SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

S A F E T Y P R E C A U T I O N S

A careful operator is the best operator. Most accidents can be avoided by observing certain precautions to prevent the possibility of injury or damage. The following precautions should be taken to help prevent accidents.

Read them carefully before operating your new Farmtrac tractor.

THE TRACTOR

1.

Read this Manual carefully and familiarize yourself with all the controls before attempting to operate the tractor. Working with unfamiliar equipment or lack of operating knowledge may lead to accident.

2.

Do not permit anyone to ride on the tractor with the operator.

3.

Use the foot steps and assist handles when getting on or off the tractor. It is recommended that you face the tractor when mounting or dismounting. Keep steps and platform clear of mud and debris.

4.

Replace any warning sign on the tractor that becomes damaged or is painted over. Replace all missing, illegible or damaged safety decals.

11. Ensure that an implement coupled to the three-point linkage does not contact any part of the cab, if cab is provided.

12. Never leave equipment in the raised position.

13. If the engine or power steering ceases operating, stop the tractor immediately.

14. Always engage ‘Position Control’ when attaching equipment, transporting equipment and when no equipment is attached. Be sure hydraulic couplers are properly mounted and will disconnect safely in case of accidental detachment of the implement.

15. Ensure any attached equipment or accessories are correctly installed, are approved for use with the tractor, do not overload the tractor and are operated and maintained in accordance with the instructions issued by the equipment or accessory manufacturer.

16. Remember that your tractor, if abused or incorrectly used, can be dangerous and become a hazard both to the operator and to bystanders. Do not overload or operate with attached equipment which is unsafe, not designed for a particular task or is poorly maintained.

OPERATING THE TRACTOR

1.

Never start the engine while standing beside the tractor.

Always sit in the tractor seat, fasten seat belt and ensure that the Roll Over Protective Structure (ROPS)/Cab is in place before starting the engine.

2.

Apply the parking brake, place the P.T.O. lever in the

“OFF” position, set the control levers in the down position, the remote control valve levers in the neutral position and the transmission in neutral before starting the tractor.

3.

Do not bypass the safety starter switch. Consult your

Authorized Dealer if your safety starter controls are not operating correctly.

4.

Stop the engine, disconnect P.T.O. and apply the parking brake before dismounting.

5.

Do not engage the parking brake while the tractor is in motion.

6.

Never get off the tractor while it is in motion.

7.

Never park the tractor on a steep incline.

8.

To provide maximum lateral stability, add liquid ballast to tires, use cast iron wheel weights and set front and rear wheels to maximum tread width commensurate with the operation being performed.

9.

Do not tie ropes, chains, or cables to the axle or other parts of the chassis. Always hitch the load to the tractor’s drawbar in the lowest possible position, except when pulling implements specifically designed for and properly attached to the three point hitch.

10. Do not operate the tractor with a light front end. If the front tends to rise with heavy implements at the rear, install front end or front wheel weights.

fitted.

WARNING :

Hearing protection must be worn

when operating this tractor if a safety cab is not

CAUTION :

Your Farmtrac tractor is not equipped

with a Spark Arrestor. Where there is a risk of fire to the crop or environs or local legislation so requires, a suitable Spark Arrestor must be installed.

DRIVING THE TRACTOR

1.

Always drive the tractor with care and at speeds compatible with safety, especially when operating over rough ground, crossing ditches or slopes or when turning to avoid overturning the tractor.

2.

Never allow the tractor to over-run when going downhill, particularly with trailed equipment attached.

Keep the tractor in the same gear when going downhill as used when going uphill. Do not coast or free-wheel down hills. Use extreme caution while operating on steep slopes and use a low gear to maintain control with minimum braking.

3.

Lock the foot brakes pedals together when travelling

on the highway.

4.

When operating in the field unlock the brake pedals.

5.

Reduce speed before turning or applying the brakes.

Brake both the wheels simultaneously when making an emergency stop.

6.

Do not engage the differential lock when turning the tractor. When engaged, the lock will prevent the tractor taking the turn and may result in overturning of the tractor.

7.

If the tractor drive wheels are stuck, shift to reverse gear and back out, to prevent from lifting the front wheels off the round and possibly rolling the tractor over backwards.

8.

Slow moving vehicles on highways are dangerous.

Use a slow moving (SMV) sign in conjunction with red lights, tail lights, and flashing warning lights.

9.

Use extreme caution and avoid hard application of the tractor brakes when towing heavy loads. Any towed vehicle whose total weight exceeds that of the tractor must be equipped with brakes for safe operation.

10. Watch where you are going especially at row ends, on roads, around trees and any low hanging obstacle.

11. Dip the tractor lights when meeting a vehicle at night. Ensure the lights are adjusted to avoid blinding the driver of an on coming vehicle

(applicable only twin beam Head lamps are fitted.

12. Always check overhead clearance, especially when working in confined spaces.

13. Engage the clutch slowly when driving out of a ditch, gully or up a steep hillside. Disengage the clutch promptly if the front wheels rise off the ground.

OPERATING THE P.T.O.

1.

Ensure the P.T.O. guard is always installed and replace the P.T.O. shaft cap when the P.T.O. is not being used.

2.

Shut off the engine and wait for the P.T.O. shaft to stop turning before getting off the tractor to connect or disconnect P.T.O. driven equipment.

3.

Apply the parking brake and block the rear wheels, front and rear, when operating stationary P.T.O.

driven equipment.

4.

To avoid injury never clean, unclog, adjust or service

P.T.O. driven equipment while the tractor engine is running.

5.

Never wear loose clothing when operating the P.T.O.

or when near equipment that is rotating.

6.

Before operating implements, study the implement

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

manufacturer’s handbook. Certain implements require special operating techniques.

SERVICING THE TRACTOR

1.

Keep the tractor and equipment, particularly brakes and steering, maintained in a reliable and satisfactory condition to ensure your safety and comply with legal requirements.

2.

Stop the engine and disconnect battery terminals before performing any service on the tractor.

3.

To prevent fire or explosion, keep open flames away from the battery. To prevent sparks which could cause explosion, use jumper cables according to instructions.

4.

The fuel oil in the injection system and fluid in the hydraulic system are under high pressure and can penetrate the skin. Unqualified and unauthorized persons should not remove or attempt to adjust a pump, injector, nozzle or any other part of the fuel injection system. This also may be unlawful under certain circumstances. Failure to follow these instructions can result in serious injury.

5.

DO NOT

l Use your hand to check for leaks. Use a piece of cardboard or paper to search for leaks.

l

Stop the engine and relieve pressure before connecting or disconnecting hydraulic or fuel lines.

l l

Tighten all connections before starting the engine or pressurising lines.

If fluid is injected into the skin obtain medical attention immediately or gangrene may result.

6.

The cooling system operates under pressure which is controlled by the radiator cap. It is dangerous to remove the cap while the system is hot. Allow the engine to cool, then turn the cap slowly to the first stop and allow the pressure to escape before removing the cap entirely.

7.

Continuous long term contact with used engine oil may cause skin cancer. Avoid prolonged contact with used engine oil. Wash skin promptly with soap and water.

8.

Some components on your tractor, such as gaskets and friction surfaces (brake linings, clutch linings, etc.), may contain asbestos. Breathing asbestos dust is dangerous to your health. You are, therefore, advised to have any maintenance or repair operations on such components carried out by an Authorised Dealer. If, however, service operations are to be undertaken on parts that contain asbestos, the following essential precautions must be observed: vii

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

l l l l

Work out of doors or in a well ventilated area.

Dust found on the tractor or produced during work on the tractor should be removed by extraction and not by blowing.

Dust waste should be dampened, placed in a sealed container and marked to ensure safe disposal.

If any cutting, drilling etc., is attempted on materials containing asbestos, the item should be dampened and only hand tools or low speed power tools used.

9.

Do not run the tractor engine in a closed building without adequate ventilation as exhaust fumes may suffocate you.

10. Do not modify or alter or permit anyone else to modify or alter the tractor or any of its components or any tractor function without first consulting your

Authorised Dealer.

11. Tractor wheels are heavy. Handle them with care and ensure that, when stored, they cannot topple and cause injury.

DIESEL FUEL

1.

Under no circumstances should gasoline, alcohol or blended fuels be added to diesel fuel. These combinations can create an increased fire or explosive hazard. In a closed container, such as a fuel tank, these blends are more explosive than pure gasoline. Do not use them blends.

2.

Never remove the fuel cap or refuel with the engine running or hot.

3.

Do not smoke or allow an open flame near the fuel tank or while refuelling the tractor. Wait for the engine to cool before refuelling.

4.

Maintain control on the fuel filler pipe nozzle when filling the tank.

5.

Do not fill the fuel tank to capacity. Allow room for expansion.

6.

Wipe up spilled fuel immediately.

7.

Always tighten the fuel tank cap securely.

8.

If the original fuel tank cap is lost, replace it with an approved cap. A non-approved cap may not be safe.

9.

Keep equipment clean and properly maintained.

10. Do not drive equipment near open fire.

11. Never use fuel for cleaning purpose.

12. Use diesel fuel with a minimum cetane rating of

40 (Diesel fuel no. 2) at ambient temperatures above –70 0 C (20 0 F) or Diesel fuel no. 1 below this temperature. At very low ambient temperatures and/or at high attitude, a fuel with a higher cetane rating is required.

13. Diesel fuel with a sulphur content above 1.3% is not recommended.

14. Precaution should be taken to ensure that stored fuel is kept free of dirt, water, etc.

15. Fuel should be stored in black iron tanks, not galvanised tanks, as the galvanised coating will react with the fuel and form compounds that will contaminate the injection pump and injectors.

16. Bulk storage tanks should be installed away from direct sunlight and angled slightly so that the outlet pipe is at the higher end. In this way sediment in the tank will settle away from the outlet pipe.

17. To facilitate moisture and sediment removal, a drain plug should be provided at the lowest point

(at the opposite end to the outlet pipe). If there is no filter on the outlet pipe, then a funnel with a fine mesh screen should be used when filling the tractor fuel tank.

18. Fuel purchases should be arranged so that summer grade fuels are not held over and used in winter and vice-versa.

19. Refill the fuel tank via filler tube which is on the rear left-hand side of the hood.

CAUTION :

The fuel oil in the injection system is pressurized and can penetrate human skin with fatal results. Adjustment of fuel injection equipment should not be carried out by unqualified person.

SAFETY FRAME OR ROLL BAR (where fitted)

Your tractor may be equipped with a safety frame or roll bar which must be maintained in a serviceable condition.

Be careful when driving through doorways or working in confined spaces with low headroom.

Under no circumstances:

i) modify, drill, weld or alter the safety frame or roll bar in any way. Doing so could render you liable to legal prosecution in some countries.

ii) attempt to straighten or weld any part of the safety frame, roll bar or retaining brackets which have suffered damage. By doing so you may weaken the structure and endanger your safety.

iii) secure any parts on the safety frame or roll bar or attach if with other than the special high tensile bolts and nuts specified.

iv) attach chains or ropes to the safety frame or roll bar for pulling purpose.

v) take unnecessary risks even though your safety frame or roll bar affords you the maximum protection possible.

CAUTION :

If there is a risk from falling objects at your work environment, a Falling Objects

Protective Structure (FOPS) must be installed on your tractor.

Whenever you see the symbol it means:

ATTENTION ! BECOME ALERT ! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED !

I N S T R U M E N T S and OPERATION

SECTION A

The following pages in this section detail the location and function of the various instruments, switches and controls on your tractor. Even if you operate other tractors, you should read through this section of the Manual and ensure that you are thoroughly familiar with the location and function of all the features of your new tractor. Do not start the engine or attempt to drive or operate the tractor until you are fully accustomed to all the controls. It is too late to learn once the tractor is moving. If in doubt about any aspect of operation of the tractor, consult your Authorized

Dealer. Reference to tractor models or equipment not available in your territory or to options or accessories not fitted on your tractor should be ignored.

Particular attention should be paid to the recommendations for running-in to ensure that your tractor will give the long and dependable service for which it was designed.

See Section B for the routine lubrication and maintenance requirements. The specification of your tractor will be found in Section C.

warm water with a little detergent added.

SEAT BELT, SAFETY FRAME OR ROLL BAR

(where fitted)

WARNING :

Tractors equipped with a safety frame or roll bar also have a seat belt fitted.

Always use the seat belt with a safety frame or roll-bar installed. Do not use a seat belt if the tractor is not equipped with a safety frame or roll bar.

To lengthen the belt, tip the buckle away from the belt and pull on the buckle. With the belt fastened around you, pull the free end of the belt until it is a snug fit.

The belt may be sponged with clean, soapy water. Do

INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS

The following text describes the various gauges, switches and warning lights installed on your tractor,

See Figure 2A and 2B.

Tachometer

The tachometer indicates engine revolutions per minute.

Each division on the scale represents 100 rev/min.-eg.

with the needle indicating ‘20’ the engine is running at

2000 rev/min.

The yellow mark on the tachometer scale indicates the engine speed at which the standard P.T.O. speed of

540 rev/min is obtained.

The tachometer also records the total number of hours that the tractor has operated, based on an average engine speed of 1600 rev/min. If the engine is run at a speed lower than 1600 rev/min then the tachometer will accumulate hours at a rate slower than real time. Higher engine speeds will cause the tachometer to accumulate hours at a rate faster than real time.

The hours recorded should be used as a guide to determine hours servicing intervals. (see Section B of this Manual).

Engine Coolant Temperature Gauge

The gauge indicates the temperature of the engine coolant. If the needle enters the red area of the gauge while the engine is running, stop the engine and investigate the cause.

NOTE :

When the key-start switch is turned off, the

gauge needle will assume a random position.

NOTE : Please check with your Authorized Dealer on

which system is fitted on your Tractor.

Tractor Lights Switch

The lights switch is of the push-pull type and has three positions:

Fully in : lights OFF

Midway : side, rear and instrument lights ‘ON’

Fully out : side, rear, instrument and headlights ‘ON’

Engine Stop Control

Pull the stop control knob fully out and hold it in that position to cut off the fuel supply to the injectors and stop the engine. The knob must be pushed fully in before restarting the engine.

CONTROL, INSTRUMENTS AND OPERATION

STARTING THE ENGINE

Key-Start Switch

The key operated switch actuates the starting motor.

See ‘Starting The Engine’ for the correct operating procedure.

Road Speed Decal

The decal which is also illustrated on Page IX, shows the approximate tractor speed in all gear ratios. Accurate road speed charts are provided at the end of section C.

Charging Indicator

The red warning light on the instrument cluster indicates that the alternator is not charging the battery and should extinguish when the engine speed is increased above idle.

A five-position key-start switch is installed on all the tractors. For starting in temperatures down to –18 0 C

(0 0 F) the thermostart option may also be installed,

Basically the thermostart consists of an electrically heated element in the air in taken manifold which, when operated, ignites a measure of diesel fuel and introduces it into the combustion chamber. With the thermostart installed, all the five positions of the keystart switch are connected as shown in Figure 3.

However, if the automatic thermostart is not installed, the starting motor operates at position (4) while as position (5) is left unconnected (see Figure 3).

IMPORTANT :

Never push or tow the tractor to start

the engine. Doing so may overstress the drive train.

Fuel Gauge

The gauge indicates the level of fuel in the tank and is only operative with the key-start switch in the ‘ON’ position.

NOTE :

When the key-start switch is turned off the

gauge needle may assume a random position and may indicates a fuel level greater than the true level. Always check the fuel level with the key-start switch on.

NOTE:

A safety start switch prevents operation of the

starting motor unless the transmission range lever is in the neutral (N) position.

Air Restriction Warning Light (where fitted)

When this lamp lights up, clean or replace the outer element of dryair cleaner. If light comes on during tractor operation when replacement of element is not immediately possible, just clean the element and reduce the engine speed so on to prevent the lamp from lighting.

Before starting the engine, always carry out the following procedure: l l

Sit in the driver’s seat and ensure that the parking brake latch is firmly applied.

Push the stop control knob fully in.

l l l

Ensure that both gearshift levers are in neutral and that the P.T.O. lever is in the disengaged position.

Move both hydraulic lift control levers fully forward.

Place the remote control valve levers in neutral.

Seven-Terminal Trailer Socket (where fitted)

This socket allows lights, turn signals and other electrical equipment on a trailer or impliment to be connected.

This is fitted at the rear of driver’s seat.

Always use additional lighting on the mounted implement if this conceals the turn signals and other lights at the rear of the tractor.

WARNING : Start the tractor only from the driver’s

seat. If the key-start switch is bypassed, the engine may start inadvertently with a gear selected and cause sudden and unexpected movement of the tractor or a tractor runaway. Wear eye protection when starting the tractor with jump leads or when charging the battery.

In cold weather with the engine cold, depress the clutch and turn the key-start switch to position (4), hold for 20-30 seconds and then turn fully clockwise to position (5). Operate the starter until the engine starts or for a maximum of 30 seconds.

l Return the throttle to the idle position and check that all warning lights extinguish and gauge readings are normal.

NOTE : If the engine fails to start, repeat the procedure,

after waiting for 1-2 minutes. If the thermo-start is fitted, the key should be held at position (4) only for 7-10 seconds when attempting to restart the tractor.

STARTING THE TRACTOR WITH JUMP LEADS

If it is necessary to use jump leads (booster cables) to start the tractor, proceed as follows: l Connect one end of the red jump lead to the tractor battery positive (+) terminal and the other end to the auxiliary battery positive (+) terminal.

NOTE :

When using an auxiliary battery to start the engine, ensure that the polarity of the jump leads is correct

- positive to positive, negative to negative otherwise the alternator may be damaged.

STOPPING THE ENGINE

To stop the engine, carry out the following procedure: l Sit in the driver’s seat and close the throttle.

l l

Ensure that the parking brake latch is firmly applied.

Ensure that both gearshift levers are in neutral and that the P.T.O. lever is in the disengaged position.

l l l

Pull the stop control knob fully out and turn the keystart switch off.

Move the hydraulic lift control levers fully forward to lower all hydraulic equipment to the ground.

Move the remote control valve levers fully forward and then fully rearward before placing them in neutral position.

WARNING :

Check the area beneath the

equipment to ensure that no injury or damage will be caused when equipment is lowered.

PARKING BRAKE

To parking brake consists of a latch that is used to secure the foot brakes in the applied position. (See Figure 4).

CONTROL, INSTRUMENTS AND OPERATION

4.

Parking Brake

1. T-handle

To operate the parking brake, lock the brakes together

(see the following text titled ‘Foot-brakes’). Apply the foot brakes, pull up the T-handle and rotate one quarter turn. To free the parking brake, rotate the T-handle one quarter turn and release. Momentarily depress the foot brakes to disengage the ratched. In Figure 4, the parking brake is shown in the applied position.

IMPORTANT :

Ensure that the parking brake is fully

released before driving off.

FOOT CONTROLS

For details of foot operated controls, refer to Figure 5 and the following text.

5.

Foot Controls

1. Brake pedals

2. Foot accelerator

3. Differential lock pedal

4. Clutch pedal

5. Locking latch

Foot Brakes

The foot brake pedals, Figure 5, activate the rear wheel brakes and may be operated independently, to aid turning in confined spaces or together for normal stopping. When operating in the field, the brake pedals may be unlocked. However, due to the close proximity of the pedals to one another, it is still possible to apply both brakes together, when required.

WARNING :

For your safety, always lock the

brake pedals together when travelling at transport speeds, or on a highway or if a trailer is attached. To lock the pedals together, slide the latch (5) across to engage in the hole in the underside of the right-hand pedal, as shown.

Foot Accelerator

The foot accelerator, Figure 5, may be used independently of the hand throttle to control the speed of the tractor. It is recommended that you use the foot accelerator when driving on the highway.

NOTE :

When it is required to use the foot accelerator,

set the hand throttle to the idle position (fully forward).

Differential Lock

In field conditions including wheel slip, hold down the differential lock pedal, Figure 5, until the lock is felt to engage. The lock will automatically disengage when traction at the rear wheels equalizes.

If conditions cause a rear wheel to spin at speed, reduce the engine speed to idle before engaging the differential lock.

WARNING :

Never engage the differential lock

at speeds above 5 mph (8 kmph) or when turning the tractor. When engaged, the lock will prevent the tractor from turning.

Clutch

When the clutch pedal, Figure 5, is depressed the drive between the engine and transmission will be disengaged.

Use the clutch pedal to transfer engine power smoothly to the driving wheels when moving off from a standstill.

Always depress the clutch pedal to engage or disengage a gear ratio or when operating transmission P.T.O. or live P.T.O. (see Power Take Off in this section of the

Manual)

NOTE :

Avoid resting your foot on the clutch pedal

when operating the tractor. Such action will lead to early clutch failure.

6

TRANSMISSION

The transmission is of the constant mesh type and has eight forward and two reverse speed ratios.

WARNING :

To prevent inadvertent tractor

movement, avoid accidental contact with the gearshift levers. Always stop the engine, firmly apply the parking brake and place both gearshift levers in neutral before dismounting from the tractor. A safety switch prevent operation of the starting motor unless the right-hand lever is in the neutral (N) position.

The gearshift levers protrude from the center of the transmission, beneath the steering wheel.

The left-hand gearshift lever (main) is used to select any one of four forward or one reverse gear ratio. The right-hand lever (range) is used to select the high (H) or low (L) range which has the effect of doubling the number of available gear ratios. Stop the tractor and fully depress the clutch before moving either of the gear levers. See Figure 6 for the gear shift positions.

IMPORTANT : When towing the tractor, it is essential

that the transmission main (right-hand) lever is kept in the neutral (N) position. Non compliance may result in damage to transmission components.

SECTION A

Avoid overloading the engine. Operating in too high a gear under heavy load may cause excessive engine overloading. Overloading occurs when the engine will not respond to a throttle increase.

Use the lower gear ratios when pulling heavy loads and avoid continuous operation at constant engine speeds.

Operating the tractor in too low a gear with a light load and high engine speed will waste fuel. You will save fuel and minimize engine wear by selecting the correct gear ratio for each particular operation.

Check the instruments frequently and keep the radiator and various oil reservoirs filled to the recommended levels.

POWER TAKE-OFF (P.T.O.)

The power take-off (P.T.O.) on your tractor transfers engine power directly to mounted or trailed equipment via a splined shaft at the rear of the tractor.

The P.T.O. shaft is a 6-spline, 1.375 in (34.9 mm) diameter shaft designed for 540 rev/min operation, the speed at which most P.T.O. actuated equipment are designed to run.

To obtain 540 rev/min at the P.T.O., set the tractor engine speed to 1600 rev/min if your tractor is equipped with transmission P.T.O., or 1800 rev/min for live PTO models.

For most P.T.O. operations the ground speed of the tractor is controlled by selection of the appropriate gear ratio while maintaining the correct P.T.O. speed by using the throttle.

SECTION A

Hang a chain or lean an iron bar against the tractor to earth static electricity.

Start the engine and engage the P.T.O. The recommended belt speed is 3000-3200 ft/min

(15.3-16.3 m/sec). To obtain this speed set the engine speed at 2000 rev/min.

WARNING:

Never attempt to re-fit or adjust a

belt in motion. Never approach a moving belt when wearing loose clothing. Apply the parking brake, place both gearshift levers in neutral and block all four wheels before operating the belt pulley.

HYDRAULIC SYSTEM

Your tractor is equipped with a hydraulic system providing accurate and sensitive control over a wide range of operating conditions.

Two distinct systems are incorporated

1.

Upper Link Draft Control.

2.

Position Control.

The type of control selected will depend on the type of implement in use and the operating conditions.

Draft Control

is most suitable for mounted implements operating in the ground. Changes in the working depth or soil resistance cause the draft loading on the implement to increase or decrease. This change in draft loading is sensed through the top link of the three-point linkage and the hydraulic system responds by raising or lowering the implement to restore the draft loading. In this way a uniform draft load is maintained on the implement. The system responds to both upper link compression and tension loads and is, thus, described as a double-acting system.

Position Control

provides accurate and sensitive control of implements such as sprayers, rakes, mowers, etc., that operate above the ground. Position Control would not normally be used with ground engaging equipment unless it is essential to maintain a constant depth regardless of the draft load.

The tractor has a dual lever system, i.e., separate levers for Draft and Position Control functions. See Figure 11.

The Draft and Position Control levers are used to raise or lower the three-point linkage (and implement) to the required height or working depth.

9

CONTROL, INSTRUMENTS AND OPERATION

WARNING:

Do not transport or attach equipment when the hydraulic system is in Draft

Control Use position Control for these operations.

Always lower hydraulic equipment to the ground before stopping the tractor.

11. Hydraulic Control

1. Draft Control lever

2. Adjustable stop

3. Position Control lever

In order to operate the hydraulic three-point linkage the auxiliary services control valve knob (if fitted) must be correctly set. The auxiliary services control valve (A.S.C.

valve) directs oil to the three-point linkage, to external cylinders or both together, as may be required.

To operate the three-point alone push the A.S.C. valve knob fully in (rearward). See figure 12.

Pull the A.S.C. valve knob fully out (forward) to operate external services only.

Draft Control Operation

Move the Draft Control Lever in the quadrant to find the point near the center where the lift links neither raise nor lower. This is the neutral point.

Lower the implement into work using the Draft control

Lever. Push the Lever forward to increase the draft loading. Pull rearwards to reduce the draft loading. In most circumstances, forward movement of the Draft

Control Lever will increase implement depth and rearward movement will reduce the depth.

Once set, the tractor hydraulic system will automatically adjust the implement depth to maintain an even pull on the tractor and so reduce wheel slip to a minimum.

When lowering the implement into work push the Draft

Control Lever down to the bottom of the quadrant to ensure positive engagement of the implement in the ground then immediately raise the Draft Control Lever until the required implement depth is achieved.

When the required implement working depth has been established, set the adjustable stop adjacent to the Draft

Control Lever to locate the position for repeated use.

The Draft Control Lever may be eased sideways to bypass the adjustable stop, if required.

A pressure sensitive feathering valve, installing within the hydraulic system, automatically regulates the hydraulic oil flow to give smoother response to draft signals when using soil engaging implements. In addition, some models have a manually operated flow control valve fitted to regulate the rate of correction of the hydraulic system.

12. A.S.C. Valve (where fitted)

1. A.S.C. tapping

2. A.S.C. valve knob

The midway position is selected to operate the three point linkage and external cylinders simultaneously. See

OPERATING REMOTE CYLINDERS WITH THE A.S.C.

VALVE in this section of the manual.

13. Flow Control Valve

1. Flow control valve rocker

10

1

Tilt the Flow Control Valve Rocker, Figure 13, rearward for the maximum rate of correction and forward for the minimum correction rate. The rate of oil flow (correction) of the hydraulic system is infinitely variable between these two points.

Pull the Draft Control Lever to the top of the quadrant to override the Flow Control Valve and raise the implement quickly.

NOTE: When operating in Draft Control, the Position

Control Lever, Figure 11, should normally be at the bottom of the quadrant. However, the Position Control

Lever may be used in conjunction with Draft Control to limit the maximum depth of correction to achieve a more even depth of cultivation in fields with widely varying soil conditions.

When grading and backfilling with light equipment, such as a rear blade, it may be desirable to prevent the blade from “diving”. This is accomplished by using the Position

Control Lever in conjunction with the Draft Control Lever.

See “Draft Control Operation with Position Control” on this page.

Position Control Operation

Set the required implement height/depth using the

Position Control Lever, Figure 11. Pull the Lever Back to raise the implement height/depth using the Position

Control Lever. Pull the lever back to raise the implement, push forward to lower. Implement height/depth is relative to the position of the Lever in the quadrant.

When the required implement working height/depth has been established, set the adjustable stop adjacent to the Position Control Lever to locate the position for repeated use. The Lever may be eased sideways when it is required to by pass the adjustable stop.

The adjustable stop is reversible after loosening the central clamp screw so that it may also be used when operating in Draft Control.

When operating in Position Control it is of no advantage to restrict the oil flow in the hydraulic system. However, the manual flow control valve (where fitted) may be used to reduce the rate of lift of the three-point linkage, if required. To reduce the rate of lift, tilt the Flow Control

Valve Rocker, Figure 13, forward. Tilt the Rocker rearward to increase the rate of lift.

IMPORTANT : When transporting equipment on the

three-point linkage set the adjustable stop to maintain the Position Control Lever in the raised position. This will prevent accidental movement of the lever which could result in attached equipment lowering and becoming damaged or damaging the road surface.

SECTION A

Draft Control operation with Position Control

Position Control may be used together with the Draft

Control as follows:

Set the Position Control Lever at the maximum desired implement depth. The hydraulic system will not lower the implement below this depth. This will also prevent

“diving” which may be encountered will light equipment, such as a rear blade, when grading or backfilling.

Adjust the Draft Control Lever for the maximum required draft load (pull).

The hydraulic lift system will now provide normal draft response within the range set by the Position Control.

This adjustment provides a more uniform depth while maintaining an even pull in widely varying soil conditions.

AUXILIARY SERVICES

Accessory Cover (Where fitted)

The live tapping on top of the accessory cover (where fitted), Figure 14, is connected directly into the tractor hydraulic circuit. A remote cylinder connected to the live tapping may be extended or retracted, in conjunction with the three-point linkage, by moving the Draft Control

Lever.

14. Accessory Cover

1. Live tapping

Operating Remote Cylinders with the A.S.C.

Valve (where fitted)

The optional Auxiliary Services Control (A.S.C.) Valve is installed in place of the accessory cover or remote control valves and may be supplied with pipe work leading to a convenient coupling at the rear of the tractor.

Alternatively, remote cylinders may be connected directly into the tapping on top of the A.S.C. valve. See

Figure 15.

11

CONTROL, INSTRUMENTS AND OPERATION

Pull the Draft Control Lever back to the neutral position, i.e., when the three-point linkage neither raises nor lowers. Set the adjustable stop adjacent to it.

WARNING :

Before disconnecting remote

cylinders, ensure the implement is fully lowered and push the A.S.C. valve knob (where fitted) fully in.

NOTE :

If the implement is removed with the cylinder

extended then oil will be lost from the rear axle housing.

Top up the rear axle, if necessary.

WARNING :

Draft Control is recommended when operating Auxiliary Services. Never change from Draft to Position Control while Auxiliary Services are in use as this may cause sudden unexpected movement of the implement and could result in injury to a by-stander.

The A.S.C. valve is operated by means of a knob installed beneath the front of the seat, Figure 15. With the A.S.C. valve knob pushed fully in (rearward) oil will be directed only to the three-point linkage when the Draft

Control lever is raised above the neutral position.

Pull the knob out to the mid-position. This will allow oil to flow to the three-point linkage and the remote cylinder together.

Ensure that oil contained within the remote cylinders is clean, has not broken down due to long storage and is of the correct grade. Contaminated oil within the cylinders will be drawn into the tractor hydraulic system when the cylinders are in use and may cause early failure of transmission or hydraulic components.

If the equipment is required to give a positive hold or where the full power of the tractor hydraulic system is required to operate a remote cylinder(s), it is recommended that a remote control valve be used instead of the Auxiliary Services Control valve.

Operating Remote Cylinders with Remote

Control Valves (where fitted)

To facilitate the operation of remote cylinders, optional double spool remote control valves are also available for your tractor.

Double Spool Remote Control Valves are installed on

15.

A.S.C. Valve (where fitted)

1. A.S.C. tapping

2. A.S.C. valve knob

Pull the A.S.C. valve knob fully out (forward) to cut off the oil supply to the three-point linkage and direct the oil to the remote cylinder only.

NOTE : Hydraulic oil will take the path of least resistance.

Therefore, operation of the three-point linkage will depend upon the type of auxiliary equipment in use. Do not operate the tractor with the A.S.C. valve knob pulled out and no cylinder connected as this will cause the hydraulic system relief valve to blow continuously and overheat the oil. This can also occur when a cylinder is fully extended or retracted and the control is not returned to neutral.

To extend the remote cylinder, pull the Draft Control

Lever to the rear of the neutral point. When fully extended, return the Draft Control Lever to the neutral position to avoid blowing the circuit relief valve. Push the Draft Control Lever forward of the neutral position to retract the remote cylinder.

Double Spool Remote Control Valve

1. Quick-drop valve

2. Float Valve

3. Drop Port

4. Lift Port the hydraulic top cover, replacing the accessory cover and are connected by pipework to quick-release couplers at the rear of the tractor. Single acting or double acting remote cylinders may be operated provided the float and ‘quick-drop’ valves are correctly set and the cylinders are connected to the appropriate coupler(s), as shown in the remote control valve application chart.

12

The in board (left hand) spool of double-spool valves has a ‘quick drop’ facility. This feature eliminates system back pressure and will assure the gravity return of a single-acting cylinder, as used on implements such as tipping trailers and semi-mounted reversible ploughs.

NOTE:

If it is required to operate single acting cylinders,

always use the inboard (left hand) spool.

The out-board (right-hand) spool of the double-spool valve has a ‘float valve’. A partially open float valve will allow an implement to float or follow the ground contour, a feature that is useful for grading operations.

Implement down pressure may be varied by adjustment of the float valve between fully open and fully closed positions.

To operate a remote control valve, connect the remote cylinder feed hose to the lift coupler by inserting the hose in the coupling after removing the dust cap, ensuring that it is correctly seated. The return hose from a double-acting cylinder must be connected to the drop coupler.

NOTE :

The lift couplers have blue dust caps and the drop couplers have red dust caps.

If a second remote cylinder is to be installed it may be operated after connection to the second set of couplers.

CAUTION :

Before connecting or

disconnecting hydraulic hoses at the remote couplers, stop the engine and relieve the pressure in the circuit by moving the remote control valve lever(s) fully forward, fully rearward and then to the neutral position. Ensure no one will be injured by moving equipment when relieving pressure in the system.

Before disconnecting cylinders or equipment ensure the equipment or implement is supported securely.

Never work under equipment supported by a hydraulic

SECTION A

device because it may drop if the control is actuated

(even with the engine stopped) or in the event of failure, etc. Always use a secure support for equipment which must be serviced while in the raised position.

NOTE :

Before connecting remote cylinder hoses, thoroughly clean the connections to prevent oil contamination. Remote cylinders are operated by oil drawn from the tractor hydraulic system. Therefore, always check and replenish the hydraulic system oil after remote cylinder equipment has been connected and cycled a few times.

Ensure that oil contained within the remote cylinders is clean, has not broken down due to long storage and is of the correct grade.

The ‘quick-drop’ and/or ‘float valve’ should be set as indicated in the ‘Remote Control Valve Application Chart’ below.

Pull the control handle rearward to extend a remote cylinder, push forward to retract a cylinder.

Each spool valve has detents that retain the control handle in the selected retract or extend position. When the remote cylinder reaches the end of its stroke the handle will automatically return to the neutral position.

NOTE :

When operating in the single-acting mode with

the ‘quick’ drop’ or ‘’float valve’ open , the control handle will not automatically return to neutral when the remote cylinder reaches the end of the stroke. The control handle must be manually returned to neutral to avoid ‘blowing’ the relief valve.

Never unscrew the ‘quick-drop’ valve for the continuous return of oil to the lift port, such as in hydraulic motor operation. It is recommended that hydraulic equipment requiring a continuous supply of oil be operated from the A.S.C. valve and the return pipe routed into the rear axle oil filler port.

CONTROL, INSTRUMENTS AND OPERATION

Do not operate the tractor unless the ‘quick-drop’ valve is either fully closed (in) or fully open (out).

THREE-POINT LINKAGE AND TRAILED

EQUIPMENT

Before attaching equipment to your tractor study the whole of the following text: l

Ensure the check chains are adjusted to suit the equipment.

l Remove the drawbar if close-mounted equipment is being attached.

WARNING :

Do not transport or attach-in equipment when the hydraulic system is in Draft

Control. Use Position Control for these operations.

Always lower hydraulic equipment to the ground before stopping the tractor.

Most equipment can be attached to your tractor as follows:

1.

Position the tractor so that the lower link hitch points are level with and slightly ahead of the implement hitch pins. Carefully inch the tractor rearwards to align the tractor and implement hitch points. Stop the engine and insert the hitch pins and secure with linch pins.

2.

Lengthen or shorten the top link until the implement mast pin can be inserted through the mast and top link. Adjust the top link to an initial 27 in. (685 mm) setting.

3.

Attach remote equipment as described previously in this section of the manual.

4.

When detaching equipment, the procedure is the reverse of attaching. The following tips will make hitching easier and safer: l l

Always park the equipment on a firm, level surface.

Support equipment so that it will not tip or fall when detached from the tractor.

l Always relieve all hydraulic pressure before unhitching.

2. Lower end of lift rod

3. Securing pin

WARNING : Before disconnecting a lift rod from

the lower link, stop the engine, lower attached equipment to the ground and ensure the hydraulic lift control lever is fully forward.

Ensure attached equipment is correctly supported and that no residual pressure remains in the hydraulic system before removing the lift rod securing pin. To relieve pressure in the tractor hydraulic system move the lift control levers fully forward, fully rearward and then to the neutral position with the engine stopped.

For normal operation the left-hand lift rod should be adjusted so that the length between centers of the fixing points is 25.4 in (645 mm.)

Lift Rods

To adjust the left-hand lift rod, remove the securing pin,

Figure 17, and turn the lower half of the lift rod to lengthen or shorten the lift rod assembly, as required. Ensure the grease fitting remains facing rearward.

18. Right-Hand Lift Rod Adjustment

1. Crank handle

14

The right-hand lift rod is adjusted by means of a crank handle on the levelling box. See Figures 18 & 19.

The levelling box as shown in Figure 19 is fitted on tractors in territories where ROPS is also installed. In all other territories, the levelling box as shown in Figure

18 is installed.

Turn the crank handle clockwise to shorten the lift rod or turn anti-clockwise to lengthen the lift rod.

SECTION A

IMPORTANT :

When attaching mounted or semimounted equipment to the three-point linkage or when coupling trailed equipment to the drawbar, ensure that there is adequate clearance between the implement and the tractor. The clearance in the raised position should be checked by raising the implement carefully in Position

Control. Check the swing clearance by performing a series of left and right-hand turns with the tractor and implement combination.

Ensure that the check chains are adjusted to prevent damage to the tractor.

In some territories, a modified top link with lockable handle is also provided. See figure 21.

The locking handle should be turned away from the top link to unlock the top link before adjusting it. The sleeve can be adjusted by rotating it in clockwise or anticlockwise direction with the help of the locking handle itself. Always ensure that the top link is locked after the adjustments are carried out.

When operating in Draft Control, draft signals are transmitted via the top link and hydraulic lift rocker to the control valve within the hydraulic system. The draft signal transmitted may be varied by adjustment of the lift rocker connections.

The lift rocker has two holes for attachment of the top link. With the top link in the upper hole of the rocker, as shown in Figure 21, the hydraulic system is more sensitive to changes in draft loading and is the recommended setting for light draft loads and equipment.

With the top link in the lower hole in the rocker, the system is less sensitive to draft loadings and should be used when operating with heavier equipment or for hearvy draft loads.

15

CONTROL, INSTRUMENTS AND OPERATION

Internal Check Chains (where fitted)

Internal check chains are installed to control lateral movement of equipment connected to the three-point linkage. See Figure 22.

To adjust the length of a check chain, disconnect the link pin and insert in an alternative link in the chain.

FRONT WHEEL TRACK ADJUSTMENT

26. Swinging Drawbar Clevis Positions

The drawbar retaining pin may be inserted in either of the holes (1) or (2), Figure 27, to vary the drawbar/ implement hitch point relative to the P.T.O. shaft. Always use the close-coupled position (hole 2) when towing equipment exerting high static downward forces, such as two wheeled trailers etc.

WARNING :

A tractor with narrow wheel settings may not be as stable under the same conditions as a tractor with wide wheel settings. Use the maximum track width possible, compatible with your operation, especially on rough ground, slopes or across ditches.

Adjustment of the front wheel track width is effected by extending both ends of the axle equally.

To change track width, block the rear wheels, jack up the front axle and straighten the front wheels to align the toe-in marks, Figure 28, on both steering spindles.

Tighten the axle extension bolts to 115 lbf. ft. (160 Nm) and the disc to hub nuts to 82 lbf. ft. (111 Nm.). Recheck the torque setting after every 50 hours of operation.

NOTE : Ensure an equal number of notches are exposed

at either end of the track rod sleeve.

TOE IN ADJUSTMENT

To obtain optimum life of the front tires, Toe-in must be checked every 50 hours or after every change in the track setting. Check that the toe-in marks, Figure 28, are always aligned. In case of any misalignment, proceed as detailed below.

SECTION A

Toe-in measurement

If the Toe-in alignment marks on the spindle arms and axle sections are not visible, or replacement parts have been installed, use the following procedure to determine the Toe-in setting:

On flat level ground slowly drive the tractor in a straight line for at least 10 feet (3 metres). Stop the tractor and ensure the front wheels remain in the straight ahead position.

Mark the inboard rim of each front wheel towards the front at wheel center height.

Measure and note the distance between the two marks, call this dimension A, Figure 32.

Tractors Fitted with Mechanical Steering

Loosen the clamp bolts, Figure 31, on the left-hand drag link and rotate the sleeve until the Toe-in marks (Figure

28) are aligned. Repeat the procedure on the right hand drag link. Tighten all nuts and bolts securely.

Remove the RHS tie rod end (see Figure 30) from the arm steering spindle and loosen the clamp bolt. Screw in or screw out the tie rod end, as desired. Refix the tie rod end in the steering arm and check that the Toe-in marks align. Repeat the procedure, if required. Torque the tie rod end ball joints to 115 lbf. ft. (160 Nm.) Tighten the tie rod end clamp.

Maintain the straight ahead position and move the tractor forward so the wheels rotate through 180 0 and the marks on the wheels face the rear at wheel center height.

Again measure and note the distance between the two marks, call this dimension B.

NOTE:

If dimension A is larger, then A-B gives the

Toe-out. If dimension B is larger, then B-A gives the

Toe-in See Section C for toe-in adjustment.

To ensure accurate results it is recommended that the above procedure is completed three times with three different marks equally spaced around each wheel rim and the average dimension for Toe-in taken. This method minimizes any inaccuracy due to wheel rim run-out.

WARNING :

Owners should ensure that all

steering components are maintained in a reliable and satisfactory condition to ensure safe operation and comply with legal requirements.

19

CONTROL, INSTRUMENTS AND OPERATION

REAR WHEEL TRACK ADJUSTMENT

Rear wheel track adjustment is effected by changing the wheel rim relative to the center disc, the rim and/or the disc relative to the axle hub or by interchanging the rear wheels.

WARNING :

A tractor with narrow wheel

settings may not be as stable under the same conditions as a tractor with wide wheel settings. Use the maximum width possible which is compatible with your operation, especially on rough ground, slopes or across ditches.

The sectional drawings shown in Figure 33 illustrate the wheel rim and disc positions relative to the hub at various track settings.

Each drawing represents either a left-hand wheel viewed from the rear or a right-hand wheel viewed from the front.

NOTE :

When interchanging left and right-hand wheel

assemblies, ensure the “V” of the tire tread remains pointing in the direction of forward travel.

With certain options and/or tire sizes, the smaller track settings may not be attainable due to minimal clearance between tires and fenders or equipment.

When refitting or adjusting a wheel, tighten the bolts to the following torques then recheck after driving the tractor for 200 yards (200 m.) after 1 hour and 8 hours operation and thereafter at 50 hour intervals.

Rear disc to hub nuts 200 lbf. ft.

(270 Nm)

Rear disc to rim nuts 130 lbf. ft.

(176 Nm)

WARNING: Never operate the tractor with a loose

wheel rim or disc. Always tighten nuts to the specified torque and at the recommended intervals.

WARNING : Your tractor is equipped with lights

which meet lighting regulations when operating or travelling on the public highway. If the wheel track setting is adjusted beyond the initial factory position then you may be required to reposition the lights or fix auxiliary lighting to comply with legal requirements.

Additionally, before travelling on the highway, ensure that the overall tractor width does not exceed the maximum permitted in your country.

Disc/Rim Position

TRACTOR WEIGHING

For maximum performance in heavy draft conditions weight should be added to the tractor in the form of liquid ballast, cast iron weights or a combination of both.

Front end ballast may be required for stability and steering control when weight is transferred from the front to the rear wheels as the implement is raised by the tractor three-point linkage.

As a general guide, tractors should be ballasted so that approximately one third of the total tractor weight (less implement) is on the front wheels.

SECTION A

When a rear mounted implement is raised to the transport position, the weight on the front wheels should be at least 20% of total tractor weight.

Add additional front end ballast, as required, for stability during operation and transport. Ballasting of the front end may not always provide adequate stability if the tractor is operated at high speed on rough terrain.

Reduce tractor speed and exercise caution under these conditions.

When using front mounted implements, add weight to the rear wheels to maintain traction and stability.

IMPORTANT :

Only sufficient weight should be added as is necessary to provide traction and stability. Adding more weight than necessary results in unnecessary loads being imposed on the tractors and a higher fuel consumption. When adding weight, adhere to the maximum tire capacity loading stated in the tables towards the end of Section C of this manual. If further information or assistance is required on tractor weighing consult your Dealer.

When adding ballast, the total weight of the tractor including liquid, cast iron weights and mounted equipment (where specified) should not exceed the maximum shown in the following text entitled ‘Weighing

Limitations.

WARNING :

If proper stability cannot be achieved within the following weighing limitations, reduce the load on the tractor until stability is restored.

Weighing Limitations

For optimum driveline reliability and tractive efficiency, maximum ballasted tractor weight (base tractor plus ballast and any mounted equipment such as sprayers, loaders etc., including the load carried there on) must not exceed 6900 lb. (3130 kg.).

Maximum permissible rear axle loading with ballast and mounted equipment is 6000 lb. (2722 kg.)

NOTE :

Total rear axle weight is measured with only

the rear wheels on the scales inclusive liquid and cast iron ballast and with mounted equipment in the raised position.

The total front axle load must not exceed 3000 lb. (1360 kg.) or the load capacity of the tires. See tire pressure and Load Tables in Section C of this Manual.

NOTE : The front axle loading includes a front end loader

in the raised position with full load in the bucket.

The above mentioned maximum permissible load limits are specified for speeds up to 10 mph (16 kmph.). For speeds above 10 mph (16 kmph), the permissible loading should be reduced by 20% from the limits specified above.

Cast Iron weights

Up to three cast iron weights may be added to each rear wheel. See Figure 34. The weights weigh 70 lb. (32 kg.) each, giving a maximum rear axle ballast weight of

420 lb. (194 kg.)

34. Rear Wheel Weights

Segmented, cast iron front wheel weights are available as a set of four to give a total front wheel ballast weight of 172 lb. (78 kg.). See Figure 35.

35. Front Wheel Weights

Wafer type front end weights are also available in sets of five. The weights are mounted on a cast iron carrier.

The weights hook over the mounting bracket and are secured by retaining bolts, Figure 36. Each wafer weight weighs 60 lb (27 kg) to give a total weight per set of 330 lb (150 kg) including mounting bracket and installation hardware.

21

CONTROL, INSTRUMENTS AND OPERATION

38. Front Wafer Weights

1. Retaining bolts

1

A tow hook is built into the mounting bracket. However, if this facility is required when the front end weights are installed then the centre weight of the five must be replaced by a special weight with a built in tow-hook.

This special weight is 30 lb (13 kg) heavier than the standard weight and has the effect of increasing the overall weight of the set to 360 lb (163 kg).

NOTE :

When the central tow-hook weight is installed then the retaining bolts must also be installed.

Liquid Ballast

Filling the front and rear tires with liquid ballast is a convenient method of adding weight. A solution of calcium chloride and water is recommended. This gives a low freezing point and provides a higher density than plain water.

The table shows the quantity of calcium chloride and water required for each tire size option and is based on

0.6 kg. of calcium chloride per litre of water to give a

75% fill of the tire. This calcium chloride/water solution will give protection from freezing point down to an ambient temperature of –46 0 C (–51 0 F).

CAUTION :

When mixing the ballast solution,

it is imperative the calcium chloride flakes are added to the water and the solution stirred until the calcium chloride is dissolved.

Never add water to calcium chloride.

NOTE : When filling tires with a calcium chloride water

solution the valve should be at the highest point on the wheel. If the tire contains liquid ballast, the valve should be at the lowest point when checking or adjusting air pressure. Special equipment is required to water ballast tires. See your Tractor Dealer or Tire Supplier for details.

Front tractor tubes do not have air/water valves fitted as standard equipment, A suitable air/water valve must be fitted to enable front tires to be filled with calcium chloride solution.

TIRE INFLATION

Upon receiving your tractor, check the air pressure in the tires and recheck every 50 hours or weekly.

When checking tire pressure, inspect the tires for damaged tread and side walls. Neglected damage will lead to early tire failure.

Inflation pressure affects the amount of weight that a tire may carry. Locate the tire size for your tractor in the

Tire Pressure and Load Tables in Section C of this

Manual. Do not exceed the load for the pressure listed.

Do not over or under inflate the tires.

WARNING :

Installing or servicing tires can

be dangerous. Whenever possible, trained personnel should be called in to service or install tires.

In any event, to avoid the possibility of serious or fatal injury take the following precautions:

l l l

Never attempt tire repairs on a public road or highway.

Do not inflate a steering tire (front tire) above the manufacturer’s maximum pressure shown on the tire or beyond the maximum pressure shown in

Section-C if the tire is not marked with the maximum pressure rating.

Never inflate any traction tire (rear tire) over 35 lbf/ in 2 (2.4 bar). If the bead does not seat on the rim by the time this pressure is reached, deflate the tire, relubricate the bead with a soap/water solution and reinflate. Do not use oil or grease. Inflate beyond 35 lbf/in 2 with unseated beads may break the bead or rim with explosive force sufficient to

Torque wheel to axle nuts to specification after reinstalling the wheel. Check nut tightness daily until torque stabilizes.

Use jack stands or other suitable blocking to support the tractor while repairing tires. Ensure the jack is placed on a firm, level surface.

SECTION A

l l l l l

Do not put any part of your body under the tractor or start the engine while the tractor is on the jack.

Never hit a tire or rim with a hammer.

Ensure the rim is clean and free of rust or damage.

Do not weld, braze, otherwise repair or use a damaged rim.

Do not inflate a tire unless the rim is mounted on the tractor or is secured so that it will not move if the tire or rim should suddenly fail.

When fitting a new or repaired tire, use a clip-on valve adaptor with a remote gauge that allows the operator to stand clear of the tire while inflating it.

Use a safety cage.

SECTION B

L U B R I C A T I O N and MAINTENANCE

This section gives full details of the service procedures necessary to maintain your tractor at peak efficiency while the lubrication and maintenance chart on page 2 provides a ready reference to these requirements.

In addition to the regular service operations listed, the following items should be checked every 10 hours or daily during the first 50 hours of operation :

l Engine oil level l Power steering pump oil level l l l Transmission oil level l Rear wheel nuts for tightness l Rear axle oil level

At the first 50 hour service, ensure that the following additional service operations are carried out :

l Change engine oil & filter l Check cylinder head bolt torques and adjust engine valve clearances l Change hydraulic oil filter

Clean, inspect and grease front wheel bearings

Check and adjust fan belt tension l Clean, inspect and grease front wheel bearings l Check and adjust brakes l Check torque of front end weight clamp bolts (where fitted)

NOTE:

Ensure that the tractor is on level ground and that all rams are extended, where applicable, before checking oil levels. See Section C - Specifications for additional amount that may be added to the rear axle and for recommended oil capacities and grades.

To prevent contamination when changing oils, filters etc., always clean the area around the filter, level plugs, drain plugs, dipsticks and filters. Before connecting remote cylinders, ensure that oil contained within them is clean, has not degenerated due to long storage and is of the correct grade.

WARNING :

Some components on your tractor, such as gaskets and friction surfaces (brake linings, clutch linings etc.) may contain asbestos. Breathing asbestos dust is dangerous to your health. You are therefore advised to have any maintenance or repair operations on such components carried out by an Authorized

Dealer. If, however, service operations are to be undertaken on parts that contain asbestos, the essential precautions listed below must be observed:

l

Work outdoors or in a well ventilated area.

l l

Dust found on the tractor or produced during work on the tractor should be removed by extraction and not by blowing. Dust waste should be dampened, placed in a sealed container and marked to ensure safe disposal.

If any cutting, drilling, etc., is attempted on materials containing asbestos, the item should be dampened and only hand tools or low speed power tools should be used.

It is recommended that this service be carried out by an Authorized Dealer or injector specialist only.

COOLING SYSTEM MAINTENANCE

Operation 54 – Engine Cooling System

The service interval for the cooling system is dependent upon the source of coolant in use which, in turn, is dependent upon availability.

Using antifreeze to specification WSN -

M97B18 - D :

A solution of 50% clean water and 50% antifreeze WSN-

M97B18-D is recommended. This antifreeze contains a chemical inhibitor which will protect your engine for 1200

hours or two years, whichever occurs first.

The inhibitor will :

•

•

•

•

Increase rust prevention.

Reduce scale formation.

Minimize cylinder wall erosion (pitting).

Reduce foaming of the coolant.

As the chemical inhibitor in the antifreeze works and protects the system, it gradually loses its strength and must, therefore, be replenished at intervals to maintain the optimum protection level. This protection is provided by draining and flushing the system and refilling with a

50% solution of antifreeze meeting the specification shown above.

Using a proprietary antifreeze :

Where antifreeze meeting the previously mentioned specification is not available, use a proprietary, heavy duty antifreeze mixed with an equal amount of clean water and change the coolant every 1200 hours or 12

months, whichever occurs first.

When antifreeze is not available :

In countries where antifreeze is not available, use clean water and change it every 600 hours or 6 months, whichever occurs first.

Draining and refilling the cooling system

With the engine cool, drain and refill the cooling system, as follows : l l l l

WARNING :

Antifreeze solution is irritating to

eyes and skin. Adhere to the precautions outlined on the antifreeze container.

l

Avoid contact with eyes or prolonged and repeated skin contact

Wear protective eye wear when using antifreeze.

In case of contact with eyes, flush with water for

15 minutes and obtain prompt medical attention.

Wash skin with soap and water after use.

Keep out of reach of children.

Open the radiator drain cock, Figure 50 and allow the coolant to drain.

50. Draining the cooling system

1. Radiator drain cock

NOTE :

In case a drain cock is not fitted on the radiator,

open the hose connection on the radiator base tank and allow the cooland to drain.

51. Draining the cooling system

1. Engine block drain plug

Open the threaded plug, Figure 51, and drain the coolant from the engine block. Remove, the radiator cap at this stage to increase the drainage rate.

20

After draining, flush the cooling system with clean water via the radiator filler. After flushing, close the engine block drain plug and the radiator drain cock (if radiator drain cock is not fitted, reconnect the hose and clip firmly). Refill the cooling system via the radiator filler tube.

NOTE :

To avoid trapping air in the system, fill the radiator as slowly as practicable thereby allowing any air pockets to disperse.

Check that the coolant level is flush with the bottom of the filler tube (see Operation 2).

Start and run the engine to circulate the coolant.

NOTE :

The coolant level may drop as it is pumped

around the cooling system.

Stop the engine and top up the radiator with 50% solution of clean water and antifreeze (or clean water only if antifreeze is not available).

WARNING : The cooling system operates under

pressure which is controlled by the radiator cap.

It is dangerous to remove the cap while the system is hot. Allow the engine to cool and using a thick cloth, turn the cap slowly to the first stop. Allow the pressure to escape before fully removing the cap.

IMPORTANT : It is essential that an approved cap is

used. If the cap is mislaid or damaged, obtain a replacement from your Authorized Dealer.

Allow the engine to cool and make a final check to ensure that the coolant level is satisfactory.

See Section C for cooling system capacity and clean water properties.

Cooling System Leaks

In the event of a loss of coolant, for example a leaking hose or gasket, it is important to firstly correct the leak and secondly top up with a pre-mixed solution of water and antifreeze of the correct proportions.

It is recommended that a solution of 50% clean water and 50% antifreeze, no matter what degree of freeze protection is required, be pre-mixed and used as a top up solution.

Always keep this pre-mixed solution in a specially marked container for top-up purpose and always investigate the cause of leakage and repair properly or replace the defective part. Do not use anti-leak additives.
