Introduction
This manual has been written to provide the owner and
user with reliable and clear instructions on tractor
operation and maintenance.
By following the instructions in the manual, you will
not only get many years of efficient and faithful service
from your Landini tractor, but you will make your work
much easier.
Your dealer will give you operating and maintenance
instructions when you take delivery of your new tractor
and will make sure you have understood them correctly.
However, should any part of this manual not be clear to
you, do not hesitate to contact your nearest dealer for
explanations. It is very important for you to understand
and strictly comply with these instructions. Carry out
the maintenance checks daily and keep note of the
number of hours the tractor has worked.
Use only genuine Landini spare parts when replace-
ments are required. Landini local agents not only supply
genuine spare parts. They can also give useful hints and
instructions on how they are to be mounted and used.
Remember that non-genuine parts can damage other
components. You are therefore strongly advised to
purchase any spare parts that may be necessary from
an authorized Landini agent or dealer.
The tremendous variety of conditions in which tractors
work the world over mean that Landini cannot provide
perfectly accurate and up to date information on the
performance and efficiency of the tractors it
manufactures. The company therefore accepts no
responsibility for loss or damage caused by its
publications or any error or omission therein. Should the
vehicle ever be used in particularly adverse conditions
(e.g. in heavy soils or very muddy conditions) contact
your local dealer for specific instructions. Failure to do
so may render null and void the warranty on your
tractor.
Customers are strongly advised to refer any difficulties
in use or assistance to authorized Landini dealers. The
Landini dealership network is specially equipped and
trained to provide assistance and to advise customers
on how to use the tractor in special working conditions.
The names and addresses of Landini dealers through-
out the world may be obtained from the address
indicated on the next page.
NOTE:This manual has been written for world-wide
distribution. Standard or optional equipment may vary
depending on the territory in which the tractor is to
operate. Your local dealer will be pleased to provide you
with details of all optional extras available in your area.
NOTE:Some of the illustrations in this manual have
been taken from photographs of prototypes. Standard
production models may differ in some parts.
WARNING: In order to make the illustrations clearer,
certain of the figures in this manual show the machine
with some of the safety panels or guards removed.
NEVER use the machine without these panels or guards
in position.
CAUTION AND WARNING
These terms are used in this manual and on the safety
decals to indicate operations that have serious implica-
tions for the safety of the machine parts (CAUTION) or
for the safety of the operator (WARNING). Please
therefore read the texts indicated with the words
CAUTION or WARNING very carefully. Next to them you
will see the symbol .
NOTE:The "left" and "right" positions mentioned in this
manual refer to the tractor as viewed from behind or
when sitting in the driving seat looking forward.

Warranty, pre-delivery inspection,
and delivery
New Landini products purchased through authorized
dealers are guaranteed, within certain limits, against
defects in materials and manufacture.
This manual is published for world-wide distribution. It
is thus impossible to describe the exact terms and
conditions of warranties in every single country.
Purchasers of new Landini tractors are kindly requested
to ask their local Dealer for full details.
Since it is a Landini policy to make constant
improvements to all its products, the specifications of
its tractors may be modified at any moment and
without notice.
Landini declines all responsibility for discrepancies
between a tractor's actual features and the descriptions
given in this manual.
Your dealer is obliged to provide a number of specific
services when delivering a new Landini tractor.
These services include a thorough examination of the
tractor prior to delivery to ensure that it is perfectly
functional and ready for immediate use, and an
explanation of all tractor operating and maintenance
instructions. These instructions cover the instruments
and controls, periodical maintenance and safety
precautions.
It is essential for all those involved in tractor operation
or maintenance to participate in this course. Landini
declines all responsibility for any damage caused by the
use of non-approved parts.
NOTE: Please refer to the 'Warranty Book' provided
with each tractor sold for the conditions of warranty or
for any problems concerning them.
NOTE: Landini declines all responsibility in the case of
claims for damages deriving from use of spare parts or
accessories that are not of the approved type.
Safety notes
The operator's safety is one of the main concerns of
those who design and develop new tractors and the
greatest possible number of safety devices are
included. Despite this fact, many accidents happen
every year that could have been avoided if the operator
had taken greater care when handling farming
machinery and equipment. Read this manual! It will
help you to avoid potential accidents. To illustrate parts
more clearly, some of the drawings in this manual show
panels or guards removed. Remember that the tractor
must never be used in these conditions. Leave all
panels and guards in place. If you have to remove one
to carry out repairs, you MUST fit it back in place before
starting the tractor. Remove and replace guards ONLY
with the engine switched off. DO NOT remove or cancel
any Caution, Warning or Danger Instruction decals.
Replace decals that are missing or illegible. If the
decals are missing or damaged, new ones can be
obtained from your local dealer. The exact position for
each safety decal is shown in this manual. If you have
purchased a used tractor second-hand, check to make
sure that all safety decals are in the right positions and
that they are perfectly legible.
Use of the tractor on public roads
USA and Canada only
When driving the tractor and its implements on main
and secondary roads (at a speed of no more than 40
kph (25 mph), by day or by night, turn on the side lights
and display a Slow-Moving Vehible sign. In most places,
the use of flashing amber warning lights is permitted. In
some areas however, use of these lights is forbidden by
law. Make sure you are familiar with local legal
requirements for warning lights and vehicle
identification symbols when driving on main roads. Use
the safety chain. Consult the operator's instruction
manual provided with the implement or the farming
machine attached to your tractor.
All other countries
Make sure you are familiar with the traffic regulations
and abide by statutory regulations when driving your
tractor on public roads, with or without any implements
in tow. Always observe any regulations concerning the
transport of projecting equipment or loads.

«ACCIDENTS CAN MAIM OR KILL «
«ACCIDENTS ARE COSTLY «
«ACCIDENTS ARE AVOIDABLE «
Safety on the tractor and implement
The tractor is a source of - Mechanical power - Hydraulic power.
On its own, a tractor is of little practical value.
Only when it is used with an implement or other equipment does it become a working unit.
This manual has been written to explain safe working practices that must be applied when using the tractor.
It does not cover all safety operations and instructions for all available implements and equipment that may be fitted
at the time of delivery or at some later date.
The operator must understand and abide by the instructions provided in the manuals of such implements and
equipment.
Safety: rules for the operator
It is YOUR responsibility to read and understand the
safety section in this manual before you start using the
tractor. You must follow these safety instructions as
they take you step by step through your working day.
In reading this section, you will notice that illustrations
are used to explain certain potentially dangerous
situations. Each illustration has a number and the same
number appears in brackets in the text. This number is
placed at the end of the text that refers to the
illustration.
Always remember that YOU are responsible for your
safety. Good safety practices not only protect you, but
also the people around you. Make sure you fully
understand the safety measures in this manual and
apply them at all times.
Safety: introduction
The safety section of your Operation and Maintenance
manual intends to highlight and point out some of the
safety situations that you may come across during
normal use and maintenance of your tractor and to
suggest ways of dealing with these circumstances. This
section does NOT substitute any other safety
regulations mentioned in other parts of this manual.
Extra precautions may be necessary depending on the
implements being used and the operating conditions at
the work site or in the service area. Landini has no
direct control over the applications, operations,
inspection, lubrication or maintenance of the tractor
and it is thus YOUR responsibility to follow good safety
practices at all times.

Follow the safety regulations
For safe operation
For safe operation, only fully qualified and authorized
operatiors are to use tractors. To qualify as an operator,
you must understand the instructions in this manual,
have training and know and understand the relevant
safety and work regulations.
For example, some regulations specify that nobody
under the age of 16 may use a work vehicle: this
includes tractors. It is your responsibility to know
these regulations and to comply with them at all
times.
They include the following instructions for using the
tractor safely.
WARNING: The operator must never use
alcohol or drugs that can affect his attention or
the coordination of his movements. An opera-
tor who is prescribed narcotics or who uses
them in controlled amounts must have medical
authorization to use the tractor in conditions
of safety.
Observe the following precautions
DO NOT allow children or unauthorized persons to
drive your tractor.
Fasten your seat belt if the tractor is fitted with a
roll-over protective structure.
Whenever possible, do not use the tractor near
ditches or embankments.
Reduce speed when turning the tractor, crossing
slopes and on rough, slippery or muddy surfaces.
Keep clear of slopes too steep for safe operation.
Watch where you are going - especially at row
ends and around trees.
NEVER let anyone else ride the tractor or the
implement.
Operate the tractor smoothly, with no sudden
movements: do not turn, start or stop abruptly.
Hitch only to the drawbar and recommended hitch
points - NEVER hitch above the central line of the
rear axle.
Apply the parking brake whenever the tractor is
stopped.
Never alter or remove any part of the equipment.
Keep others well clear of your work area.
NEVER use attachments that are not designed for
your tractor.

Safety notes

Safety frame
Either a safety frame or a cab is mounted as standard
equipment together with a seat belt: if the safety
structure or cab have been removed, you are advised to
fit the tractor with a safety structure or cab and a seat
belt. A safety frame or a cab reduce the risk of injury
should the tractor roll over. Rolling over without a safety
frame or a cab can cause damage, serious injury or
death.
Use
Before using the tractor, ensure that the safety
frame or the cab has not been damaged and that it
is securely fastened to the tractor.
DO NOT attach chains, cables, etc. to the safety
frame or to the cab for towing purposes as this
could cause the tractor to tip up: always use the
drawbar for this purpose.
Always fasten your seat belt. Do not wear the seat
belt if the tractor is not equipped with a safety frame
or cab.
Check the seat belt for damage. Damaged belts
must be replaced.
Damaged safety frames or cabs
If the tractor has rolled over and the safety frame or the
cab have been damaged, they must be replaced in
order to ensure the original degree of protection.
After an accident, check the safety frame or cab, the
driving seat, the seat belt and the anchor points of the
seat belt. Replace all damaged parts before using the
tractor again.
DO NOT WELD, DRILL, BEND OR STRAIGHTEN THE
SAFETY FRAME OR CAB: to do so reduces the degree
of protection that is ensured by the original equipment.
Safety precautions

Wear all protective clothing and any personal protection
devices called for by the work conditions. Never take
risks (Fig. 1. 2).
You need the following protective clothing:

serious injury or death. Leaks of fluid under
pressure may not be visible. Use a piece of card
or wood to locate the leak. Never use your bare
hand. Always wear protective goggles. If any fluid
is injected into the skin, it must be removed
surgically within a few hours by a doctor
familiar with this type of injury (Fig. 1. 6).
Before applying pressure to the fuel injection system or
to the hydraulic system, make sure that all connections
