Safety
This section contains general safety prec-
autions which should be thoroughly studied
and practised by all service personnel. Refer
to your tractor Operator's Manual for more
detailed safety information.
GENERAL SAFETY
1. Mount a fire extinguisher near the service
area. Maintain it as recommended by the
manufacturer.
2. Never operate the tractor in an enclosed
building. If it is absolutely necessary to do
so, be sure the building is well ventilated
and ducting is used to direct exhaust
fumes outside.
3. Always keep sleeves, jackets or other
loose clothing relatively tight and belted.
Loose clothing might catch in moving trac-
tor parts.
4. Never jump from the cab. Always use
steps and handholds when mounting and
dismounting tractor.
5. Park the tractor on a clear, level area be-
fore beginning any maintenance proce-
dure. Shut down the engine and remove
key; apply parkbrake; chock the front and
back of at least two wheels. Ensure all
operating controls are in neutral. Always
disengage the PTO clutch and three-point
hitch. Engage articulation lock.
6. Always lower implements to the ground
when leaving equipment.
7. Always operate tractor controls from the
operator's seat.
8. Use articulation lock during tractor servic-
ing. See Section 10, STRUCTURES.
TRANSPORT SAFETY
1. Use a trailer with a carrying capacity of at
least 18tonnes (20 tons) to haul the tractor.
0-2
2. Securely chain the tractor to the trailer,
block the wheels and engage the park-
brake to prevent tractor movement. En-
gage articulation lock.
JACKING SAFETY
1. Select a jack strong enough to carry the
load. The minimum required jack capacity
is 4.5 tonnes (5 tons).
2. Stabilize the tractor by putting trans-
mission into gear, engaging the parkbrake
and chocking wheels securely. Engage
articulation lock.
3. To prevent jackknifing, use two hoists or
two rear jacks to lift the rear frame.
4. Secure the jack under the axle tube, frame
or drawbar where it is strong enough to
keep the jack from tipping, sinking or
shifting. Any additional blocking should
be under the jack.
5. Jack up the front and/or rear frame just
enough to install steel safety stands under
the axle tubes or frame.
6. Check the jack position after it has started
to lift. Lower the jack immediately if it
starts to lean. Reset the jack; block the
tractor more securely and lift again.
7. Keep the tractor stable by not raising it so
high that it will slide off the jack.
8. Put support stands under the tractor.
Lower the jack and let the tractor rest on
the stands. This provides solid support for
the tractor when the jack is removed.
HOIST SAFETY
1. Use a chain hoist and frame to lift the
tractor. The minimum hoist capacity re-
quired is 9 tonnes (10 tons); 7 257 kg (8
tons) for the A-frame or overhead support
and 2 721 kg (3 tons) for the support stands.
2. Protect yourself from injury when tractor is
being raised by observing the following
precautions:
a. Do not stand on the tractor when it is
being lifted.
Find manuals at https://best-manuals.com

b. Keep hands away from pinch points
where the chain links tighten or the
chain is against the tractor frame.
c. Do not let the tractor swing and strike
personnel or the frame as it leaves the
ground.
d. Keep support stands nearby and place
under the tractor when the necessary
height is reached.
e. Do not go under a tractor supported by
a chain hoist. Put support stands un-
der the tractor before working under it.
f. Engage articulation lock.
g. A cab support is available where bet-
ter access is required.
3. Extreme care must be exercised when
hoisting, lowering or moving any trans-
mission component.
MAINTENANCE SAFETY
1. Shut down engine before repairing tractor.
2. Be alert when approaching the tractor
while it is running. Be especially careful
around the PTO, articulation joint and
three-point hitch.
3. Engage articulation lock during overhaul
operations.
4. Never oil, grease or adjust the tractor
while it is moving. Never run engine while
tractor is being adjusted, cleaned or re-
paired.
5. Before repainng any hydraulic system
component, shut down engine and move
all implement controls forward and back-
ward several times to relieve pressure.
Disconnect any components connected to
the hoses.
6. Wear a face shield or goggles to protect
your eyes and heavy gloves to protect your
hands when searching for hydraulic leaks
or charging the air conditioning system.
7. Escaping hydraulic oil under pressure can
penetrate the skin causing severe per-
sonal injury.
0-3
Use a piece of cardboard or wood as a
backstop when searching for leaks. If in-
jured by escaping hydraulic oil, get imme-
diate medical attention.
8. Do not smoke; avoid open flames when
filling batteries.
9. Shut down engine and remove key before
disconnecting or servicing PTO drivelines.
10. Do not remove radiator cap while the en-
gine is hot. Let engine cool below 74° C
(165° F) before removing cap.
11. Stop engine before making any linkage
adjustments.
12. Welding fuel tanks is dangerous and not
recommended.
13. Repair adhesive is flammable. Keep ad-
hesive and its vapors from heat, sparks
and flame.
14. During adhesive use, and until vapor is
gone, avoid using spark producing elec-
trical equipment. Keep container closed
when not in use.
15. Use adhesive only in a well ventilated
area.
FUEL AND FLUID SAFETY
1. Do not smoke; avoid open flame when:
a. Filling the fuel tanks
b. Filling batteries
c. Working near a disassembled air con-
ditioning system. Refrigerant vapor
and flame combined produce lethal
phosgene gas.
2. Add coolant to the radiator only when the
engine is OFF. Turn the radiator cap
slightly to relieve pressure before com-
pletely removing it.
3. Do not use an open pail or can for trans-
porting fuel. Use only an approved con-
tainer manufactured for that purpose.
4. If clothes are splashed with fuel, change
immediately. Fuel soaked clothes are an
extreme fire hazard.

5. Dispose of all fuel soaked rags. Do not
leave them lying around a work area
0-4
where they may be exposed to flame,
spark or cigarette smoking.

3.1
Towing and Transport
TOWING
1. Securely connect chain or cable to tractor
drawbar or towing holes on front frame left
and right sides only. The front towing
holes are located just ahead of axle
mounting pads.
2. If possible, let the engine run so full use
can be made of the power steering.
3. Tow tractor slowly to allow operator full
control.
NOTE
If engine cannot be started, pull
tractor in a gradual arc across
the field. Steering tractor will
be difficult.
-CAUTION
BE ALERT
DO NOT TOW TRACTOR
FASTER THAN 24 KM/H (15
MPH).
4. If engine cannot be started, cover exhaust
stack to prevent turbocharger from seizing.
3.2 TRANSPORTING
For long distances, transport the tractor on a
trailer. Do the following when transporting is
necessary:
1. Check with local authorities as to laws,
permits and other information required to
transport large machinery.
2. Use a trailer having a capacity of 18tonnes
(20 tons) to haul the tractor.
3. Install nwide loadn signs and equip trailer
with clearance lights to indicate load to
other vehicles.
1-9
4. Equip trailer with a winch of minimum 9
tonnes (10 tons) capacity to pull tractor
onto trailer.
5. Securely chain the tractor to the trailer to
prevent tractor movement or tipping.
6. Block wheels and engage parkbrake to
prevent tractor movement and engage ar-
ticulation lock.
7. Inspect chains for cracks, gouges, wear,
bent links and worn or bent hooks. Re-
place chains if necessary.
4 Hoists and Jacks
4.1 JACKS
1. Select a jack strong enough to carry the
load. The minimum jack capacity required
is 4.5 tonnes (5 tons).
2. Stabilize tractor by placing transmission
into gear, engaging the parkbrake, and
chocking wheels securely. Engage tractor
articulation.
3. To prevent jackknifing, use two hoists or
two jacks to lift the rear frame.
4. Secure jack under the axle tube, frame, or
drawbar where it is strong enough to keep
the jack from tipping, sinking, or shifting.
Any additional blocking should be under
the jack.
5. Jack up front and/or rear just enough to
install steel safety stands under axle tubes
or frames.
6. Check jack position after it has started to
lift. Lower jack immediately if it starts to
lean. Reset jack; block the tractor more
securely and lift again.
7. Keep tractor stable by not raising it so high
that it may slide off the jack.
8. Put support stands under the tractor.
Lower the jack and let the tractor rest on
the stands. This provides solid support for
the tractor when the jack is removed.

4.2 HOISTS
1. Use a chain hoist and frame to lift the
tractor. The minimum hoist capacity re-
quired is 9 tonnes (10 tons); 7257 kg (8
tons) for the A-frame or overhead support
and 2 721 (3 tons) for the support stands.
2. Protect yourself from injury during hoisting
by observing the following precautions:
a. Do not stand on tractor as it is being
lifted.
b. Keep hands away from pinch points
where chain links tighten or the chain
is against the tractor frame.
c. Do not let tractor swing and strike per-
sonnel or the frame as it leaves the
ground.
d. Keep support stands nearby and place
under tractor when the necessary
height is reached.
e. Do not go under a tractor supported by
a chain hoist. Put support stands under
the tractor before working under it. •
3. Extreme care must be exercised when
hoisting, lowering or moving any trans-
mission components.
5 Fuel, Fluids and Lubricants
WARNING----------,
BE ALl!RT
DO NOT HANDLE FUELS OR
FILL FUEL TANKS NEAR AN
OPEN FLAME, WHILE SMOK-
ING OR UNDER ANY CONDI-
TION THAT COULD CAUSE A
SPARK.
DO NOT USE AN OPEN PAIL
OR CAN FOR TRANSPORTING
FUEL. USE ONLY AN AP-
PROVED CONTAINER MANU-
FACTURED FOR THAT
PURPOSE.
WARNING---------
IF CLOTHES ARE SPLASHED
WITH FUEL, CHANGE IMME-
DIATELY. FUEL SOILED
CLOTHES ARE AN EXTREME
FIRE HAZARD.
DISPOSE OF ALL FUEL
SOAKED RAGS. NEVER
LEAVE THEM LYING AROUND
A WORK AREA WHERE THEY
AMAY BE EXPOSED TO FLAME,
SPARK OR CIGARETTE
SMOKING.
BE ALERT
5.1 FUELS
Fuel quality is an important factor for depend-
able performance and satisfactory engine life.
Suitable fuels must be clean, completely dis-
tilled, well refined and non-corrosive to the
fuel system.
Cummins engines use No. 2 diesel fuels. They
will also operate satisfactorily on No. 1 diesel
fuels or other fuels within the following spec-
ifications:
1. Less than one percent sulphur content.
2. Sediment and water content less than 0.1
percent.
3. Cetane number of at least 40. A higher
grade may be necessary at low temper-
atures or high altitudes.
4. Pour point below the lowest expected
temperature.
5. Ash content of less than 0.02 percent.
6. Viscosity of 1.3 to 5.8 centistokes at 40° C
(104° F).
Further details about fuel specifications are
contained in the Cummins Engine Operator's
Manual.

5.2 FLUIDS
5.2.1 Coolant
The tractor is factory filled with a 1:1 ratio of
water to ethyl glycol antifreeze. The coolant
should be a water/antifreeze mix. Use a good
commercial grade glycol base antifreeze in the
proportions recommended by the manufact-
urer. Do not use oil base or alcohol base anti-
freezes. Foaming and gelling could result and
damage the cooling system.
IMPORTANT
Do not use calcium chloride sol-
ution; it is harmful to the cooling
system.
