FEDERAL EMISSIONS WARRANTY
(North America Only)
(California owner’s emissions warranty is covered elsewhere)
CNH UK Ltd warrants that your new 1996 and later heavy-duty off-road diesel engine was designed, built, and equipped to conform to
applicable U.S. Environmental Protection Agency regulations for a period of use of five years or 3,000 hours of operation, whichever occurs
first.
The new model year, class of diesel engine, and emission application determination for your engine are identified on the emission control
information label affixed to the engine. The warranty period begins on the date the new equipment is sold to the first retail purchaser.
Any emission control system parts which are proven defective during normal use will be repaired or replaced during the warranty period. The
warranty repairs and service will be performed by any authorized CNH dealer at the dealer’s place of business, with no charge for parts or
labor (including diagnosis).
As the engine owner, you are responsible to perform all the required maintenance listed in your owner’s manual. CNH UK Ltd will not deny an
emission warranty claim solely because you have no record of maintenance; however, a claim may be denied if your failure to perform
maintenance resulted in the failure of a warranted part. Receipts covering regular maintenance should be retained in the event of questions
and these receipts should be passed on to each subsequent owner of the engine.
It is recommended replacement parts used for maintenance or repairs be CNH Service Parts to maintain the quality originally designed into
your emission certified engine. The use of non-CNH parts does not invalidate the warranty on other components unless the use of such parts
causes damage to warranted parts.
CNH UK Ltd wishes to assure the emissioncontrol systems warranty is being properly administered. If you believe you have not received the
service entitled to under this warranty, you should contact the nearest CNH Office for assistance. The address and phone number of each
Office is in your equipment owner’s manual. If additional assistance or information is needed, contact:
Service Department
CNH America, LLC
500 Diller Avenue
New Holland, PA 17557
[phone]
Please note that the Emission Warranty does not cover:
1. Systems and parts that were not first installed on the new equipment or engine as original equipment by CNH UK Ltd.
2. Part malfunctions caused by abuse, misuse, improper adjustment, modification, alteration, tampering, disconnection, improper or
inadequate maintenance, or use of non-recommended fuels and lubricating oils.
3. Accident caused damage, acts of nature, or other events beyond CNH UK Ltd’s control.
4. Replacement of expendable items made in connection with scheduled maintenance.
5. Parts requiring replacement, inspection or adjustment maintenance intervals for reasons other than being defective.

CALIFORNIA EMISSION CONTROL WARRANTY STATEMENT
(North America Only)
(California Only)
Your Warranty Rights and Obligations
The California Air Resources Board and CNH UK LTD are pleased to explain the emission control system warranty on your engine. In
California, new 2004 and later heavy-duty off-road engines from 50 to 750 HP must be designed, built and equipped to meet the State’s
stringent anti-smog standards. CNH UK LTD must warrant the emission control system on your 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 includes parts such as the fuel injection system and the air induction system.
Where a warrantable condition exists, CNH UK LTD will repair your heavy-duty off-road engine at no cost to you including diagnosis, parts
and labor.
Manufacturer’s Warranty Coverage:
The 2004 and later heavy-duty off-road engines are warranted from the original date of delivery for five 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 CNH UK LTD.
Owner’s Warranty Responsibilities:
•As the heavy-duty off-road engine owner, you are responsible for the performance of the required maintenance listed in your owner’s
manual. CNH UK LTD recommends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on your heavy-duty off-road engine, but CNH UK
LTD cannot deny warranty solely for the 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 CNH UK LTD 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 commercially available 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 ARB suggests that you present your heavy-duty off-road engine to a CNH
dealer as soon as a problem exists. The warranty repairs should be completed by the dealer as expeditiously as possible.
•If you have any questions regarding your warranty rights and responsibilities, you should contact your nearest CNH Office at the address
and telephone number listed on the Owner Assistance page of your equipment’s operator manual.
•Prior to the expiration of the warranty, you must give notice of any failure of an emission control warranted part. Such notice must be
given to CNH UK LTD or an authorized CNH dealer, and you must deliver the engine to the repair location.
•You, the owner, are responsible for incidental costs incurred by yourself or your employees as a result of an unwarrantable failure.
Examples of such costs are communication expenses, meals and lodging.
•The owner is responsible for any business costs or losses, any “downtime” expenses and any “cargo” damage which result from the
failure of a warranted part. CNH UK LTD is not responsible for other incidental or consequential damages, including, but not limited to
fines, theft, vandalism or collisions.
Parts covered:
This emission control system warranty applies to the following emission control parts:
Electronic Control Unit
Fuel Injection Pump
Fuel Injectors
Turbocharger
Intake Manifold
Charge Air Cooler
Exhaust Manifold
Boost Pressure Tubing (connectionto Aneroid Device onF.I.P.)
Any replacement part, equivalent in performance and durability, may be used in the performance of any maintenance or repairs and must
be provided without charge to the owner. The use of these parts does not reduce the warranty obligations of CNH UK LTD. However, CNH
UK LTD recommends the use of new, genuine CNH service parts or CNH approved rebuilt parts and assemblies. CNH UK LTD also
recommends that the engine be serviced by a CNH authorized dealer.
CNH UK LTD Responsibilities:
Warranty work will be provided at no charge to the owner at any authorized dealer, using genuine CNH service parts or CNH approved rebuilt
parts or assemblies.
The owner will not be charged for diagnostic labor which leads to the determination that a warranted part is defective, if the diagnostic work
was performed at a warranty station.
CNH UK LTD is liable for damages to other engine components caused by the failure under warranty of any warranted part.
Warranty Limitations
CNH UK LTD is not responsible for failures resulting from abuse or neglect by owner or operator.
CNH UK LTD warrants to the ultimate purchaser and each subsequent purchaser that the engine is designed, built, and equipped so as to
conform with all applicable regulations adopted by the Air Resources Board, and that it is free from defects in materials and workmanship
which cause the failure of a warranted part.
Any warranted part which is not scheduled for replacement as required maintenance, or which is scheduled only for regular inspection to
the effect of “repair or replace as necessary” is warranted for the warranty period.
Any warranted part which is scheduled for replacement as required maintenance is warranted for the period of time prior to the first scheduled
replacement point of that part.
CNH UK LTD is not liable to warrant failures caused by the use of add-on or modified parts.
CNH UK LTD is concerned to ensure proper maintenance of the engine to maximise emissions performance. Information on care and
replacement of engine air cleaner, and all other aspects of engine maintenance is provided in a manual supplied to the owner. A maintenance
schedule chart is provided in the manual.

SAFETY
PRECAUTIONARY STATEMENTS
A careful operator is the best operator. Most accidents can be avoided by observing certain precautions. To help
prevent accidents, read the following precautions before operating this equipment. Equipment should be
operated only by those who are responsible and instructed to do so.
Carefully review the procedures given in this manual with all operators. It is important that all operators be familiar
with and follow safety precautions.
THE TRACTOR
1. Read the Operator’s Manual carefully before
using the tractor. Lack of operating knowl-
edge can lead to accidents.
2. Use an approved roll bar and seat belt for safe
operation. Overturning a tractor without a roll
bar can result in death or injury. If your tractor
is not equipped with a roll bar and seat belt,
see your New Holland Dealer.
3. Always use the seat belt. The only instance
when the seat belt should not be used is if the
roll bar has been removed from the tractor or
folding ROPS is in down position.
4. If a front end loader is to be installed, always
use a FOPS (Falling Object Protective
Structure) canopy to avoid injury from falling
objects.
5. Use the handholds and step plates when
getting on and off the tractor to prevent falls.
Keep steps and platform cleared of mud and
debris.
6. Do not permit anyone but the operator to ride
on the tractor. There is no safe place for extra
riders.
7. Keep all safety decals clean of dirt and grime,
and replace all missing, illegible, or damaged
safety decals. See the list of decals in the
Decal section of this manual.
SERVICING THE TRACTOR
1. 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. Always turn the cap slowly to
the first stop and allow pressure to escape
before removing the cap entirely.
2. Keep any type of open flame away from the
tractor and do not smoke while refueling.
Wait for the engine to cool before refueling.
3. 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.
4. Keep open flame or cold weather starting
aids away from the battery to prevent fires or
explosions. Use jumper cables according to
instructions to prevent sparks which could
cause explosion.
5. Stop the engine before performing any
service on the tractor.
6. Escaping hydraulic/diesel fluid under pres-
sure can penetrate the skin causing serious
injury. If fluid is injected into the skin, obtain
medical attention immediately or gangrene
may result.
•DO NOT use your hand to check for leaks.
Use a piece of cardboard or paper to
search for leaks.
•Stop the engine and relieve pressure
before connecting or disconnecting
lines.
•Tighten all connections before starting
the engine or pressurizing lines.
7. Do not modify or permit anyone else to
modify or alter this tractor or any of its
components or functions without first
consulting a New Holland Dealer.
8. The fuel oil in the injection system is under
high pressure and can penetrate the skin.
Unqualified persons should not remove or
attempt to adjust a pump, injector, nozzle, or
any other part of the fuel injection system.
Failure to follow these instructions can result
in serious injury.
9. 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.

0-8
10. Some components of 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 advised to have any
maintenance or repair on such components
carried out by an authorized New Holland
Dealer. However, if service operations are to
be undertaken on parts that contain asbes-
tos, the essential precautions listed below
must be observed:
•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, 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.
OPERATING THE TRACTOR
1. Before starting the tractor, apply the parking
brake, place the PTO lever in the “OFF”
position, the lift control lever in the down
position, the remote control valve levers in
the neutral position, and the transmission in
neutral.
2. Always sit in the tractor seat when starting
the engine or operating controls. Do not start
the engine or operate controls while standing
beside the tractor.
3. Do not bypass the neutral start switches.
Consult your New Holland Dealer if your
neutral start controls malfunction. Use jumper
cables only in the recommended manner.
Improper use can result in tractor runaway.
4. Avoid accidental contact with the gear shift
lever while the engine is running, as this can
cause unexpected tractor movement.
5. Before getting off the tractor, disengage the
PTO, turn the engine off, and apply the
parking brake. Never get off the tractor while
it is in motion.
6. Do not park the tractor on a steep incline.
7. Do not operate the tractor engine in an
enclosed building without adequate ventila-
tion. Exhaust fumes can cause death or illness.
8. If the power steering or engine ceases
operating, stop the tractor immediately.
9. Pull only from the drawbar or the lower link
drawbar in the down position. Use only a
drawbar pin that locks in place. Pulling from
the tractor rear axle or any point above the
axle may cause the tractor to upset.
10. If the front end of the tractor tends to rise when
heavy implements are attached to the
three-point hitch, install front end weights. Do
not operate the tractor with a light front end.
11. Always set the hydraulic selector lever in
position control when attaching or transport-
ing equipment. Ensure hydraulic couplers
are properly mounted and will disconnect
safely in case of accidental detachment of
implement.
12. Do not leave equipment in the raised
position.
13. Use the flasher/turn signal lights and SMV
signs when traveling on public roads both
day and night (unless prohibited by law).
14. When operating at night, adjust lights to
prevent blinding oncoming drivers.
DRIVING THE TRACTOR
1. Watch where you are going, especially at row
ends, on roads, around trees and low
hanging obstacles.
2. To avoid upsets, drive the tractor with care
and at a safe speed. Use extra caution when
operating over rough ground, when crossing
ditches or slopes, and when turning corners.
3. To provide two-wheel braking, lock tractor
brake pedals together when transporting on
roads.
4. Do not coast or free wheel down hills. Use the
same gear when going downhill as is used
when going uphill.
5. Any towed vehicle with a total weight
exceeding that of the towing tractor should
be equipped with brakes for safe operation.
6. If the tractor becomes stuck or the tires
become frozen to the ground, back up the
tractor to prevent upset.
7. Always check overhead clearance, especial-
ly when transporting the tractor.
8. When operating at night, adjust lights to
prevent blinding oncoming drivers.

0-9
OPERATING THE PTO
1. When operating PTO driven equipment, shut
off the engine and wait until the PTO stops
before getting off the tractor and disconnect-
ing the equipment.
2. Do not wear loose clothing when operating
the power take-off or when near rotating
equipment.
3. When operating stationary PTO driven
equipment, always place range gear shift
lever in neutral, apply the tractor parking
brake, and block the rear wheels front and
back.
4. To avoid injury, do not clean, adjust, unclog,
or service PTO driven equipment when the
tractor engine is running.
5. Ensure the PTO master shield is installed at
all times. Always replace the PTO shield cap
when the PTO is not in use.
DIESEL FUEL
1. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES should gaso-
line, alcohol, or blended fuels be added to
diesel fuel. These combinations can create
an increased fire or explosive hazard. Such
blends are more explosive than pure
gasoline in a closed container such as a fuel
tank. DO NOT USE THESE BLENDS.
2. Never remove the fuel cap or refuel with the
engine running or hot.
3. Do not smoke while refueling or when
standing near fuel.
4. Maintain control of 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 a New Holland approved cap. A
non-approved, proprietary cap may not be
safe.
9. Keep equipment clean and properly main-
tained.
10. Do not drive equipment near open fires.
11. Never use fuel for cleaning purposes.
12. Arrange fuel purchases so that winter grade
fuels are not held over and used in the spring.
SAFETY FRAME (ROPS)
Your New Holland tractor is equipped with a
safety frame. It must be maintained in a
serviceable condition. Be careful when driving
through doorways or working in confinedspaces
with low headroom.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES should you:
•modify, drill, or alter the safety frame in any
way. Doing so may render you liable to legal
prosecution.
•attempt to straighten or weld any part of the
main frame or retaining brackets which have
suffered damage. Doing so may weaken the
structure and endanger your safety.
•secure any parts on the main frame or attach
your safety frame with anything other than
the special high tensile bolts and nuts
specified.
•attach chains or ropes to the main frame for
pulling purposes.
•take unnecessary risks even though your
safety frame affords you the maximum
protection possible.
