Why is SAFETY important to you?

Accidents Disable And Kill Accidents Are Costly Accidents Can Be Avoided

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. 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 - REMEMBER - SAFETY IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY. YOU CAN PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

SAFETY - DANGER, WARNING and CAUTION

Whenever you see the words and symbols shown below, used in this book and on decals, you MUST take note of their instructions.

The symbol and the word DANGER indicates an imminently hazardous situation with, if not avoided, will result in DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.

The symbol and the word WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation. If the instructions or procedures are not correctly followed it could result in PERSONAL INJURY, OR LOSS OF LIFE.

The symbol and the word CAUTION identifies special instructions or procedure which if not strictly observed, could result in DAMAGE, DESTRUCTION OF EQUIPMENT, OR PERSONAL INJURY.

NOTE : The word NOTE indicates points of particular interest for more efficient and convenient repair or operation.

Work Safely – Follow these Rules

1.Always wear safety glasses when using a hammer, chisel or other tools that may cause chips to fly.

2.Keep work area organized and clean. Wipe up oil or spills of any kind. Keep tools and parts off of the floor. Eliminate the possibility of a fall which could result in a serious injury.

3.Be sure to reinstall safety devices, guards or shields after adjusting and/or servicing the machine.

4.After servicing, be sure all tools, parts, or servicing equipment are removed from the machine.

5.Use a safety catch on all hoist hooks. Do not take a chance, the load could slip off the hook.

6.Batteries give off explosive hydrogen gas when charging and continue to do so for some time after receiving a steady charge. Do not under any circumstances allow an electric spark or an open flame near the battery. Always disconnect a battery cable before working on the electrical system. Always wear safety goggles when servicing batteries.

7.Use proper tools to make repairs, using hammers and chisels or punches when pullers should be used increases the probability of injury.

8.Be careful when using compressed air to dry parts. Use approved air blow guns, do not exceed 30 psi, wear safety glass or goggles and use proper shielding to protect everyone in the work area.

9.Do not wear rings, wrist watches or loose fitting clothing when working on machinery because they could catch on moving parts causing serious injury. Wear sturdy, roughsoled work shoes. Never adjust and/or service a machine with bare feet or while wearing sandals or sneakers.

10.Exhaust gases are highly poisonous! Therefore, do not start the engine in closed rooms unless adequate ventilation is ensured.

B.INSPECTION & REPAIR

The following notes should be used as a general guide for inspection and repair. Where a special procedure is necessary for a component or assembly, full details will be found in the relevant section of the group.

B-1Bearings

Inspect for evidence of overheating, cracks, scores, pitting and general wear. Replace if necessary. Soak in oil, wrap and cover with grease proof paper until required for assembly.

B-2Pins & Bushes

Inspect for damage, scoring and pitting, check with mating parts for wear. Replace if necessary.

B-3Clevis, Clevis Pins and Circlips

Check with mating parts for wear. It is usually advisable to replace such pins/circlips while overhauling.

B-4Gears & Spline

Check for cracks, pitting, burrs, broken chipped teeth. Check for excessive wear with mating parts. Dress off burrs from gears and splines with a fine carborundum stone; care must be taken to remove the burr only. DO NOT interfere with the tooth or spline profile. REPLACE all parts which show signs of damage or excessive wear.

B-5Welds

Check all welded assemblies for cracks, twisting & misalignment. Information concerning the use of special welding rods or welding procedure is detailed, where relevant, in the appropriate section of the group.

B-6Castings

Check castings for cracks and distortion.

B-7Fuel Tanks

Check for leaks.

B-8Fuel, Oil and Coolant Pipes and Hoses

Check unions for leaks, stripped threads or other faults. Check pipes for cracks or chafing, hoses for chafing, twisting or other damage.

B-9Lubrication Fittings

Check for damage of missing fittings and replace. Check that grease and oil galleries are clear.

B-10Gaskets & Seals

During installation, take care not to damage seals or gaskets. Pack lip type seals with grease and use sleeve when a seal has to be passed over splines or threads. Always use new gaskets seals, cotter pins during assembly.

C.STANDARD NUT AND BOLT

C-1Torque Data

The following table is applicable to all standard nuts and bolts providing :-

I.All threads are clean and lubricated with engine oil or chassis grease.

II.Standard height nuts are used on tapped holes contains an equivalent amount of threads.

III.No gaskets or c ompressionable materials are used.

Where a special torque, differing from the table, is required for a particular application, this is mentioned in the section concerned.

Handling Precautions For Electrical Parts And Wiring

To ensure safety and prevent damage to the Machine and surrounding equipment, the following precautions needs to be taken while handling electrical parts & wiring.

IMPORTANT :

•Check electrical wiring for damage and Loosened connection every week.

•Do not attempt to modify or remodel any electrical parts and wiring.

•When removing the battery cable, disconnect the negative wire first. When Installing the battery cable, connect the positive first.

•After connecting cables to battery terminals apply petroleum jelly to them and securely install terminal covers on them.

•Do not allow dirt and dust to get collected on battery.

•Take care not to let battery liquid spill on your skin and cloths. If contaminated, wash it in water immediately.

•Before recharging the battery, remove it from the machine.

•Before recharging, remove cell caps.

FUSE

•Use fuses with Specified capacity. Never use steel or copper wire in place of fuse.

CONNECTOR

•For connector with Lock, push lock to separate. In separating connector do not pull with harness.

•Do not throw or drop electrical parts and wire harness.

•Do not pour water on electrical parts such as main switch and alternator.

OIL, DUST AND DIRT

•If flammable material such as fuel, or Lubricant spills, wipe it off with dry piece of cloth, Do not approach it with an open flame.

•Replace fuel pipe that is aged.

•Remove dirt and dust accumulated on heated parts, wiring harness battery etc.

•Use sand paper to remove corrosion, rust from terminal.

•Repair deformed terminal. Make sure there is no terminal being exposed or displaced.

•Make sure certain plastic cover is large enough to cover whole connector.

Notes

Operational safety and efficient performance are the qualities required for a farm tractor. If it is to fulfil its essential function of replacing manpower and rationalizing farm economy.

This does not only call for a good demonstration when the tractor is handed over to the customer, but also for the ever-ready service of a dealer who is quick to spot the source of any trouble that might develop and take corrective measures in quick time.

Every dealer who sells tractors has the obligation of having well trained servicemen to take care of the machines in operation and keeping an adequate stock of service parts.

The purpose of this Serviceman’s Manual is to supplement information given in the Operator’s Manual which is supplied with every tractor. It is, therefore, advisable to keep both these manuals in the same place.

After carefully studying this book every serviceman should be able to overhaul a tractor completely in his workshop equipped with special tools.
