Electro-magnetic Interference (EMC)
This tractor complies strictly with the European Regulations on electro-magnetic emis-
sions. However, interference may arise as a result of add-on equipment which may not
necessarily meet the required standards. As such interference can result in serious mal-
function of the unit and/or create unsafe situations, you must observe the following:
•Ensure that each piece of non-Case IH equipment fitted to the tractor bears the
CE mark.
•The maximum power of emission equipment (radio, telephones, etc.) must not
exceed the limits imposed by the national authorities of the country where you use
the tractor.
•The electro-magnetic field generated by the add-on system should not exceed 24
V/m at any time and at any location in the proximity of electronic components.
Failure to comply with these rules will render the Case IH warranty null and void.

SECTION 1
GENERAL INFORMATION AND SAFETY
TO THE OWNER
GENERAL
This Manual has been prepared to assist you in the
correct procedure for running--in, driving and
operating and for the maintenance of your new
tractor. Read this Manual carefully. Your tractor is
intended for use in normal and customary
agricultural applications.
If at any time you require advice concerning your
tractor, do not hesitate to contact your Case IH
dealer. He has factory trained personnel, genuine
manufacturers’ parts and the necessary equipment
to carry out all your service requirements.
Your tractor has been designed and built to give
maximum performance, economy and ease of
operation under a wide variety of operating
conditions. Prior to delivery, the tractor was carefully
inspected, both at the factory and by your dealer to
ensure that it reaches you in optimum condition. To
maintain this condition and ensure trouble--free
operation, it is important that the routine services, as
specified in Section 4 of this Manual, are carried out
at the recommended intervals.
CLEANING THE TRACTOR
Your tractor is a state-of-the-art machine with
sophisticated controls. This should be borne in mind
when cleaning the tractor, particularly if using a high
pressure washer. Even though every precaution has
been taken to safeguard electrical components and
connections, the pressure generated by some of
these machines is such that complete protection
against water ingress cannot be guaranteed.
When using a high pressure washer, do not stand too
close to the tractor and avoid directing the jet at
electronic components, electrical connections,
breathers, seals, filler caps, etc. Never direct a cold
water jet at a hot engine or exhaust.
SAFETY
Pages 1--6 to 1--11 inclusive list the precautions to
be observed to ensure your safety and the safety of
others. Read the safety precautions and follow the
advice offered before operating the tractor.
FIRST 50 HOUR SERVICE
In Section 9, at the back of this Manual, you will find
the 50--hour service reports.
After you have operated the tractor for 50 hours, take
your tractor, together with this Manual, to your dealer.
He will then perform the factory recommended 50--
hour service and complete the service report sheets
(pages 9--1 and 9--3). The first sheet (page 9--1) is the
dealer’s copy and should be removed by the dealer
after the service has been carried out. The second
sheet (page 9--3) is your copy of the service
performed. Ensure that you and the dealer sign
both copies.
SERVICE PARTS
It should be pointed out that genuine parts have been
examined and approved by the Company. The
installation and/or use of ‘non-genuine’ products
could have negative effects upon the design
characteristics of your tractor and thereby affect it’s
safety. The Company is not liable for any damage
caused by the use of ‘non--genuine’ parts and
accessories. Only genuine replacement parts should
be used. The use of non-genuine parts may
invalidate legal approvals associated with this
product.
It is prohibited to carry out any modifications to the
tractor unless specifically authorised, in writing, by
the After Sales Service department of the Company.
WARRANTY
Your tractor is warranted according to legal rights in
your country and the contractual agreement with the
selling dealer. No warranty shall, however, apply if
the tractor has not been used, adjusted and
maintained according to the instructions given in the
Operator’s Manual.

SECTION 1 -- GENERAL INFORMATION AND SAFETY
1--2
TRACTOR IDENTIFICATION
Serial numbers identify the tractor and its main components. The identification data must be supplied by the
dealer for requests for spare parts or service operations. Identification data is of fundamental importance in the
event of theft of the tractor. The location of the various identification data is shown below.

1--5
ECOLOGY AND THE ENVIRONMENT
Soil, air and water are vital factors of agriculture and
life in general. Where legislation does not yet rule the
treatment of some of the substances which are
required by advanced technology, common sense
should govern the use and disposal of products of a
chemical and petrochemical nature.
The following are recommendations which may be of
assistance:
•Become acquainted with and ensure that you
understand the relative legislation applicable to
your country.
•Where no legislation exists, obtain information
from suppliers of oils, filters, batteries, fuels,
antifreeze, cleaning agents, etc., with regard to
their effect on man and nature and how to safely
store, use and dispose of these substances.
Agricultural consultants will, in many cases, be
able to help you as well.
HELPFUL HINTS
1. Avoid filling tanks using unsuitable containers or
inappropriate pressurised fuel delivery systems
which may cause considerable spillage.
2. In general, avoid skin contact with all fuels, oils,
acids, solvents, etc. Most of them contain
substances which can be harmful to your health.
3. Modern oils contain additives. Do not burn
contaminated fuels and/or waste oils in ordinary
heating systems.
4. Avoid spillage when draining off used engine
coolant mixtures, engine, gearbox and hydraulic
oils, brake fluids, etc. Do not mix drained brake
fluids or fuels with lubricants. Store them safely
until they can be disposed of in a proper way to
comply with local legislation and available
resources.
5. Modern coolant mixtures, i.e. antifreeze and
other additives, should be replaced every two
years. They should not be allowed to get into the
soil but should be collected and disposed of
safely.
6. Do not open the air-conditioning system yourself.
It contains gases which should not be released
into the atmosphere. Your dealer or air
conditioning specialist has a special extractor for
this purpose and will have to recharge the system
anyway.
7. Repair any leaks or defects in the engine cooling
or hydraulic system immediately.
8. Do not increase the pressure in a pressurised
circuit as this may lead to the components
exploding.
9. Protect hoses during welding as penetrating
weld splatter may burn a hole or weaken them,
causing the loss of oils, coolant, etc.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
A careful operator is the best operator. Most accidents
can be avoided by observing certain precautions. To
help prevent accidents, read and take the following
precautions before driving, operating or servicing the
tractor. Equipment should be operated only by those
who are responsible and instructed to do so.
PRECAUTIONARY STATEMENTS
Throughout this Manual you will see text, preceded
by the words NOTE, ATTENTION, IMPORTANT,
CAUTION, WARNING or DANGER. Such text has
the following significance:
MACHINE SAFETY
NOTE: This text stresses a correct operating
technique or procedure.
ATTENTION: This text warns the operator of potential
machine damage if a certain procedure is not followed.
IMPORTANT: This text informs the reader of
something that he needs to know to prevent minor
machine damage if a certain procedure is not
followed.
PERSONAL SAFETY
CAUTION
The word CAUTION is used where a safe
behavioural practice, according to operating and
maintenance instructions and common safety
practices will protect the operator and others from
accident involvement.
WARNING
The word WARNING denotes a potential or hidden
hazard which could possibly cause serious injury. It
is used to warn operators and others to exercise due
care and attention to avoid a surprise accident with
machinery.
DANGER
The word DANGER denotes a forbidden practice in
connection with a serious hazard.
Failure to follow the CAUTION, WARNING and
DANGER instructions may result in serious bodily
injury or even death.
THE TRACTOR
1. Read the Operator’s Manual carefully before
using the tractor. Lack of operating knowledge
can lead to accidents.
2. Only allow properly trained and qualified persons
to operate the tractor.
3. To prevent falls, use the handrails and step plates
when getting on and off the tractor. Keep steps
and platform clear of mud and debris.
4. Replace all missing, illegible or damaged safety
decals.
5. Keep safety decals free of dirt or grime.
6. Do not permit anyone but the operator to ride on
the tractor unless a passenger seat is fitted.
There is no safe place for extra passengers
otherwise.
7. Keep children away from the tractor and farm
machinery at all times.
8. 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 dealer.
9. Install all guards before starting the engine or
operating the tractor.

SECTION 1 -- GENERAL INFORMATION AND SAFETY
1--7
DRIVING THE TRACTOR
1. Always sit in the driver’s seat while starting or
driving the tractor.
2. When driving on public roads, have
consideration for other road users. Pull in to the
side of the road occasionally to allow any
following traffic to pass. Do not exceed the legal
speed limit set in your country for agricultural
tractors.
3. Use a rotating beacon when driving on public
roads to indicate that the vehicle is slow moving
and is a possible hazard.
4. Dip the tractor lights when meeting a vehicle at
night. Make sure the lights are adjusted to
prevent blinding the driver of an oncoming
vehicle.
5. Reduce speed before turning or applying the
brakes. Brake both wheels simultaneously when
making an emergency stop. Ensure that both
brake pedals are locked together when travelling
at road speeds or when on public roads to ensure
correct operation of trailer brakes, balanced
operation of the tractor brakes and four wheel
braking (4WD tractors only).
6. Use extreme caution and avoid hard application
of the tractor brakes when towing heavy loads at
road speeds.
7. Keep the tractor in the same gear when going
downhill as would be used when going uphill. Do
not coast or freewheel down hills.
8. For safe operation any towed vehicle whose total
weight exceeds that of the towing tractor must be
equipped with a braking system that complies
with the legal requirements of that country.
9. Never apply the differential lock when turning.
When engaged, the differential lock will prevent
the tractor from turning.
10. Always check overhead clearance, especially
when transporting the tractor. Watch where you
are going, especially at row ends, on roads and
around trees and low overhanging obstacles.
11. To avoid overturns, drive the tractor with care and
at speeds compatible with safety, especially
when operating over rough ground, when
crossing ditches or slopes and when turning
corners.
12. Use extreme caution when operating on steep
slopes.
13. If the tractor becomes stuck or the tyres are
frozen to the ground, reverse the tractor out to
prevent overturning.
