WARRANTY
O P E R A T O R M A N U A L
2.1 Introduction
Owing to wide variations in operating conditions, it is
impossible for the Company to make comprehensive
or definitive statements in its publications regarding
performance or methods of use of its machines, or to
accept liability for any loss or damage which may result
from these statements, or from any errors or
omissions. If the tractor is to be used for abnormal
conditions which may be detrimental (e.g. deep water
or paddy fields) consult your Dealer for special
instructions, or the warranty may be invalidated.
These tractors are designed solely for use in
customary agricultural operations (intended use).
NOTE: This book is published for worldwide
distribution, and availability of equipment shown
either as basic or accessory may vary according to the
territory in which the tractor is to be operated. Full
details of equipment available in your area can be
obtained from your Dealer.
The purpose of this book is to enable the owner and
driver to operate the tractor in a safe manner.
Providing that the instructions are followed carefully,
the tractor will give years of service in our tradition.
Use in any other way is considered as contrary to the
The installation of the product by the Dealer gives the
opportunity to ensure that the operating and
maintenance instructions are understood. Always
consult your Dealer if do not understand any part of
this book. It is important that these instructions are
understood and observed. Daily maintenance should
become a routine, and a record of hours in service
should be kept.
When new parts are required it is important that only
genuine service parts are used. Our Authorized
Dealers supply genuine parts and can give advice
regarding their fitment and use. Extensive damage
may occur as a result of the fitment of parts of inferior
quality, Customers are advised to buy their service
parts only from an authorized Dealer.
These tractors should be operated, serviced and
repaired only by persons familiar with all their
particular characteristics and who are acquainted
with the relevant safety rules (accident prevention).
Customers are strongly advised to use an official
authorized Dealer in connection with any service
problems and adjustment that may occur.
intended use. The tractor manufacturer accepts no
liability for any damage or injury resulting from misuse
and these risks must be borne solely by the user
Compliance with, and strict adherence to, the
conditions of operation, service and repair as specified
by the manufacturer also constitute essential
elements for the intended use.
2.2 Wa r r a n t y, P r e - d e l i v e r y a n d
Installation
The Company, when selling new goods to their
Dealers, gives a warranty which, subject to certain
conditions, guarantees that the goods are free from
defects in material and workmanship. Since this book
is published for worldwide circulation, it is impossible
to detail the exact terms and conditions of warranty
that apply to a retail customer in any particular country.
Purchasers of new equipment should request full
details from their supplying Dealer.
In accordance with the Company policy of continuous
improvement to its machines, alterations in the
specifications of machines may be made at any time
without notice. The Company accepts no responsibility
for discrepancies which may occur between the
specifications of its machines and the descriptions
thereof contained in its publications.
A dealer is required to carry out certain activities when
supplying a new tractor. These consist of a full pre-
delivery inspection to ensure that the tractor supplied
is ready for immediate use, and full instruction in the
basic principles of operation and maintenance of the
tractor. These instructions will cover instruments and
controls, routine maintenance and safety precautions.
All persons who will be concerned with the operation
and maintenance of the machine should be present for
these instructions.
NOTE: The tractor manufacturer will not accept
responsibility for any claim resulting from the
fitment of non-approved parts or attachments, or
unauthorized modification or alteration.
NOTE: WARRANTY WILL BE REIMBURSED AS
PER THE WARRANTY POLICY, KINDLY CONTACT
NEARBY DEALER/DISTRIBUTOR.

2.3 Warranty Procedure
Correc t i nstalla t i on, c o upled w ith r e gular
maintenance, will do much to prevent breakdowns. If,
however, operating trouble is experienced during the
warranty period, the following procedure must be
adopted:-
Immediately notify the Dealer from whom you
purchased the tractor, quoting the Model and Serial
Number. It is most important that there should be no
delay, and you should realize that, even where the
original failure is covered by warranty .if the failure is not
repaired immediately, warranty cover may not apply.
Provide your Dealer with as much background
information as you can. It will help him to know how
many hours service has been achieved, the type of
work on which you are engaged and the symptoms of
the trouble.
It should be noted that normal maintenance services
such as tuning, brake/clutch adjustments, and the
supply of materials used to service the tractor (oil,
filters, fuel and antifreeze) are not covered by terms of
the warranty.
The fitment of non genuine parts may result in a part
of substandard quality being used. The tractor
manufacturer will not take the responsibility for any
loss, damage or liability resulting from the fitment of
such parts, and, if fitted during the normal warranty
period the manufacturer's guarantee may be
invalidated.
2.5 If You Move
Only the official dealer from whom you purchase the
tractor is responsible for the protection afforded by your
warranty and, where possible, you should always take
the tractor to him for repair. If, however. you move to
another area or if your tractor should be working
temporarily at some distance from the Dealer from
whom it was purchased, you are recommended to
obtain from the original Dealer the name and address
of the Dealer nearest to your new location and to ask for
arrangements to be made for outstanding service
warranty commitments to be transferred to the latter. If
you have left the area in which the original Dealer
operates and have not made arrangements with your
2.4 Parts Warning
WARNING : In some of the illustrations used
in this Operator instruction Book, panels or
guards may have been removed for clarity.
Never operate the tractor without these
components in position. If the removal of
panels or guards is necessary to make a
repair, they MUST be replaced before
operation
a. You make it clear that the warranty has not
expired and
During the warranty period, you should have all your
repairs and maintenance performed by your dealer.
This ensures that a detailed check is kept on the
progress and performance of your new tractor.
Read and implement the safety instructions detailed
in the next section of this book.
The mechanics are regularly trained and updated on
the product, servicing techniques and the use of
modern service tools and diagnostic equipment. They
receive regular Service Bulletins; have all Workshop
Manuals and other such technical information to
ensure that the repair or service is to the standard
required.
In order to obtain the best results from your tractor it is
important that regular maintenance and service
checks continue after the warranty period has
expired. Make use of your local Dealer for all major
tractor services; a trained engineer will spot any
problems between the service and the next.
The safety of operator is one of the main concerns in
designing and developing a new tractor. Designers build
in as many safety features as possible. However, every
year many accidents occur which could have been
avoided by a few seconds thought and a more careful
approach to handling farm machinery and implements.

2.10 Safety: A Word to the Operator
This safety section of your Operator Instruction book
is intended to point out some of the basic safety
situations which may be encountered during the
normal operation and maintenance and to suggest
possible ways of dealing with these situations. This
section is NOT a replacement for other safety
practices featured in other sections of this book.
It is YOUR responsibility to read and understand the
safety section in this manual before operating your
tractor. You must follow these safety instructions that
take you step by step through your working day.
Additional precautions may be necessary depending on
attachments used and conditions at the work site or in the
service area. The tractor manufacturer has no direct
control over tractor application, operation, inspection,
lubrication or maintenance. Therefore it is YOUR
responsibility to use good safety practices in these areas.
2.9 Safety: Introduction
2.8 Safety Alert Symbols and Terms
This safety alert symbol means ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED !
The safety alert symbol identifies important safety messages on machines, safety signs, in manuals
or elsewhere. When you see this symbol, be alert to the possibility of personal injury or death.
Why is SAFETY important to you? *ACCIDENT DISABLE and KILL*
* ACCIDENTS are COSTLY * * ACCIDENTS can be AVOIDED*
SAFETY: TRACTOR and IMPLEMENT
! It does not cover all operation and safety instructions relevant to all known implements and attachments
that may be fitted at the time of tractor delivery or at some future date.
! This instruction book is compiled to cover those safe working practices that are associated with the base
tractor operation.
! It is essential that operators use and understand the relevant instruction manual of such implements and
attachments.
! The tractor is a source of power: Both mechanical and hydraulic.
! On its own, the tractor is of little practical value. Only when used in conjunction with an implement or other
attachment does it become a working unit.
REMEMBER: SAFETY IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.
YOU CAN PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY.
Remember that YOU are the key to safety. Good
safety practices not only protect you, but also the
people around you. Study the features in this manual
and make them a working part of your safety program.
In reading this section, you will note that illustrations
have been used to highlight certain situations. Each
illustration is numbered and the same number
appears in the text in parenthesis. This number is
placed at the end of the written text that refers to the
illustration and is made up of two digits, separated by
a dot: the first digit designates the chapter, the second
one of the figure number in that chapter (e.g. Fig.2.34
of chapter 2).
Keep in mind that this safety section is written only for
this type of machine. Practice all other usual and
customary safe working precautions, and above all.
