CHAPTER -2 INTRODUCTION, WARRANTY & SAFETY NOTES
2.1 INTRODUCTION
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.
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.
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 / 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).
Use in any other way is considered as contrary to the 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. These tractors should be operated, serviced and repaired only by persons familiar
with all their 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.
2.2 WARRANTY PROCEDURE
Correct installation, coupled with regular 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

17 | P a g e
OWNER’S MANUAL | STARTRAC 263 4WD –8G –STAGE –V
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.
2.3 PARTS WARNING
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 warranty may be invalidated.
2.4 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. However if 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 new Dealer, the latter will readily provide assistance in
emergency, but you will be charged at normal rates for any work undertaken unless:
You make it clear that the warranty has not expired, and You give the repairing Dealer the
opportunity to make suitable arrangements with the retailing Dealer. However, you moved
outside of the operation area of retail dealer and if there is no dealer in that particular region,
then the warranty cannot be availed.
2.5 SERVICE AFTER WARRANTY
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.
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 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.
2.6 SAFETY
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.

2.9 SAFETY ALERT SYMBOLS AND TERMS
This safety alert symbol means ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!

manuals or elsewhere. When you see this symbol, be alert to the possibility of personal injury
or death.
Why is SAFETY important to you?

*ACCIDENTS can be AVOIDED*
SAFETY: TRACTOR and IMPLEMENT
•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.
•This instruction book is compiled to cover those safe working practices that are associated with
the base tractor operation.
•It does not cover all operation and safety instructions relevant to all known implements and
