I
Electro-Magnetic Interference (EMC)
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 ob-
serve the following:
•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 machine.
•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.
•The add–on equipment must not interfere with the functioning of the on board electronics.
Failure to comply with these rules will render the New Holland warranty null and void.

SECTION 1
INTRODUCTION AND SAFETY MEASURES
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 New Holland
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.
CLEANING THE TRACTOR
Your tractor is a state-of-the-art machine with user
friendly controls. This should be borne in mind when
cleaning the tractor, particularly if using a high
pressure washer. Even though every precaution has
been taken to safeguard electrical components and
connections, the pressure generated by some of
these machines is such that complete protection
against water ingress can not 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.
SAFETY
Pages 1–5 to 1–18 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.
FIRST 50 HOUR SERVICE
In Section 9, at the back of this Manual, you will find
the 50–hour service reports.
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 9–1 and 9–3). 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 9–3) 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 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.
