Product Warranty
Product warranty is provided as part of Mahindra &
Mahindra Limited support program for customers
who operate and maintain their equipment as
described in this manual.
Engine related warranties stated in this manual refer
only to emissions-related parts and components of
your engine. The complete engine warranty, less

Your Warranty Rights and Obligations
The California Air Resources Board (CARB) and
Mahindra & Mahindra Limited are pleased to explain
the emission control system warranty on your 2010
heavy duty off-road compression ignition engine. In
California, new heavy-duty off road compression
ignition engines must be designed, built and
equipped to meet the State’s stringent anti-smog
standards. Mahindra & Mahindra Limited must
warrant the emission control system on your heavy
duty off-road compression ignition engine for the
periods of time listed below provided there has been
no abuse, neglect or improper maintenance of your
engine.
Your emission control system may include parts such
as the fuel-injection system and the air induction
system. Also included may be hoses, belts, connectors
and other emission-related assemblies.
Where a warrantable condition exists, Mahindra &
Mahindra Limited will repair your heavy duty off-road
compression ignition engine at no cost to you
including diagnosis, parts and labor.

years or 3000 hours of operation, whichever occurs
first. If any emission related part on your engine is
defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by

Owner’s Warranty Responsibilities
As the heavy duty off-road compression ignition
engine owner, you are responsible for the
performance of the required maintenance listed in
your owner’s manual. Mahindra & Mahindra Limited
recommends that you retain all receipts covering
maintenance on your heavy duty off-road engine, but
Mahindra & Mahindra Limited cannot deny warranty
solely for lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure
the performance of all scheduled maintenance.
As the heavy duty off-road engine owner, you should
however be aware that Mahindra & Mahindra Limited
may deny you warranty coverage if your heavy duty
off-road engine or a part has failed due to abuse,
neglect, improper maintenance or unapproved
modifications.
Your engine is designed to operate on Diesel fuel only.
Use of any other fuel may result in your engine no
longer operating in compliance with California’s
emissions requirements.
You are responsible for initiating the warranty
process. The CARB suggests that you present your
heavy duty off-road engine to an authorized
Mahindra & Mahindra Limited Commercial and
Consumer Equipment Dealer / Retailer as soon as a
problem exists. The warranty repairs should be
completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to
exceed 30 days.

rights and responsibilities, you should contact

which can cause the failure of a warranted part to
be identical in all material respects to the part as
described in the application of Mahindra &
Mahindra Limited for certification for a period of
five years or 3000 hours of operation, whichever
occurs first, after the engine is delivered to the
initial retail purchaser. Mahindra & Mahindra

About This Manual
This Manual has been prepared to assist you in
following the correct procedure for break-in,
operation and maintenance of your new Mahindra
tractor.
Your tractor has been designed and built to give
maximum performance, with good fuel 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 Mahindra
dealer, to ensure that it reaches you in optimum
condition. To maintain this condition and ensure
trouble free performance, it is important that the
routine services, as specified in this manual, are
carried out at the recommended intervals.
We have enclosed a page on new tractor inspection
sheets. The first sheet is the dealer’s copy and should
be removed by the dealer after the inspection has
been carried out. The second sheet is your copy of the
service performed. Ensure that you & the dealer sign
both copies.
Read this manual carefully and keep it in a convenient
place for future reference. If at any time you require
advice concerning your tractor, do not hesitate to
contact your authorised Mahindra dealer. He has
trained personnel, genuine Mahindra parts and
necessary equipments to undertake all your service
requirements.
Mahindra USA Inc’s. policy is one of continuous
improvement, and the right to change prices,
specifications or equipments at any time without
notice is reserved.
All data given in this book is subject to production
variations. Dimensions & weight are approximate only
and the illustrations do not necessarily show tractors
in standard condition. For exact information about
any particular tractor, please consult your Mahindra
dealer.

Tractor
The word, ‘Tractor’ has been derived from ‘traction’ which
means pulling. A tractor is required to pull or haul an
equipment, implement or trolley, which are coupled to the
tractor chassis through suitable linkage. A tractor can also
be used as a prime mover as it has a power outlet source
which is also called Power Take Off or PTO shaft.
In this book the operation and maintenance instructions for
35 Series HST models of Mahindra diesel tractors have been
compiled. This material has been prepared in detail to help
you in better understanding of maintenance and efficient
operation of the machine.
If you need any information not given in this manual, or
require the services of a trained mechanic, please get in
touch with the Mahindra dealer in your locality. Dealers are
kept informed of the latest methods of servicing tractors.
They stock genuine repair parts and are backed by the
company’s full support.
Throughout this manual, the use of the terms LEFT, RIGHT,
FRONT and REAR must be understood, to avoid any
confusion when following the instructions. The LEFT and
RIGHT means left and right sides of the tractor when facing
forward in the driver’s seat. Reference to the FRONT
indicates the radiator end of the tractor, while the REAR,
indicates the drawbar end.

R O P S
Roll Over Protective Structure (ROPS)
Mahindra USA Inc. tractors are fitted with a frame for the
protection of tractor operator to minimize serious operator
injury resulting from accidental roll over. These frames,
known as ROPS, form a safety zone within which the
operator is offered some protection in the event that the
tractor turns over. It is necessary that the tractor operator
fasten the seat belt around him/her to be protected by the
ROPS.
The mounting structure and fasteners forming the
mounting connection with the tractor are part of the ROPS.
(ROPS) Maintenance and Inspection
The ROPS has been certified to industry and/or government
standards. Any damage or alteration to the ROPS, mounting
hardware or seat belt voids the certification and will reduce
or eliminate protection for the operator, in the event of a
roll-over.
The ROPS, mounting hardware and seat belt should be
checked after the first 100 hrs. of machine operation and
every 500 hours thereafter for any evidence of damage,
wear or cracks. In the event of damage or alteration the
ROPS must be replaced prior to further operation of the
machine. The seat belt must be worn during machine
operation when it is equipped with a certified ROPS. Failure
to do so will reduce or eliminate protection of the operator
in the event of a roll-over.
Substitution of mounting hardware, seat belt etc. with
components not equal to or superior to the original
certified components will void the certification and will
reduce or eliminate protection for the operator in the event
of a roll-over.
Damage of the ROPS
If the Tractor has rolled over or the ROPS has been
damaged (such as striking an overhead object during
transport), it must be replaced to provide the original
protection. After an accident, check for damages to the
1. ROPS 2. Seat 3. Seat belt & seat mountings. Before you
operate a Tractor, replace all damaged parts.
When improperly operated, a tractor can roll
over. For low clearance storage only, the roll bar
may be folded. No protection is provided when
the tractor is operated with the roll bar in the
folded position. Always raise the roll bar
immediately after low clearance storage. Always
use the seat belt when the roll bar is raised.
Seat belts save lives when they are used. Do not
use the seat belt when the roll bar is lowered.
Never attach chains or ropes to the ROPS for
pulling purposes; this will cause the tractor to
tip backwards. Always pull from the tractor
drawbar. Be careful when driving through door
openings or under low overhead objects. Make
sure there is sufficient overhead clearance for
the ROPS.
If the ROPS is removed or replaced, make
certain that the proper hardware is used to
replace the ROPS and the recommended torque
values are applied to the attaching bolts.
Always wear your seat belt if the tractor is
equipped with a ROPS.
