) TO THE OWNER GENERAL This Manual has been prepared to assist you in the correct procedure for running-in, driving and operating and for the maintenance your new tractor. Your tractor, which was designed to power and propel it- self, is intended for use in normal and customary agricultural applications. Read this Manual carefully and keep it in a convenient place for future reference. If at any time you require advice concerning your tractor, do not hesitate to contact your authorised 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 periormance, 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 3 of this Manual, are carried out at the recommended intervals. CLEANING YOUR TRACTOR Your tractor is a state-of-the-art machine with sophis- ticated, electronic 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 electronic components and connections, the pressure generated by some of these machines is such that complete protection against water ingress cannot be guaranteed. • 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. 0-5 SAFETY The following pages 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. FIRST 50 HOUR SERVICE At the back of this Manual Oust before the index) 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 periorm the factory recommended 50 hour service and complete the service report sheets. The first sheet is the dealer's copy and should be removed by the dealer after the service has been carried out. The second sheet is your copy of the service periormed. 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 instal- lation 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 Com- pany is not liable for any damage caused by the use of 'non-genuine' parts and accessories. 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 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 tile Operator's Manual.

0-1 IIEWHOLLAM> New Holland U,K. LImited C€ 0-2 0-3 0-6 The tractor and major components are identified using serial numbers and/or manufacturing codes. Tractor identification data must be supplied to the dealer when requesting parts or service and will also be needed to aid in identifying the tractor if it is ever stolen. The following provides the locations of the identification data. Vehicle Identification Plate - Figures 0-1 and 0-2 The vehicle identification plate is located on the un- derside of the hood, as shown in (1) Figure 0-1.

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 un- derstand the relative legislation applicable to your country. • Where no leglislation exists, obtain information from suppliers of oils, filters, batteries, fuels, antifreeze, cleaning agents, etc., with regard to their ef- fect on man and nature and how to safely store, use and dispose of these substances. Agricultural consul- tants will, in many cases, be able to help you as well. HELPFUL HINTS 1. Avoid filling tanks using jerrycans or inappropri- ate pressurised fuel delivery systems which may cause conSiderable spillage. 1. In general, avoid skin contact with all fuels, oils, acids, solvents, etc. Most of them contain substances which can be harmful to your health. 3. Modern oils contain additives. Do not burn con- taminated fuels and/or waste oils in ordinary heating systems. 0-7 4. Avoid spillage when draining off used engine coolant mixtures, engine, gearbox and hydraulic oils, brake fluids, etc. Do not mix drained brake fluids or fuels with lubricants. Store them safely until they can be disposed of in a proper way to comply with local legislation and available resources. 5. Modern coolant mixtures, I.e. antifreeze and other additives, should be replaced every two years. They should not be allowed to get into the soil but should be collected and disposed of safely. 6. Do not open the air-conditioning system yourself. It contains gases which should not be released into the atmosphere. Your dealer or air conditioning speCialist has a special extractor for this purpose and will have to recharge the system anyway. 7. Repair any leaks or defects in the engine cooling or hydraulic system immediately. 8. Do not increase the pressure in a pressurised cir- cuit as this may lead to the components exploding. 9. Protect hoses during welding as penetrating weld splatter may burn a hole or weaken them, causing the loss of oils, coolant, etc. A careful operator is the best operator. Most accidents can be avoided by observing certain precautions. To help prevent accidents, read and take the following precautions before driving, operating or servicing the tractor. Equipment should be operated only by those who are responsible and instructed to do so.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS PRECAUTIONARY STATEMENTS Throughout this Manual you will see text in italics, pre- ceded by the words NOTE, ATTENTION, IMPOR- TANT CAUTION, WARNING or DANGER. Such text has the following significance: Machine Safety NOTE: This text stresses a correct operating tech- nique or procedure. ATTENTION: This text warns the operator of potential machine damage if a certain procedure is not followed. IMPORTANT: This text informs the reader of some- thing that he needs to know to prevent minor machine damage if a certain procedure is not followed. Personal Safety A CAUTION: The word CAUTION is used where a safe behavioural practice, according to operating and maintenance instructions and common safety practices will protect the operator and others from accident involvement. A WARNING: The word WARNING denotes a potential or hidden hazard which could possi- bly cause serious injury. It is used to warn operators and others to exercise due care and attention to avoid a surprise accident with machinery. A DANGER: The word DANGER denotes a for- bidden practice in connection with a serious hazard. 0-8 Failure to follow the CAUTION, WARNING and DAN- GER instructions may result in serious bodily inury or even death. THE TRACTOR 1. Read the Operator's Manual carefully before using the tractor. Lack of operating knowledge can lead to accidents. 2. Only allow properly trained and qualified persons to operate the tractor. 2. To prevent falls, use the handrails and step plates when getting on and off the tractor. Keep steps and platform clear of mud and debris. 4. Replace all missing, illegible or damaged safety decals. 5. Keep safety decals free of dirt or grime. 6. Do not permit anyone but the operator to ride on the tractor unless a passenger seat is fitted. There is no safe place for extra passengers otherwise. 7. Keep children away from the tractor and farm machinery at all times. 8. 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 your dealer. 9. Install all guards before starting the engine or operating the tractor.

DRIVING THE TRACTOR 1. Always sit in the driver's seat while starting or driving the tractor. 2. When driving on public roads, have consideration for other road users. Pull in to the side of the road oc- casionally to allow any following traffic to pass. Do not exceed the legal speed limit set in your country for agricultural tractors. 3. Use a rotating beacon when driving on public roads to indicate that the vehicle is slow moving and is a possible hazard. 4. Dip the tractor lights when meeting a vehicle at night. Make sure the lights are adjusted to prevent blinding the driver of an oncoming vehicle. 5. Reduce speed before turning or applying the brakes. Ensure that both brake pedals are locked together when travelling at road speeds or when on public roads. Brake both wheels simultaneously when making an emergency stop. 6. On four wheel drive tractors, the drive to the front axle is automatically engaged, to provide four wheel braking, when both footbrakes are applied. Owners should be aware of the effectiveness of four wheel braking which greatly enhances braking performance. Appropriate care should be exercised during fierce braking. 7. Use extreme caution and avoid hard application of the tractor brakes when towing heavy loads at road speeds. 8. Keep the tractor in the same gear when going downhill as would be used when going uphill. Do not coast or freewheel down hills. 9. Any towed vehicle whose total weight exceeds that of the towing tractor must be equipped with brakes for safe operation. 10. Never apply the differential lock when turning. When engaged, the differential lock will prevent the tractor frorn turning. 0-9 11. Always check overhead clearance, especially when transporting the tractor. Watch where you are going, especially at row ends, on roads and around trees and low overhanging obstacles. 12. To avoid overturns, drive the tractor with care and at speeds compatible with safety, especially when operating over rough ground, when crossing ditches or slopes and when turning corners. 13. Use extreme caution when operating on steep slopes. 14. If the tractor becomes stuck or the tires are frozen to the ground, reverse the tractor out to prevent over- turning. OPERATING THE TRACTOR 1. Apply the parking brake, place the P.T.O. control in the 'OFF' position, the lift control lever in the down position, the remote control valve levers in the neutral position and the transmission levers in neutral before starting the tractor. 2. Do not start the engine or operate controls (other than the external hydraulic lift switches) while stand- ing beside the tractor. Always sit in the tractor seat when starting the engine or operating the controls. 3. Do not bypass the transmission and P.T.O. neutral start switches. Consult your authorised dealer if your neutral start controls malfunction. Use jump leads only in the recommended manner. Improper use can result in a tractor runaway. 4. Avoid accidental contact with the gear shift levers while the engine is running. Unexpected tractor movement can result from such contact. 5. Do not get off the tractor while it is in motion. 6. If the power steering or engine ceases operating, stop the tractor immediately as the tractorwill be more difficult to control.
