SECTION 1 INTRODUCTION AND SAFETY MEASURES TO THE OWNER

SAFETY

GENERAL

Pages 1–5 to 1–25 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.

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.

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

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.

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.

SECTION 1 – INTRODUCTION AND SAFETY MEASURES

ECOLOGY AND THE ENVIRONMENT

Soil, air and water are vital factors of agriculture and life in general. Where legislation does not yet rule the treatment of some of the substances which are required by advanced technology, common sense should govern the use and disposal of products of a chemical and petrochemical nature.

The following are recommendations which may be of assistance: •

Become acquainted with and ensure that you understand the relative legislation applicable to your country.

•

Ask your suppliers of lubricants, oils, fuels, antifreeze, detergents, etc.. for information on the effects of these products on humans and the environment and for instructions concerning their use, storage and disposal. In many cases, local agricultural consultants will be able to provide assistance.

HELPFUL HINTS 1. Avoid filling tanks using unsuitable containers or inappropriate pressurised fuel delivery systems which may cause considerable spillage.

2. In general, avoid skin contact with all fuels, oils, acids, solvents, etc. Most of them contain substances which can be harmful to your health.

1–4

3. Modern oils contain additives. Do not burn contaminated fuels and/or waste oils in ordinary heating systems.

4. Avoid spillage when transferring used engine cooling liquids, engine and transmission lubricants, hydraulic oils, brake fluids, etc.. Never mix used brake oil with fuel oil, or fuel oil with lubricants. Store safely until suitable disposal can be arranged according to national legislation or local regulations.

5. Modern antifreeze liquids and solutions, e.g. antifreeze and other additives, must bereplaced every two years. They must not be left to be absorbed into the ground, but must be collected and disposed of in a suitable manner.

6. Repair any leaks or defects in the engine cooling or hydraulic system immediately.

7. Do not increase the pressure in a pressurised circuit as this may lead to the components exploding.

8. Protect hoses during welding as penetrating weld splatter may burn a hole or weaken them, causing the loss of oils, coolant, etc.

9. Do not adjust the setting of the fuel delivery system as this will alter the emission of exhaust fumes.

NOTE: The engines installed on the tractors comply with anti–pollution legislation.

Do not use the tractor without wearing the seat restraint system (seat belt) during activities where roll – over or tip – over hazards exist. Cabs with a roll over protection structure (ROPS) or ROPS offer adequate protection only when the operator is correctly fastened in his seat.

Do not use the tractor beyond the respective limits of dynamic stability. High speed, abrupt manoeuvres and fast and tight cornering will increase the risk of roll – over.

Do not use the tractor for pulling work, in cases where you do not know whether the load will yield, for instance when pulling stumps. The tractor may flip over when the stump is not yielding.

Be extremely cautious when working with the tractor on forage silos with outside concrete walls. To increase the tractor’s side stability, it is possible to mount twin wheels or increase its track setting.

Be cautious that the centre of gravity of the tractor may increase when loads on the front – end loader or the three point linkage are raised. In these conditions, the tractor may roll – over earlier than expected.

SECTION 1 – INTRODUCTION AND SAFETY MEASURES TOWING AND TRANSPORT

SERVICING THE TRACTOR

1. To guarantee tractor stability when moving, adjust the hitching device according to the trailer or implement to be used.

2. Drive slowly when towing extremely heavy loads.

3. For your own safety, do not tow trailers that are not fitted with an independent braking system.

4. If the tractor is used to tow heavy loads, always use the hitching device and never hitch loads onto the lower arms or the top link of the three–point linkage. This may result in tipping or overturning.

USING IMPLEMENTS AND AGRICULTURAL MACHINERY 1. Do not connect implements or machinery that require more power than can be generated by your tractor model.

2. Never negotiate sharp bends with the power take–off under a heavy load; this may damage the universal joints on the transmission shaft connected to the power take–off.

3. Never stand between the reversing tractor and the implement when hitching.

4. Do not operate machines connected to the power take–off without first ensuring that the operating range of the machine is free of bystanders. Also check that all rotating parts connected to the power take–off shaft are correctly protected.

STOPPING THE TRACTOR 1. When the tractor is stationary, never leave connected implements in the raised position. All implements must be lowered before stopping the engine.

2. Before leaving the driving position, move the gear lever to the neutral position, disengage the power take–off, apply the handbrake, stop the engine and put the tractor in gear.

Always remove the ignition key from the instrument panel when leaving the tractor unattended.

3. Park on flat surfaces, where possible, put the tractor into gear and apply the handbrake. On slopes, in addition to applying the handbrake, put the tractor in first gear when facing downhill. As an additional safety measure, use wheel chocks (available as an optional); this procedure is compulsory when parking with a trailer hitched.

1. The cooling system operates under pressure which is controlled by the expansion tank cap. It is dangerous to remove the cap while the system is hot. Always turn the cap slowly to the first stop and allow the pressure to escape before removing the cap entirely. Never remove the cap from the top of the radiator unless the expansion tank pressure cap has first been removed.

2. Do not smoke while refuelling the tractor. Keep any type of open flame away.

3. Keep the tractor and equipment, particularly brakes and steering, maintained in a reliable and satisfactory condition to ensure your safety and comply with legal requirements.

4. To prevent fire or explosion, keep open flames away from battery or cold weather starting aids.

To prevent sparks which could cause explosion, use jumper cables according to instructions.

5. Stop the engine before performing any service on the tractor.

6. Hydraulic fluid and fuel oil in the injection system operate under high pressure. Leaks of pressurised oil can cause serious injuries. When looking for leaks use the appropriate safety equipment: screens, safety glasses and gloves.

Unqualified persons should not remove or attempt to adjust a pump, injector, nozzle or any other part of the fuel injection or hydraulic systems. Failure to follow these instructions can result in serious injury.

•

Do not use your hand to check for leaks. Use a piece of cardboard or paper to search for leaks.

•

Stop the engine and relieve pressure before connecting or disconnecting lines.

1–15

SECTION 1 – INTRODUCTION AND SAFETY MEASURES DIESEL FUEL 1. Under no circumstances should gasoline, alcohol or blended fuels be added to diesel fuel.

These combinations can create an increased fire or explosive hazard. In a closed container such as a fuel tank these blends are more explosive than pure gasoline. Do not use these blends.

2. Never remove the fuel cap or refuel with the engine running or hot.

•

Tighten all connections before starting the engine or pressurising lines.

•

If fluid is injected into the skin obtain medical attention immediately or gangrene may result.

7. Do not modify or alter or permit anyone else to modify or alter the tractor or any of its components or any tractor function without first consulting an authorised dealer.

8. Continuous long term contact with used engine oil may cause skin cancer. Avoid prolonged contact with used engine oil. Wash skin promptly with soap and water.

9. Keep equipment clean and properly maintained.

10. Dispose of all drained fluids and removed filters properly.

11. Tractor wheels are very heavy. Handle with care and ensure, when stored, that they can not topple and cause injury.

12. Do not work on the tyres with unsuitable equipment or without the necessary experience.

Incorrect tyre fitting may put safety at risk. If in doubt, contact skilled personnel.

13. When changing or storing tyres, make sure they are stacked correctly and can not roll or topple over causing personal injury.

3. Do not smoke while refuelling the tractor or when standing near fuel. Keep any type of open flame away.

4. Maintain control of the fuel filler pipe nozzle when filling the tank.

5. Do not fill the fuel tank to capacity. Fill only to the bottom of the filler neck to allow room for expansion.

6. Wipe up spilled fuel immediately.

7. Always tighten the fuel tank cap securely.

8. If the original fuel tank cap is lost, replace it with an approved cap. A non–approved cap may not be safe.

9. Never use fuel for cleaning purposes.

10. Arrange fuel purchases so that summer grade fuels are not held over and used in the winter.

11. Do not fill up the fuel tank completely if the tractor is to work in extremely sunny conditions, as the fuel may expand and escape. If this occurs, dry up the spillage immediately.

12. Always keep a fire extinguisher at hand.
