1.1 Introduction
The purpose of this manual is to enable the owner and operator to operate the implement safely and
appropriately. If the instructions are followed correctly, the implement will work for many years, following
the Valtra tradition. Configuring and adjusting the implement in the dealership will ensure that these
operating and service instructions are properly understood.
Always consult the dealer if any part of the manual is not understood. It is extremely important that these
instructions are understood and followed.
Daily maintenance should become a routine. Always keep a record of the service hours. When ordering
new parts, use only original Valtra parts. The Valtra dealer network provides original parts and can give
instructions for installation and use. Using low quality parts can seriously damage the equipment.
We recommend that customers buy service parts from authorised Valtra dealers only.
Due to variations in operating conditions, it is impossible for the manufacturer to make comprehensive or
definitive statements in its publications with respect to the performance or usage methods of its
machines, or to be responsible for any damages or losses arising from such statements, errors or
omissions.
To prevent the warranty being invalidated, consult your Valtra dealer for special instructions if the tractor
will be used in special conditions that may be harmful (use in deep waters or in flooded fields, for
example). These products were designed for agricultural applications only (appropriate use). Any other use
shall be considered inappropriate.
Valtra is not liable for damage to property or personal injuries caused by improper use. The user must take
full responsibility for the consequences of misuse.
Conformity and full adherence to the operation, service and maintenance requirements specified by Valtra
are essential factors for appropriate use.
These implements must be operated and maintained only by qualified personnel familiar with their
features, in addition to the safety rules and standards (accident prevention). It is recommended that
customers contact one of the Valtra dealerships in the event of post-sale problems and for any adjustment
that may be required.

1.5 Safe Operation
CAUTION: An unbalanced tractor may roll over and cause serious accidents.
Make sure that the counter weights of the front frame, the wheel weights and the wheel
ballasting are used in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations. DO NOT add
extra weights to compensate for an overloaded tractor. Reduce load. Keep your arms and
legs inside the operator's compartment during operation of the tractor.
1.5.1 General operating hazards
• Make sure that the PTO shield is installed when the PTO shaft is not being used.
• Before coupling, uncoupling, cleaning, or adjusting PTO-powered implements, disengage the
implement, stop the engine, remove the ignition key and make sure that the PTO shaft is stopped.
• Make sure that all of the PTO shields are in place and note all safety signs.
• Make sure that no one is near the machine before engaging the PTO. For stationary PTO operations,
always place the transmission in neutral, set the parking brake and chock the wheels of the tractor and
implement.
• When operating PTO-powered mobile equipment, do not leave the tractor seat until the PTO is
disengaged, the transmission is in neutral and the parking brake is engaged, and the engine is o and
the key is removed from the ignition.
• Do not use adapters, reducers or extensions for the PTO, because these components extend the
coupler and the universal joint in addition to the protection oered by the PTO.
• The 3-point arm and the levelling arms must not be extended beyond the point where the threads are
beginning to appear.
DANGER:
Do not attempt to disconnect the hydraulic connections or adjust the implement with the
engine running or with the PTO engaged. Failure to follow these instructions can cause
serious injury or death.
• When using chemical substances, follow the manufacturer's instructions regarding use, storage and
appropriate sites for disposal. Also follow the manufacturer's instructions regarding application of the
substance.
• When operating with poor visibility or in the dark, use the tractor lights for field operation and reduce
the speed of travel (do not use the service lights when travelling on roads, as these lights may be illegal
in some places - except when used as a reverse light - because they can confuse other drivers).
• Operate the tractor with the widest wheels track setting possible, consistent with the task being
performed. To adjust the wheel track, see the Maintenance and Adjustment section.
• Reduce speed when operating on uneven or slippery ground or when foliage obstructs your vision.
• Do not make sharp turns at high speed.
1.5.2 Implements and additional equipment
WARNING: The front loader (bucket or forks) must be equipped with an appropriate
restriction device to prevent the load (bales, fence posts, wires etc.) from falling from the
lift arms.
If the load falls on the operator's compartment, it can crush the driver. Objects that are
poorly fixed can also fall and injure bystanders.
Make sure that the loader has this equipment.

CAUTION: When the tractor is coupled to front loaders or blades, it may only be used for
material movement activities.
Any other activity, especially excavations, places the integrity of the equipment at risk,
potentially leaving it inoperative.
Never use the tractor coupled to front chargers or blades for any other activity than
movement of loose materials. The load should be applied to the center of the bucket or
blade; furthermore, there should be no strain when the steering is turned to the right or
left. If the front-wheel drive is engaged, disengage it to work with the loaders or front
blade.
• Implements mounted on 3-point linkage and side implements make a much higher arc when the towed
equipment is operated. Always maintain enough clearance for maneuvers. Only use equipment that is
approved by Valtra.
• When using accessories or implements with the tractor, carefully read the Maintenance Guide for the
respective attachment or implement and follow the safety instructions. Only use equipment that is
approved by Valtra.
• Do not overload the towed accessory or equipment. Use suitable counterweights to ensure the stability
of the tractor. Attach loads to the drawbar only.
• When the tractor is equipped with implements and/or accessories, in addition to adhering to the tractor
and implement and/or accessory manuals, the restrictions of tractor use when attaching certain
implements and/or accessories must also be observed.
• A safety chain will help you to control towed equipment in the event that it accidentally detaches from
the drawbar during transport. Using appropriate adapters, hitch the chain to the tractor drawbar support
or another specific location for this purpose. Leave only a small gap in the safety chain for maneuvers.
Use a Valtra safety chain with strength equal to or greater than the gross weight of the towed machine.
• Make sure that the towed parts are installed with a safety chain connecting the tractor to the tool, if
required by law.
• Only transport the implement using the
drawbar. Towing through hitching to other
locations may cause the tractor to roll over.

ATTENTION: If any part of the equipment breaks, comes loose or breaks down, stop working, lower the
equipment to ground level, shut down the engine, inspect the machine and make the necessary repairs or
adjustments before restarting the operation.
Take care with pedestrians
Always be aware of what is happening around you. Do not allow untrained or unqualified personnel to
operate the tractor. They can cause serious accidents.
Do not let other people walk on the implement or
other equipment, such as trailers, with the
exception of some harvesting equipment, which is
specially designed for passengers during
harvesting operations (not during transport). You
must have space in such equipment, so that this
type of transport can be carried out in complete
safety. Do not allow children on the tractor.

• Make sure that you can control both the speed
and the direction of the machine before you put
it in motion. Move the machine slowly until you
are sure that everything is working as it should.
After start-up, check the steering again — to
the right and to the left. Make sure that you can
move the machine, both to the right and to the
left, and that you have full control of the brakes.
If the dierential is locked, do not operate at
high speed or maneuver the tractor until the
dierential lock is unlocked.

• Keep people away from the operation site. Do not let other people remain under or pass beneath a
raised implement.
• If a loader is being used, avoid abrupt stops, starts or maneuvers, or sudden changes of direction. Keep
loads close to the ground during transport.
• Never stop (or let others stop) in front, underneath or behind equipment that is loaded or being loaded.
Do not drive the tractor in the direction of someone who is stationary in front of a fixed object.
• Keep people away from the universal joints, hitches, drawbar, lift arms, PTO drives, cylinders, belts,
pulleys and other moving parts. Keep all safeguards in place.
• Do not stand, or let others stand, between the tractor and the implement, unless the engine is
switched o and the park brake is engaged, transmission is in neutral and all accessories are lowered to
ground level.

1.6 Road Transport
Before you operate your tractor on public roads,
some precautions must be taken:
• Familiarise yourself with and comply with the
regulations applicable to your machine.
• Lock brake pedals with the union lock.
• Lift all implements to the transport position and
lock them in this position.
• Place all implements on the narrowest
transport setting.
• Turn o the tractor PTO and disengage the
dierential lock.
• Make sure that all the warning lights are in
place and working.
• Clean all front and rear reflectors and trac
lights and make sure they are working.
GUID-684FFB9F-77E8-437B-BF3B-23AADC5CA59A-high.jpg [High]
Fig. 7
• Make sure that both the tractor and implements are equipped with slow-moving vehicle warning
triangles and other marking materials to improve visibility on the road, where the law requires.
1.6.1 Transport on truck
Transportation over long distances should be done on a truck, trailer, etc., noting the following instructions:
• Use suitable ramps to load or unload the implement and/or tractor. Do not do so on ravines;
• In case of hoists, use proper points to attach your implement;
• Use the support foot(s) of the implement to support it correctly and properly chock the wheels;
• Use enough slings (cables, ropes, chains, etc.) to immobilise the implement during transport. Check the
conditions of the load after the first 10 to 12 km of travel, and then after every 50 to 60 km if the slings
are coming loose. Check more often unpaved roads (side roads) or roads with excessive potholes;
• Pay attention to the transport height, especially under electrical wires, hangars, trees, etc.

1.7 Quality, environment, safety and occupational health policy
AGCO™is committed to developing, producing and marketing products intended to meet the
mechanisation needs of the worldwide agroindustry, considering and implementing the most appropriate
alternatives, aimed at worker Health and Safety and preservation of the Environment.
1.7.1 Main guidelines
AGCO South America is committed to developing, producing and marketing products intended to meet the
mechanization needs of the world agricultural industry taking into consideration:
1. Obtaining the profitability necessary to support the business.
2. The satisfaction of its customers.
3. Adopting practices to prevent pollution, reduce consumption of natural resources and prevent the
occurrence of injuries and occupational diseases.
4. Complying with applicable legal requirements and other agreed requirements.
5. Managing the organization in pursuit of ongoing improvement of the eectiveness of its Quality,
Environmental, Safety and Health Management System for workers.
How to achieve these objectives?
Commit to the partnership between the company and the environment to ensure it continues into the
future. With its belief in the above, Valtra has laid out its Environmental Policy and the implementations for
its achievement, through the deployment of an Environmental Management system and a Cleaner
Production Program.
1.7.2 ISO 14000
ISO 14000 is a set of Standards defined by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) to
standardise environmental management. The ISO 14000 series is made up of six groups of Standards,
each covering a specific subject of the environmental issue. Standard 14001 is applicable for Valtra, which
deals with environmental management systems.
1.7.3 Environmental Management System
The Environmental Management System (EMS) is a set of procedures for managing and running a
company in order to obtain the best relationship with the environment.
This system aims to fully analyse the company's activities, products and services in terms of how they
influence the environment and to make an ongoing commitment to environmental quality.
1.7.4 Environmental issues
Greenhouse eect
The earth's rise in temperature is due to the accumulation of carbon dioxide (CO) and methane (CH4) in the
atmosphere. The excess of carbon dioxide gas is produced through industrial processes, consumption of
fossil fuels and fires. "High levels of global warming could melt the polar ice caps and cause floods".
Ozone layer depletion
Ozone (O3) acts as a solar filter in layers of the upper atmosphere, protecting us from the eects of
harmful rays. Some gases, such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), used in the refrigeration industry, destroy
the ozone, causing a "hole" in the ozone layer. "It is estimated that this causes 100,000 cases of skin cancer
worldwide each year".

Population explosion
It is estimated that in the year 2020 the global population will have reached 8 billion. The majority of this
population lives in precarious conditions, without basic sanitation, education and medical assistance.
"Population growth, combined with the adverse conditions this imposes on the planet, is an unsustainable
situation".
Sustainable development
This is a new type of development, which seeks to reconcile the social and economic needs of mankind
with the need to preserve the environment and natural resources, so as to ensure the sustainability of life
on earth.
Sustainable Development is believed to be the only way to confront poverty, waste, environmental
degradation and social problems.
1.7.5 Recommendations for users and customers
With regard to the aforementioned ecological issue, we have put together some suggestions below, also
seeking to raise your awareness on this issue, which involves the use and servicing of the tractor during its
entire service life.
• Seek to adopt appropriate farming practices, with the aim of causing minimum environmental damage;
• Use your machine with the maximum possible eciency, correctly adjusting the controls and operating
under appropriate conditions (gear, rotation, speed etc.) as stated in this Manual;
• Get the most use out of your equipment, for as long as possible. This is achieved through adequate
preventive servicing, as per the recommendations;
• Carry out integrated pest management, which consists of a series of procedures and monitoring the
crop, applying pesticides only when necessary and in the right amount;
• Do not waste any fertilizers, seeds, pesticides etc. Always use products as indicated.
• Avoid fires, by adopting appropriate cultivation practices, the example of "planting in straw" or No-Tillage
Planting.
• Dispose of parts and fluids as provided for by Law.
Metals
Recycling metals has many advantages. Each ton of recycled steel represents a saving of 1140 kg of iron
ore, 454 kg of coal and 18 kg of lime.
Oils and fluids
Using lubrication on the equipment results in thermo-oxidative degradation and the accumulation of
contaminants, which means it is necessary to change it.
Never dispose of oil or fluids in nature. Collect them and take them to the petrol station where you buy
these products. The oils can be refined or, as a last resort, incinerated in industrial landfills that are
regulated by law.
Battery
When abandoned in nature, batteries have devastating eects. For this reason, send used batteries to
companies that recycle them or return them to the respective supplier, as the supplier is obliged to dispose
of batteries as provided for by law.
Tires
Power generation and retreading were the first forms of recycling for these items. Advances in technology
brought new alternatives, such as mixing with asphalt.
GUID-2EBBC4BF-2D46-4AAF-84C1-B0A74CDA0742 [V3]
1. Security
HiTech 1-13
ACW3452230

Despite the high rate of retreading practiced today, which extends the service life of tires by 40%, the
majority of worn tires still end up being deposited in landfills, on the edge of rivers and roads, and even in
backyards, attracting insects, which transmit disease.
Plastics
Oil is the raw material used in the production of plastic. When recycled, plastic consumes only 10% of the
energy required to produce the same quantity through the conventional process. As with glass, it is not
biodegradable. For this reason, and because of its increasing use, recycling becomes essential.
Glass
Glass scrap has several uses, such as: making asphalt, producing foam and fiberglass, jewelry and
reflective paints.
Cardboard
One ton of recycled cardboard prevents 12 trees from being cut down.
1.7.6 CONAMA Resolution
The CONAMA (Conselho Nacional Do Meio Ambiente — national environment council of Brazil), in
Resolution 257 of 30 June 1999, sets out the rules and responsibilities relating to the management and
disposal of used batteries. This Resolution also determines that all establishments that distribute or resell
such products must be aware of this Resolution and must receive information and advertisements to guide
the end user in terms of their responsibilities to return used batteries to manufacturers through the
establishments that sell them and/or provide technical assistance service.
