FEDERAL EMISSIONS WARRANTY
(North America Only)
(California owners emissions warranty is covered elsewhere)
New Holland warrants that your new 1996 and later heavy-duty off-road diesel engine was designed, built, and equipped to conform to
applicable U.S. Environmental Protection Agency regulations for a period of use of five years or 3,000 hours of operation, whichever occurs
first.
The new model year, class of diesel engine, and emission application determination for your engine are identified on the emission control
information label affixed to the top of your engines rocker arm cover. The warranty period begins on the date the new equipment is sold to the
first retail purchaser.
Any emission control system parts which are proven defective during normal use will be repaired or replaced during the warranty period. The
warranty repairs and service will be performed by any authorized New Holland dealer at the dealers place of business, with no charge for parts
or labor (including diagnosis).
As the engine owner, you are responsible to perform all the required maintenance listed in your owners manual. New Holland will not deny an
emission warranty claim solely because you have no record of maintenance; however, a claim may be denied if your failure to perform
maintenance resulted in the failure of a warranted part. Receipts covering regular maintenance should be retained in the event of questions
and these receipts should be passed on to each subsequent owner of the engine.
It is recommended replacement parts used for maintenance or repairs be New Holland Service Parts to maintain the quality originally
designed into your emission certified engine. The use of non-New Holland parts does not invalidate the warranty on other components unless
the use of such parts causes damage to warranted parts.
New Holland wishes to assure the emission control systems warranty is being properly administered. If you believe you have not received the
service entitled to under this warranty, you should contact the nearest New Holland Branch Office for assistance. The address and phone
number of each Branch Office is in your vehicle owners manual. If additional assistance or information is needed, contact:

Please note that the Emission Warranty does not cover:
1. Systems and parts that were not first installed on the new equipment or engine as original equipment by New Holland.
2. Part malfunctions caused by abuse, misuse, improper adjustment, modification, alteration, tampering, disconnection, improper or
inadequate maintenance, or use of non-recommended fuels and lubricating oils.
3. Accident caused damage, acts of nature, or other events beyond New Hollands control.
4. Replacement of expendable items made in connection with scheduled maintenance.
5. Parts requiring replacement, inspection or adjustment maintenance intervals for reasons other than being defective.

CALIFORNIA EMISSION CONTROL WARRANTY STATEMENT
(North America Only)
(California Only)
Your Warranty Rights and Obligations
The California Air Resources Board and New Holland are pleased to explain the emission control system warranty on your engine. In California,
new 1997 and later heavy-duty off-road engines from 100 to 150 HP must be designed, built, and equipped to meet the States stringent
anti-smog standards. New Holland must warrant the emission control system on your engine for the periods of time listed below, provided there
has been no abuse, neglect, or improper maintenance of your engine.
Your emission control system includes parts such as the fuel injection system and the air induction system.
Where a warrantable condition exists, New Holland will repair your heavy-duty off-road engine at no cost to you, including diagnosis, parts, and labor.
Manufacturers Warranty Coverage:
The 1997 and later heavy-duty off-road engines are warranted from the original date of delivery for five years or 3,000 hours of operation,
whichever occurs first. If any emission-related part on your engine is defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by New Holland.
Owners Warranty Responsibilities:
D As the heavy-duty off-road engine owner, you are responsible for the performance of the required maintenance listed in your owners
manual. New Holland recommends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on your heavy-duty off-road engine, but New
Holland cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure the performance of all scheduled maintenance.
D As the heavy-duty off-road engine owner, you should, however, be aware that New Holland may deny you warranty coverage if your
heavy-duty off-road engine or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance, or unapproved modifications.
D Your engine is designed to operate on commercially available diesel fuel only. Use of any other fuel may result in your engine no longer
operating in compliance with Californias emissions requirements.
D You are responsible for initiating the warranty process. The ARB suggests that you present your heavy-duty off-road engine to a New
Holland dealer as soon as a problem exists. The warranty repairs should be completed by the dealer as expeditiously as possible.
If you have questions regarding your warranty rights and responsibilities, you should contact your Branch Office at the address and phone
number listed on the Owner Assistance page of your equipments operator manual.
D Prior to the expiration of the warranty, you must give notice of any failure of an emission control warranted part. Such notice must be given
to New Holland or an authorized dealer, and you must deliver the engine to the repair location.
D You, the owner, are responsible for incidental costs incurred by yourself or your employees as a result of a warrantable failure. Examples
of such costs are communication expenses, meals and lodging.
D The owner is responsible for any business costs or losses, any downtime expenses and any cargo damage which result from the
failure of a warranted part. New Holland is not responsible for other incidental or consequential damages, including but not limited to fines,
theft, vandalism or collisions.
Parts covered:
This emission control system warranty applies to the following emission control parts.
Fuel Injection Pump
Fuel Injectors
Turbocharger
Intake Manifold
Exhaust Manifold
Boost Pressure Tubing-connection to Aneroid Device ON F.I.P.
Any replacement part, equivalent in performance and durability, may be used in the performance of any maintenance or repairs and must be
provided without charge to the owner. The use of these parts does not reduce the warranty obligations of New Holland. However, New Holland
recommends the use of new, genuine New Holland service parts or New Holland approved rebuilt parts and assemblies. New Holland also
recommends that the engine be serviced by a New Holland authorized dealer.
New Holland Responsibilities
Warranty work will be provided at no charge to the owner at any authorized dealer, using new genuine New Holland service parts or New
Holland approved rebuilt parts or assemblies..
The owner will not be charged for diagnostic labor which leads to the determination that a warranted part is defective, if the diagnostic work was
performed at a warranty station.
New Holland is liable for damages to other engine components caused by the failure under warranty of any warranted part.
Warranty Limitations
New Holland is not responsible for failures resulting from abuse or neglect by owner or operator.
New Holland warrants to the ultimate purchaser and each subsequent purchaser that the engine is designed, built, and equipped so as to
conform with all applicable regulations adopted by the Air Resources Board, and that it is free from defects in materials and workmanship which
cause the failure of a warranted part.
Any warranted part which is not scheduled for replacement as required maintenance, or which is scheduled only for regular inspection to the
effect of repair or replace as necessary is warranted for the warranty period.
Any warranted part which is scheduled for replacement as required maintenance is warranted for the period of time prior to the first scheduled
replacement point for that part.
New Holland is liable for damages to other engine components caused by the failure under warranty of any warranted part.

SAFETY
PRECAUTIONARY STATEMENTS
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 operating this equipment. Equipment should
be operated only by those who are responsible and instructed to do so.
Carefully review the procedures given in this manual with all operators. It is important that all operators be familiar
with and Follow safety precautions.
THE TRACTOR
1. Read the Operators Manual carefully before
using the tractor. Lack of operating knowledge
can lead to accidents.
2. Use an approved roll bar and seat belt for safe
operation. Overturning a tractor without a roll bar
can result in death or injury. If your tractor is not
equipped with a roll bar and seat belt, see your
New Holland Dealer.
3. Always use the seat belt. The only instance when
the seat belt should not be used is if the roll bar
has been removed from the tractor.
4. If a front end loader is to be installed, always use
a FOPS (Falling Object Protective Structure)
canopy to avoid injury from falling objects.
5. Use the handholds and step plates when getting
on and off the tractor to prevent falls. Keep steps
and platform cleared of mud and debris.
6. Do not permit anyone but the operator to ride on
the tractor. There is no safe place for extra riders.
7. Keep all safety decals clean of dirt and grime,
and replace all missing, illegible, or damaged
safety decals. See the list of decals in the Decal
section of this manual.
SERVICING THE TRACTOR
1. The cooling system operates under pressure
which is controlled by the radiator cap. It is
dangerous to remove the cap while the system is
hot. Always turn the cap slowly to the first stop
and allow pressure to escape before removing
the cap entirely.
2. Keep any type of open flame away from the
tractor and do not smoke while refueling. Wait for
the engine to cool before refueling.
3. Keep the tractor and equipment, particularly
brakes and steering, maintained in a reliable and
satisfactory condition to ensure your safety and
comply with legal requirements.
4. Keep open flame or cold weather starting aids
away from the battery to prevent fires or
explosions. Use jumper cables according to
instructions to prevent sparks which could cause
explosion.
5. Stop the engine before performing any service
on the tractor.
6. Escaping hydraulic/diesel fluid under pressure
can penetrate the skin causing serious injury. If
fluid is injected into the skin, obtain medical
attention immediately or gangrene may result.
• DO NOT use your hand to check for leaks.
Use a piece of cardboard or paper to search
for leaks.
• Stop the engine and relieve pressure before
connecting or disconnecting lines.
• Tighten all connections before starting the
engine or pressurizing lines.
7. Do not modify or permit anyone else to modify or
alter this tractor or any of its components or
functions without first consulting a New Holland
Dealer.

pressure and can penetrate the skin. Unqualified
persons should not remove or attempt to adjust
a pump, injector, nozzle, or any other part of the
fuel injection system. Failure to follow these
instructions can result in serious injury.
9. Continuous long-term contact with used engine
oil may cause skin cancer. Avoid prolonged
contact with used engine oil. Wash skin promptly
with soap and water.

10. Some components of your tractor, such as
gaskets and friction surfaces (brake linings,
clutch linings, etc.) may contain asbestos.
Breathing asbestos dust is dangerous to your
health. You are advised to have any mainte-
nance or repair on such components carried out
by an authorized New Holland Dealer. However,
if service operations are to be undertaken on
parts that contain asbestos, the essential
precautions listed below must be observed:
• Work out of doors or in a well ventilated area.
• Dust found on the tractor or produced during
work on the tractor should be removed by
extraction, not by blowing.
• Dust waste should be dampened, placed in
a sealed container, and marked to ensure
safe disposal.
• If any cutting, drilling, etc. is attempted on
materials containing asbestos, the item
should be dampened and only hand tools or
low speed power tools used.
OPERATING THE TRACTOR
1. Before starting the tractor, apply the parking
brake, place the PTO lever in the OFF position,
the lift control lever in the down position, the
remote control valve levers in the neutral
position, and the transmission in neutral.
2. Always sit in the tractor seat when starting the
engine or operating controls. Do not start the
engine or operate controls while standing beside
the tractor.
3. Do not bypass the neutral start switches. Consult
your New Holland Dealer if your neutral start
controls malfunction. Use jumper cables only in
the recommended manner. Improper use can
result in tractor runaway.
4. Avoid accidental contact with the gear shift lever
while the engine is running, as this can cause
unexpected tractor movement.
5. Before getting off the tractor, disengage the PTO,
turn the engine off, and apply the parking brake.
Never get off the tractor while it is in motion.
6. Do not park the tractor on a steep incline.
7. Do not operate the tractor engine in an enclosed
building without adequate ventilation. Exhaust
fumes can cause death or illness.
8. If the power steering or engine ceases operating,
stop the tractor immediately.
9. Pull only from the drawbar or the lower link
drawbar in the down position. Use only a drawbar
pin that locks in place. Pulling from the tractor
rear axle or any point above the axle may cause
the tractor to upset.
10. If the front end of the tractor tends to rise when
heavy implements are attached to the three-
point hitch, install front end or front wheel
weights. Do not operate the tractor with a light
front end.
11. Always set the hydraulic selector lever in position
control when attaching or transporting equip-
ment. Ensure hydraulic couplers are properly
mounted and will disconnect safely in case of
accidental detachment of implement.
12. Do not leave equipment in the raised position.
13. Use the flasher/turn signal lights and SMV signs
when traveling on public roads both day and
night (unless prohibited by law).
14. When operating at night, adjust lights to prevent
blinding oncoming drivers.
DRIVING THE TRACTOR
1. Watch where you are going, especially at row
ends, on roads, around trees and low hanging
obstacles.
2. To avoid upsets, drive the tractor with care and at
a safe speed. Use extra caution when operating
over rough ground, when crossing ditches or
slopes, and when turning corners.
3. To provide two-wheel braking, lock tractor brake
pedals together when transporting on roads.
4. Do not coast or free wheel down hills. Use the
same gear when going downhill as is used when
going uphill.
5. Any towed vehicle with a total weight exceeding
that of the towing tractor should be equipped with
brakes for safe operation.
6. If the tractor becomes stuck or the tires become
frozen to the ground, back up the tractor to
prevent upset.
7. Always check overhead clearance, especially
when transporting the tractor.
8. When operating at night, adjust lights to prevent
blinding oncoming drivers.

OPERATING THE PTO
1. When operating PTO driven equipment, shut off
the engine and wait until the PTO stops before
getting off the tractor and disconnecting the
equipment.
2. Do not wear loose clothing when operating the
power take-off or when near rotating equipment.
3. When operating stationary PTO driven equip-
ment, always place both gear shift levers in
neutral, apply the tractor parking brake, and
block the rear wheels front and back.
4. To avoid injury, do not clean, adjust, unclog, or
service PTO driven equipment when the tractor
engine is running.
5. Ensure the PTO master shield is installed at all
times. Always replace the PTO shield cap when
the PTO is not in use.
DIESEL FUEL
1. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES should gaso-
line, alcohol, or blended fuels be added to diesel
fuel. These combinations can create an
increased fire or explosive hazard. Such blends
are more explosive than pure gasoline in a
closed container such as a fuel tank. DO NOT
USE THESE BLENDS.
2. Never remove the fuel cap or refuel with the
engine running or hot.
3. Do not smoke while refueling or when standing
near fuel.
4. Maintain control of the fuel filler pipe nozzle when
filling the tank.
5. Do not fill the fuel tank to capacity. Allow room for
expansion.
6. Wipe up spilled fuel immediately.
7. Always tighten the fuel tank cap securely.
8. If the original fuel tank cap is lost, replace it with
a New Holland approved cap. A non-approved,
proprietary cap may not be safe.
9. Keep equipment clean and properly maintained.
10. Do not drive equipment near open fires.
11. Never use fuel for cleaning purposes.
12. Arrange fuel purchases so that winter grade fuels
are not held over and used in the spring.
SAFETY FRAME (ROPS)
Your New Holland tractor is equipped with a safety
frame. It must be maintained in a serviceable
condition. Be careful when driving through doorways
or working in confined spaces with low headroom.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES should you:
• modify, drill, or alter the safety frame in any way.
Doing so may render you liable to legal prosecu-
tion.
• attempt to straighten or weld any part of the main
frame or retaining brackets which have suffered
damage. Doing so may weaken the structure and
endanger your safety.
• secure any parts on the main frame or attach
your safety frame with anything other than the
special high tensile bolts and nuts specified.
• attach chains or ropes to the main frame for pull-
ing purposes.
• take unnecessary risks even though your safety
frame affords you the maximum protection pos-
sible.
