functioning can be influenced by the electromagnetic
emissions of other equipment. These influences can
endanger persons if the following notes on safety are not
observed.
•Have your equipment installed only by an authorized
workshop.
•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.

-Only approved equipment (eg BTZ approval in Germany) may be installed.
-The equipment must be installed permanently.
-The operation of portable or mobile equipment inside
the vehicle is only allowed if connected to a permanently installed external antenna.
-The transmitting section must be installed away from
the tractor's electronic system.
-When installing the antenna, install it properly and
with a good connection vehicle ground.
-Do not exceed the maximum permissible current
rating of the wiring according to the installation instructions of the equipment manufacturer.

Safety Instructions for Handling Fuels and
Oils
Gear Oil, Engine Oil, Diesel Fuel
Do not eat, drink or smoke when working with
the product. Prolonged intensive contact may
cause degreasing and irritation of the skin.
Wash skin with soap and water, use skin care
products. If required, 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, especially in connection with water.
Oils can contaminate water. Always keep
them in approved containers. Avoid spilling
oils. Remove spilled fluids at once with an oil
binding agent and dispose of in accordance
with laws and regulations. Discard drained
fluids as specified. Observe all applicable laws
and regulations. Oils are inflammable. Do not
12145 052
C 9700 ... C 9.88 H
let them come in contact with hot engine parts
as fire can result.
Hydraulic Oil, Brake Fluid
During tractor operation, these fluids are under
pressure and a health hazard. Do not spill these
fluids! Remove any spilled fluid at once with an
oil binding agent and discard as specified. Dispose of old fluids as specified and follow the
applicable laws and regulations. Do not allow
them to come in contact with hot engine parts
as fire can result. Danger of fire!
Avoid contact with the skin. Avoid the inhalation
of spray fog. The penetration of the fluids into
the skin is especially dangerous if the 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 cannot be excluded, use suitable
protectors (for example, protective gloves,
glasses and skin protection and care creams).
Operating Instructions
Instructions for 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 clothing, skin or eyes.
In case of contact, wash directly with ample
clean water. If personal injuries exist, seek
medical aid at once. Neutralize spilled battery
acid immediately.
Discard the old battery fluid as specified.
Observe laws and regulations.
Emissions
Exhaust Gases
During operation, the engine emits exhaust
gases 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; particularly the
145 05213
Operating Instructions
Instructions for Operation
particles in the exhaust gases can cause
cancer. For this reason the engine may 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.
