2 . INTRODUCTION - SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND WARRANTY

2.1 - INTRODUCTION

The Safety chapter in the Operator Instruction Book stress­es certain basic safety-related situations which may be en­countered during the operation and normal servicing of the
tractor and gives the information needed to cope with
these situations. This chapter SUPPLEMENTS any safety
instructions given in other chapters of this book.

It may be necessary to take additional precautions depend­ing on the equipment used and the working conditions on
the site or in the servicing area. AGCO can under no cir­cumstances exercise direct control over the commission­ing, operation, inspection, lubrication or servicing of the
tractor. It is therefore YOUR responsibility to take suitable
safety measures in such areas.

NOTE: This book is published and distributed world­wide and the availability of the equipment indicated,
whether on the basic tractor or as accessories, may
vary according to the country in which the tractor is
used. To find out which equipment is available in a
given region, contact an AGCO dealer.

The purpose of this book is to allow the owner and the op­erator to run the tractor safely. Providing they follow the in­structions carefully, the tractor will operate for many years
in the AGCO tradition.

Commissioning the equipment at the user’s by the dealer
provides the possibility of ensuring that these operating
and servicing instructions are properly understood. Always
consult the dealer if any part of this book is not understood.
It is important for these instructions to be understood and
followed.

Daily maintenance should become a routine and a log book
of operating hours should be kept.
When new spare parts are required, it is important to use
AGCO original spare parts only. AGCO dealers supply only
genuine original parts and can give advice concerning their
fitting and use.
The use of parts of lower quality may cause serious dam­age. Customers are advised to only purchase their spare
parts from an approved AGCO dealer.
Due to the considerable differences in operating condi­tions, it is not possible for the manufacturer to formulate
complete or absolute assertions in its publications concern­ing the performance or operating methods of its machines
or accept liability for any loss or damage which may result
from such assertions or possible errors or omissions.
To prevent the warranty becoming void, you should consult
your AGCO dealer to obtain special instructions if the trac­tor is to be used under abnormal conditions which could be
detrimental to it (use in deep water or in paddy fields for in­stance).
These tractors are only designed for usual farming purpos­es (designed use).
Any other use is considered as being contrary to the de­signed use. AGCO declines all liability in cases of physical
damage or injuries resulting from improper use the conse­quences of which shall be borne by the user alone.
The conformity and strict adherence to the operating, serv­icing and repair requirements specified by AGCO are also
essential factors for designed use.

These tractors must only be used, serviced and repaired by
personnel having full knowledge of their specific features
and who are aware of the applicable safety rules (preven­tion of accidents).

Customers are strongly recommended to contact an AGCO
dealer in the event of after-sale problems and for any ad­justments which may be necessary.

2.1.1 - Pre-delivery inspection, commissioning at the user’s premises and warranty

When selling new products to their dealers, the manufac­turer 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 worldwide,
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 AGCO equipment should request full
details from their supplying Dealer.

In accordance with the Corporation's policy of continuous
improvement to its products, alterations in the specifica­tions of machines may be made at any time without notice.
The Corporation disclaims all liability for discrepancies
which may occur between the specifications of its prod­ucts and the descriptions thereof contained in its publica­tions.

A Dealer is required to carry out certain activities when sup­plying a new AGCO tractor. These consist of a full pre-de­livery inspection to ensure that the tractor supplied is ready
for immediate use, and full instructions to the user in the
basic principles of operation and servicing of the tractor.
These instructions will cover instruments and controls, and
routine servicing and safety precautions. All persons who
will be concerned with the operation and servicing of the
tractor should be present for these instructions.

NOTE: AGCO disclaims all liability to any claim result­ing from the fitting of non-approved parts, accessories,
implements or equipment or unauthorised modifica­tion or alteration.

2 . INTRODUCTION - SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND WARRANTY

2.1.2 - Warranty procedure

Correct commissioning at the user’s premises and routine
servicing contribute to preventing breakdowns. However,
if operating problems do occur during the warranty period,
follow this procedure:
Immediately inform the dealer you purchased the tractor
from, indicating the model and serial number. It is very im­portant not to wait and it should be realised that, even if the
defect is covered by the original warranty, the risk cover­age may no long apply if the repair is not carried out imme­diately.
Provide the dealer with as much information as possible.
The dealer will need to know how many hours the tractor
has been in service, what type of work it is used for and the
symptoms of the problem.
It should be noted that routine servicing operations such as
tuning, brake and clutch adjustment, and the supplies used
for the tractor servicing (oil, filters, fuel and antifreeze) are
not covered by the warranty.

Warning concerning spare parts

Parts other than AGCO parts are likely to be of lower qual­ity. AGCO disclaims all liability in the event of loss or dam­age arising as a result of such parts being fitted. The
manufacturer’s warranty may also become void, if such
parts are fitted during the normal warranty period.

2.1.4 - Servicing after the warranty period

During the warranty period, all maintenance and repair
work must be carried out by the AGCO dealer who will
carefully carry out detailed checks of the progress and per­formance of the new tractor.
To obtain best results from an AGCO tractor, it is important
to continue regular servicing and periodic inspection after
the warranty has expired. All major overhaul work on the
tractor must be carried out by a local AGCO dealer; an ex­perienced technician will detect any problems which may
arise between two overhauls.
Mechanical staff regularly follow training courses to update
their knowledge of the product, maintenance and repair
techniques and the use of special modern tools and equip­ment for troubleshooting. They receive regular Service Bul­letins and have access to all the workshop manuals and
technical publications required to carry out repairs or main­tenance meeting the quality standards required by AGCO.

2.1.3 - Using the tractor in another region

Only the AGCO dealer from whom the tractor was pur­chased is liable for the protection provided by the warranty.
Any repairs required should always, wherever possible, be
carried out by this dealer. If, however, the owner moves to
another region or if the tractor is to be used temporarily a
long way from the dealer it was bought from, it is recom­mended to ask this dealer for the name and address of the
AGCO dealer nearest the customer’s new address and ar­range to have the obligations remaining to be fulfilled under
the warranty transferred to this dealer.

If the customer leaves the region covered by the original
dealer without having taken these steps, the new dealer
will offer its services if need be, but may bill them at the
normal rate unless:

• the user has effectively specified that the warranty
period has not expired and,

• the repair dealer has been given the possibility of taking
the necessary steps with the selling dealer.

2 . INTRODUCTION - SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND WARRANTY

2.2 - SAFETY - ALERT SYMBOLS AND

TERMS

This Safety Alert Symbol means CAUTION!
BE ALERT! YOUR SAFETY DEPENDS ON IT!

SAFETY is essential! Why?

• ACCIDENTS DISABLE AND KILL

• ACCIDENTS ARE COSTLY

• ACCIDENTS CAN BE AVOIDED

2.3 - TRACTOR AND IMPLEMENTS

The tractor is a source of power - Mechanical - Hydraulic

• On its own, the tractor is of little practical value. Only
when used in conjunction with an implement or other
attachment does it become a working unit.

• This Operator Instruction Book is compiled to cover the
safe working practices when the tractor runs under nor­mal conditions.

• It does not cover all operation and safety instructions
relevant to all known implements and attachments that
may be fitted at the time of tractor delivery or later.

• It is essential that operators use and understand the rel­evant instruction books of such implements and attach­ments.

The safety alert symbol identifies important
safety messages on machines, safety signs, in
manuals, or elsewhere. When you see this
symbol, be alert to the risk of personal injury or
death. Follow the instructions in the safety
message.

study the usual protective measures taken when working
and in particular -

REMEMBER THAT SAFETY DEPENDS ON YOU. YOU
CAN PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

2.6 - DANGER, WARNING AND CAUTION

Whenever you see the words and symbols shown below,
used in this book and on decals, you MUST apply their in­structions as they relate to personal safety.

DANGER: This signal, displayed with the
word DANGER, indicates an imminently haz­ardous situation that, if not avoided, may
result in DEATH OR VERY SERIOUS INJURY.

WARNING: This signal, displayed with the
word WARNING, indicates a potentially haz­ardous situation that, if not avoided, may
result in DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.

IMPORTANT: Indicates a special instruction or proce­dure that, if not strictly observed may cause damage to,
or destruction of the machine, the process, or the sur­roundings.

NOTE: The word NOTE indicates additional information
about a subject or procedure for more efficient or con­venient operation or repair.

2.7 - DECALS

If a used tractor has been purchased, refer to the illustra­tions at the end of this book to ensure that all the safety
signs are in the correct position and are readable.

2.8 - SAFETY PROCEDURE TO FOLLOW

2.8.1 - For proper operation

For proper operation of an agricultural tractor, you must be
a qualified and approved operator. To be qualified you must
understand the written instructions supplied in this manual,
have training, and know the safety rules and regulations for

• DO NOT SERVICE the tractor while the engine is run­ning or hot, or if the tractor is in motion (Fig. 7).

2.12 - STARTING

2.12.1 - Warn personnel before starting

Before starting, walk completely around the tractor and any
attached equipment. Make sure that no one is under it, on
it, or close to it. Tell other workers or people nearby that the
tractor is about to start. Do not start the tractor while there
are people near the tractor, tools or trailed implements.
Ensure that all bystanders, particularly children, are a suita­ble distance away before starting the engine.

2.12.2 - Get on and off the tractor safely

Always use "three point contact" with the machine, and
face the machine when you get on it. (Three point contact
means both hands and one foot or one hand and both feet
are in contact with the machine at all times when getting
on and off).

Clean your shoes and wipe your hands before getting on.
Use handrails, grab handles, ladders or footsteps (as pro­vided) when getting on and off.

DO NOT use control levers as a hand hold and never step
on pedals when getting on and off.

DO NOT attempt to get on or off a moving tractor. DO NOT
JUMP off a tractor other than in an emergency.

Z2-534-05-03

Fig. 7

• Before making adjustments to or servicing the electrical
system, disconnect the battery cables, negative (-) cable
first.

• To prevent fires or explosions keep open flame away
from the battery or cold weather starting aids. To pre­vent sparks which could cause explosions use jumper
cables according to instructions.

• When making repairs or adjustments it is recommended
that you consult your AGCO Dealer, and have the work
carried out by trained personnel.

• The implement and/or tractor must be supported on
suitable blocks or stands, NOT a hydraulic jack.

• Check all nuts and bolts periodically for tightness, espe­cially wheel hub and rim nuts. Tighten to the prescribed
torque values.

2.12.3 - Start safely

WARNING: Before starting the engine make
sure there is plenty of ventilation. DO NOT
operate the engine in a closed building. The
exhaust fumes may cause asphyxiation.

Always start the engine from the driver’s seat with all the
transmission levers and the PTO lever in neutral.

Make sure that the tractor dual brake pedals are locked to­gether at all times unless you are making turns in the field
which require independent use of the brakes. Make sure
the brakes are properly adjusted so that both brakes en­gage at the same time.
Adjust the seat, fasten the seat belt (as specified in the
book), apply the handbrake and put all controls in neutral
before starting up.

DANGER: Start the engine, with the ignition
key, from the driver’s seat only. DO NOT
ATTEMPT to start the engine by shorting

across the starter terminals. The machine will
start in gear if the neutral start circuit is bypassed. This
could cause serious injury or death to anyone in the
vicinity of the tractor (Fig. 8).

Follow the start-up procedures recommended in the Oper­ation chapter of this Operator instruction Book. This chap­ter includes normal starting, cold starting, and the use of
starting fluids.

2.12.5 - Controls test

After starting, check all gauges and lights again. Make sure
everything is functioning correctly. If the tractor does not
respond correctly when each control is operated, DO NOT
USE the machine until the fault is remedied.
Ensure that the starter solenoid cover is always in position.

2.12.6 - Starting fluid

WARNING: It is very important that you read
and follow the starter fluid instructions before
using it. DO NOT use aerosol cans of starter

fluid on tractors with the thermostat con­nected to the electrical system. Ether combined with
thermostat can cause an explosion with damage to
engine, personal injury, or both.

Handle starting fluid correctly. Starting fluid must only be
used in conjunction with an ether-start aid fitted as original
equipment by the manufacturer or installed by a Dealer as
an accessory. In cases of tractors being fitted with glow
plugs or a thermostat, these must be removed prior to the
installation of an ether-start aid (Fig. 9).

If aerosol cans of starting fluid are to be used the thermo­stat must be disconnected. Remove the wire from the
thermostat which will be found on the manifold. Tape the
end of the wire to prevent an electrical short circuit.

2.13 - WORKING SAFELY

WARNING: An unbalanced tractor could over­turn and cause injury or death.

Make sure front frame counterweights, wheel

weights and wheel ballast are used as recom­mended by the manufacturer. DO NOT add extra coun­terweights to compensate for an overloaded tractor; it
is recommended to reduce the load. Keep all parts of
your body inside the cab while operating the tractor.

2.13.1 - Make the right moves

Ensure that the tractor is ready for the work to be carried
out. Make sure you know the tractor nominal load capaci­ties and never exceed them. Be certain that any attach­ments or implements you intend to use DO NOT EXCEED
the load rating of your tractor. Be sure the tractor and im­plement PTO speed match.

Keep in mind that tractors normally operate on uneven, un­paved, and often bumpy or sloping surfaces. Operating
conditions can reduce the amount of weight you should
carry or pull.

2.13.2 - Safety instructions to be observed

• Operate the controls smoothly - don’t jerk the steering

wheel or other controls.

• NEVER get on or off a moving tractor. Keep a firm grip

on the steering wheel at all times, with the thumbs clear
of the spokes when driving the tractor.

• Make sure you have adequate clearance in all directions

for the tractor and implement.

• DO NOT play with a tractor or equipment. Use only for

intended purpose.

• DO NOT attempt to work the controls except from the

driver’s seat.

correctly, stop work, switch off the engine, check the ma­chine and carry out any necessary adjustments or repairs
before resuming work.

2.13.3 - Safety of bystanders

Watch out for others. DO NOT allow inexperienced or un­qualified people to operate the tractor. They may cause in­jury to themselves or to others.

WARNING: A tractor is a personal piece of
machinery. Do not allow others to drive the
tractor or to use the implement (Fig. 10). DO

NOT ALLOW another person to get on the
implements or any other equipment, including trailers,
except in the case of harvesters specially designed for
this purpose (for the harvest itself and not for transport
purposes). Space should be provided on such equip­ment so that this type of transport can be carried out
in complete safety. DO NOT ALLOW children on the
tractor.

• Keep others away from the working area. DO NOT
ALLOW others to stand beside or walk beneath a raised

implement (Fig. 11).

S-1125

• DO NOT lift objects that do not fit safely into the
bucket. Obtain the correct equipment.

• When using a loader, avoid sudden stops, starts, turns,
or change of direction. Keep loads close to the ground
when transporting.

• DO NOT stand (or allow anyone else to stand) in front
of, under, or behind loaded or loading equipment. DO
NOT DRIVE a tractor up to someone standing in front of
a fixed object.

• Keep others away from universal joints, hitches, draw­bars, lift arms, PTO shafts, cylinders, belts, pulleys, and
other moving parts. Keep all shields and guards in place.

WARNING: DO NOT STAND, or allow anyone
else to stand, between the tractor and imple­ment unless the engine is turned off and the

handbrake is engaged, the transmission con­trol lever is in neutral, and all attachments or imple­ments are lowered to the ground.

2 . INTRODUCTION - SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND WARRANTY

Z2-538-05-03

Fig. 12

Fig. 13: Do not operate near the edge of ditches or banks.
The distance from the edge should always be equal to or
greater than the height of the bank, to prevent it from col­lapsing.

• When driving down a slope, use the gas control to slow
the tractor engine and choose the same gear ratio as
used when climbing a slope. Shift into gear before you
start downhill.

• Engage four-wheel drive (if fitted), this will give four­wheel braking.

WARNING: DO NOT disengage the clutch or
attempt to shift gear after you have started
downhill.

• The tractor is less likely to turn over if you drive up or
down a steep slope rather than driving across it.

• Avoid steep slopes whenever possible. If this is not pos­sible, avoid holes and dips when driving downhill. Avoid
stumps, stones, bumps and raised areas when driving
uphill. Keep the tractor behind the shear line when
working close to ditches or banks. (Fig. 13). Avoid
ditches, banks and riversides which might give way.

• When you must drive on a steep slope, avoid turning at
the top of the slope. Slow down and turn in a wide turn­ing circle. Drive straight on uphill or downhill slopes, and
never drive across them. Keep the heavier end of the
tractor facing towards the top of the slope when driving
up and down it.

• If a tractor fitted with lateral implements is used on a
steep slope, the implement must always face up the
slope. Do not raise implements. Keep them as low to
the ground as possible when crossing a slope.

• When towing a load at transport speed, lock the draw­bar in the centre position and use a safety chain.

• DO NOT use your tractor to round up farm animals.

2

S-1031

Fig. 13

2.13.5 - To avoid side overturns

• Set the wheel track at the widest setting suitable for the
work being done.

• Lock the brake pedals together before driving at trans­port speeds.

• Reduce speed to match operating conditions. If the trac­tor is equipped with a front-end loader, carry the bucket
and load as low as possible.

• Make wide slow turns at reduced speed. Don’t let your
tractor bounce. You may lose steering control.

• Don’t pull a load too heavy for your tractor. It could run
down the slope or the tractor could jackknife around a
towed load.

• Don’t brake suddenly. Apply brakes smoothly and gradu­ally.

2.13.6 - To avoid rear overturns

WARNING: Hitching to the rear axle, or any
other point above the swinging drawbar, can
cause a rear overturn.

• DO NOT PULL anything using the top link connection,

or from any point on the rear axle or above. Always use
an approved AGCO drawbar, and only use a drawbar pin
of the correct size and that can be locked in place.

• High hitching can cause rear overturn, which may cause
serious injury or death. Hitch loads to the drawbar only.

• Only use a three-point linkage drawbar when stays are
fitted to keep it in the down position.

• Use front counterweights to increase tractor stability
when towing a heavy load or to counterbalance a heavy
rear mounted implement.

• Start forward slowly and gradually increase your speed.
DO NOT reverse or release the clutch. If the tractor is
attached to a heavy load or immovable object, improper
clutching may cause rear overturn.

• If the front end of the tractor starts to lift, reduce your
speed and, if necessary, disengage the clutch.

8400 EAME

2.15

2 . INTRODUCTION - SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND WARRANTY

• If your tractor is bogged down in mud or frozen to the

ground, DO NOT attempt to drive forward. The tractor
can rotate around its rear wheels and overturn. Lift any
attached implement and attempt to BACK OUT. If this
is not possible, tow it out with another vehicle.

• If you get stuck in a ditch, BACK OUT, if possible. If you

must go forward, do so slowly and carefully.

• A bare tractor or tractor with rear mounted attachments
should be backed up the slope in reverse and travel for­ward downhill.

• A tractor with a loaded front-end bucket should be
backed down the slope and travel forward uphill. Keep
the loader bucket as low as possible.

• Always keep the tractor in gear when going downhill.
DO NOT PERMIT the tractor to coast with clutch disen­gaged or transmission in neutral.

2.13.7 - Emergency handbrake

IMPORTANT: If the brakes fail and in an emergency sit­uation, use the emergency handbrake located to the left
of the driver (Fig. 14)

2.13.8 - Other risks

• Ensure that the PTO shield (1) is in place when the PTO
driveline is not in use (Fig. 15).

2 . INTRODUCTION - SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND WARRANTY

• DO NOT use PTO adapters, reducers or extensions as

they extend the PTO coupler and universal joint out
beyond the protection offered by the PTO shield.

• The deployment of drawbars and lift rods must not
allow the threads to show.

DANGER: DO NOT attempt to unplug the
hydraulic connections, or adjust an imple­ment with the engine running or the PTO
drive in operation. To do so may result in seri-

ous injury or death.

• When using chemicals, carefully follow the chemical
manufacturer’s instructions for use, storage and dis­posal. Also follow the chemical application equipment
manufacturer’s instructions.

• When operating under poor visibility conditions, or in the
dark, use your tractor work headlights and reduce your
ground speed (DO NOT use your work headlights when
travelling on a roadway because rear pointed white
lights are illegal except when reversing and may con­fuse following drivers).

• Operate your tractor with tyres of suitable width, con­sistent with the particular task you are performing. To
adjust tyre width, see chapter Maintenance and Adjust­ments.

• Reduce your speed when operating over rough or slip­pery ground and when foliage restricts your view of haz­ards.

• DO NOT make sharp turns at high speed.

• Ensure that all trailed implements are fitted with a
safety chain linking the tractor to the implement, if
required by law (Fig. 17).

• Pull only from the approved drawbars. Towing or attach­ing to other locations may cause the tractor to overturn
(Fig. 18).

2.13.9 - Implements and attachments

WARNING: A front-end loader (bucket or
forks) must be equipped with a suitable hold­ing device to prevent the load (bales, fence

posts, rolls of fence, wire etc.) from rolling
down the lift arms into the driver’s compartment and
crushing the driver when the loader is raised. Inade­quately secured objects could also fall and injure
bystanders.

• Three-point hitch and side mounted implements make a

much larger arc when turning than towed equipment-.
Make certain to maintain sufficient clearance for turning.
Use only AGCO approved equipment.

• When using attachments or implements with the trac-

tor, be sure to read and understand the instructions in
the Operator Instruction Book for that attachment or
implement and follow its safety instructions. Use only
AGCO approved attachments and implements.

• DO NOT overload a towed attachment or equipment.

Use proper counterweights to maintain tractor stability.
Hitch loads to the drawbar only.

• A transport chain 1 will help control drawn equipment

should it be accidentally separated from the drawbar
while transporting. Using the appropriate adapter parts,
attach the chain to the tractor’s safety chain anchor or
any other specified anchor point. Provide only enough
slack in the chain to permit turning. Contact your AGCO
dealer for a chain of equal or greater strength than the
weight of the trailed implement (Fig. 17).

3 . INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS

The seat height can be altered by either pulling out or
pushing in the actuator lever of the automatic weight
and height actuator lever (2). If the adjustment reaches
the top or bottom endstop, the height is adjusted auto­matically in order to guarantee a minimum spring
travel.

NOTE: In order to avoid damage, do not operate com­pressor for more than 1 minute.

Manual adjustment seat

The seat height can be set automatically and is adjusta­ble in several steps. The seat can be raised as required
until it clicks into position. If the seat is raised higher
than the last notch (end of travel), it returns to its low­est position.

3. Fore / aft adjustment:
The locking lever must latch into the desired position.

It should not be possible to move the driver seat into
another position when it is locked.

4. Backrest angle adjustment.

5. Swivel adjustment:
Pull the lever until you feel resistance which allows
you to turn the seat 20° to the left and 10° to the right.

Lockable every 10°.
If you pull more strongly to overcome the resistance

the swivel is unlocked and you can turn freely. For

Under certain driving conditions (for example with a

trailer attached), it is useful to activate the fore / aft iso­lator. This means that shock impacts in the driving
direction can be better absorbed by the driver seat:

- Position 1 = fore / aft isolator on

- Position 2 = fore / aft isolator off.

3.10.1 - Air conditioning system

IMPORTANT: When the air conditioning system is in
use the cab doors and windows should be closed. Do
not use the air conditioning system when the tempera­ture falls below 20°C (68°F). Switch off the system
before starting up the engine. Ensure the cab air filter is
clean (see chapter 5).

NOTE: If the air conditioning has not been used for
some time, unlock the compressor before starting the
engine, by rotating the pulley nut with a wrench.

IMPORTANT: To prevent seizure of the compressor and
keep the cooling system in good condition, operate the
air conditioning for a few minutes at least once a week
even in winter.

during the running in period

1. Experience has shown that the first 50 hours of tractor
operation have a significant effect on the performance
and life of the engine.

2. From the first operation, the tractor must run at almost
full load of the engine. The engine should always be
allowed to reach a temperature of 60°C (140°F) before
being subjected to full load.

3. It is quite normal for oil consumption to be higher dur­ing the running in period. During running in therefore,
check the engine oil level twice a day during the first
50 hours of operation to avoid the risk of lubrication
failure.

4. During running in, frequently check the tightness of all
nuts, bolts and screws. The wheel nuts must be
retightened daily until their torque has stabilised (see
chapter 6).

4.2 - START-UP

IMPORTANT: Before starting the tractor, refer to the
Service Guide, chapter 5.

Z4A-1666-12-05

WARNING: DO NOT plug in heating element
for testing unless immersed in coolant. It is
dangerous to switch on a heating element in
the open air, as the heat released can cause
injury and the element can explode.

Z4A-1667-12-05

DANGER: Before starting, never run the
engine in a closed space. Never run the engine
unless you are sat at the steering wheel of the
tractor.

CAUTION: After a long standstill, to ensure
lubrication of the turbocharger bearings run
the engine on the starter for about ten sec­onds.

4.2.1 - Starting the engine

Follow the start-up procedure as shown in Fig. 2.

DANGER: Make sure that the PowerShuttle
lever is in neutral position, the handbrake is
applied and the "ParkLock" control on the
steering wheel is engaged.

1. When the ignition key is on, the TC and DC symbols
flash on the right-hand screen of the instrument panel
(Fig. 2).

NOTE: The numbers under T.C. and D.C., required for
the service engineer, correspond to the installed soft­ware version.

2. All indicator lights on the instrument panel should
come on. If one of the indicator lights does not come
on, consult your dealer.

4.2.2 - Cold weather starting

A 1000 W heater and connection cable are fitted to help
cold weather starting. The heater operates with 220 or
110 V (depending on option) and in general heats the en­gine coolant in two hours. Overnight operation may be re­quired when temperatures are extremely low.

4.3 - STOPPING THE ENGINE

Reduce the engine speed to idling for a few seconds, then
turn the ignition key to the "Stop" position.

IMPORTANT: Do not stop the turbocharger engine sud­denly when the engine is running at high speeds,
because the turbine will continue turning on its own but
will no longer be lubricated. Slow the engine before
stopping it.

Move the PTO knob to neutral position before starting
the engine.

4.4 - DRIVING THE TRACTOR

4.4.1 - Foot throttle

The use of the foot throttle makes it possible to exceed the
engine speed set by the hand throttle. When the foot throt­tle pedal is released, the engine speed returns to that set
by the hand throttle.

CAUTION: When using the foot throttle, the
hand throttle should be placed in the "idle"
position.

Do not keep your foot on the clutch pedal, or maintain
it at mid-travel.

Always descend slopes with the tractor in gear and the
clutch engaged.

When turning on headlands with heavy, mounted
implements, reduce engine speeds during the
manoeuvre. If the engine is not running steering is not
power assisted.

4.4.2 - PowerShuttle control

Control located to the left of the steering wheel (1. Fig. 3)
The PowerShuttle control is used to quickly change direc-

tion of travel (forward or reverse), and to change the speed.

will be displayed on the instrument panel right-hand
screen.

When the tractor is travelling, each change to the direc­tion is with the control (1) without declutching.

NOTE: It is recommended to use the clutch pedal for all
precise manoeuvring (attachment of implements, etc.).

4.4.3 - "ParkLock" electromechanical operated brake (optional)

A Fig. 4: A control located to the left of the steering wheel
allows the operator in the driver’s seat to control the "acti­vated" and "deactivated" ParkLock" electromechanical
brake positions.

Activating the "ParLock":

- the PowerShuttle lever must be in neutral position,

- the control (A) pushed towards the steering wheel

(closed padlock symbol).

The "ParkLock" is engaged.

NOTE: The electronic control ensures that the "Park-
Lock" is engaged as soon as the ground speed drops
below 1 kph. The indicator light on the instrument
panel comes on and the "P" symbol appears on the dig-
ital display.

Deactivating the "ParkLock":

Z2-138

- The control (A) must be pulled outwards (open padlock

symbol).

IMPORTANT: For the "ParkLock" to disengage after
engine start-up, the electronic control must record a
switch of the control (A) from the closed padlock posi­tion to the open padlock position. If this condition is not
met, the "ParkLock" remains engaged, even if the con­trol is in the open padlock position.

4.4.4 - Selecting the correct gear ratio

Fig. 6. Select the gear ratio that ensures the best fuel con­sumption without overloading the engine or the transmis­sion; also remind that the soil conditions in a field may vary
over a few metres. Select a ratio which allows the engine
to operate comfortably at about 75% of its maximum pow­er.

4 . OPERATION

4.4.5 - Preselecting A / B memorised engine speeds

Fig. 5 - This function allows the operator to continuously
choose between two engine speeds stabilised according
to the adjustments selected.

Memorising engine speeds

1. Select the required speed using the foot or hand throt-

tle:
Keep the memory button (A or B (22) pressed down
for 1 to 2 seconds. The speed is memorised and acti-

vated. The operation is the same for both memories (A
and B), and the speed remains memorised even if the
ignition is switched off.

2. No speed must be selected:

Keep the memory button (A or B) pressed down, do
not release it, and the speed increases gradually;
release the button when the selected speed is
reached and the speed is memorised and activated.

Press button A / B to select or deselect the engine speed
predefined by button (23).

Each time button (23) is pressed, engine speed is in­creased/decreased by 10 rpm. A continuously applied pres­sure allows to rapidly increase or decrease the engine
speed to be memorised.

4.5 - DYNA VTTRANSMISSION

4.5.1 - General

Models fitted with Dyna VT transmission have continuous
variable transmission in the forward and reverse positions.
Power is transmitted hydrostatically or mechanically, OR
hydrostatically and mechanically:

• Slow forward travel = Power transmission is hydrostatic
primary / mechanical secondary

• Fast forward position = Power transmission is hydro­static secondary / mechanical primary.

4.5.2 - Use

There are no mechanical speeds like on a standard tractor.

4.5.2.1 - Selecting direction of travel

Dyna VT transmission operation has a user interface and a
specific display. The PowerShuttle lever (Fig. 10) controls
direction of travel, and speed increase and decrease.

Ratio selection positions:

1. Neutral

4.5.6 - SV1 and SV2 Speed regulators

The ground speed is held constant.

The speed regulator function allows the user to easily store
and recall a ground speed.
Two separate memory buttons (SV1 and SV2) are available
(Fig. 17). This allows to store two ground speeds, e.g.
working speed and transport speed).
The memorised speeds are displayed to the right of the
DOT MATRIX screen (1 and 2 Fig. 18). When the speed
regulator is used, the corresponding memory is highlighted
on the screen. In Fig. 18, stored speed SV1 is activated.

4.5.6.1 - Presetting SV1 and SV2 speeds

The ground speed value can be adjusted using SV1 and
SV2 potentiometers (2 and 3 Fig. 16). The adjusted values
are automatically stored and remain in memory even after
the tractor engine is stopped.

NOTE: It is also possible to change the stored speed
when the tractor is driving with an activated “regu­lated” speed.

To shift between stored speeds, press once on the SV1 or
SV2 button (Fig. 17). Press for more than 3 seconds on but­ton SV1 or SV2 (Fig. 17) to store the actual tractor speed
and replace the previous stored speed.

The speed regulator can only be activated if the follow­ing conditions are met:

• Clutch pedal not activated

• The tractor is running and has reached restart speed

• The engine speed is higher than 1100 rpm

The underspeed supervisor is automatically activated
when the engine speed drops in case of stress. The tractor
speed is then decreased automatically by the gearbox con­trol to prevent the engine speed from dropping further.

Supervisor operation

The underspeed supervisor is automatically activated
when the engine speed drops below 180 rpm under load.
The supervisor value is set by a potentiometer located on
the right-hand console (Fig. 19). Changes take effect imme-

operation to the corresponding values. When the engine
underspeed supervisor is activated, an icon is displayed on
the left-hand screen (Fig. 20).

Z3A-1457-06-05

Fig. 18

If these conditions are not met the “speed regulator” func­tion is deactivated and the instantaneous transmission ratio
is maintained, with no subsequent control. Start-up with
the "speed regulator" function is not possible. Stored
speeds can be activated in both directions of movement.

The “speed regulator” mode is deactivated when:

• The drive lever is used

• The brake pedal or engine brake is activated

• Engine speed drops below 1100 rpm

• The neutral switch is activated

• The range is changed (Hare or Tortoise).

CAUTION: Any use of the brakes automati­cally deactivates the speed regulator (SV1 or
SV2) as well as the stored engine speed (A or
B).

4.5.8.3 - Coupler function under traction

The coupler function is activated when the engine speed
drops below 1400 rpm, as the pressure in the hydrostatic
loop decreases in proportion to the drop in engine speed.
Just like a coupler, the function limits engine overload and
avoids stalling.
The coupler can be validated or not from the DOT MATRIX.

NOTE: To activate (Fig. 21) or deactivate (Fig. 22) the
coupler function, move the PowerShuttle lever to neu­tral, fully press down the clutch pedal and press the OK

.

Fig. 20

button for 5 seconds.

WARNING: The coupler function is "ON" by
default at start-up whatever is the status
when the engine stops.

4.5.8 - Clutch-coupler function

4.5.8.1 - Clutch function

Although the Dyna VT transmission has neither forward
clutch nor coupler, the tractor possesses a clutch pedal.

This pedal allows to control the traction effort (as with
standard clutch slip). When an obstacle appears suddenly,
the tractor can be rapidly stopped, just like a conventional
tractor, by pressing the clutch and brake pedals.

4.5.8.2 - Coupler function

Traction power is limited at low engine speed thanks to a
pressure relief valve located on the transmission hydrostat­ic loop.

In connection with engine speed, the coupler function is
achieved by modulating the pressure in the hydrostatic cir­cuit. Thus, the coupler function replaces the measured ac­tion of a clutch pedal.

Z2-410-05-03-A

DANGER: When driving at speed or on the
road, the two brake pedals must be locked
together (Fig. 26). Only the foot throttle
should be used, and the throttle lever must be

in neutral position.

Check that A/B memorised speed is not activated.

Fig. 26

4.7 - DIFFERENTIAL LOCK

The differential lock is used to prevent the rear wheels
from slipping in relation to one another and thus limits trac­tor wheel slip during field work.

CAUTION: During manoeuvres, turning is dif­ficult with the differentials locked.

WARNING: Trailer brakes (Fig. 27). To activate
the trailer brakes, connect the trailer hose to
the union at the back of the tractor and lock
the brake pedals together.

Fig. 27

To engage the differential lock, press the switch (12Fig.

28). Differential lock engagement simultaneously engages
the front axle, the differential lock (5) and front axle (4) in­strument panel indicator lights come on.
To disengage the differential lock, press the switch again
(1).

IMPORTANT: DO NOT engage the differential lock
when a wheel is slipping.

Disengaging the differential lock does not disengage
the front axle.

• Automatic engagement and disengagement of the dif­ferential lock:

This function is permanent and either activated or deacti­vated as soon as the linkage control is activated (e.g.: Op­eration at headlands). As soon as the linkage switch is
pressed in Lift position, the differential lock disengages,
then, when the linkage switch is pressed in Down position,
the differential lock automatically engages.

IMPORTANT: Any use of the brakes cancels the differ­ential lock. Press the switch (12 Fig. 28) again to re­engage it.

DO NOT engage the differential lock when a wheel is
slipping.

4 . OPERATION

4.8 - FOUR WHEEL DRIVE

When 4WD is engaged, the front wheels are driven. This
function is strongly advised for field work to keep wheel
slip to a minimum.

IMPORTANT: To avoid damaging the front axle, it must
be disengaged for road use.

There are two modes of 4WD operation:

1. Automatic mode:
At tractor start-up, the front axle is in automatic mode. To

engage the front axle, press the switch (11 Fig. 29). The
corresponding instrument panel indicator light comes on (4
Fig. 29) and the 4WD automatic mode symbol appears on
the digital display (A Fig. 29).
When this mode is activated, the front axle is automatically
disengaged at speeds exceeding 14 kph and is automati­cally re-engaged as soon as speed drops below 10 kph.

2. Manual mode:
To activate manual mode, first engage the front axle by
pressing the switch (11 Fig. 29), then press this same

switch again for 3 seconds. The indicator light (4) comes on
and the front axle symbol in automatic mode disappears
from the digital display.

4.8.1 - Suspended front axle

The purpose of the suspended front axle (optional) is to in­crease the comfort for the operator by providing better sus­pension when driving the tractor on the road, as well as
providing increased stability at higher speeds by improving
tyre contact with the ground.
The front axle suspension can be activated and deactivated
by a switch Ref. 1 located on the right-hand side of the con­sole inside the cab Fig. 30.

CAUTION: The steering is hydrostatic type.
When the engine stops, the booster pump no
longer supplies the system. Hydrostatic steer-

ing then shifts automatically to manual oper­ation mode which requires greater effort when turning
the steering wheel. This mechanism therefore ensures
safe operation in all conditions of use. However, no
hydraulic system can operate correctly unless:

- it is correctly maintained and the approved oils

used,

- the tightness of all connections, and the oil level, are

regularly checked.

4.14.6 - Memorising a flow rate

NOTE: If the tractor is fitted with the DATATRONIC 3,
see chapter 7 in the EHS VALVES application for storing
flow and activation time values for each spool valve.

This function memorises a flow rate (for example 30% of a
spool valve maximum flow rate). Next, when the control is
activated, the flow generated shall be that of the stored val­ue.

When the engine is started, the spool valve controls are un­available and the button red indicator light (A ) is lit.

1. Press the button (A) to make the spool valve controls
available. The red indicator light comes out.

2. Move and hold the Joystick in the desired direction to
obtain the desired flow, the flow stops as soon as the
joystick is released.

3. By moving the joystick to its limit of travel beyond its
locked B1 / C1 floating position, and releasing immedi­ately, the flow is automated, and when in OFF position
the “~” icon is displayed on the lower screen.

Operation:
