Safety Instructions for Handling Fuels and
Oils
Gear Oil, Engine Oil, Diesel Fuel
Do not eat, drink or smoke when handling
these fuels and oils. Prolonged intensive contact may cause degreasing and irritation of
the skin. Wash skin with soap and water, use
skin care products. If necessary, wear protective gear. Change soaked clothes and
shoes immediately. If vapour or mist was inhaled, breathe fresh air. Consult a doctor if
the complaint persists. After contact with the
eyes, rinse the eyes thoroughly with water
(at least 10 minutes), then consult an eye
doctor. If swallowed, do not force to vomit,
but consult a doctor. Danger of slipping on
the spilled product, particularly in connection
with water.
Oils can contaminate water. Always keep
them in approved containers. Avoid spilling
oils. Remove spilled fluids immediately with
an oil binding agent and discard in accordance with laws and regulations. Discard
drained fluids as specified.
12145 146
Page 15
A 5.58 / A 5.58 P
Observe applicable laws and regulations. Oils
are inflammable. Do not let them come in
contact with hot engine parts as fire can result.
Hydraulic Oil, Brake Fluid
During tractor operation, these fluids are pressurised and pose a health hazard. Do not spill
these fluids. Remove any spilled fluids immediately with oil binding agent and discard them
as specified. Discard old fluids as
specified.Observe applicable laws and regulations. Do not allow them to come in contact
with hot engine parts. Danger of fire!
Avoid contact with the skin. Avoid the inhalation of spray fog. The penetration of pressurised fluids into the skin is particularly dangerous if these fluids are under high pressure and
escape from the hydraulic system through
leaks. Seek medical aid at once in case of such
injuries.
If injuries can not be excluded, use suitable
personal protector (for example, protective
gloves, glasses and skin protection and skin
care creams).
Operating Instructions
Information on Operation
Battery Acid
Battery acid contains dissolved sulphuric
acid. This acid is poisonous and caustic. When
working with battery acid, always wear protective clothing and eye protectors. Do not
allow acid to contact the clothing, skin or eyes;
in case of contact wash immediately with
ample clean water. In case of personal injuries, consult a doctor at once. Neutralise
spilled battery acid immediately.
Discard old fluids as specified. Observe applicable laws and regulations.
Emissions
Exhaust Gases
During operation, the engine emits exhaust
gas into the environment. The exhaust gas
mainly consists of water vapour, carbon dioxide (CO2), carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbon (CH), nitrogen oxide (NOX) and soot.
The components CO, CH and NOX are poisonous or hazardous to health and should
not be inhaled in high concentrations. Soot is
a carcinogenic material.
145 14613
Page 16
Operating Instructions
Information on Operation
Particularly the particles contained in the
exhaust gas can cause cancer.For this reason the engine should not be operated in enclosed spaces.
Heat
The exhaust gases are very hot and can ignite inflammable material. The exhaust gas
pipe should therefore be kept away from ignitable material.
Battery
During charging, the battery produces a mixture of oxygen and hydrocarbon (detonating
gas). This mixture of gases is explosive and
may not be ignited. The risk of explosion can
be avoided with proper ventilation and keeping naked flames away. Observe the safety
rules when handling the battery. Observe the
safety rules when handling the battery.

-Check the inflation pressure on all four tyres. All tyres
must have the same pressure. If the pressure is too
low, the rolling resistance increases. This causes an
increase in fuel consumption and tyre wear, the
driving characteristics become poorer.
DANGER
If the inflation pressure is too high, the tyres
can explode.

Additional Information for Implements
When installing implements on the front and
rear 3-point lift, do not exceed the permissible
total weight, the permissible axle loads and tyre
carrying capacities of the tractor. The front axle
of the tractor must always be loaded with at least
20 % of the tractor’s dead weight.
Before the purchase of equipment, make sure
these conditions are met by performing the following calculations or by weighing the tractor/
equipment combinations.
Determining the Total Weight, Axle Loads and Tyre
Carrying Capacity including the Minimum Ballasting
For their calculation you need the following data:
A 5.58 / A 5.58 P
a (m)Clearance between centre of gravity
of front implement/front ballast and
centre of front axle
b (m)Tractor wheelbase
c (m)Distance between centre of rear axle

Coupling Hydraulic Lines
ATTENTION
The hydraulic couplings on the tractor must
be pressureless before being connected. The
couplings on the tractor and the hydraulic
hoses must be clean.
NOTE
Each implement has different functions and
hydraulic lines to the control unit. Observe
the operating manual supplied with your implement and make yourself familiar with the
functions and colour codes.
Operating Instructions
Operating the Implements
Bild_063
-Open the protective caps on the hydraulic couplings.
-Attach the colour-coded hydraulic hoses of the
implement to the hydraulic couplings of the same
colour on the tractor.
ATTENTION
The hydraulic male couplings fit on each coupling and can therefore be connected incorrectly.
145 14685
With the connection you decide which function/movement of the implement is actually
to be performed with the control lever assigned to the coupling.
DANGER
If you are not sure about the functions, determine them by making trials at a safe place.
