SECTION 1
GENERAL INFORMATION AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
GENERAL
This Use and Maintenance Manual provides a guide
for the user with regard to running--in, use and
maintenance of the tractor.
Read this manual carefully and keep in a convenient
place for future reference. Do not hesitate to contact
your local dealer for any queries concerning your
tractor. The dealer can provide skilled personnel,
trained by the manufacturer, original service parts
and all tools and equipment necessary for your
service requirements.
The tractor is designed as a power generator and
drive--propulsion unit for use in normal and traditional
agricultural conditions.
The tractor is also designed to provide maximum
performance, economic running and easy use over a
wide range of operations. Prior to delivery, all
machines are carefully inspected (by both the
Manufacturer and your local authorised dealer), to
make sure that they reach the user in perfect
condition. To maintain the tractor in this condition and
ensure trouble--free operation, the routine
maintenance described in Section 3 of this manual
must be carried out at the specified intervals.
CLEANING THE TRACTOR
Your tractor is an advanced machine, fitted with an
electro--hydraulic control system. Care must be taken
when cleaning the tractor, especially if a pressurised
water cleaner is used.
•When using a pressure washer, never stand too
close to the tractor or direct the water jet on
electrical components, seals or intake openings,
etc..
•Never direct jets of cold water at the hot engine
or exhaust. See also Section 4
(Recommendations for bodywork maintenance).
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Safety precautions for the operator and bystanders
are shown on page vii to xii inclusive. Read the safety
instructions and follow recommendations and hints
before starting to use the tractor.
SERVICE AFTER THE FIRST 50 HOURS
OF WORK
The operations required for the first service are
shown at the end of the Manual, immediately prior to
the index.
After the first 50 hours of use, return to the dealer with
your tractor and this Manual in order to carry out the
Manufacturer’s checks and to fill in the certificates
included on pages 9--1 and 9--3). The first sheet
(page 9--1) must be compiled on completion of the
service and held by the dealer. The second sheet
(page 9--3) must be kept in the Manual for
documentation and reference purposes. Check that
both copies are signed by both yourself and the
dealer.
SPARE PARTS
“Non--original” spare parts have not been tested or
authorised by the Manufacturer. Installment and/or
use of such products may adversely affect the
tractor’s design specifications, thereby
compromising operational safety. The manufacturer
cannot be held responsible for any damage resulting
from the use of “non--original” spare parts.
No modifications may be made to the tractor without
written authorisation from the Manufacturer.
WARRANTY
The tractor is guaranteed in accordance with current
legislation in your country and in line with contractual
agreements reached with the dealer at the time of
sale. However, the warranty is no longer valid if the
rules and instructions for the use and maintenance of
the tractor, described in this Manual, are not
observed.
