components, whether as part of the standard equipment or as accessories, may vary depending on the
country or region. If you would like to know what equipment features are available in your region, you
should contact your FENDT dealer.
Under normal conditions, the Operator's Manual should enable the operator and the driver to operate the
tractor safely. If these instructions are followed, the tractor, like all FENDT products, will provide faithful
service for many years.
NOTE:
During commissioning by the FENDT dealer on the premises of the operator, it is ensured that the
operating and service instructions provided have been understood by the operator. The operator is obliged
to train staff in the operating and/or service instructions. If you do not understand parts of this Operator's
Manual, please contact your FENDT dealer. It is essential that these instructions are understood and
observed.
The instructions do not contain all of the safety and operating instructions for the implements and
accessories that can be fitted at the time of and after delivery of the tractor. It is imperative that the
operator understands and uses the operating instructions for these implements and the accessories.
This chapter of the Operator's Manual contains a description of specific safety-related standard situations
that can arise when operating the tractor and during normal maintenance. You are also given all of the
information required on the correct behavior to adopt in these situations.
NOTE:
This chapter is supplementary to the safety instructions contained in other chapters of this Operator's
Manual.
Depending on the implements used and the working conditions on site or in the operating area, additional
precautionary measures may need to be taken. FENDT has no direct influence on the commissioning,
operation, inspection, lubrication or maintenance of the tractor. YOU are therefore responsible for the
adoption of appropriate safety measures in the areas concerned.

1.1.2 Information regarding toxic substances and pollutants
In addition to the safety instructions in this manual or on the vehicle or any implements, information
regarding toxic and harmful substances must be observed.
1.1.2.1 Substances that are harmful to health
FENDT is committed to comprehensive environmental protection.
Our aims are to ensure the economical use of resources and the considerate handling of natural resources
that must be preserved in the interests of both people and nature.
By operating your tractor in an environmentally friendly way, you can also contribute to protecting the
environment.

You can influence both of these factors by noting the instructions and the operating conditions.
• Ensure the correct tire pressure is used.
• Do not carry any unnecessary ballast.
• Monitor fuel consumption.
• Do not use the throttle when starting the tractor.
• Do not leave the engine idling to warm it up.
• Avoid frequent, intense acceleration.
- Regularly servicing your tractor will protect the environment. Therefore, observe the maintenance
intervals.
Always have service work performed at a specialist FENDT workshop.

1.3 Special safety instructions for tractor maintenance
1.3.1 General maintenance instructions
WARNING:
Always read and observe the relevant sections of the Operator's Manual and any other
technical documentation before performing any repairs or maintenance work.
WARNING:
Familiarize yourself with any legal requirements before all maintenance and repair work,
particularly the work safety and accident prevention regulations.
WARNING:
Always have service work performed at a specialist FENDT workshop. These workshops
have the necessary expertise and tools for the required work. Safety-related work and
work on safety-related systems must be carried out by a specialist FENDT workshop.
WARNING:
Before any maintenance and repair work and before opening the engine cover, switch off
the engine and remove the ignition key.
Apply the handbrake and place chocks underneath the wheels if necessary.
Disconnect the battery (negative terminal) when working on the engine.
Replace safety equipment following maintenance work. Ensure that the tractor is securely parked
Ensure that the oil and fuel are of the prescribed quality and store them both in permitted containers only.
Do not perform any welding, drilling, cutting or grinding work on the cab or safety frame. Replace damaged
parts.
IMPORTANT:
If, for operational reasons, you need to carry out individual maintenance tasks independently, observe the
valid country-specific environmental protection measures. The legal stipulations must be observed when
disposing of fuel and lubricants such as engine oil. This also applies to all parts, e.g. filters, that have come
into contact with fuel and lubricants. Dispose of empty containers, cleaning cloths and maintenance
products in an environmentally friendly manner. Observe the instructions for use of maintenance products.
Do not leave the engine running for longer than is necessary.
IMPORTANT:
Before carrying out any maintenance work, thoroughly clean the tractor. This is particularly important for
connections and components that need to be loosened and the surrounding areas.
Used oil, coolant and brake fluid must be disposed of properly. Current legislation and the instructions of
the fluid manufacturer must be observed.
For maintenance intervals, work to be performed and the quantity and quality of fuels and lubricants to be
used, refer to "Fluids and lubricants" or "Maintenance schedule".
NOTE:
Like all technical equipment, the tractor requires care and maintenance. The scope and frequency of
maintenance work depends primarily on the often broadly varying operating conditions.
The specialist FENDT workshop confirms the work carried out in each case in the maintenance manual.
Always have service work carried out at a specialist FENDT workshop, as these workshops have the
necessary expertise and tools for the work required. Safety-related work and work on safety-related
systems must be carried out by a specialist FENDT workshop.
The guarantee includes experiences and regular technical instructions from the factory, along with fittings
and tools for professional tractor maintenance that is based the latest knowledge.
Spare parts
Ensure spare parts are suitable for your tractor. In many countries, parts that change the tractor will
invalidate your operating license if:
- the vehicle type approved in the operating license is changed
- road users are put in danger
1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
16 Maintenance
530.020.020.011 Rev.A

- the exhaust or noise levels are made worse.
The use of unauthorized parts can negatively influence vehicle safety.
For this reason, use only genuine FENDT spare parts.
General notes on maintenance
• Switch the engine off and remove the key before maintenance and repair work. Relieve pressure from
implement lines, e.g. to the front loader.
• Keep clear of any suspended, unsecured loads (lifted cab etc.).
• Never open or remove any safety devices while the engine is running.
• Never handle leaking pressure lines. Fluids (fuel or hydraulic oil) escaping under high pressure can
penetrate the skin and cause severe injuries. If this should occur, seek medical advice immediately to
avoid the risk of serious infection.
• Keep at a safe distance from hot areas.
• The pressure accumulator and connected lines are highly pressurized. Only remove and repair in
accordance with instructions set out in the Technical Manual.
• To avoid eye injury, do not look directly at the surface of the activated radar sensor.
• Dispose of oil, fuel and filters properly!
• Specialist knowledge and special fitting tools are required to fit tires.
• Run the tractor for a short time, then retighten all wheel nuts and bolts and check them regularly.
• Before working on the electrical system, always remove the earth strap from the battery. Observe the
following when carrying out electric welding. Before performing welding work on tractor or mounted
implements, ensure that both battery terminals are disconnected. Attach the earth terminal as close as
possible to the welding point.
1.3.2 Special instructions for cleaning the tractor
Before cleaning the tractor, always observe the following:
• Follow the obligatory steps when leaving the tractor.
• Remove implements, buckets, chains and hooks or clear them out of the way.
• Remove debris from side steps, pedals and the cab floor. Remove any grease and oil and brush off any
dust and mud. Scrape off snow and ice in the winter.
WARNING:
Keep the side steps, pedals and the cab floor clean. Slippery or iced-up surfaces on side
steps, pedals or the cab floor can result in serious accidents.
• When washing the tractor with a hose, the water jet must not be aimed directly at electrical and
electronic components.
• When using a high-pressure cleaner, a sufficient distance from the tractor must be maintained so that
neither paintwork nor seals are damaged.
• Ensure that the working areas and the engine compartment are clean.
• After cleaning, lubricate all lubrication points, door hinges and bearings.
1.3.3 Obligatory steps to be taken before leaving the tractor
WARNING:
Serious or fatal injury caused by vehicle/implement movements Operation of controls for
the tractor and implements by unauthorised people in the cab, especially children, can
result in serious or fatal injury. Do not permit unauthorised persons, particularly children,
to be alone in the cab.
