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 authorised
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.
OPERATORS MANUAL
The Operators Manual supplied with your tractor is
an important source of information and should be
stored safely.
The manual is prepared specifically for your tractor
so it is important that you make a note of the print
number and issue date which can be found on the
cover. In the event the manual is lost or damaged it
can be replaced with the correct version.
A storage pocket for the Operators Manual can be
found on the rear of the seat. The manual should be
kept in this pocket at all times when not in use.
SAFETY
Pages 1--8 to 1--36 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.
CLEANING THE TRACTOR
Your tractor is a state-of-the-art machine with
sophisticated, electronic controls. This should be
taken into consideration when cleaning the tractor,
particularly if using a high pressure washer. Even
though every precaution has been taken to
safeguard electronic 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.
Electro-magnetic Interference (EMC)
This tractor complies strictly with the European
Regulations on electro-magnetic emissions.
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 malfunction of the unit and/or create
unsafe situations, you must observe the following:
Ensure that each piece of non-New Holland
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 New
Holland warranty null and void.
FIRST 50 HOUR SERVICE
In Section 8, at the back of this Manual, you will find
the 50--hour service reports.

SECTION 1 -- GENERAL INFORMATION AND SAFETY
1--2
IMPORTANT: It is important the 50 hour service is
carried out as recommended to ensure your tractor
provides optimum performance and efficiency.
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 8--1 and 8--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 8--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 New Holland
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.
BIODIESEL FUELS
IMPORTANT: Before using Biodiesel fuels in your
tractor, refer to the information on page 4--5
regarding the storage and use of Biodiesel fuels.
EMISSION CONTROLS
ATTENTION:The engine and fuel system on your
machine is designed and built to government
emissions standards. Tampering by dealers,
customers, operators and users is strictly
prohibited by law. Failure to comply could result in
government fines, rework charges, invalid warranty,
legal action and possible confiscation of the machine
until rework to original condition is completed.
Engine service and/or repairs must be done by a
certified technician only!

SECTION 1 -- GENERAL INFORMATION AND SAFETY
1--3
PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION
The tractor and major components are identified
using serial numbers and/or manufacturing codes.

SECTION 1 -- GENERAL INFORMATION AND SAFETY
1--6
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, anti
freeze, 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.
10. Do not adjust the setting of the fuel delivery
system as this will alter the emission of exhaust
fumes.
NOTE: The engines installed on the tractors
comply with anti--pollution legislation.

instruction. When used for these purposes an
additional seat may be fitted in the cab.
Passengers should not be carried on the tractor
at any time.
7. Keep children away from the tractor and farm
machinery at all times.
