C 9700 ... C 9.88 H
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.

Before Starting to Drive
Operating Instructions
When driving on public highways, observe the regulations
of the highway code.
Driving Safety Rules
•Drive the tractor only from the driver's station with the
cab doors closed.
•Always adjust your speed to the driving conditions
and the load you are carrying.
•Never drive downhill without having the tractor in gear
or with the engine stopped.
•Before driving, check that no-one is standing in the
immediate vicinity of the vehicle.
•The driving behaviour of the tractor is strongly affec-
ted by the weight and swing range of the implements,
trailers and, if fitted, ballasting. Therefore drive slowly
with heavy equipment and take the longer braking
distance into consideration.
145 05263
•When following a curve with a trailer or other attachments, don't forget to take the added length and drag into
consideration.
DANGER
Parts of implements posing a danger to traffic
must be covered before driving or identified
with warning signs.
•Switch off the differential lock when travelling along a
curve.
•When driving on slopes, drive downhill if possible; if
you have to turn, turn only when driving uphill.
•On steep slopes you can improve traction by activating the differential lock.
•Drive across slopes only in accordance with the notes
at the end of this chapter.

and make yourself familiar with the functions
and colour codes.
-Open the protective caps of the hydraulic couplings
(6).
-Attach the colour coded hydraulic hoses (9) of the
implement to the hydraulic couplings of the same
colour on the tractor.

With the connection you therefore decide
which function/movement of the implement
is actually to be performed with the control
lever assigned to the coupling.

ATTENTION
The hydraulic male couplings fit on each
coupling and can therefore be connected
incorrectly.

DANGER
If you are not sure about the functions,
determine them with trials at a safe place.

Installing the Cardan Shafts
Only use the shafts suited and intended for the implement.
The shafts are supplied with the implement. The length of
the articulated shaft must adjusted before the first
installation. In case of doubt, please contact our customer
service. Observe installation instructions for the articulated
shaft when installing it.
DANGER
Turn off the engine before the installation. After
the installation, fit the protective devices as
specified. After the removal, cover the PTO
shaft (1) with the protective cap again.
Removing Implements
-Drive the implement to its storage place and lower it
with the front lift.
-Stop the engine, but do not turn off the ignition.
-Operate all control levers for the front lift several times
in all directions. This relieves the pressure in the hydraulic system.
-Slide the outer ring of the hydraulic couplings (1) back
and disconnect the hydraulic hoses (2).
-Close the protective caps of the hydraulic couplings (as
for item 4).
-Remove the upper link from the pin of the upper link
support.
-Pull the quick attaches (3) up to release the implement
pins.
-Lower the front lift and back off.

DANGER
Due to the variety of implements and
connections, however, we recommend a trial
run of the movement at a safe place without
danger to persons or risk of material damage
before starting operation.
Two types of control levers can be installed: control levers
(1) and multi-function levers (4).
Control Lever Functions
You can recognize the functions on the notice plate (2).
NOTE:At the base of the control lever (1) is a
lock knob (7) with which the motions of the
lever can be locked or released.
The following movements are possible:
-Set the lock knob (7) to the middle position (lever free
to move).
-Push the control lever (1) forward:
•The implement is lifted.
Operating the Implements
You can stop the movement by releasing the lever.
-To lower the implement, pull the control lever (1)
back:
•The implement is lowered.
-Pull the control lever (1) fully back:
•The float position of the implement is turned on, ie
the implement can be moved with external use of
force. The function is on until the control lever is
disengaged again. It always returns to the neutral
position.
Functions of Lock-out Knob
With the lock knob (7) lever movements can be controlled
as follows:
The functions are shown on the plate (8).
-Knob depressed - lever movement locked
-Knob in middle - lever movement released
-Knob pulled out - float position released
NOTE:
If the lever movement is locked, you can
prevent any unintended movement of the
implement.
Transport lock for road travel.

The following movements are possible:
-Fully pull out the lock knobs (5 and 6) (lever movement).
-Push the multi-function lever (4) forward:
•The implement is lowered.
You can stop the motion by releasing the lever.
-For lifting, pull the multi-function lever (4) back:
•The implement is lifted.

-Push the multi-function lever (4) fully forward:
•The float position of the implement is turned on, ie
the implement can be moved with external use of
force. The function is on until the multi-function
lever is pressed out of the detent again. It always
returns to the neutral position.
-Push the multi-function lever (4) to the right:
•The implement is swung to the right*.
-Push the multi-function lever (4) to the left:
•The implement is swung to the left*.
* For example, when a snow plough is attached.
