7 2 Introduction, warranty and safety notes Chapter 2 Introduction, warranty and safety notes

8 Introduction and warranty Compliance with, and strict adherence to, the conditions of operation, service and repair as specified by the manufacturer also constitute essential elements for the intended use. These tractors should be operated, serviced and repaired only by persons familiar with all their particular characteristics and who are acquainted with the relevant safety rules (accident prevention). Customers are strongly advised to use an official authorized Dealer in connection with any service problems and adjustments that may occur. WARRANTY, PRE-DELIVERY and INSTALLATION The Company, when selling new goods to their Dealers, gives a warranty which, subject to certain conditions, guarantees that the goods are free from defects in material and workmanship. Since this book is published for worldwide circulation, it is impossible to detail the exact terms and conditions of warranty that apply to a retail customer in any particular country. Purchasers of new equipment should request full details from their supplying Dealer. In accordance with the Company policy of continuous improvement to its machines, alterations in the specifications of machines may be made at any time without notice. The Company accepts no responsibility for discrepancies which may occur between the specifications of its machines and the descriptions thereof contained in its publications. A Dealer is required to carry out certain activities when supplying a new tractor. These consist of a full pre-delivery inspection to ensure that the tractor supplied is ready for immediate use, and full instruction in the basic principles of operation and maintenance of the tractor. These instructions will cover instruments and controls, routine maintenance and safety precautions. All persons who will be concerned with the operation and maintenance of the machine should be present for these instructions. NOTE: The tractor manufacturer will not accept responsibility for any claim resulting from the fitment of non-approved parts or attachments, or unauthorized modification or alteration. INTRODUCTION NOTE: This book is published for worldwide distribution, and the availability of equipment shown either as basic or accessory may vary according to the territory in which the tractor is to be operated. Full details of equipment available in your area can be obtained from your Dealer. The purpose of this book is to enable the owner and driver to operate the tractor in a safe manner. Providing that the instructions are followed carefully, the tractor will give years of service in our tradition. The installation of the product by the Dealer gives the opportunity to ensure that these operating and maintenance instructions are understood. Always consult your Dealer if you do not understand any part of this book. It is important that these instructions are understood and observed. Daily maintenance should become a routine, and a record of hours in service should be kept. When new parts are required it is important that only genuine service parts are used. Our authorized Dealers supply genuine parts and can give advice regarding their fitment and use. Extensive damage may occur as a result of the fitment of parts of inferior quality. Customers are advised to buy their service parts only from an authorized Dealer. Owing to wide variations in operating conditions, it is impossible for the Company to make comprehensive or definitive statements in its publications regarding performance or methods of use of its machines, or to accept liability for any loss or damage which may result from these statements, or from any errors or omissions. If the tractor is to be used for abnormal conditions which may be detrimental (e.g. deep water or paddy fields) consult your Dealer for special instructions, or the warranty may be invalidated. These tractors are designed solely for use in customary agricultural operations (intended use). Use in any other way is considered as contrary to the intended use. The tractor manufacturer accepts no liability for any damage or injury resulting from misuse and these risks must be borne solely by the user.

9 2 Introduction and warranty SERVICE AFTER WARRANTY During the warranty period, you should have all your repairs and maintenance performed by your Dealer. This ensures that a detailed check is kept on the progress and performance of your new tractor. In order to obtain the best results from your tractor, it is important that regular maintenance and service checks continue after the warranty period has expired. Make use of your local Dealer for all major tractor services; a trained engineer will spot any problems between one service and the next. The mechanics are regularly trained and updated on the product, servicing techniques and the use of modern service tools and diagnostic equipment. They receive regular Service Bulletins, have all Workshop Manuals and other such technical information to ensure that the repair or service is to the standard required. SAFETY The safety of the operator is one of the main concerns in designing and developing a new tractor. Designers build in as many safety features as possible. However, every year many accidents occur which could have been avoided by a few seconds thought and a more careful approach to handling farm machinery and implements. Read and implement the safety instructions detailed in the next section of this book. WARNING: In some of the illustrations used in this Operator Instruction Book, panels or guards may have been removed for clarity. Never operate the tractor whitout these components in position. If the removal of panels or guards is necessary to make a repair, they MUST be replaced before operation. WARRANTY PROCEDURE Correct installation, coupled with regular maintenance, will do much to prevent breakdowns. If, however, operating trouble is experienced during the warranty period, the following procedure must be adopted:- Immediately notify the Dealer from whom you purchased the tractor, quoting the Model and Serial Number. It is most important that there should be no delay, and you should realise that, even where the original failure is covered by warranty, if the failure is not repaired immediately, warranty cover may not apply. Provide your Dealer with as much background information as you can. It will help him to know how many hours service has been achieved, the type of work on which you are engaged and the symptoms of the trouble. It should be noted that normal maintenance services such as tuning, brake/clutch adjustments, and the supply of materials used to service the tractor (oil, filters, fuel and antifreeze) are not covered by terms of the warranty. PARTS WARNING The fitment of non genuine parts may result in a part of substandard quality being used. The tractor manufacturer will not take the responsibility for any loss, damage or liability resulting from the fitment of such parts, and, if fitted during the normal warranty period the manufacturer's guarantee may be invalidated. IF YOU MOVE Only the official Dealer from whom you purchased the tractor is responsible for the protection afforded by your warranty and, where possible, you should always take the tractor to him for repair. If, however, you move to another area or if your tractor should be working temporarily at some distance from the Dealer from whom it was purchased, you are recommended to obtain from the original Dealer the name and address of the Dealer nearest to your new location and to ask for arrangements to be made for outstanding service warranty commitments to be transferred to the latter. If you have left the area in which the original Dealer operates and have not made arrangements with your new Dealer, the latter will readily provide assistance in an emergency but you will be charged at normal rates for any work undertaken unless: a. You make it clear that the warranty has not expired, and b. You give the repairing Dealer the opportunity to make suitable arrangements with the retailing Dealer.
