators and instruments. You must be familiar with the rated load capacity of the tractor, the
usable speed ranges, the characteristics of the braking system, the turning radius of the tractor and its working
spaces.
Do not use the tractor if the cab or ROPS safety roll bar are not in good working order and fitted correctly on the
tractor. Periodically check that the relative fasteners have not loosened and that the structural elements have not
been damaged or bent by accidental impact. Do not modify structural elements by welding, drilling etc., as this will
compromise the stiffness of the roll-over protection structure.
Keep a first aid kit at hand at all times in order to be able to respond to an emergency as quickly as possible. Make
sure you know how to use this equipment.
Do not wear loose garments or jewellery which could tangle easily in moving parts or snag on the controls of the

2.1.7 Using the tractor

Choose the most appropriate track widths for the task in hand that will ensure the greatest stability possible.
Engage the clutch gradually. Engaging the clutch suddenly, especially when driving the tractor out of ditches or
muddy terrain or when negotiating a steep gradient, may cause the tractor to rear dangerously. Disengage the clutch
immediately if the front wheels lift from the ground.
Keep the tractor in gear when negotiating a downhill gradient. Do not disengage the clutch and never put the
transmission in neutral.
Use extreme caution when working with the wheels close to ditches or embankments. If it is necessary to work
with tractor in an inclined position, such as on hillsides for example, drive at reduced speed and avoid sudden or
excessively tight steering manoeuvres.
The driver must always remain correctly seated in the driver seat when the tractor is moving.
Do not climb onto or off the tractor while it is moving.
If it is necessary to use the brake, press the pedal progressively.
Do not approach bends at high speed.
When driving on the road, observe the rules of the highway code.
Do not rest your feet on the brake and clutch pedals while driving.
Never carry passengers, even inside the cab, unless the tractor is equipped with a homologated additional seat.
Passengers must remain seated correctly in the passenger seat with the seat belt fastened.
When driving on the road, the brake pedals must always be latched together with the specific plate. Braking with
unlatched brake pedals may cause the tractor to skid and lose control. Do not overuse the brakes, and use the engine
brake effect where possible.

2.1.8 Towing and transporting

Towing
Follow the instructions given below to ensure the stability of the tractor when driving:
- Stopping distances increase with speed and with the weight of the towed weight. Drive slowly and allow more
time and distance to stop safely.
- Set the towing device appropriately for vehicle or implement towed.
- Drive slowly when towing very heavy loads.
- For you own safety, never tow a trailer without its own independent braking system.
- Do not negotiate bends with the differential lock engaged when towing, as it may not be possible to steer the
tractor.
- Never carry persons or allow children in or on the towed implement.
- Use only homologated towing hitches.
- Only tow with a machine with a suitable towing hitch. Towed implements must only be hitched to the approved
hitching point.
- Never negotiate a downhill gradient with the machine in neutral.
- Keep out of the area between the tractor and the towed vehicle.
- Do not make sudden turns. Work with particular caution when turning or working on poor surfaces. Take ex-
treme care when reversing.
- Towing an excessive load may cause loss of traction and loss of control on slopes. Reduce the weight towed
by the tractor when working on slopes.
- The total towed weight must not exceed the combined weight of the tractor, the ballast and the operator. Apply
counterweights or ballast weights to the wheels as described in the operator manual of the implement or of the
tractor.
Transporting
- The tractor may only be towed for short distances and never on public roads.
- An operator must remain in the driver seat while the tractor is towed.

 GENERAL SAFETY RULES

2.1.11 Using agricultural implements and machines

Do not couple implements or machinery with power
demands greater than the rated power of the tractor.
Do not negotiate tight bends while the PTO is under
significant load; this is to avoid damage to the
universal joints of the drive shaft connected to the
PTO itself.
When working with implements requiring the tractor
to remain stationary with the engine running, keep
both the gearbox and creeper gear levers in neutral
and engage the parking brake. Fitting chocks under
the wheels is also recommended.
Before using the PTO when connected to an
implement, always check that there are no persons
in the working radius of the implement itself. Also
check that all rotating parts connected to the PTO
shaft are suitably protected with guards.
Fig. 2.40

2.1.12 Do not stand between the tractor and the implement

The tractor may move unexpectedly and the implement may start unexpectedly.
To avoid the risk of severe or fatal injury, never stand between the tractor and the implement or between the tractor
and the trailer to assist the driver in connecting to the implement/trailer while the tractor is reversing.
- Always switch the engine off before carrying out any work in the space between the tractor and the connected
implement.
- When it is necessary to operate the lift, make sure that there are no persons in the area involved.
The majority of accidents are caused by carelessness when working with or in the vicinity of moving machines.

2.1.13 Fire prevention

Remove grass and debris from the engine
compartment and from the area surrounding the
exhaust pipe before and after using the machine.
Always close the fuel cut-off valve (if present) when
parking or transporting the machine.

 GENERAL SAFETY RULES

2.1.14 Safety measures for tyre maintenance

The explosive separation of parts of the tyre and wheel may cause severe injury or death.
Never attempt to mount a tyre with inadequate tools and experience for the job.
Always maintain the correct tyre pressure.
Never inflate a tyre to above the recommended pressure.
Do not use the tyre at inflation pressures lower than the specified value. This will cause the tyre to overheat and may
lead to:
- tyre failure;
- bead separation;
- internal tyre damage;
- uneven, premature wear.
Do not perform welds on or heat a wheel / tyre assembly. Heat may cause the air pressure to increase and lead to a
tyre explosion. Welding may structurally weaken or warp the wheel.
When checking tyre pressure, do not stand in the possible path that the valve mechanism or cap could be ejected in.
When inflating tyres, use a suitably long inflation nozzle and extension hose to permit the operator to stand next to
the tyre and NOT in front of or over the tyre.
Check tyres to ensure that they are inflated to the correct pressure and show no signs of cuts or bulges, check that
the wheels are undamaged and check that there are no missing or loosened nuts or bolts.
Never exceed the speed indicated on the tyre. As well causing the tyre to overheat, this will also lead to premature
tyre wear.
Do not park with the tyres on petroleum based substances such as oil, diesel fuel, grease etc
After fitting the tyres, check that the nuts are tightened correctly after 100 Km or 3 operating hours. Afterwards, check
the tightness at regular intervals.
If any problems are noted, have the tyre checked by a specialist.
Tyres fitted on a tractor left parked for prolonged periods of time tend to deteriorate faster than tyres used more
frequently. If the tractor is out of use for prolonged periods, raise it from the ground and protect the tyres from direct
sunlight.

Caution
Tyres may only be changed by skilled personnel with the necessary equipment and technical knowledge. Tyre
replacement performed by unskilled persons may cause severe personal injury, damage to the tyre and damage
to the wheel.

2.1.15 Checking wheel fasteners

Insufficiently tightened wheel fasteners may cause a serious accident and severe injury.
Check the tightness of the wheel fasteners frequently during the first 100 hours of use.
The wheel fasteners must be tightened to the specified torque and with the correct procedure each time these
components are loosened.

- keep out of the area beneath loads lifted by hydraulic means. Lower the lifted load to the ground before appro-
aching;
- do not leave the implement raised from the ground while the machine is parked or during maintenance. If it
is necessary keep the hydraulic cylinders in the raised position for maintenance or for access, support them
appropriately or lock them mechanically in place;
- do not raise loads beyond the height strictly necessary. Lower loads for transporting. Remember to maintain a
safe distance between the load and the ground or other obstacles.

Note
The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for any damage or injury resulting from the incorrect use of the loader
shovel or any other implement posing a safety hazard for the occupants of the cab.
On versions with front loader:
- only use a front loader if the driver is adequately protected by a safety structure (FOPS), or if retainer devices
are fitted on the loader;
- buckets, forks and other loader accessories, or other lifting, handling or digging equipment and the relative
loads carried will alter the centre of gravity of the machine. This may cause the machine to overturn on slopes
or poor terrain;
- suspended loads may fall from the loader bucket or from the lift equipment and crush the operator. Use extre-
me caution when lifting a load. Use the correct lifting equipment.

2.1.29 Roll over protection structure

The machine is equipped with a roll over protection frame or a cab. The structure protects the operator in the event

stability. The tractor may roll or tip over if these limits are exceeded. Follow these safety rules;
- use particular caution when driving on steep gradients with the machine loaded;
- do not use the protective structure as a towing point;
- do not modify the roll over protection frame by welding, drilling, bending, grinding etc. Modifications such as
these will alter the original characteristics of the structure and cause it to no longer meet the requisites for ho-
mologation;
- keep the seat belt fastened at all times when using the machine. The structure only offers adequate protection
if the driver is restrained correctly in the seat;
- in the event of wear or damage caused by an accident or roll over, the original protective characteristics of
the structure must be restored before the machine may be used again. The structure may only be repaired or
replaced by qualified personnel;
- the roll over protection frame must always be raised and locked in position. Keep the seat belt fastened at all
times;
- only fold the roll over protection frame down when strictly necessary. When the roll over protection frame is in
the folded position, use extreme caution and keep the seat belts fastened at all times. As soon as the task is
complete, raise the roll over protection frame and lock it in position before continuing to use the machine;
- do not use a machine equipped with only the roll over protection frame to apply plant protection products;
- do not use the machine for draft or pulling jobs where the effective draft force involved is unknown (e.g. stump
pulling). The tractor may overturn if the stump fails to yield from the soil.

keep at suitable distance from high voltage
power lines to allow manoeuvring in safety;
- to avoid the risk of electric arcing, never lea-
ve the tractor under overhead electric power Fig. 2.51
lines;
- electric arcing phenomena may occur acci-
dentally when in the vicinity of high voltage
overhead power lines. These arcing pheno-
mena produce very high voltages in the exte-
rior structure of the tractor, resulting in large
differences in electric potential between the
tractor and the surrounding terrain.
To avoid serious or fatal injury due to high voltage:
- do not walk with long strides, do not lie down on the ground and do not touch the ground with your hands;
- do not touch any metal parts;
- do not create contact between the tractor and the ground;
- warn all persons in the area: DO NOT approach the machine. The voltage in the ground may cause powerful
electric discharges;
- wait for the response of specialised emergency services. The overhead electric power line must be deactiva-
ted.
If you are forced to abandon the cab in spite of the electric arcing hazard to escape a situation of imminent peril of
death due to fire:
- jump as far away from the tractor as possible to a safe position;
- avoid all contact with the exterior of the tractor and evacuate the danger area.

2.1.42 Tractor electrical system

 TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS

3.3.1 Fuel
The engine is designed to run with standard fuels available throughout Europe (compliant with DIN EN 590
specifications).

Caution
Do not use fuels with characteristics differing from those indicated.
The use of non-recommended fuel may damage the engine. Do not use contaminated fuel or diesel fuel mixed with
water as this may cause serious engine malfunctions.
The warranty does not cover any malfunctions caused by the use of fuels other than those of the recommended type.

Warning
Using correctly filtered fuel will prevent damage to the injection system. Clean any fuel spilt when refuelling
immediately.
Do not keep fuel in galvanised (zinc plated) containers. Fuel reacts chemically with the zinc coating of the container,
producing compounds which will quickly clog the filters or cause injection pump and/or injector malfunction.

3.3.1.1 Fuel for low temperatures

When operating the engine at temperatures below, 0°C use the specific low temperature fuels commercialised
normally by fuel manufacturers for cold weather usage and conforming with the specifications given in the fuel
compatibility table.
These fuels limit the formation of paraffin wax at low temperatures.
When paraffin wax forms in fuel, it clogs the fuel filter and stops the flow of fuel to the engine.

3.3.1.2 Biodiesel
BIODIESEL (compliant with the specifications of UNI EN 14214) may be used in proportions up to 7% mixed in a
standard fuel type available in Europe (as defined by the standard DIN EN 590).

3.3.2 Engine oil

Warning
Operating the engine with too high or too low an oil level may cause damage to the engine itself.
Never fill to beyond the MAX level, as excess oil combustion in the cylinder may cause a sudden increase in engine
speed.
Use only the specified oil type to ensure that the engine is protected adequately and maximise the performance
and durability of the engine itself.
Using oils of lower quality than indicated by the specifications will significantly shorten the lifespan of the engine.
The viscosity of the oil must meet the requirements specified at the normal engine operating temperature.

Danger
Prolonged skin contact with used engine oil may cause skin cancer.
If contact with oil cannot be avoided, wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water as soon as possible.
For guidelines on disposing correctly of used oil, see the section "Decommissioning and scrapping" in the chapter
"General safety rules".

3.3.2.1 SAE oil classification

This system classifies oils on the basis of viscosity only and does not take any other characteristic into account.
The classification code consists of two numbers separated by the letter "W", where the first number indicates the
viscosity grade in cold conditions and the second number indicates the grade in high temperature conditions.

system clockwise or anticlockwise. On certain
suspension versions, this lever has a ratchet action.
Set the position of the lever to allow the lever to
be rotated in the direction required. Pull the lever
outward and rotate by 180° until it locks in place.
The seat is adjusted correctly when it stabilises,
with the load of the driver, at the mid point of the
suspension travel.
If the seat is equipped with a window with a driver
weight indicator, set to the weight of the driver. If the
seat is equipped with a gauge window with a pointer,
the seat is adjusted correctly when the pointer is in
the centre of the green zone.

Note
Fig. 4.17
The driver must be seated when adjusting the seat,
so that the seat suspension system is loaded.

 CONTROLS AND INSTRUMENTS

Height adjustment (limiter)

The limiter limits the maximum upward excursion of
the seat suspension.
The limit may be set at any position desired within
the suspension travel, and must be set with the
operator seated, so that the seat suspension
system is loaded. The seat height may be increased
or decreased by turning the height adjustment dial.
Adjust the seat suspension again for the weight of
the driver after each adjustment to the height setting.

Note
The driver must be seated when adjusting the seat,
so that the seat suspension system is loaded.

 CONTROLS AND INSTRUMENTS

4.2.3.1 Lap seat belt

Static seat belt: adjust the length of the belt to fit
snugly around the abdomen of the driver, seated
correctly with the back against the backrest and 5
with the belt passing over the lowest part of the
7
abdomen, near the thighs. Hold the tongue at a right
angle to the belt and shorten the belt by pulling the
free end (5) or lengthen by pulling the part (6).
Belts with retractors are automatically adjusting.
Check that, when worn, the belt is not twisted and
does not pass over sharp or fragile objects against
the clothing.
Fasten the seat belt by pushing the tongue into the
slot in the buckle until it clicks audibly into place,
and check that it is fastened correctly by pulling the
6
belt.
To release the seat belt, press the red button (7) on Fig. 4.20
the buckle completely until it clicks and releases the
tongue.
Belt retractor functions
The belt retractor performs two functions:
- retracts the belt automatically when worn while allowing the driver to move. While wearing the seat belt, check
that the retractor does not lock the belt when the belt is pulled slowly out from the retractor.
- it locks the seat belt when the belt is pulled suddenly out of the retractor itself.
While wearing the seat belt, try to pull the belt sharply out of the retractor and check that the belt locks.

4.2.3.2 Looking after the seat

Dirt may cause the seat to malfunction. Always keep the seat clean!
When cleaning, do not detach the padding from the seat frame.

Danger
Risk of injury caused by backrest springing forwards! When cleaning the upholstery of the backrest, the backrest
adjustment must be enabled only if the backrest is held with one hand.

Warning
Dot clean the seat with steam cleaning or pressure wash equipment!
When cleaning the surfaces of the seat upholstery, do not allow liquid to soak through the upholstery and into the
padding.
Before use, check that the cleaning product is compatible with the upholstery or commonly used man-made textiles
by testing on a small, concealed area.

4.2.4 Steering wheel

The machine is equipped with a height-adjustable
steering wheel. The steering wheel and steering
column are set to the standard position before
delivery.
To adjust the position of the steering wheel, lift the
steering wheel lock mechanism and raise or lower
the steering wheel into the desired position. After
setting the position, push the lock mechanism down
again to lock the steering wheel.

Danger
The following adjustment must only be performed
with the machine stationary with the engine
switched off and the parking brake engaged.

CONTROLS AND INSTRUMENTS

4.2.6 CAN diagnostic interface

The CAN diagnostic interface permits
communication between the diagnostic tool and
the tractor in order to diagnose faults, and indicates
the fault codes generated by the control unit with
flashing sequences.

Fig. 4.23

4-13
 CONTROLS AND INSTRUMENTS

4.2.7 ROPS
Models without a cab are equipped with a folding rollover protection frame.

Danger
During work, always keep the ROPS mounted in the correct vertical position.
When in horizontal position, the roll bar will provide no protection in case of overturning.
Make sure that the roll bar is positioned correctly before starting the engine.

Danger
Do not modify the structural components of the ROPS for any reason whatsoever by welding on additional parts,
drilling holes, grinding, etc. Failure to observe this instruction compromises the stiffness of the ROPS, reducing the
level of protection ensured by the original equipment.

Danger
In the event of tractor overturning or damage to the ROPS or cab (e.g., due to impact), all deformed structural
components must be replaced to ensure original safety.

To lower the ROPS, carry out the following on both

sides:
- Remove the split pin to release the pin.
- Pull out the pin. B
- Fold down the ROPS. The gas dampers help
the lifting action and reduce the recoil when
lowering.
- Insert the pin in the hole (A) to fasten the roll-
bar in vertical position; Insert the pin in the
hole (B) to fasten the roll-bar in horizontal po-
sition.
- Insert the split pin to lock the pin.

Before starting the engine, ensure that the parking brake is disengaged and that the transmission and PTO are in
neutral. This is necessary even though the tractor is equipped with a start safety device. Never override the start
safety switch. If this component does not work correctly, it must be repaired by the qualified personnel of your
dealer.

Danger
Make sure that all connected implements have been lowered completely to the ground before starting the engine.

Danger
Ensure that all safety covers, guards and protective structures necessary are correctly installed on the tractor
(ROPS safety roll bar, front cowl panels, cowl, PTO guard, front axle drive shaft guard etc.).

Danger
Make sure that there are no persons or obstacles within the operating radius of the tractor before starting the
engine.

 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

5.2 Diesel particulate filter (POC) regeneration

5.2.1 Diesel particulate filter regeneration
The particulate filter is a device designed to remove polluting particulate from the exhaust gas of the diesel engine.
This exhaust gas aftertreatment system uses a special filter to capture and retain unburnt particulate. The accumulated
particulate in the filter is eliminated at intervals by combustion in "regeneration" cycles.
The duration of the procedure is approximately between 15 and 30 minutes (it depends on the type of engine and the
quantity of particulate accumulated in the particulate filter).
The diesel particulate filter regeneration cycle may be launched automatically or manually.

Fig. 5.14

A symbol on the LCD display of the instrument

panel notifies the operator when the automatic 1
regeneration cycle starts. The purpose of this is to
warn the operator of the high temperatures reached
by the exhaust during the process.
The automatic regeneration cycle does not affect
engine performance. The operator may continue
to use the vehicle as normal while the regeneration
cycle is in progress.
Certain situations may prevent the automatic
regeneration cycle from completing (e.g. in the
event of repeated engine stops and restarts or
prolonged periods at idle speed). In these cases,
the procedure must be repeated.
If automatic or manual regeneration mode is
selected, the symbol (1) on the LCD display appears
when a regeneration cycle is started. Fig. 5.15

The symbol disappears once the procedure is

complete.

Warning
The operator may continue to drive the vehicle as normal while regeneration is in progress.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Warning
If the filter regeneration process is not completed successfully automatically or performed manually when requested,
the functionality of the filter itself may be compromised. If the regeneration cycle request is ignored repeatedly,
engine power will be significantly reduced and the filter itself will be damaged beyond repair, and will have to be
replaced with a new component by the dealer.

Danger
Extremely hot gases are expelled from the exhaust during the regeneration cycle, These gases may cause damage
to property and/or personal injury. Regeneration must always be performed outdoors at a safe distance from any
potentially flammable materials (e.g. hay, straw, dry leaves) and from persons or animals.
Keep the under-cowl area clean at all times, removing all potentially flammable debris and materials (hay, straws,
dry leaves etc.).

If regeneration is started in an unsafe location, the

cycle may be disabled by setting the switch to (C), 2
see figure5.14. The symbol (2) appears on the LCD
display if regeneration is disabled.
Launch the regeneration cycle as soon as the
vehicle is in a safe place.

Fig. 5.16

Continuing to use the tractor with the regeneration

disabled will eventually clog the particulate filter,
resulting in reduced engine performance. This
condition is indicated by the indicator (3) on the
instrument panel, accompanied by an audible
warning signal.

 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Note
If an excessive number of regeneration cycles are performed, it will be necessary to change the engine oil at a
shorter interval than indicated in the maintenance schedule.
The necessity to change the oil is indicated by the alarm symbol on the instrument panel display. This situation
does not result in derated engine power, however.

The regeneration cycle may be launched by

pressing and holding the button in position (A) until
the regeneration starts; the button automatically
returns to position (B) when released. This is the
"Manual regeneration" cycle.

Danger
Manual regeneration cycles must be performed A
with the machine stationary. Park the tractor
outdoors at a safe distance from any potentially
flammable materials (e.g. hay, straw, dry leaves)
and from persons or animals.
Do not remain on board the tractor during manual
regeneration.
Never leave the machine unattended for any
reason during the cycle. Fig. 5.18

Danger
Only run the engine in a well ventilated area to prevent the risk of exhaust gas inhalation. The engine exhaust is
poisonous.

Danger
The exhaust produced during regeneration becomes extremely hot and constitute a fire hazard if they come into
contact with flammable materials. The machine must be parked outdoors during the procedure.

Danger
The diesel particulate filter regeneration cycle must not be performed with the tractor parked on surfaces with
flammable materials which could catch fire in the event of contact with parts of the exhaust system.

Danger
The silencer becomes extremely hot during the regeneration cycle. The silencer must be at a safe distance from
objects and persons during the cycle. Do not use exhaust gas extraction systems applied to the silencer.

Note
The coolant temperature must be at least 65°C.
Engine speed will increase automatically to approximately 2000 rpm during the cycle.
The particulate filter regeneration process is complete when the engine returns to idle speed.
Turn the engine off and on again once the manual regeneration cycle is complete.

5.3.8 Differential lock

The differential lock system installed in the rear axle of the vehicle allows the driver to lock the left and right hand
wheels together on both axles so that they rotate at the same speed.
This function is particularly useful for tasks such as ploughing or when one of the two drive wheels encounters poor
grip conditions when driving on muddy, rough or slippery terrain.

Note
For the differential lock to be more effective, it should be engaged before the wheels start slipping. Do not engage
the differential lock when one wheel is already slipping.

Warning
The differential lock prevents the tractor from steering when engaged.

Warning
Do not use the differential lock when approaching a bend or steering, and do not use in high gears or at high engine
speeds.

Warning
If a wheel sinks into the soil, reduce engine speed before engaging the differential lock to prevent damage to the

5.5 Power Take Off

The power take off consists of a rotating shaft onto which different implements may be attached for different tasks.

Note
For safety, engine start is inhibited if the PTO is rotating.

Warning
When not using the rear PTO, move the mode selector lever to Neutral. This stops the PTO shaft and any other
connected rotating components from accidentally turning.

Danger
Do not remove or damage the metal guard.

Danger
When the PTO is not in use, the shaft must be covered with the specific guard.

Danger
When connecting high inertia implements (e.g. mower decks, flail mowers etc.) to the PTO, use a cardan shaft
transmission with a free wheel mechanism. This prevents drive from being transmitted by inertia from the implement
to the machine, and ensures that the tractor stops immediately when the clutch is depressed.

5.5.1 Rear power take off

The rear PTO may be used in two modes (ground
speed or independent) and at two operating speeds
(540 rpm or 750 rpm).

Fig. 5.36

The lift is controlled from the two levers on the right
hand side of the seat:
1 - Position control lever
2 - Draft control lever

Fig. 5.47

5.6.1 Using position control mode

The position control function is used to set a specific
position for the implement at any point from the
minimum implement height to the maximum height,
and with the implement either engaged with or
above the soil, and maintain this position.
This function may be used with for both implements 2 1
without wheels or other supporting elements, and
with wheels or other supporting elements.
- Move the draft control lever (2) completely
forwards to the end stop.
- Move the position control lever (1) to set the
required height. The position assumed by the

 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

5.6.2 Using draft control mode

The lift may be used in draft control mode to maintain
constant draft force irrespective of variations in
working conditions.
This function may be used with all implements
carried by the tractor with no form of support on the 2 1
ground such as sleds, wheels etc.
- Move the position control lever (1) completely
forwards.
- Set the required draft setting with the draft
control lever (2).
- Raise or lower the lift with the lift position con-
trol lever (1).

Note
The working depth attained by the implement is
proportional to draft force and dependent on the
consistency of the soil. In this mode, the draft
force requested by the lift from the tractor remains
constant.

Fig. 5.51

When working in draft control mode, the drop rate of

the lift may be set with the lift lock adjuster (3).

Fig. 5.52

5-40
 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

5.6.3 Mixed position/draft control

This function is intended for tasks requiring draft
control in irregular soil consistency conditions, which
may lead to the implement engaging too deeply in 1
the soil.
The lift operates with draft control but also prevents
the implement from engaging too deeply in the soil if 2
it encounters zones with less soil resistance.
Engage the implement to the required working
depth as described for "Draft control mode":
- Move the position control lever (1) completely
forwards.
- Set the required draft setting with the draft
control lever (2).
- Raise or lower the lift with the lift position con-

5.9 Towing trailers

Danger
Stopping distances increase with speed and with the weight of the towed weight. Drive slowly and allow more time
and distance to stop safely.

Danger
The total towed weight must not exceed the combined weight of the tractor, the ballast and the operator. Apply
counterweights or ballast weights to the wheels as described in the operator manual of the implement or of the
tractor.

Danger
Towing an excessive load may cause loss of traction and loss of control on slopes. Reduce the weight towed by
the tractor when working on slopes.

Danger
Never carry persons or allow children in or on the towed implement

Danger
Use only homologated towing hitches. Only tow with a machine with a suitable towing hitch. Towed implements
must only be hitched to the approved hitching point.

Danger
If it is not possible to reverse up a slope when towing a load, this means that the gradient is too steep for working
with a towed load. Reduce the load towed or abandon the task.

Danger
Never negotiate a downhill gradient with the machine in neutral.

Danger
Keep out of the area between the tractor and the towed vehicle.

Danger
Do not make sudden turns. Work with particular caution when turning or working on poor surfaces. Take extreme
care when reversing.

5.10 Three point linkage for implements

5.10.1 Rear three-point linkage

Danger
Any adjustments to the three point linkage or to the implement must be made with the engine off, the key removed
from the ignition switch and the implement lowered to the ground.

Danger
Keep out of the area between the tractor and the towed vehicle/implement when checking the three point linkage.

Danger
Do not use the top link of the lift as a towing point for the machine.

Danger
When driving on roads with an implement carried on the three point linkage, take up the slack in the chains and
keep the lift raised.

Danger
Never work under an implement raised only by the hydraulic lift. Always use a suitable support to hold it in place
and turn off the engine.

Caution
The maximum permissible load value of the lift is indicative only. The weight of the implements lifted must be less
than maximum liftable load, as the distance between the three point linkage and the centre of gravity of the load
also significantly influences the load effectively sustained by the linkage.
The weight sustained by the linkage increases significantly within increasing distance.

Warning
The top link must be set in the highest hole when driving on the road to prevent damage to the swinging drawbar
carrier.
The machine is equipped with a three-point hitch.
For the lift to operate properly, carefully check the dimensions of the implement to be hitched to the tractor.
To prevent the undue stress to the linkage assembly caused by incompatible dimensions, the implement hitch point
must be of the same category as the three point linkage of the tractor hitch.

5.11 Auxiliary hydraulic distributors

Danger
Use extreme caution when detaching and reconnecting implements.

Danger
Always wear safety gloves and safety eyewear to protect your eyes.

Danger
Escaping pressurised hydraulic fluid can have enough force to penetrate the skin. The fluid for hydraulically
controlled systems can also cause injection injuries. Seek immediate medical attention in the event of any injury
caused by escaping hydraulic fluid. Failure to do so may result in severe infection or dermatological reactions.
Never check for a fluid leak with your hands. Use a piece or wood or cardboard to locate leaks.

Danger
The tightness of all of the connection devices and the conditions of the hoses and pipes must be checked before
pressurising the system. Release all the pressure in the system before disconnecting hoses and before carrying
out any other work on the hydraulic system.
The tractor is equipped with auxiliary hydraulic distributors for operating external hydraulic cylinders.
The distributor valves are equipped with 1/2" NPTF female couplers complete with rubber dust caps.
Tractors may be equipped with the following different types of distributor:
- single acting;
- double acting;
- double acting with detent;
- double acting with float mode.
These distributors are connected via lines to corresponding hydraulic couplers situated on the rear or front right hand
side of the machine, depending on the configuration of the tractor. The numbers on the caps of the hydraulic couplers
and on the control levers identify which coupler is assigned to which control.

The control levers for the rear distributors (1) are

situated to the right of the driver seat and control the
hydraulic couplers (2) on the rear right of the tractor. 2

The control levers (3) of the front distributors are

located on the RH front side and control the hydraulic
couplers (4) on the RH front side.

4
Fig. 5.78
Depending on the version of the hydraulic distributors installed on the machine, the control levers perform the
following functions:
- Single acting hydraulic distributor control lever: the cylinder extends when the lever is raised and retracts
when the lever is lowered as a result of the weight of the implement installed.
- Single acting hydraulic distributor control lever with coupling in floating position: the cylinder extends
when the lever is raised and retracts when the lever is lowered as a result of the weight of the implement in-
stalled. The float function allows the implement to follow the contours of the terrain.
- Double acting hydraulic distributor control lever: the cylinder extends when the lever is raised and retracts
when the lever is lowered.
- Double acting hydraulic distributor control lever with detent: the cylinder extends when the lever is raised
and retracts when the lever is lowered. The detent function may be used to hold the distributor lever in a raised
position.
- Double acting hydraulic distributor control lever with sprung lever return: The detent function may be
used to hold the distributor lever in position. The sprung lever return function (KICK-OUT) automatically disa-
bles (releases) the detent function by moving the lever to the neutral position once the maximum set pressure
has been reached.
- Double acting hydraulic distributor control lever with fourth float mode position: the cylinder extends
when the lever is raised and retracts when the lever is lowered. The float function allows the implement to
follow the contours of the terrain.

5.12 Wheels and tracks

Danger
Tyres must be replaced by qualified personnel using suitable equipment and technical expertise.
A failure to comply with this recommendation may result in serious injury or death.

Danger
The tyre may explode when being inflated if it is damaged or if the rim is not intact or correctly matched.

Warning
Replace any tyres that show signs of damage, punctures or swelling immediately.

Warning
Periodically check that the tyres are inflated to the correct pressure and check the values with the information
provided by the manufacturer in relation to use of the tractor.
Follow the following instructions on use, maintenance and replacement of tyres:
- choose tyres that are suitable for tractor use, in the recommended combinations;
- use tyres that are suitable for the work load;
- do not exceed the speed limit indicated on the tyres;
- check that the nuts on the tyres which have just been fitted are tight after 3 hours of work;
- periodically check that the nuts are tight, that tread wear is even and that there are no signs of damage, swel-
ling or punctures;
- contact specialised technicians if a tyre is subjected to a violent impact or is torn;
- do not park on petroleum-based substances (oil, grease, diesel, etc.) to avoid damaging the tyres;
- tyres fitted on tractors which are put into storage may deteriorate more quickly; make sure the tractor is raised
off the ground and protect the tyres from direct sunlight.

5.12.1 Inflating the tyres

Danger
Always keep tyres inflated to the correct pressure. Never exceed this value since excessive pressure may cause
the tyre to explode. Using tyres inflated to incorrect pressure may have fatal consequences.
Inflating the tyres to the correct pressure is vital to ensuring that they are safe and long lasting. Incorrect inflation
pressure involves the following risks:
- Low pressure causes premature and uneven wear and significantly shortens the life of the tyre. A flat tyre may
also result in bead unseating.
- Excessive pressure reduces the tyre's resistance to impact and increases the probability of it developing swel-
ling and deformation which may also involve the rim and lead to the tyre bursting.

5-68
 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Pressure ctrl
The pressure must be checked regularly, at least
once every 15 days, especially if the tyres are
ballasted with liquid.
Check the pressure when the tyres are cold since
pressure is affected by overheating. Tyres are cold
if they have not been used for at least 1 hour.

Fig. 5.96

Caution
When checking the tyre pressure, stand out of line of the valve or cap as far as possible.

Warning
Never reduce the inflation pressure when the tyres are still warm.

Warning
Do not overload the tractor when the track is widened.

Note
Axle load affects inflation pressure.

 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

5.12.2 Puncturing of a tyre

Danger
Stop driving immediately if the tyre is flat after puncturing or any other reason.
If it is not safe to stop immediately, when on a road, for example, find a safe place to stop.
Tyres must be repaired and replaced by authorised, suitably qualified personnel.
The procedure for replacing a wheel is described in the "Replacing a wheel" section.

5.12.3 Replacing a wheel

To replace a wheel, do the following.

Danger
Tyres must be repaired and replaced by
authorised, qualified personnel using suitable
equipment.
Make sure that other personnel keep a safe
distance away during the operation.
1 - Remove the wheel ballast, if installed.
2 - Lift the tractor. See the "Lift points" section in the
chapter "General safety rules" for information on
how to lift the tractor safely.
3 - Completely deflate the tyre on the wheel that you
want to replace.
4 - Unscrew the nuts that fasten the wheel to the Fig. 5.97
axle shaft and then remove the wheel.
5 - Fit the new wheel and then tighten the nuts/
screws to the correct tightening torque.
6 - Lower the tractor.

Warning
Once the first 10 hours of work have elapsed after refitting the wheel, check the torque by retightening the screws
on the wheel using a suitable torque wrench.

Tightening torques
The following table shows the tightening torques for fastening the wheels to the hubs (axle shaft).

Wheel Torque
Front wheel 148 N·m (14.8 kg·m)
Rear wheel 310 N·m (31 kg·m)

5-70
 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

5.12.4 Adjusting the tracks

Danger
Only use the tractor if the wheels, rims and wells are securely fastened. Tighten screws and nuts to the recommended
torque.

Different types of agricultural work may require

different track widths.
A simple adjustment to the track is obtained by
fastening the wheel rim to the axle shaft (4) with
the concave part facing inwards or outwards by
inverting the position of the wheels on the axle to
1 3
keep the tops of the tread facing the drive direction.
If the wheels have an adjustable track rim, you
can also remove the wheel (2) from the well (1)
and refit it in a different position. The connecting 2
brackets (3) are off-centre to the well axle (1) so that 4
different track widths can be determined according
to the refitting configuration. This adjustment is not
possible for fixed track rims since the wheel (2) and
the well (1) are one single piece.
In practice, not all track widths can be used since
the tyre may not have enough space. Fig. 5.98

Warning
When adjusting the track widths, make sure that the tread is correctly positioned for the forward drive direction. The
position of the tread is indicated by an arrow on the side of the tyre.

Warning
Use suitable lifting equipment to support the wheels and wear suitable protective clothing.
Work on one wheel at a time and only move on to the next after completely securing the previous one.

Checking the maximum steering angle

Warning
After adjusting the track widths, it is important to check the maximum steering angle.
Carry out the following procedure.
- Lift the front end off the ground so that the front axle can reach maximum oscillation. See the "Lift points" sec-
tion in the chapter "General safety rules" for information on how to lift the tractor safely.
- Turn on the engine and turn the steering wheel to full lock, both left and right.
- Make sure that the tyres (or mudguards, if steered) remain at a minimum distance of 2 cm from the bodywork
(or from the mudguards, if fixed).
If this distance is not correct, you must adjust the steering angle of the wheels and if necessary, adjust the
rotation angle of the front mudguards (see the "Front mudguards" section, if available).

 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

5.12.5 Adjusting the steering angle

When adjusting the track widths, the tyres may come into contact with the bodywork when the wheels are on full lock.
To correct this problem, turn the adjuster screw (1), located on both sides of the front axle.

Warning
This must be done by qualified personnel using suitable equipment.

Warning
Adjustment must be carried out with the axle on full lock (on a wedge, first on one wheel and then on the other).

Carry out the following procedure.

- Steer the wheels.
- Tighten or loosen the screw (1) until there is
a distance of at least 2 cm between the tyre
and the bodywork.
- Once the distance is correct, block the screw
by securely tightening the checknut (2).
Perform the above operations for both front wheels.
Once you have completed the procedure, check
again that there is a distance of at least 2 cm
between the tyre and the bodywork on both sides.

 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

5.13 Front mudguards (if present)

The front mudguards guarantee improved safety and help to protect the tractor from excessive dirt.
Depending on the tyres that have been fitted and the established track width (see relevant section), you may have
to adjust the position of the mudguard to maintain the correct distance between it and the other parts of the tractor.
Any adjustment must comply with the following requirements:
- Keep a distance of at least 2 cm from the bodywork.
- Align the mudguard with the wheel.
The following adjustments are possible:
- Adjusting the rotation angle
- Horizontal adjustment

5.13.1 Adjusting the rotation angle

The maximum angle of rotation of the mudguards
can be adjusted. This is done by changing the A B
position in the slot of the adjuster screw (1) in
relation to the retainer bracket (2):
- if the screw (1) is placed as far as possible
from the bracket (2), as shown in (A), the 2 2
mudguard can reach the maximum angle of
rotation;
- if the screw (1) is placed next to the bracket
(2), as shown in (B), the mudguard cannot ro-
tate and is blocked parallel to the engine;
- if the screw (1) is placed in an intermediate
position, partial rotation is possible rather
than the two extremes described above.
1 1
Each front mudguard has its own adjuster screw and
the angle of rotation should therefore be adjusted
on both. Fig. 5.102

5.13.2 Horizontal adjustment

The horizontal position of the mudguard can be
adjusted in relation to the support (1): unscrew 2
the mudguard fastener bolts near the slots (2),
then move the mudguard to the horizontal position
required and refasten it to the support (1) by
refastening the bolts.

6.7 Electrical system maintenance

Caution
Keep the battery away from naked flames. The gas released by the electrolyte is explosive.
Keep away from vibrations and fire. Before carrying out maintenance work on the electrical system, disconnect the
negative cable (-). If the battery needs to be disassembled, disconnect the positive cable (+).
Turn the ignition switch to OFF to switch off the tractor and then wait 2 minutes before disconnecting the battery.
Failing to wait before disconnecting the battery may cause severe damage to the electronic engine control unit.

Caution
The electrolyte contained in the battery is corrosive: avoid contact between electrolyte and the eyes, skin and
clothing. If the acid comes into contact with your eyes, rinse with water immediately and go to a hospital as soon as
possible to avoid any risk of permanent injury.
When storing the battery after use, check regularly that the breather vent is in working order to prevent the battery
from swelling or bursting.
When charging and discharging the battery, ensure that the area is sufficiently ventilated to evacuate any acid mist
and combustible gases released during the charging process: In addition to minimising the corrosive effect of the
acids released from the battery, exchanging contaminated indoor air with fresh outdoor air also prevents the risk of
ignition of the combustible gases released.
The battery temperature must not exceed 45°C when charging. To avoid the risk of explosion, lower the temperature
with a water bath and temporarily reduce the charging current or charging voltage.
The indoor space in which the battery is charged must be adequately ventilated. This is because the battery
releases hydrogen whilst charging and, if the concentration of hydrogen in the air reaches 4%~7%, there may be
an explosion if a fire breaks out. In particular, do not smoke or keep naked flames in the room.
Avoid short circuiting when connecting the charge cable, as this may cause a fire.

Note
Store batteries in a dry, clean and well ventilated place at a temperature between 5 and 40°C.
Keep the batteries out of direct sunlight and at least 2 m from any heat source (heaters etc.).
Protect from rain, dust and other contaminants. Avoid external short-circuit discharge.
Do not overturn or lay the batteries on their sides. Avoid impact or stress due to other machinery.
Batteries must be stored with a full charge. Do not store batteries in an almost discharged state.
Do not tilt the battery when setting it down. Never turn the battery upside down or knock the battery.
Check the battery voltage every three months. Charge the battery when the voltage falls below 12.5V, to avoid hard
charging after long-term storage (which could reduce the battery lifespan).
Frequently check the colour of the hydrometer on the battery cap. Carry out maintenance and replacement on the
basis of the colour.
Connect the positive terminal of the battery to the positive terminal of the charger, and connect the negative
terminal of the battery to the negative terminal of the charger. Do not invert the connections.
Set the battery down. Fix the charging connections.

 SERVICE PROCEDURES

Battery charge modes

The charge modes normally used are constant current charging, constant voltage charging with limited current etc.
Constant voltage, limited current charging is recommended for maintenance-free batteries.
1) Constant current charge
After charging the battery to a voltage of 16V with a 12A current, switch to a 6A current to complete the charge. The
charging cycle ends once the battery voltage has stabilised for 1 to 2 hours (with a *min* difference of 0.03 V between
the two voltage values). Alternatively, the battery is charged for 3-5 hours at a current of 6 A once the voltage has
reached 16 V.
2) Constant voltage charge
14.8V~15.5V with constant voltage; the maximum current must not exceed 30A. Continue charging for 3 hours once
the charge current reaches *min* 0.5 A. The total charging time must not exceed 24 hours.

 SERVICE PROCEDURES

6.9 Technical maintenance in case of long term storage

Prolonged periods with the tractor not in use
Before and during periods when the vehicle/equipment in which the engine is installed is not used, a number of
maintenance procedures must be performed to keep the engine in proper working order.
Carry out the following in the case of short periods with the engine not in use:
- check electrical contacts and protect if necessary with anti-corrosion spray;
- check battery charge and the battery electrolyte level;
- perform any scheduled maintenance procedures necessary.

Warning
The engine should be started and warmed to operating temperature (70 to 80°C) at least once per month.
If the engine is used for an emergency application, observe the mandatory intervals for periodically starting and
running the engine required by specific legislation: if no specific intervals are indicated, it is advisable to start and
run the engine once every month.
If the tractor is not to be used for a period exceeding a month, take the following precautions:
- Clean the tractor as a whole and the bodywork components in particular. Protect painted parts with silicone
based wax and protect unpainted metal parts with protective lubricant. Park the tractor in a covered, dry and,
if possible, well ventilated place.
- Seal/cover the air intakes, exhaust, crankcase filler cap, fuel tank, radiator overflow hose, transmission filler
cap and hydraulic system filler cap with plastic bags and adhesive tape.
- Empty the fuel tank and fill completely with new diesel fuel.
- Change the engine oil and, if necessary, the filter.
- Drain the coolant from the radiator and engine.
- Clean the fuel filter.
- Lubricate all parts with grease nipples. Grease all parts necessary.
- Grease all exposed mechanical surfaces, such as the lift cylinders and the steering cylinder rod, with a light
film of grease.
- Lower the lift.
- Ensure that all controls are in the neutral position and all electric switches are off.
- Do not leave the key in the ignition switch.
- Remove the batteries and place them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep the batteries char-
ged.
Spread stringy protective grease on the terminals and terminal clamps
- Place stands or other suitable supports under the axles to keep the wheels off the ground. Preferably keep the
tyres deflated when the tractor is raised off the ground If not, check the tyre pressure periodically.
- Release the ancillary drive belt tension and remove the belt from the air conditioner pulley
- Cover the tractor with a cloth. Due not use waterproof materials such as waxed canvas or plastic sheeting, as
they will trap moisture and encourage corrosion.
Take the following additional precautions if it is necessary to keep the tractor outdoors.
- Cover the instrument panel, control levers and seat with cardboard to protect them against sunlight.
- Clean the tractor thoroughly, touching up any scratched or chipped paintwork.
- Wax the tractor bodywork or cover the entire tractor.
- Lift the tractor to raise the tyres from the ground and cover the tyres to protect them against heat and sunlight.

Note
Disconnect the battery ground connection only if the tractor is to be out of use for brief periods (20 to 90 days).

 SERVICE PROCEDURES

Preparing the tractor for operation after storage

- Remove all the covers placed on the tractor prior to storage.
- Uncover all the apertures sealed/covered with plastic and tape.
- Remove all dirt and debris which may have accumulated during storage, especially in the area around the
engine and inside the engine compartment.
- Inspect the tyres and check inflation pressure. If the tractor was kept on stands, inflate the tyres to the specified
pressure and lower the tractor to the ground.
- Set the drive belt tension correctly.
- Check around and underneath the tractor for any signs of leaks.
- Check the transmission/hydraulic oil level. Add oil if necessary.
- Check the engine oil level. If necessary, top up or change in accordance with the respective service intervals.
- Change the engine oil filter in accordance with the respective service intervals.
- Check the coolant level. If necessary, top up or change in accordance with the respective service intervals.
- Top up the fuel tank.
- Change the fuel filter in accordance with the respective service intervals.
- Change the air filter in accordance with the respective service intervals.
- Check the tightness of the hydraulic connectors.
Check the condition of the rubber hoses and the respective hose clamps.
- Perform all maintenance procedures required on a daily basis or at intervals of 10 hours, and any other main-
tenance needed.
- Check battery charge and the battery electrolyte level.
Check the condition of the electrical contacts.
Install the batteries and connect the cables.
- Check engine operation.
- Start the engine and run at idle speed and at zero load for a few minutes.

Note
While the engine is running at idle speed, check all the instruments and indicator lamps to ensure that the engine
is operating correctly.
- If no malfunctions are noted, warm the engine to operating temperature (70 to 80°C).
- Check the systems and functions of the tractor, including the air conditioner.
- Switch off the engine and check again that the engine oil and coolant levels are correct.

Warning
If any signs of oil leakage are found, do not start the engine until the cause of the problem has been identified and
the necessary repairs made.

Warning
Certain lubricants and engine components deteriorate over time even if the engine is not in use. The replacement
intervals for these lubricants and components must therefore be determined in accordance with age rather than
operating hours.
The maximum lifespans of certain components and lubricants, after which they no longer maintain the necessary
chemical and physical properties for operation, are given indicatively as follows.
1 year - Lubricant oil
1 year - Fuel filter cartridge
2 years - Coolants
