hairs and pigtails from being caught in rotating parts.
•Do not wear jewellery and similar objects, eg rings,
when working with the tractor.
Safety notes for retrofits
The tractor has electronic components whose proper functioning can be influenced by electromagnetic emissions from
other equipment. These influences can endanger persons if
the following notes on safety are not observed.
•Have the equipment installed by your service centre
only.
•Before the installation of electric or electronic equipment connected to the tractor’s electrical system,
check if these installations can interfere with the
tractor’s electronic system or other system components.
153 14611

from the electronics.
C 9.92
Safety instructions for handling fuel, fluids
and lubricants
Gear oil, engine oil, diesel fuel
Do not eat, drink or smoke when handling
these fuel, fluids and lubricants. Prolonged
intensive contact may cause degreasing and
irritation of the skin. Wash the skin with water
and soap; use a skin care cream. If necessary, wear personal 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 fluids.
Remove spilled fluids immediately with an oil
binding agent and discard in accordance with
laws and regulations. Discard old fluids as specified.
12153 146
C 9.92
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 pressurized and pose a health hazard. Do not spill
these fluids. Remove any spilled fluids immediately with an oil binding agent and discard
them as specified. Discard the old fluid 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 pressurized 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 a suitable
personal protector (for example, protective
gloves, glasses and skin protection and skin
care creams).
Operating Instructions
Operating instructions
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. Neutralize
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), carbon
hydride (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.
153 14613
Operating Instructions
Operating instructions
Particularly the particulates 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. Therefore keep the
exhaust pipe away from inflammable materials.
Battery
During charging the battery emits a mix of
oxygen and hydrogen (detonating gas). This
gas mix is explosive and must not be ignited.
The danger of explosion can be avoided with
suitable ventilation and the keeping naked
fires away. Observe the safety rules when
handling the battery.
