23

SAFETY NOTES

STARTING THE TRACTOR

Warn bystanders before starting:

Before starting, Walk all around the tractor and any attached equipment. Make
sure that no one is under it, on it, or close to it. Let other workers and bystanders
know you are starting up and don't start until everyone is clear of the tractor,
implements and towed equipment.

Ensure that all bystanders, particularly children are in a safe position before
starting the engine.

Mount and dismount properly:

Always use 'three point contact' with the machine, and face the machine when
you mount 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 during mounting and
dismounting.

Clean the soles of your shoes and wipe your hands before climbing on. Use
handrails, grip handrails, ladders or steps (as provided) when mounting or
dismounting.

NEVER use control levers as a hand hold and NEVER step on foot controls
when mounting or dismounting.

NEVER attempt to mount or dismount from a moving tractor. NEVER jump off a
tractor in any circumstances.

Adjust the seat, fasten the seat belt (where applicable as outlined in this
manual), apply the parking brake and put all controls in neutral before starting
up.

Before starting the engine, make sure there is plenty of ventilation.
Never operate the engine in a closed building. The exhaust fumes may
cause asphyxiation.

KEEP RIDERS OFF TRACTOR

Slow down before you make a sharp turn.
Driving forward out of a ditch or mired condition could cause Tractor to tip over

backward. Back out these situations if possible.

24

SAFETY NOTES

PROHIBITED USE OF TRACTOR DURING OVERTURNING

Risk of Overturning:

For your safety, tractor is fitted with safety frame and seat belts.
In the event of overturning with a tractor fitted with a safety frame, hold the

steering wheel firmly and DO NOT attempt to leave the seat until the tractor has
come to rest.

To avoid side overturns:

• Set the wheel track at the widest setting suitable for the job 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 on reduced speed. DON'T let you tractor bounce.
You may loose steering control.

• DON’T pull a load too heavy for your tractor. It could run away on the down
slope the tractor could jack knife around a towed load.

• DON’T brake suddenly. Apply brakes smoothly and gradually.

• When going down a slope use the throttle to slow the tractor engine and use
the same gear you would use to up the slope. Shift into gear before you
start downhill.

• Engine four-wheel drive (4WD), if fitted, will give you four wheel braking.

PARK TRACTOR SAFELY

Before working on the Tractor:

Lower all equipments to the ground.

Stop the engine and remove the ignition key.

SAFETY STARTER SWITCH

1. Clutch operated Safety switch is provided which allows the starting system to become operational only

injury to the people standing nearby the tractor.

2. Keep Transmission in neutral position. Foot brake engaged and PTO lever in disengaged position while
attending to Safety Starter Switch or any other work on the Tractor.

25

SAFETY NOTES

AVOID HOT EXHAUST

Servicing machine or attachment with engine running can result in serious
personal injury. Avoid exposure.

Exhaust parts and streams become very hot during operation. Exhaust gases
and components reach temperatures hot enough to burn people, ignite, or melt
common materials.

AVOID HIGH-PRESSURE FLUIDS

Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin causing serious injury.
Keep hands and body away from pinholes and nozzles, which eject fluids under
high pressure. If any fluid is injected into the skin, consult your doctor
immediately.

PREVENT BATTERY EXPLOSIONS

Keep sparks, lighted matches, and open flame away from the top of battery.

Battery gas can explode.

Never check battery charge by placing a metal object across the poles.

ALWAYS USE SAFETY LIGHTS

Use of hazard warning lights and turn signals are recommended when towing
equipment on public roads unless prohibited by state or local regulations.

ROAD REGULATIONS

Ÿ When operating your tractor on a public road a number of precautions must

be taken.

Ÿ Know the route you are going to travel.

Ÿ Use caution when towing a load at transport speeds especially if the towed

equipment is NOT equipped with brakes.

Ÿ Observe all local or national regulations regarding the road speed of your

tractor.

Ÿ Use extreme caution when transporting on snow-covered or slippery roads.

Ÿ Wait for traffic to clear before entering a public road. Beware of blind

intersections. Slow down until you have a clear view.

26

SAFETY NOTES

PREVENT ACID BURNS

Sulfuric acid in battery electrolyte is poisonous. It is strong enough to burn skin,
cause holes in clothing and cause blindness. For adequate safety always:

1. Fill batteries in a well-ventilated area.

2. Wear eye protection and acid proof hand gloves.

3. Avoid breathing direct fumes when electrolyte is added.

4. Do not add water to electrolyte as it may splash off causing severe burns.
If you spill acid on yourself, immediately flush your skin with water and flush

your eyes for 10-15 minutes. Get medical attention immediately.

HANDLE FUEL SAFELY-AVOID FIRES

Handle fuel with care; it is highly flammable. Do not refuel the Tractor while
smoking or near open flame or sparks.

Always stop engine before refueling.
Always keep your tractor clean of accumulated grease and debris.
Always clean up spilled fuel.

SERVICE TRACTOR SAFELY

Do not wear a necktie, scarf or loose clothing when you work near moving parts.
If these items get caught, severe injury could result.

Remove rings and other jewellery to prevent electrical shorts and entanglement
in moving parts.

STAY CLEAR OF ROTATING SHAFTS

Entanglement in rotating shaft can cause serious injury or death.
Keep PTO shield in place at all times.
Wear close fitting clothing. Stop the engine and to sure PTO drive is stopped

before making adjustments, connections, or cleaning out PTO driven
equipment.

GENERAL OPERATING HAZARDS

Ÿ Three point hitch and side mounted implements make a much larger arc

when turning that towed equipment. Make certain to maintain sufficient
clearance for safe turning.

Ÿ When using attachments or implements with the tractor, be sure to

thoroughly read the Operator Instruction Book for that attachment or
implement and follow its safety instructions.

Ÿ Pull only from the approved drawbar. Towing or attaching to other locations

may cause the tractor to overturn.

Ÿ Improper use of the drawbar, even if correctly positioned, may cause the

tractor to overturn to the back.

Ÿ DO NOT overload an attachment or towed equipment. Use proper

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

27

SAFETY NOTES

PRACTICE SAFE MAINTENANCE

Ÿ Understand service procedure before doing work.

Ÿ Keep the surrounding area of the Tractor clean and dry.

Ÿ Do not attempt to service Tractor when it is motion.

Ÿ Keep body and clothing away from rotating shafts.

Ÿ Always lower equipment to the ground. Stop the engine.

Ÿ Remove the key equipment to the ground. Stop the engine.

Ÿ Securely support any Tractor elements that must be raised for service work.

Ÿ Keep all parts in good condition and properly installed.

Ÿ Replace worn or broken parts. Replace damage/missing decals.

Ÿ Remove any buildup of grease or oil form the Tractor.

Ÿ Disconnect battery ground cable (–) before making adjustments on

electrical system or welding on Tractor.

SAFETY TIPS DURING MAINTENANCE

Information about using implements with
power take-off drive shafts

1. CAUTION: Shut off engine and disengage PTO before
attaching PTO-driven equipment.

CAUTION: High-inertia implements do not come to a

standstill the moment the PTO control lever is shifted to
the dis eng age d position. Do NOT app roach the
implement while it is ”coasting down”. Do not work on the
implement until it has stopped.

CAUTION: Before attempting to clean, adjust or lubricate

a PTO-driven machine, the TPL, always make sure the
PTO is switched off and stopped, the tractor engine is shut
off and the ignition key is removed.

Turn key off to stop engine.

2. Attach implement to tractor before connecting PTO drive
line. Lock TPL in upward position if it is not to be used.

3. Rotate PTO shield upward for clearance. With engine off,
turn shaft slightly by hand if necessary to line up splines.
Connect drive line to PTO shaft. Pull out on shaft to be
sure drive line is locked to PTO shaft. Place PTO shield in
downward position.

4. Be sure all shields are in place and in good condition.
Never operate PTO unless master shield is properly
installed. WITH ENGINE STOPPED, check integral
shields on drive line by making sure they rotate freely on
shaft. Lubricate or repair as necessary.

5. Check carefully for any interference, make sure TPL is
locked in the upward position if it is not used.

1 - Z-shaped layout
2 - W-shaped layout

52

OPERATION

A

As far as possible, angles (a) and (b) at the universal joints
should be the same at both ends of the Telescoping driveline.

In applications where this is not the case (e.g. sharp turns
with PTO engaged), it is recommended to use a continuous­velocity drive shaft.

NOTE: The two schematic drawings do not show any guards
on the telescoping driveline. A guard is mandatory when
using telescoping drivelines.

IMPORTANT: Only operating conditions described in the
Operator's Manuals of the various implements are permitted.
This applies particularly to maximum permissible angle of
articulation, to the use of freewheel clutches and overload
clutches, and to the prescribed amount of overlap when
shaped pipes are pushed together.

Hydraulic Coupling Devices

Pull dust cover off coupler (A). When connecting the hose,
ensure that the connectors are perfectly clean.

IMPORTANT: Before using a PTO-driven
implement, take action to ensure that the
telesco p i n g d r i v e l i ne i s l ub r i c at e d

Wheels and Tyres

Tyres Play vital role in transportation and agriculture operations. It is the most important factor in the efficient
performance of tractor it should be used only as per company recommendation. Here we will discuss only
pneumatic tyres.

On any tyre there is some marking which represents its size & capacity e.g. Tyre marking is 8.3x20, 4 ply rating i.e.

8.3 inch is the section width, 20 inch is the bead diameter. Ply rating doesn’t show that the same No. of plies are

inserted in tyre. It is only comparative measure of the load carrying capacity (L.C.C) of tyre. As more ply rating
shows more L.C.C. at the same time as L.C.C. increase the shocks absorption capacity decreases.

In general, tractor is considered for two types of work:

- Work on soft soil where maximum adhesion is needed. In this case there will be use of lowest pressure
compatible with the load carried.

- Work on hard ground and roads, towing etc. In this case there will be use of maximum pressure.

Fuel Tank Filling

Comply with the following instructions when
working with the diesel fuel:

1. Do not smoke while filling the fuel tank because diesel is

flammable liquid and catch fire easily.

2. Mixtures of diesel fuel and alcohol are not approved since
the resulting lubrication of the fuel injection system is
insufficient.

3. Clean the area around the filler neck where the fuel is
poured.

4. Fill the tank at the end of the day to prevent the formation
of overnight condensation.

5. Never remove the plug or fuel the tractor while the engine
is running. Keep control of the pump nozzle whilst the tank
is being filled.

6. The tank must not be completely filled. Allow space for an
increase in volume. If the original tank plug is lost, it must
be replaced with an original spare which must be fully
tightened.

7. Dry up any fuel spill immediately.

Fuel Requisites

Store fuel cans away from direct
sunlight and slightly tilted, so that any
sediment inside is eliminated through
the outlet tube.
To make sludge and water
condensation easier to remove; there
should be a discharge plug (c), in the
lowest point, on the opposite side to
the drain tube.
If the fuel is not filtered from the
storage can, use a funnel with the fine
gauge mesh over the fuel tank fill plug
inlet when fueling.
Plan your fuel purchases so that
summer fuels are not kept for too long
and used in the winter.

It is important to use good quality fuel for the long life &
good performance of the engine. The fuels must be clean,
well refined and non-corrosive for the fuel system
components. Make sure that you use fuel of a known
quality and reliable origin.

Fueling

Before you fuel the tractor, clean the zone around the filler
neck to prevent foreign bodies from entering the tank. After
fuelling, tighten the plug properly.

Fuel Storage

Take all the necessary precautions to ensure that stored
fuel does not become polluted with dirt, water or other
substances.
Store fuel in black iron cans. Do not store it in galvanized
cans as the galvanization treatment would react with the
fuel and form compounds that would spoil the injection
pump and injectors.

Setting up a tank for fuel storage and decanting.

Long Idle Period

Take the following precautionary measures when your tractor

is not going to be used for a long period of time.

Park the tractor in dry sheltered place.

Drain the coolant from the radiator and engine.

Grease all points provided with grease nipples.
Remove the injectors and squirt a small quantity of engine oil

into the cylinders. Turn the engine over by hand, and then fit the
injectors back in place.

Generally clean the tractor .particularly the bodywork components.
P r ot e ct th e p a in t ed p a rt s b y a pp l yi n g s il i co n w ax
and the unpainted metal parts by applying protective lubricant.
Park the tractor in a dry, sheltered and possibly ventilated place.
Make sure that all the controls are in neutral (including he

electric switches and parking brake controls).
Remove the ignition key from ignition switch.
Make sure that the cylinder stems (of the power steering,

power lift system, etc) are positioned.

Empty the fuel tank and fill with it with new diesel fuel until

the maximum level is reached.
Remove the battery, clean the cover and spread Vaseline on

the terminal and terminal caps. Now connect the battery in the
ventilated place where the temperature is not liable to drop
below 10 and where it is not exposed to direct sunlight.

Check the battery charge with a voltmeter as described
in the battery part of this section Recharge if it is necessary.

Place stands or other supports under the axles in order to
take the weight off the wheels. When the tractor is
raised in this way, it is advisable to deflate the tyres.
If this is not possible, the tire pressure must be
periodically checked.

Cover the tractor with a tarpaulin (not plastic or waterproof).

At the end of the idle period. When
you start the engine again, pay
particular attention to the instruction
about starting engine in the operation
