Head Lamp Adjustment

Aiming Head Lamps

1. Park the tractor on level ground at a desired distance (D) from a wall.

2. Measure centre of head lamp to ground height. Place a strip of masking tape on the wall at the same height.

3. Place a piece of tape, folded in the middle to make a point, on the top front center of the hood.

4. Using the tape on hood as a guide, sight across steering wheel and hood to locate tractor centerline. Mark tractor centerline on wall.

5. From tractor centerline, mark a point 5 inch (127 mm) out in each direction. Mask anyone of the headlamps and turn the light switch to dim position.

6. Locate point (A) of bright light projected by each lamp by adjusting knobs (1) and (2) as required. Cover other lamps, if necessary.

7. Repeat the steps 5 & 6 by masking the other lamp.

h1 = D - (h x 0.04) h2 = D - (h x 0.015) units in mm

Bulb Center h - Bulb center distance to Ground h1 - distance between ground to upper level cut off h2 - distance between Ground to lower level cut off.

NOTE: Ensure the light cut off is always between the heights h1 & h2 for optimum coverage of distance.

D - Distance between Tractor to Board

Exceeding the height "h1" will cause glare to the upcoming vehicles.

Falling behind the height "h2" will reduce the distance of light beam.

Lubricants

General

Mahindra recommendation of oil is based on the trials done under specific test conditions. Actual performance of oil may vary in extremely severe environment or operating condition. Hence, ensure oil change as recommended in normal condition and in extremely arduous conditions, it is necessary to reduce the change periods. It is detrimental to use a lubricant for more than the specified period.

Lubricant Storage

Oils used for the tractor should be protected from exposure to dust, water contamination and ensure used oil disposal as per environmental / regulatory requirements.

Alternate Lubricants

Conditions in certain locations may warrant usage of other lubricants then recommended in the manual. In such cases, the alternates may be used provided they meet the minimum performance levels specified.

Mixing of Lubricants

It is generally advised not to mix different brands or types of oil considering the compatibility issues.
