A SAFETY PRECAUTIONS A The safety of the operator is one of the main concerns in designing and developing a new Tractor. De- signers build in as many safety features as possible. However, every year many accidents occur which could have been avoided by a few seconds of thought and a more careful approach to handling farm machinery and implements. You, the operator, can avoid many accidents by observing the following precautions. Study these precautions and insist those working with you and for you follow them. * Never attempt starting the engine while standing alongside the tractor. Start the engine only while sitting in the operator's seat. * Do not bypass the starter safety switch with "home made" wiring. Consult the MF dealer if the starter safety switch should malfunction. * Never operate the Tractor engine in a closed building. * When operating a gasoline tractor in conjunction with an implement that could discharge trash toward the tractor, install a metal sediment bowl in place of the original heat resistant glass bowl. * If the Tractor is equipped with a Saf-T-Frame USE THE SEAT BELT. * Safety Shields are for your protection - keep them in place. * Be particular about loose clothing which can catch easily in moving parts. * Only you, the operator, should be permitted on the Tractor when it is in operation. Never allow any- one to ride on drawbar, hitch or fender. * Keep a firm grip on the steering wheel at all times with thumbs clear of spokes when operating the Tractor. * Always remain seated when the Tractor is moving over rough ground. * Reduce speed of the Tractor on curves, rough ground and hillsides so there is no chance of overturning. * Make sure the brakes apply evenly when coupled together. * Always keep the Tractor in gear to provide engine braking when going down steep hills or grades. With Multi-Power Transmission, shift to "High" range to provide engine braking. * Never leave the Tractor engine running while working on the Tractor or while drawn equipment is being adjusted, unless specifically recommended. * Place the gearshift lever and dual range lever in "Neutral" when the Tractor is stopped. Apply the parking brake before leaving the Tractor platform. * Do not leave an implement in the raised position when not in use. Lower the implement to the ground. * Always mount and dismount the Tractor from the side. Never to the rear. * Never refuel the Tractor when the engine is running. Do not smoke while filling the fuel tank or servicing the fuel system. * Add coolant to the radiator only when the engine is stopped or idling slowly. Turn the radiator cap slowly to relieve pressure when removing the cap. - i - Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine

* Do not hitch towed loads to any point except standard equipment drawbar or cross drawbar with stay link kit. · * Before making adjustments in the electrical system, disconnect the battery cables. This prevents sparks which create a dangerous fire hazard. * Be sure all hydraulic connections are tight. Before disconnecting lines and hoses to the Tractor hydraulic system, be sure to relieve all pressures. Escaping hydraulic oil under pressure can cause injury. * Never use makeshift jacks when adjusting thread width settings. * Only light Category 11 equipment should be used on tractors having Category I linkage. Heavy Cate- gory 11 equipment may impair Tractor stability. * When preparing calcium chloride solution for liquid tire ballast, never pour water on calcium chloride. A chlorine gas is generated which can be explosive. This can be avoided by slowly adding the calcium chloride flakes to the water and stirring until dissolved. * Always use the headlamps and work lamps for night work. * Use safety lights and SMV Emblem when equipment is being driven on the road or highway. (Check with local authorities for possible legal limitations.) * As a safety precaution, it is recommended that a fire extinguisher be carried on the Tractor at all times. * Remember - "SAFETY" is only a word until it is put into practice. Look for this symbol to point out important safety precautions. It means - ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED. - ii - Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine

IMPORTANT DIESEL FUEL PRECAUTIONS THE FUEL INJECTION EQUIPMENT IS DESIGNED FOR EFFICIENCY, DURABILITY AND LONG LIFE. HOWEVE'R, IT CAN BE SERIOUSLY DAMAGED BY WATER, SEDIMENT OR IN- CORRECT FUEL. THE EXTENT OF TROUBLE-FREE OPERATION AND THE ACTUAL LIFE OF THE COMPONENTS WILL DEPEND ON THE CARE GIVEN THE SYSTEM. READ THE INFORMATION LISTED ON THIS PAGE THOROUGHLY AND ADOPT THE RECOMMENDED PRACTICES. ADHERENCE TO THESE PRACTICES WILL ASSURE ECO- NOMICAL, TROUBLE-FREE OPERATION AND SATISFACTION WITH YOUR DIESEL TRACTOR. 1. Select a REPUTABLE SUPPLIER and buy only CLEAN diesel fuel which meets the RE- QUIRED SPECIFICATIONS. 2. Keep fuel clean by adhering to the following practices: a. Store fuel in tanks equipped with a WATER TRAP. DRAIN TRAPS REGULARLY. Do not store diesel fuel in galvanized tanks. b. If it is necessary to store the fuel in drums, make sure they are free of WATER, GASOLINE AND SEDIMENT. Keep drums under cover, away from direct sunlight and rain. Keep plugs in place and tight. c. Once in place, avoid moving the tank or drum. d. Do not use the last few gallons of fuel from the storage tank, as it is likely to con- tain water and sediment. e. Handle the fuel as little as possible. AVOID USING CANS AND FUNNELS TO TRANSFER FUEL, AS THEY ARE DIFFICULT TO KEEP CLEAN. 3. Fill Tractor fuel tank at the end of each day's operation to prevent condensation. 4. Inspect the agglomerator bowl DAILY, before starting the engine. Drain and clean bowl, if water or sediment is present. IMPORTANT: IF THE AG G L 0 MER AT 0 R BOWL REQUIRES FREQUENT DRAINING, ADOPT BETTER METHODS OF STORING AND TRANSFERRING THE FUEL. WATER OR SEDIMENT WILL DAMAGE THE HIGHLY PRECISION INJECTION PUMP AND IN- JECTORS. 5. Replace the primary fuel filter and secondary filter at the recommended hourly inter- vals. DIRTY FUEL FILTERS WILL REDUCE POWER. Make sure to CAREFULLY CLEAN the outside of the filter before removing. USE ONLY GENUINE MF FILTER ELEMENTS. 6. If the injection pump, injectors, or the fuel system should require adjustment or servicing, CALL YOUR MASSEY-FERGUSON DEALER. He has the special training and tools re- quired to do the job properly. - iii - Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine

CONTROLS AND INSTRUMENTS The controls and instruments of your MF 135 Tractor have been located for maximum operator comfort and convenience. The controls and instruments vary slightly, according to the model of Tractor and how it is equipped. These differences will be indicated throughout the Manual. Fig. l - Controls CONTROLS Before operating your Tractor, study this section of the Operator's Manual, and become thoroughly acquainted with the Trac- tor controls and their particular functions. The controls vary according to how the Tractor is equipped, and these differences will be indicated throughout the Manual. Steering Wheel and Column (See Fig. 1) The height and angle of the steering wheel and column is positioned for maximum comfort to the operator when operating from the sitting position. Throttle Control Lever (See Fig. 1) Move the throttle control lever down to increase engine speed and up to decrease engine speed. Ignition Starter Switch (See Fig. 1) Diesel Models On diesel models, the switch is a starter - 1 - switch only. When the switch is turned to the right, the starter is engaged. After the engine has started, release starter switch and it will automatically return to the "off" position. When the key is removed from the switch, it is automatically locked. Gasoline Models On gasoline models, the switch is a combination ignition-starter switch. The switch has three positions: "Off", "Igni- tion" and "Start". Rotating the switch to the right to the "ignition" position activates the Tractor ignition system; further rotation of the switch to the right engages the starter. After the engine has started, release the switch and it will automatically return to the '' i g n it i on' ' po s i t i on. To stop the Tractor engine, rotate the switch to the "off" position.
