SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Safety and accident prevention regulations
WARNING:
Before every operation, check the tractor for road worthiness and operational safety.
Carefully read the Manual and observe all safety instructions.
Safety signs on the machine must be replaced if damaged or lost.
General safety and accident
prevention regulations
Text-module
1.Follow the general safety and accident
prevention regulations, as well as the safety
information in this manual.
2.When driving on public roads, follow the usual
traffic regulations!
3.Before starting work, familiarise yourself with
all operating controls and their functions. Don't
wait until after you have started working!
4.Start the engine from the driver seat only. Do
not attempt to start by shorting across the
starter terminals, as this can cause the tractor
to move immediately!
5.Before starting up, check the area is clear (e.g.
children). Ensure that nothing obstructs vision.
6.Never leave the engine running in a confined
space!
7.The driver should wear close-fitting clothing.
Avoid wearing loose-fitting garments!
8.Take extra care when handling fuel - serious
fire hazard. Never re-fuel in the presence of
sparks or naked flames. Do not smoke when
re-fuelling.
9.Before re-fuelling, turn off the engine and
remove the ignition key. Do not re-fuel in
confined spaces. Clean up spillages
immediately!
10.To avoid fire hazard, keep the tractor clean.
11.Beware of leaking brake fluid and battery
acid (these are toxic and corrosive).
ETNum-list
Carrying passengers
Text-module
1.Passenger should be carried only if the tractor
is fitted with an appropriate passenger seat.
2.Do not carry passengers in any other other
circumstances.
ETNum-list
Driving the tractor
Text-module
1.Driving speed must always be adapted to the
current situation. Avoid sudden cornering
when driving uphill or downhill, or across
gradients. Disengage the differential lock
when cornering. Never disengage the clutch to
shift gears when travelling downhill!
2.Make sure all trailers and implements are
properly hitched. Driving characteristics,
steering and braking are affected by mounted
implements, trailers and ballast weight.
Therefore, always ensure that there is
adequate steering and braking capacity.
3.Observe the maximum permissible gross
vehicle weight, axle loads and tyre load
capacity, especially if heavy implements are
attached.
4.When negotiating bends with implements
connected or hitched up, always allow for the
overhang and oscillating weight of the
implement.
ETNum-list
Front loader operation
Text-module
1.Never allow anyone to stand in the hazard
area, or within the working range of the front
loader. Keep the area clear of bystanders at all
times. Do not operate the front loader unless
there is a clear view of the entire working area
- illuminate the area if necessary.
2.It is not permitted to use the standard loader
(as supplied) as a working platform. If using
the loader with a special working platform,
additional safety measures are required.
3.Do not handle round bales, pallets etc. unless
the loader is suitably equipped for this
purpose. If loading objects that cannot be
secured and may fall off, do not use the front
loader unless the driving seat is protected by a
robust canopy.
9
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
4.When the front loader is raised, the risk of the
tractor tipping over is greater, and the braking
effect at the rear axle may also be reduced.
Adapt your driving style and ensure adequate
ballasting at the rear. For additional loading,
we recommend attaching the Fendt 870 kg
additional weight at the three-point link - fit
wheel weights and fill the tyres if necessary.
5.Keep a safe distance from high-voltage
cables.
6.When on public roads, bring the front loader
into the transport position and secure it. Keep
a maximum distance of 3.5 m between the
implement and the centre of the steering
wheel. If the forward projection exceeds 3.5 m,
appropriate measures must be taken to
guarantee safe traffic conditions (e.g. use
people on foot acting as guides or mirrors at
road junctions). Transporting equipment or
materials with a front loader working
implement, e.g. a scoop, is not permitted when
travelling on public roads.
7.Danger from unintended lowering of the front
loader. Always secure hydraulic lever at the
end of operation. Before leaving the tractor,
completely lower the front loader to the
ground.
8.For safety reasons the front loader should be
mounted and removed by one person only , the
driver himself.
9.Always keep hands away from the crushing
and cutting areas while parts may still be
moving.
10.Detach the front loader with the attached
implement (bucket, fork) only on firm and
level ground. Always use the supports
provided.
1 1.The front loader must be parked and secured
in such a way as to prevent unauthorised
persons or children from causing it to tip over .
12.When mounting the front loader, connect all
hydraulic connections including the auxiliary
return, if equipped in this way. Always
connect hydraulic hose for cylinder load
pressure to +. Take great care not to confuse
connections since this may cause accidents
through reversed functions, e.g. lifting
instead of lowering. Before fitting the multiple
coupler, remove the load from hydraulic
hoses and unplug rear hydraulic
connections, lower the power lift and operate
only via EPC. Hydraulic fluid interflow can
create danger from unintentional equipment
motion.
ETNum-list
Leaving the tractor
Text-module
1.Make sure the tractor is properly secured
against running off (parking brake, wheel
chocks). Switch off the engine and apply the
hand brake!
2.Remove the ignition key and lock the cab if
necessary.
3.Never leave the tractor unattended while the
engine is running.
4.Never leave the cab while the tractor is in
motion.
5.Completely lower the mounted implement
before leaving the tractor.
ETNum-list
Mounted and trailing equipment
Text-module
1.Only attach implements and trailers using the
prescribed devices.
2.Use only trailers which comply with the
country-specific regulations. Do not exceed
maximum vertical bearing load. Ensure that
the tractor-trailer brake system is functioning
correctly.
3.Take special care when hitching trailers or
implements!
4.Secure trailers and implements to prevent
them rolling. Make sure that detached
implements and components are safely
parked.
5.Be sure all protection devices are correctly
attached and in the safety position before
operating the tractor.
6.When using the power lift, always remain well
outside the travel range of the three-point link
attachment!
ETNum-list
PTO operation
Text-module
1.Always switch off the engine, before fitting or
removing the drive shaft. The PTO shaft must
be in 0-position.
2.During PTO operations, allow no-one in the
vicinity of the rotating PTO or drive shaft.
3.Make sure drive shaft and PTO are equipped
with protective guards and sleeves.
4.After switching off the PTO, the attached
implement may continue running due to the
flywheel mass. In this case, do not go near the
implement. Approach it only when it has come
to a complete standstill.
5.When the drive shaft is removed, cover the
PTO shaft with its protective cap.
10
ETNum-list
Maintenance
Text-module
1.Before maintenance and repair work, switch
off the engine and remove the ignition key.
Relieve pressure from implement lines, e.g. to
the front loader.
2.Any person should keep clear of a lifted,
unsecured load (e.g. tilted cab and similar).
3.Never open or remove any protection devices
while the engine is running.
4.Never grasp leaking pressure lines.
Pressurised fluids (diesel or hydr . oil) escaping
under high pressure can penetrate the skin
and cause severe injuries. If this has occurred,
seek medical advice at once to avoid the risk
of serious infection.
5.Keep at a safe distance from hot areas.
6.Hydraulic accumulator and connected pipes
are highly pressurised. Only remove and
repair in accordance with instructions provided
in Technical Manual.
7.To avoid eye injury, do not look directly at the
surface of the activated radar sensor.
8.Dispose of oil, fuels and filters properly!
9.For fitting tires, specialist knowledge and
special mounting tools are required.
10.Run the tractor for a short time, then
retighten all wheel nuts and bolts; check
them regularly. For correct torque values
refer to TECHNICAL DATA.
11.Before working on the electrical system,
always remove the ground strap from the
battery . Observe the following, when carrying
out electric welding. When carrying out
electric welding on tractor or mounted
implements, make sure that both battery
terminals are disconnected. Attach the
ground terminal as close as possible to the
welding point.
12.Spare parts must at least meet the technical
requirements stated by the manufacturer.
You can ensure that this is the case by using
genuine spare parts!
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Text-module
Advice for front loader maintenance:
1.Before undertaking maintenance work, lower
the front loader to the ground, switch off the
engine and remove the ignition key.
2.If the pipe fracture protection has engaged,
support the load before starting repairs, and
slowly retract the cylinder.
3.Hydraulic hoses deteriorate with age. Check
the condition of hydraulic hoses at regular
intervals, and replace them in good time.
4.After attachment and repair operations, drive
the tractor for a short time then retighten all
mounting screws and nuts and check them
regularly.
5.Retighten eccentric bolt for front loader

by controlling them directly from the tractor, rather than through an additional control unit on the
implement. The working speed of each consumer can be set individually.
Text-module
NOTE:
It is easier to disconnect a pressurised connector from the implement by switching the
corresponding control unit to floating position.

OPERATION
Use the 28 bar position for implements with long
hoses, for load sensing signal / or external
pressure supply (for example with manure vat).
NOTE:
In the 28 bar position, there are higher hydraulic losses, which cause the oil to heat up.

Transport with vibration damping
After raising the implement with the Quick Lift
switch, vibrations due to uneven road surfaces
are reduced by small movements of the power
lift, thus preventing jerking of the tractor . This reduces the mechanical load on tractor and implement, while improving the steerability.
Vibration damping switches on at a speed of
about 8 km/h.
The switch-on speed can be changed to any other value.
NOTE:
Vibration damping is only operative if the
safety lock is released with the Quick Lift
switch in the transport position.

Make sure trailer is correctly attached. Check that the trailer brake system is
functioning. Follow the trailer manufacturers instructions!
Carry out regular checks to ensure the trailer hitch is in perfect condition, especially
when subjected to heavy loads.
The coupler is a design-approved component and may be used only for its designated
purpose.
Use only correct drawbar coupling-pin combinations. Use only the bolts provided.
When converting to a mechanical or automatic coupling, ensure that the coupling
cannot slip out of the guide rails unintentionally, by fitting a locking screw into the
bottom hole.
We reserve the right to make technical modifications. The details on the rating plate
