To the operator

Valtra 600, 700, 800, 900

(models sold may vary in different marketing areas)

This Operator’s Manual is primarily intended for the driver. The manual

contains detailed instructions for driving and maintaining the tractor. Make sure

that your new tractor is always handled and maintained in the correct way

which will keep it reliable and provide economical operation for many years. In

certain marketing areas the whole model range are not sold.

This Operator’s Manual is only for agricultural tractors. If the tractor is used as

a traffic tractor, it must fulfil the requirements of local traffic regulations. In this

case always contact your Valtra dealer first.

In this booklet, information which refers to more than one model is given as

(e.g. 600--900 = 600, 700, 800 and 900).

Alternative equipment in the book means equipment, which can be selected

when buying. This equipment can not easily be fitted at a later time to the
tractor. Extra equipment means the equipment, which can be bought and

mounted at a later time to the tractor.

We recommend that you read the manual thoroughly. Follow the maintenance

program carefully and add the daily maintenance to your normal routine.

Maintenance, repairs and adjustments which are not described in this

Operator’s Manual require the use of special tools and exact technical data.

For such work you should contact your dealer who has specially trained

personnel to help you.

Only use genuine Valtra spare parts for optimum performance from your

tractor. You should order spare parts according to the instructions given in the

illustrated parts catalogue.

Due to the continual development of Valtra Inc. products, the content of this

manual may not always correspond with the new product. Therefore, we retain

the right to make alterations without prior notification.

Please note: when using the tractor you must always follow all valid

laws and regulations even, if they have not specifically been pointed out

in this manual.

B. Safety precautions

B. Safety precautions

B 1. Safety rules

This section summarizes the regulations which must
always be followed when working with the tractor.
However, these regulations do not exempt the driver from
following statutory and other national regulation as
regards traffic safety and occupational health and safety.

Safety regulations applicable for different types of working
sites and existing road traffic laws must always be
followed.

When designing the tractor priority was given to the safety
of the operator. Steps and handles have been placed with
ease of entry into the cab in mind. The tractor has several
safety features eg: guards for belts and pulleys etc.

65---2,2

CE---marking above means that this tractor meets
standards of EMC directives.

1 Brakes --- Always check that the brakes are

operating correctly before setting off. The brake
pedals should be locked together when driving on the
road. The brakes should be adjusted as necessary.
Extensive repairs to the braking system should be
undertaken only by Valtra approved service personnel.

When implements or ballast weights are front end
mounted the rear axle loading is decreased:

---In these circumstances the driver should check that
the rear brakes are still effective.

---When needed use opposite ballast weights at rear.

---On the 4WD models keep the 4WD engaged at least
on the slippery ground as then the front wheels are
braking.

2 Children and tractor --- Never allow children in the

cab or near the tractor or attached implement while
the engine is running. Always lower the implement to
the ground when leaving the tractor.

1

65---2

3 Roof hatch --- Open the hatch by pulling the lever 1

on the handle rearwards. Then push at the front side
of the roof hatch, the gas springs assist the opening of
the hatch completely.

4 Passengers --- No passenger may ride on the tractor

unless it is provided with a special seat. Other
personal transport, for example, on front---mounted
loaders, is not permissible.

CAUTION!
Hold on to the steering wheel
or safety handles in the cab if

the tractor tips over.

Never try to jump out.

5 Caution --- Hold on to the steering wheel or safety

handles in the cab if the tractor tips over. Never try to

jump out.

6 Maintenance --- The driver is responsible for

following the maintenance instructions in this Manual
and the safety regulations applicable for the tractor. No
maintenance work is to be carried out on the tractor or
implement unless the engine is stopped and the
implement lowered.

7 Lending --- Never lend the tractor to a person who is

not used to driving it. You may be held responsible for
any resulting accidents.

8 Lights --- Always make sure that the lights and

reflectors are clean and in working order. Do not forget
that the headlights must be correctly adjusted.

6080---8

65---2,3

9 Carbon monoxide --- Never start the engine, or run it

indoors while the doors are closed as this may lead to
poisoning by carbon monoxide.

---7---

B. Safety precautions

10 Downhill --- Never drive downhill with the gear lever

in neutral or the clutch pedal pressed down. Check the
brakes often. The brake pedals should be locked
together when driving on the road. Always change
down to a lower gear before driving down a steep
incline. When driving downhill do not brake
continuously--- danger of overheating the brakes!

11 Running speed --- Adjust the speed to suit the

driving surface, visibility and load. Avoid any sudden
increase or reduction (braking) in the running speed
as well as tight turns at high speed. If care is not taken
the tractor may tip over or the load may be displaced.

CAUTION: The maximum speed of the tractor must
not be altered.

Maximum operating forward speed is 40 Km/h, for
safety the maximum operating speed in reverse is
20 Km/h.

12 Power take --- off driven attachments --- When

running with power take ---off driven attachments or
machines it is very important that the prescribed safety
devices are used and that they are in good condition.
Serious accidents have occurred due to failure to use
prescribed safety devices. Follow the directions given
by the implement or machine manufacturer.

13 Check links --- When transporting implements on

the three---point linkage, the check links must be
locked with the locking pins.

14 Emergency exits --- The cab is provided with six

emergency exits. These are the doors, side windows,
rear window and roof.

15 Trailer load --- On tractors with trailers the load

must be properly secured. The load must not obstruct
the driver’s vision or cover lights and reflectors. Loads
wich project more than 1 m (39 in) behind the vehicle
train must be suitably marked. During day-time this is
done with a flag and during darkness with a red light
and reflector arrangement.

16 Trailer --- A trailer should only be coupled to the

drawbar. A loaded drawbar must always be lowered
with the three ---point linkage. Check that trailer brakes
are operating property and observe any special
instructions issued by the trailer manufacturer.

CAUTION: When the tractor is towing a trailer the
brake pedals must be locked together. The brakes
are not to be used individually for steering.
CAUTION: When using a trailer make sure that the
hitch latch is locked.

17 Front --- end loader --- When working with a front

loader be sure that no one is in the working area.
There is a danger that the tractor may tip over when
the loader is lifted. The driver should put the front ---end
loader in the down position before leaving the tractor.
Any special instructions issued by the loader
manufacturer should also be observed.

18 Running --- Before driving, always check that the

tractor is in a safe condition for driving on the road.
Rear view mirrors should be adjusted for the correct
viewing angle before setting off. When towing an
implement whose centre of gravity is located at a
significant distance behind the tractor, the driver
should remember that there may be considerable
sway during cornering.

19 Differential lock --- The differential lock must only

be used when driving on loose or slippery ground.
Never turn on a firm surface with the differential lock
engaged. The differential lock should be disengaged
when cornering.

A3565---12

20 Markings in operator’s manual --- The above

symbol occurs in the descriptions and instructions in
this manual to draw attention to points where extra
care is necessary to avoid personal injury. Where this
symbol appears it is particularly important to follow the
directions given.

---8---

B. Safety precautions

The signal words like DANGER, WARNING,
CAUTION and NOTE are used in different situations to

protect personnel and the tractor or implement parts
as follows:

DANGER, WARNING! These words
warn about the most serious danger
for personal injury.

CAUTION! This warns about damage
to the tractor or implement which may
also cause danger to a personnel.

NOTE! This word is to draw the operator’s attention
to some point e.g. safety instructions.

A3565---11

21 Front axle loading --- When driving on the road at

least 20 % of the gross weight of the tractor must be
on the front axle. When lifting an implement the weight
on the front end of the tractor is reduced, and the
steering ability of the tractor is impaired or sometimes
lost. Therefore sufficient ballast weights should be
carried. Ballast weights should be mounted only at the
points intended for this purpose.

22 Attaching implements --- Care must be taken when

implements are being attached. There is a risk of an
accident if the tractor or implement should move. It is
only safe to enter the implement if the parking brake is
applied or the wheels blocked in order to prevent the
tractor from moving.

23 Damage --- The driver is responsible for seeing to

the repair of any wear which might endanger the
safety of the tractor.

CAUTION: If damage occurs to the cab, all parts
affected should be replaced with new ones. No
repair work (welding, drilling, cutting, or grinding)
should be attempted.

24 Warning stickers --- Do not remove or cover warning

and instruction stickers. Always replace a damaged
sticker with a new one. New stickers are available from
your dealer.

A3565---12,1

25 Triangle for slow vehicle (SMV--- Slow Moving

Vehicle) --- When driving on public roads always use
the SMV emblem at the rear side of the tractor. Also
use the rotating light where required by law.

65---2,1

26 Mobile phones --- Mobile phones may cause failure

for the electrical linkage function. A mobile phone can
not be kept inside the cab, especially not above the
right side panel.
When using a mobile phone in the tractor it is
recommended that it is connected to the outside
antenna.

27 Hydraulic/fuel pressure --- Oil/fuel under high

pressure easily penetrates through clothing and skin
and can cause serious injury. Never attempt to locate
a leak in the hydraulic system or attempt to close a
leak using any part of your body.

---9---

B. Safety precautions

28 Implements maintenance --- Implements

connected to the linkage or the auxiliary hydraulic
system must be lowered to the ground during
maintenance.

29 Motor noise --- When you are operating the engine

or working near it, use hearing protectors to avoid
noise injuries.

30 Naked flames and smoking --- Naked Flames,

smoking and sparks are prohibited near the fuel
system and batteries. (Especially, when charging
batteries, explosive gases present).

31 By a fire --- At temperatures in excess of 300û C,

e.g. if the engine is on fire, the viton seals of the
engine (e.g the undermost 0 ---ring of the oil pressure
regulating value) produce very highly corrosive
hydrofluoric acid. Do not touch with your bare hands,
viton seals which have been subjected to abnormally
high temperatures. Always use neoprene rubber or
heavy duty gloves and safety glasses when
decontaminating. Wash seals and the contaminated
area with 10 % calcium hydroxide or other alkali
solution. Put all the removed material in sealed plastic
bags and deliver them to the point stated by the
Authorities concerned. NOTE: Never destroy

viton--- seals by burning!

C. General description

C 2. Service

In order to function satisfactorily the tractor must be
properly maintained.
The necessary daily lubrication and routine checks, can,
of course, be carried out by the driver.

Where adjustments and repairs are necessary which
require the attention of a qualified mechanic and the use
of special tools, it is advisable to rely on a workshop. In
this case we advice you to consult your local dealer as to
how your tractor should be looked after as he is in a
position to give you the best possible service. Through
service bulletins and special training courses he is kept
constantly informed of the factory’s recommendations
regarding care of the tractor.

C 2.1. Cost ---free service

Before leaving the factory the tractor was thoroughly
tested and adjusted to ensure it is in first-class condition
when delivered to you.

However, it is important that the tractor is given further
checks during the first period of operation. Bolts must be
checked for tightness, various settings inspected and
other minor adjustment made. Your dealer therefore gives
one cost---free service inspection (excluding oil and filter
costs) after 100 hours running.

C 3. Engine

65---6

Tractors 600 and 700 have engines of the 320 series and
tractors 800 and 900 have engines of the 420 series.
The tractors have 4 ---stroke direct injection diesel engines:
Three---cylinder engine, normally aspirated;

---600

Three---cylinder engine, turbocharged;

---700

Four---cylinder engine, turbocharged;

---800, 900

The principle of the turbocharged engine is that exhaust
gases from the engine cylinders drive the turbo unit which
forces air into the cylinders. This means that a higher
power output can be obtained with economical fuel
consumption.

The engine induction air passes through the air filter and a
safety filter inside the air filter. The air intake system has
an effective ejector pre ---separator system, most of the
impurities are removed before they reach the filter by the
exhaust fume flow. The safety filter prevents the engine
from being damaged if the main filter fails.
These new 20 ---series engines have lower fuel
consumption and cleaner exhaust gases.

C 4. Power transmission

C 4.1. Clutch

A3565---17

The clutch is of the twin type and is attached to the engine
flywheel. There are separate discs for the propulsion
clutch and power take ---off. Both clutches are operated
mechanically independently of each other, the propulsion
clutch being controlled by means of a pedal and the
power take---off clutch with a lever.The clutch plates are
both axel--- and rad springed.
As extra equipment the push buttons for HiShift are
available, making driving easier so there is no need to use
the foot clutch pedal. Traditional use of clutch pedal is,
however, always possible.

---18---

C. General description

C 4.2. Gearbox

A3565---18

The speed gearbox has four synchronized gears which
are controlled with a speed gear lever

.

In front of the gearbox there is fitted either a power shuttle
or an overdrive unit as alternative equipment.

On models with the shuttle unit the gearbox has three
range gears; LL=creeper range, M=Medium range and
H= High range. M and H ranges are synchronized. All
these three range gears are controlled with one lever. In
the gearbox there are 12 forward speeds and 12 reverse
speeds.

The overdrive gearbox is fully synchronized. There are
low, high and reverse ranges, which are controlled with
the same lever. The transmission has 16 speeds forwards
and 8 speeds rearwards.

The gearbox has a common housing with the differential.
Helical gears of the gearbox give a low noise level and
vibrationless power transmission. The gearbox also has
pressurized lubrication provided with an oil filter.

C 4.3. Rear axle

The rear axle is fitted directly to the gearbox.
The differential lock is of the pawl type which is engaged
and disengaged by means of a spring--- loaded lever. An
indicator lamp on the instrument panel lights up when the
differential lock is engaged.
Final drives are of the planetary gear type. From the
planetary gears power is transmitted to the rear wheels.

C 4.4. Power shuttle

65---8,5

The shuttle unit is synchronized and has a pressure lubri­cation system. The forward ---reverse shutle is controlled
with the lever nearest to the driver. For this reason for­ward/reverse changing can be made quickly and very
easily e.g when loading work is carried out.

C 4.5. Overdrive

The overdrive is controlled with the lever nearest to the
driver.
Overdrive is synchronized. It is possible to use it with all
gears and range gear lever positions to increase speed by
about. 15 %.
Tractors provided with this overdrive have 16 forward
speeds and 8 reverse.

C 4.6. Powered front axle

A3565---20

The powered front axle is driven from the output shaft of
the gearbox for front wheel drive through a propeller shaft.

---19---

C. General description

The differential of the front axle has an automatic
differential brake. The differential brake engages
automatically when wheel ---spin occurs. Front wheel drive
is engaged and disengaged by means of a control on the
left side of the driver’s seat.
Front wheel drive can be used in all gears, but when
running on the road it should remain disengaged.

C 4.7. Power take ---off

A3565---21

The power take ---off works fully independently of the
gearbox. It has its own clutch disc in the twin clutch which
is attached to the flywheel. Engagement and
disengagement of the power take ---off is via the PTO
clutch control lever of the clutch disc. Power is transmitted
from the flywheel to the power take---off through a power
take---off shaft which runs through the gearbox.
With the PTO selector control lever, located on the right
side of the driving seat, you can select either 540 RPM or
1000 RPM, alternative equipment 540E (750 RPM) PTO.
Front PTO (extra equipment) shaft‘s nominal speed is
1000 RPM (at an engine rotating speed 2120 PRM).

C 5. Brake system

The oil bath multi ---disc brakes are located between the
differential and final drive gears in the final drive housing.
The brakes operate hydraulically from the brake pedals.
The pedals can be connected together and used as
running brakes or separated and used individually as
steering brakes.
The parking brake is mechanically operated and operates
on the main brakes.
The brakes can be adjusted by means of adjusting nuts
which are fitted on the rear axle.
A trailer brake valve and the air pressure brakes are
available as extra equipment.

C 6. Steering system

65---7

The tractor has a hydrostatic steering system meaning
that the steering movement from steering wheel to the
front axle is transmitted by means of oil under pressure.
This makes the hydrostatic steering particularly easy to
use. If the oil pressure in the steering system should
collapse for any reason, steering is still possible by hand.
The steering valve then acts as a pump, although steering
will be considerably heavier.
On the hydraulic steering system there are two
alternatives. On one system there is a different hydraulic
pump for the steering system. On the other system there
is a priority valve (standard on models 800 and 900) which
ensures that there is always sufficient oil for the steering
system.

---20---

C. General description

C 7. Hydraulic system

65---8,3

On the hydraulic system there are two alternatives. On
one system there is one oil pump, which has a capacity of
36 l/min at an engine speed of 2270 r/min (max 40 l/min).
On the other system there are two oil pumps, whose total
capacity together is 52 l/min at an engine speed of 2270
r/min (max 55 l/min).

C 7.1. Hydraulic lifts

C 7.1.1. Hydraulic three---point linkage unit

The hydraulic lift has position control, lowering speed
control and draft control. Impulses for draft control are
obtained through the top link. The sensitivity can be
regulated by altering the fastening point of the top link.

C 7.1.2. Electro hydraulic three --- point linkage

69---8,3

When an electro ---hydraulic Autocontrol B (ACB) is fitted,
the control levers are replaced with knobs and switches.
Pre---programmed/programed functions:

--- Draft control/position control combining ratio plus
sensitivity on the regulator, the sensitivity adjustment is
automatic.

--- Lowering speed (independent of load)

--- Transport height

--- Drive balance control system

C 7.1.3. Front linkage (optional equipment)

See more information in section K of the extra equipments
on page 132.

C 7.2. Valves for auxiliary hydraulics

65---8,2

The tractor has two valves for auxiliary hydraulics as
standard. One valve can be changed to single --- or
double acting. Two additional valves can be fitted as an
optional accessory, also one valve can be fitted for the
trailer braking system. Single ---lever control is used for
these standard valves.
Four quick--- action couplings are mounted as standard at
the rear of the tractor. Provision has also been made for
the mounting of four extra couplings and brake valve
coupling.

IMPORTANT: Do not hold the front wheels at full steering
lock for long periods as the oil temperature quickly rises

increasing the risk of damage to the pump. If the oil
supply from the hydraulic pump should fail for any reason,
the tractor can still be steered manually with the steering
wheel.

At full---lock it is possible to force the steering wheel
further manually. This slip of the steering wheel, also
noticeable when driving across a slope, is normal and is
caused by an internal flow of oil for lubrication of the
steering valve.

CAUTION: If a malfunction occurs in the steering
system the tractor should be stopped and the
malfunction corrected before restarting.

Front position, I = direct range
Rear position, II = high range overdrive connected

Overdrive is synchronized, so it is possible to engage or
disengage as the standard gears while running using the
clutch pedal. It is possible to use it with all gears and
range gear lever positions. Tractors provided with this
overdrive have 16 forward speeds and 8 reverse.

CAUTION: There is a mechanism in the
overdrive which prevents the lever
remaining in the neutral position (middle
position) ensuring lubrication of the gear
box and PTO. Never, under any
circumstances, leave the lever in the
neutral position.

D 2.3.1.4. HiShift (1.4) (extra equipment)

Push buttons for HiShift are additional equipment, which
make for easier driving. With HiShift, the clutch can be
used not only with the left foot but also with the fingertip
button control.

The contact buttons are placed in all gear levers (tractors
equipped with low---gear in range- and speed gear levers),
so there is no need to use the clutch pedal. They also
enable clutchless shuttle operation.

Traditional use of the clutch pedal is always possible, and
also recommended in some situations such as attaching
the implements.

By pressing this push button (1.4) the clutch pedal is
depressed. When the push button is released, the clutch
pedal rises according to the preset adjustment.
When the speed is below 4 km/h the clutch is engaged
more slowly (the pedal rises slower) than when the speed
is greater than 4 km/h.

When using the HiShift, first press the push button and
then move the lever to the desired position. The push
button can then be released and the clutch will be
engaged.

WARNING: When coupling implements or
other operations where precise movements
are needed the foot pedal must always be
used.

WARNING: You should always be able to
operate the clutch pedal by foot if needed.
If the tractor engine is left running be sure
not to leave children or animals in the cab
as the push buttons can be easily operated.

If the clutch pedal has been pressed down by the push
button and the clutch is to be engaged by foot operation,
wait for a few seconds after releasing the push button
before starting to engage the clutch manually.

When operating the clutch for the first time in a cold

The operating instructions for electro ---hydraulic linkage
are (in section F) on page 57.

D 2.4.1.1. Diagnose light (1.1)

1.1

69---30,2

When the tractor ignition switch is on, the light illuminates
for a moment, goes out again and illuminates on again.
When the diagnostic light is on, it shows that the linkage
has not been activated.
The linkage is activated by turning the lift/stop/lower
switch (1.3) to lift or lower position, then the light goes out
and the linkage switches can be used. Linkage activation
must only be carried out when the main power has been
switched off, and when the inner switch for connecting
implements or the push button control has been used.
The flashing of the diagnostic light informs of a system
failure. In these instances contact with your nearest dealer.

D 2.4.1.2. Position control knob (1.2)

1.2

1.3

69---30,3

The linkage is lifted when this knob is turned clockwise
and lowered when it is turned counter---clockwise. The
knob allows continuous control of the position of the lower
links. It sets the position of the lower links when the
lift/stop/lower switch (1.3) is in the lower position.

D 2.4.1.3. Lift/stop/lower switch (1.3)

The lift/stop/lower switch has 3 positions:

--- Left side pressed down lowers the linkage =
Autocontrol position.

--- Centre position stops the arms.

--- Right side pressed down the linkage lifts = transport
position

By switching to the lift position, the operator can use this
switch to lift the implement into the transport position; by
switching it to the lower position the implement is then
lowered to the right depth (as selected using the position
control knob 1.2).

Linkage movement can be stopped by placing the
lift/lower switch in the centre position.

lifting, the lowering indicator (green = lowering) is lit when
they are lowering. Neither indicator is lit when the links are
stationary.

D 2.4.1.5. Lowering speed selector (1.5)

There are nine different positions available. The lowering
speed is increased when this knob is turned clockwise. A
slow lowering speed should be selected with heavy
implements. The lowering speed is independent of the
load.

D 2.4.1.6. Transport height selector (1.6)

The transport height (i. e. the upper position of the lower
links) is increased when this knob is turned clockwise.
Nine different positions are available. This knob limits the
lifting height when either the position control knob (1.2) or
the lift/stop/lower switch (1.3) is used. The height limit is a
useful feature when there is a danger that the implement
could hit the cab, etc.

CAUTION: This knob does not limit lifting height when
the push buttons in the cab or on the mudguards are
used.

NOTE: To quickly stop the lowering movement of the
lower links, press the lift or lower button.

D 2.4.1.7. Draft control selector (1.7)

1.4 1.5 1.6 1.7 1.8

1.4

1.9

69---31,1

This knob should be turned to the P position when the
position control is being used (base position). This
ensures that the linkage will remain in the selected
position without draft control. When draft control is used
(e.g. when ploughing/plowing) the knob should be turned
to one of the six (1--- 6) sensitivity levels.

D 2.4.1.8. Drive balance control switch (1.8)

Drive balance control switch has two positions and is used
when transporting heavy implements on the linkage. It is
used for balancing the tractor when driving. The system
only operates in the transport position, in other words
when the lift/stop/lower switch is in the lift position.

The balance control system begins to work when driving
the tractor. In this case the linkage lowers automatically
about 4 % (it can be seen on the lowering light). So that
the linkage has enough movement in both direction. The
linkage has to be high enough to accommodate these
movements.
When the vehicle stops, the balance control system stops
functioning and the linkage rises to the starting position
(visable on the lifting light).

D 2.4.1.9. Drive balance control light (1.9)

When the drive balance control is ready for work, the light
is on.

By pushing this switch, the lower links are lowered below
the position, set by the position control knob (1.2). After
releasing the switch the lower links return to the value, set
by the position control knob. The switch is spring loaded.
The forced lowering only operates when the lift/stop/lower
switch (1.3) is in the lowering = Autocontrol position. The
forced lowering switch uses the lowering speed set by the
lowering speed selector.

D 2.4.1.11. Inner switch for connecting imple-

ment (1

.11)

The lower links are raised and lowered by the switch in
the cab and by push button on the rear mudguards.
These are useful, for instance, when implements are being
attached. The lower links lift or lower as long as the
corresponding switch/button is pressed. The switch/push
buttons operate when the lift/stop/lower switch (1.3) is in
the lower position or the centre position.
After these switch/buttons have been used the position
control system must be activated by operation of the
lift/stop/lower switch (1.3).

CAUTION: The transport height selector (1.6) does not
limit the lifting height when these switch/buttons are
being used.

The lower link position sensor does not limit the lifting
height when the switch/push buttons are used; instead the
arms are moved to their extreme positions when the
switch/buttons are pushed.

E. Starting and running

E. Starting and running

Before starting to drive your new tractor make yourself
familiar with all instruments and controls. Study the
instructions given in the manual concerning the use of the
devices. Read the safety precautions at the beginning of

this manual.

Check all instruments immediately after starting and keep
checking on them while driving. Always carry out daily
maintenance on the tractor before starting the day’s work.

E 1. Points to note during the first 50 hours running

Drive smoothly and vary the loading in order to run the
tractor in correctly. This will give the tractor a longer
service life and make it more economical.

--- Do not race the engine and do not run it at maximum

speed.

--- Do not pull heavy loads with the engine running at too

low a speed.

--- Avoid driving in the same gear and at the same engine
speed for long periods at a time.

NOTE: Check that all nuts and bolts are properly
tightened (wheels, exhaust system etc.).

E 2. Start

WARNING:
Never run the tractor in an enclosed
building.

WARNING:
Never start the engine unless you are
seated in the tractor.

IMPORTANT!

If the engine has not been used for some time (over a
month), loosen the turbocharger oilpressure pipe
(DS/DW---motors) pour clean oil (ca 0.2 l) into the
turbocharger housing.

E 2.1. Normal start

1. Depress the clutch pedal and move the gear lever to
the neutral position.

2. Move the hand throttle lever to the low idling position.

3. Turn the starter key to start the tractor and release the
key when the engine starts. Use accelerator pedal to
increase engine revs.

4. Reduce the engine speed as soon as the tractor has
started. Never ”race” a cold engine.

--- Observe the oil pressure. After 3 ---4 seconds it should
be normal (expecially DW/DS models).

NOTE: If the engine does not start the first time, wait
until it is completely stopped before trying again.

E 2.2. Cold start

NOTE: Switch off all electrical equipment, as they still
draw current on therm and start positions.

1. Depress the clutch pedal and move the gear lever to
the neutral position.

2. Move the hand throttle lever to the low idling position.

3. Turn the starter switch key to the ”Therm” position and
hold it there for 20--- 25 seconds.

4. From the ”Therm” position, turn the key to the ”Start”
position and hold it there until the engine is started, or
for a maximum of 30 seconds. Use accelerator pedal to
increase engine revs.

5. If the engine fails to start, move the key back to
”Therm” and wait for a further 10 seconds, then make a
further attempt to start the engine.

--- Observe the oil pressure. Never ”race” a cold

engine.

E 2.2.1. Cold start, special instructions

If the engine does not run smoothly after it has started,
engage the cold ---starting again for a further maximum
period of 30 seconds (starter switch key in position
”Therm”).

If the starter motor does not engage immediately the key
is turned to the START position, stop the starting attempt
and try again after a short while.

IMPORTANT!
First warm up the engine and hydraulics for a little
while at low engine revs. You can speed up the
warming of the hydraulic system by turning the
steering wheel (not to the limit positions). Do not use
the auxiliary hydraulic valves when the oil is cold.

If you have to start the engine without the aid of the
cold--- starting device when it is very cold, keep the starter
motor engaged (for a maximum of 30 seconds at a time)
until the engine has started.

Starting the tractor when it is very cold is easier if the
battery is kept in a warm place when not working.

Never race a cold engine. Run the engine with a light load
until it has reached its normal operating temperature.

CAUTION: Always use the engine heater (standard
equipment), when the temperature is below 0q

C, when

possible.

This ensures the start in cold conditions and reduces the
wear on the engine. 2 ---3 hours warm up before starting is
enough. When the engine heater is connected to the plug
socket you can hear a hissing sound which means that
the warm up is on.

NOTE: If tractor driving is for a short--- distance, make
sure that the battery is charged enough to ensure
re--- starting.

---49---

E. Starting and running

E 2.3. Starting aerosol

NOTE: Use of a starting aerosol is not recommended.
Large doses can damage the engine and the warranty
does not cover any damage caused in this way.

WARNING! Starting aerosol must not be
used for engines with pre ---heating coil as
this combination may cause an explosion.

E 2.4. Starting with auxiliary batteries

(jump starting)

A3565---57

--- Check that the auxiliary batteries have the same voltage
as the standard battery.

--- Open the battery plugs to avoid risk of explosion

---WARNING: A fully charged battery

connected directly to a dead battery can
cause a current surge which can cause the
batteries to explode.
The correct procedure is as follows:

--- Connect one of the jump leads from the positive
terminal on the auxiliary battery to the positive terminal
on the starter motor and then connect the other jump
lead from the negative terminal on the fully charged
battery to ground on the machine, e.g. the starter motor
attaching bolt or frame member close to the starter
motor.

--- When the engine has started, first remove the jump
lead between ground on the machine and the negative
terminal on the auxiliary battery. Then remove the jump
lead between the positive terminals.

Start the engine using the ignition switch. Always follow
the correct procedure. Never try to start the engine by
short-circuiting leads.

Having started the engine, declutch, select the correct
gear, and release the parking brake. Steadily increase the
engine speed, and release the clutch pedal slowly.

E 3. Driving

--- In cold conditions warm the engine to normal operating
temperature before applying any loading. Remember
that there is heavier wear on the engine when running
cold than at normal operating temperature.

--- Keep an eye on the warning lamps and gauges.

--- Never stop the engine immediately after a hard working
shift. Allow the engine to idle for a few minutes so that
the temperature falls.

--- Lower the implement.

--- Stop the engine and turn the ignition switch to the ”O”
position.

WARNING! Never turn off the current before the
engine has stopped.

--- Fill up the fuel tank when finishing work for the day in
order to prevent condensation.

E 3.1. Changing gear

Select the ratio which gives the optimum fuel consumption
without overloading the engine and the transmission. Bear
in mind at the same time that soil conditions can vary with­in a matter of a few yards in the same field. Select a ratio
which allows the engine to operate comfortably at about
75 % of its maximum power.

The highest velocities of the individual gears, see speed
ranges (page 101).

To change to neutral while the engine is running use the
gear lever, not the range lever. This minimizes the number
of gears that remain engaged.

Electrohydraulic clutch, HiShift (extra equipment), using
and functioning, see page 36.

E. Starting and running

E 3.1.1. Forward/reverse models

65---36,1

First choose the right speed range with the RH side

lever

:

H = High range
M = Low range
LL = Creeper speed range

Next, select the desired speed gear (1 --- 4) with the
middle lever.

Finally, choose the desired driving direction with the LH
side lever.

Forward/reverse gears, range gears (except range LL)
and speed gears are synchronized and the clutch pedal
must always be used when changing gears.
When engaging the creeper range (LL) or changing driv­ing direction, the tractor must be stationary.

The tractor has 12 gears forward and 12 reverse gears .

CAUTION: The crawling speed range can not be used
for bigger drafting force than which is reached with
Low range (M).

E 3.1.2. Overdrive models

65---36,3

First choose with the middle lever the desired speed

gear 1, 2, 3 or 4.

After this choose with the LH side lever the overdrive on
or off.

Finally, choose the desired driving direction with the
RH side lever. When starting forward it can be chosen
high (H) or low (L) range.

Changing from High to Low while the tractor is moving is
not recommended, the difference in rotation speed be­tween the sets of gears is too great to allow a smooth
change down.
Overdrive is synchronized, so it is possible to engage or
disengage while running.

E 3.2. Powered front axle

65---36

Four---wheel drive can be operated without pressing down
the clutch pedal even when the tractor is running.
However, engaging must not be done under heavy

E. Starting and running

E 4. Stopping

Lower the implement (and in cold weather lower links
without implements), apply the parking brake and stop
the engine.

CAUTION: Before pulling out the stop
control, reduce the engine speed to idling,
for about one minute, to allow time for the
engine temperature to stabilise.

Snow chains must always be fitted on the front wheels if
they are fitted on the rear wheels. Check that the chains
are suitably tensioned so that the mudguards are not
damaged. When needed adjust the turning angle of the
tyres/tires.

E 5.3. Towing the tractor

If possible towing should be avoided when the engine is
not running, because the pressure lubrication of the
gearbox does not operate. If towing can not be avoided,
the range lever must be in neutral (the rightmost lever)
and the gear lever engaged in gear. The forward/reverse
gear lever must also be engaged. The gearbox must have
normal filling of oil.

NOTE: Towing speed should not exceed 15 km/h.

Operating instructions for the extra equipment are in
section K, of this book, after each extra equipment.

F 1. Use of power take --- off

Before attaching implements to the tractor PTO unit, make
sure the implement is designed for 540 R.P.M PTO or
1000 R.P.M PTO.

F 1.1. To engage PTO

The power take ---off should not be engaged, if it is not in
use. Disengagement for a short time can be done with
the PTO clutchlever (1) (max 5 min). When the PTO is
disengaged using lever (1) which is situated on left side of
the instrument panel, the light on the instrument panel is
lit.

69---38

--- Pull the PTO clutch lever (1) back (at the same time
turning the knob clockwise).

--- Set engine revs to low idling.

65---39

2

--- Move the PTO selector lever (2) to desired PTO range
position

lever in left position = 1000 or 540E
lever in right position =540

--- Release the PTO clutch lever (1) steadily and allow it to
move forward to the front position. Adjust engine revs.

NOTE! When using the 540 E position, be aware that,
when increasing the engine revs, the PTO shaft can
rotate up to 800 r/min.

F 1.2. Disengagement

In reverse order.

The power take ---off is equipped with a brake, which
prevents the PTO shaft from rotating when the PTO is
disengaged.

69---56,2

WARNING: Stop the engine and disengage
the PTO before attaching an implement to
the tractor. Check that the implement’s
working area is clear before engaging the
PTO.

CAUTION: The PTO should only be engaged when the
engine is running.

CAUTION: The disengagement of the PTO must only
be done using the lever (2) on the right --- hand side of
the seat, e.g. when leaving the cap.

WARNING: When a PTO driven implement is
used no personnel are allowed near the PTO
shaft. Service work on the PTO shaft should
only be carried out with the PTO
disengaged, the engine stopped and the key
removed from the ignition switch.

WARNING: After the PTO is disengaged the
implement continues to rotate for some time.
Do not approach the implement until it has
fully stopped.

When coupling or decoupling an implement it should
be supported if necessary to prevent it from falling.

---53---

F. Operating instructions

65---37

WARNING: The guard casing over the power
take--- off shaft must always be fitted when
the power take --- off is not being used.

F 2. Trailer

Gross weight of trailer = load + tare weight of trailer.

The kind of trailer which can be connected to the tractor
depends, among other things on whether the trailer has
brakes, how much of the trailer weight is on the hitch, the
slackening of the tractor brakes and whether the trailer
has one or more axles.
For further information, contact the dealer.

When loading the trailer hitch, make sure that the load
on the front axle is at least 20% of the tare weight of the
tractor. Do not exceed the maximum permissible loading
on the tyres/tires or trailer hitch. The values for tyre/tire
pressures and permissible loadings are given in the
”Technical specifications”, see page 98 and the trailer
hitch loading in the “Extra equipment”, see page 127.

If the tractor is fitted with an optional trailer brake valve the
brake fluid used should be (SAE J1703):

--- The brake fluid has to be checked regularly, only use
brake fluid SAE J1703.

DANGER: The brake fluid is corrosive and poisonous
and must therefore be handled carefully at all times.

WARNING: If the trailer hitch is worn --- out
or otherwise damaged so, that it is
possible that the drawbar eye can be
detached from the trailor hitch. The hook
must be replaced.

links. Hook ends are available as optional equipment.

F 3.1. Lifting links

65---40,1

The length of the lifting links can be adjusted by lifting the
levelling screws up and turning them in the required
direction. After adjustment the levelling screws must be
lowered back down to the locked position.

A3565---65,3

The lifting links can be attached to the lower links at one
of two holes. Different holes give different lifting ranges
and lifting power for the lower links.
In addition, the carrier pin (1) can be fitted to the lower
links at two different positions; one gives a fixed position
and the other allows slight vertical movement of the lower
links.

F 3.2. Check links

A

65---41

Check links are used to limit the lateral movement of the
lower links.

By changing position of the check link attaching pin (A),

---55---

F. Operating instructions

different lateral positions for the lower links can be
obtained. If the pins are fitted in the long holes, the lower
links have a floating position in the lateral direction.

F 3.3. Telescopic lower links

When connecting an implement, pull from the link (B),
then the lower link will move to the floating position.
After disconnecting the lower link will lock when lifting the

implement.

When disconnecting the implement, pull the link (B) and
turn 1/4 turn (implement lifted up). Lower the implement
and move the tractor forward a few centimeters, this will
put the lower links in the floating position and allow the
implement to be disconnected easily.

CAUTION: Turn the links anti-clockwise to the down
position when connecting the implement.

F 4. Using the hydraulic lift

F 4.1. Using the mechanically controlled hydraulic lift

A3565---66

The hydraulic lift is operated by means of:

--- Position lever

--- Draft control sensitivity (by changing the place of the
top link)

--- Lowering speed control

DANGER: When transporting tractor mounted
implements it is essential that the check links of the
lower links are locked with the cotters.

F 4.1.1. Position lever

3

1

65---42,1

Move the lever (3) backwards to raise the lower links and
forwards to lower them. When the position lever is set in
an intermediate position, the lower links move to a
corresponding height.

NOTE: Lock the position control lever with locking

device (1) in the rearmost position (lower links at top)
when transporting an implement mounted on the
three--- point linkage.

When working with position control only the pawl for the
top link bracket (impulse sender pawl) should be in the
locked position (lever in horizontal position).

The position control is used when working with
tractor---mounted machines (mowers, centrifugal
broadcasters, plant sprayers etc).

With the limiter (1) of the position control lever (3) the
lower links can always be lowered to the same position.

F 4.1.2. The floating position

The floating position is used when working with
implements which are provided with support wheels or
similar. Push the position lever forward as far as it will go,
when the lower links and working implements can move
freely up and down.

Draft control functions when the impulse sender lever (2)
is in the vertical position.

Set at a suitable working depth for the implement, position
the lever in the locked position. When the draft resistance
exceeds the set value the top link bracket activates the
hydraulic lift which raises the implement so that the
resistance remains constant.

The draft sensing is regulated by the force in the top link.
The automatic weight transmission acts together with the
draft control.

With increasing draft resistance the hydraulic lift raises the
implement and its weight is partly transmitted to the rear
wheels of the tractor so that maximum draft is always
obtained on the rear wheels.

65---44

4

Mechanically controlled hydraulic lift

NOTE: Draft control sensitivity can be altered by
moving the attaching points of the top link (4) on the
tractor. Draft control sensitivity is least when the top
link is connected to the lower hole and greatest when
connected to the upper hole.

Draft control is used when working with soil penetrating
implements (ploughs/plows, cultivators etc).

NOTE: Semi ---mounted and fully mounted implements
can not be exploited with top link sensitivity.

WARNING: Only engage draft control with
the lever (2) when there is no load on the
three--- point linkage unit (lowest position)
and the position lever is fully in its lowest
position.

NOTE: Adjust the check links so that the rear end of
the lower links have a play of approx. 70 mm (3 in).
The sideways movement of the implement affects the
draft resistance.

When draft control is not being used the impulse sender
pawl (2) should be in the horizontal position.

F 4.1.4. Adjustment of lowering speed

A3565--70

Control fully pushed in = max. lowering speed
Control fully pulled out = min. lowering speed

When heavy implements are connected to the hydraulic
lift the lowering speed control should be set at minimum.
This gives the smoothest possible lowering movement.

The lift/stop/lower switch (2) has 3 positions. When the
left side is pressed down the lower links are lowered to
the height which is set by the position control knob

(1). When the right side is pressed down the lower links
raise to the height set by the transport height selector
(6). The lower links stop moving when the switch is set in
the centre position.

F 4.2.2. Activating the linkage

The position control is activated by switching the lift/stop/

lower switch (2) to the lift position or to the lower
position. After this, the lower links take up the position set

by the position control knob. The linkage can only be
activated when the tractor has been switched off or when
the push buttons mounted on the mudguards or the inner
switch in the cab (8) have been used.

F 4.2.3. Position control

The position control is used with implements which run on
the ground (mowers, rakes, sprayers etc.).

CAUTION: When the position control is being used the
draft control selector (4) must be set to the P position.
This ensures that the linkage will remain in the
position selected without draft control.

The lower links are raised when the position control knob
(1) is turned clockwise and lowered when it is turned
anti-clockwise. When the knob is set to an intermediate
position the lower links take up and maintain the

corresponding position.

NOTE: The implement can be lifted up by switching the
lift/stop/lower switch (2) to the lift position (=transport
position, the upper position chosen by knob 6) and
lowered back to the same depth (lower position set by
the position control, 1) by switching to the lower
position.

CAUTION: When lifting with the inner switch or push
buttons the lifting has to be stopped when the linkage
has reached its top position. This avoides
unnecessary over straining and heating of oil.

F 4.2.4. Setting transport height

The transport height selector (6) can be used to limit the
lifting height. Switching the lift/stop/lower switch (2) to the
lift position or using the position control knob (1) will result
in the links being lifted to the upper limit set by the
selector. The numbers of the position control knob (1) and
the transport height selector (6) correspond to each other.
Nine different heights can be selected using this knob.
This selector does not limit the lifting range when the push
buttons are used.

F 4.2.5. Floating position

The floating position is used when working with certain
types of implements, which have to follow the ground
surface (e.g. sowing machine, roller etc.). The position
control knob (1) is turned to the extreme anti-clockwise

---58---

F. Operating instructions

position and the lower links can then move freely up and
down following the movements of the implement.

NOTE: The control panel is fitted with lights (7) to
indicate whether the lower links are being lifted or
lowered.

F 4.2.6. Draft control

65---44,1

A

Electrohydraulically controlled hydraulic lift

Draft control is used when working with implements that
operate below the surface of the ground (ploughs/plows,
cultivators etc.). The draft control sensitivity is set by
turning the selector (4) to one of six different sensitivity
positions (1--- 6). Further the top link (A) can be attached
to four different holes, which give 24 different sensitivity
settings.

On Autocontrol the linkage is adjusted by the draft
controls which influence the working depth, 1 = small
influence ... 6 = very large influence.

NOTE: Semi ---mounted and fully mounted implements
can not be exploited with top link sensitivity.

Position 3 or 4 are normally used for ploughing/plowing.

NOTE: The ploughing/plowing depth can be adjusted
using the position control knob (1).

The lift/lower indicator lights (7) show the speed at which
the draft control is operating.

NOTE: The lower links allow a certain amount of
sideways movement to the implement, and this also
affects the range of the draft control. Therefore the
sideways movement of the links should be adjusted to
about 70 mm (3 inches) at the ends of the arms.

NOTE: When draft control is not in use the selector
switch should be turned to the P position.

When the draft resistance exerted by the implement on
the lower links rises to the value set, the linkage lifts the
implement in order to counteract the increase in
resistance trying to keep it constant.

When the draft control is operating the weight of the
implement is automatically shifted to maintain traction. If

pulling resistance increases the hydraulic lift raises the
implement and some of the weight is transferred to the
rear wheels. Thus the driving wheels maintain maximum
traction.

F 4.2.7. Lowering speed control

Choice of lowering speed (5) depends on the type of
implement being used. A slow lowering speed must be
used with heavy implements. The lowering speed is
increased as the knob is turned clockwise and vice versa.
Lowering speed is independent of the load.

F 4.2.8. Passing switch for position control

knob = forced lowering switch

The override switch for position control knob (9) can be
used on jobs, where lower links have to be, temporarily,
lower then the value which has been set by the control
knob. This is useful e.g. when ploughing/plowing. This
switch allows quicker entry of the plough/plow to the
correct depth at the beginning and better maintenance of
depth in exit at the end.

F 4.2.9. Drive balance control switch

A

69---45,2

10

11

The best use of the drive balance control is in driving at
high speed when a heavy implement is attached to the
three--- point linkage. It can also be used on fields.
The drive balance control is activated, when the switch
(10) is turned to the position A (indicator light 11 lights).
Then when lifting the linkage with the lift/stop/lower switch
(2), the drive balance control is on.

F. Operating instructions

F 5. Operation of auxiliary hydraulics

2

1

65---49

Two auxiliary hydraulic valves are fitted as standard.
Single--- lever control is used for these valves. Quick action
couplings are mounted at the rear of the tractor (1, as
standard 4 pcs). The working pressure is 18 MPa with a
37 l pump and 19 MPa with a 52 l pump.
The lower quick couplings are for the inner valve and the
uppers for the outer valve.

The volume of hydraulic oil available for the auxiliary
hydraulics is given in the “Technical Specifications”, see
page 106.

As extra equipment two extra valves for auxiliary
hydraulics can be fitted on the hydraulic system in
addition to the two supplied as standard. An extra valve
for a trailer brake can also be fitted.

CAUTION: Take great care if using unfamiliar trailers or
implements as the oil in the cylinder can contaminate
the oil in the hydraulic system of the tractor.

If the external hydraulics are used extensively it is
recommended that a return filter should be mounted in
the line (extra equipment).

An auxiliary hydraulic 1/2 inch quick---action coupling
return connection is fitted as standard (2).

F 5.1. Valves adjusting for single --- or

double acting

When the adjustment knob under the inner valve has been
turned up the valve is double---acting, and when it is
turned down the valve is single---acting.

When pulling the lever towards the numbered arrow,
pressure acts in the similar numbered quick--- acting
coupling. The inside valve has to be adjusted into
double--- acting.

---60---

F. Operating instructions

F 5.2. Action to be taken during operation

DANGER: When auxiliary cylinders and
hydraulic motors are connected ensure that
the hoses are attached to the correct
couplings. If the hoses are incorrectly
attached the functions may be reversed.

WARNING! It is prohibited to transport
anything on auxiliary hydraulic valves while
driving on the road. The load, the trailer
link steering etc. have to be locked (e.g.
mechanically).
WARNING! Implements connected to the
linkage or the auxiliary hydraulic system
must be lowered during maintenance.

CAUTION: When the auxiliary hydraulics are not in use
ensure the auxiliary hydraulic control lever(s) are in
the central position (neutral). Overheating of the
hydraulic pump may result if the levers are locked in
the push or pull positions.

F 6. Attaching implements

When attaching implements to the three---point linkage on
the electrohydraulically controlled hydraulic lift models
(this also applies to the drawbar) use the lift/lower
push--- buttons located on the mudguards or the inner
switch for connecting implement in the cab must be used.
The push---buttons only operate when the lift/stop/lower
switch is in the lower position.

DANGER! In the electrohydraulically
controlled hydraulic lift models always
before engaging or disengaging an
implement turn the draft control selector to
the position control positionP. In the
sensitive positions even the small position
control knob turning may cause an
unexpected linkage movement.
In the electrohydraulically controlled
hydraulic lift models always use the
push--- buttons situated on the mudguards
or the inner switch for connecting
implements when engaging or disengaging
implements.
When engaging or disengaging implements
with push ---buttons, always stand outside
the implement and beside the tractor. Never
stand on the implement or between the
implement and the tractor.

NOTE: After the buttons or inner switches for
connecting implement have been used on the
electrohydraulically controlled hydraulic lift models
the position control system must be activated by
operation of the lift/stop/lower switch.

WARNING: If necessary, when coupling or decoupling
an implement it should be supported to prevent it from

falling.

Make sure that the implement is correctly attached before
putting it to work and that the implement does not strike
against the cab when raised to the top position. When
transport driving with implements carried by the hydraulic
lift, the check links must be locked with pins.

Always follow the implement manufacturer’s instructions.
Remember that correct adjustment of harrows,
ploughs/plows and cultivators greatly reduces the
required power. An incorrectly adjusted plough/plow, for
instance, creates a badly shaped furrow, tries to twist the
tractor away from the travelling direction, increases fuel
consumption and causes loss of power because of wheel
slip.

When attaching implements to the hydraulic lift, make
sure that at least 20 % of the tractor weight still rests on
the front wheels. When required use a sufficient number of
front ballast weights.

F 6.1. Using PTO shafts

When PTO---powered implements are used, always make
sure that the PTO shaft is of the correct length, so that it
can work at full deflection vertically and horizontally. If the
shaft is too long it will cause damage. Follow the
instructions of the manufacturer when fitting the shaft.

WARNING: When fastening the PTO shaft
check that its shield is undamaged. Always
fasten the shield to a stationary part of the
tractor frame or implement.

---61---

F. Operating instructions

F 7. Use of top link

65---51

NOTE! When using a top link turn the bracket towards
the tractor until it is fully touching the hydraulic top
link. Then there is no danger that the bracket fouls the
holder pin and damages the hydraulic top link.

1) If the hydraulic lift cannot raise the implement, this may
be due to incorrect position of the top link.

NOTE! The lifting force and lifting height are
dependant on which hole the top link is connected to
in the brackets on the tractor and on the implement.
Maximum lifting height (and minimum lifting force) =

top link in lower attaching hole on tractor and in upper
attaching hole on implement.
Maximum lifting force (and minimum lifting height) =
top link in upper attaching hole on tractor and in lower
attaching hole on implement.

When you are using a hydraulic top link, ensure that it
operates normally when you are attaching an implement.

65---52

2) The hydraulic lift has a greater lifting force when the top
link is moved upwards on the tractor and downwards
on the implement.

65---53

3) Top link set too long giving poor lifting height on rear
end of the implement.

65---54

4) Lifting height large at rear end since top link has been
lowered on the tractor and raised on the implement.

65---55

5) Draft control does not function since top link comes too
low on the tractor. The wheels spin.

65---56

6) The plough/plow does not sink to the required depth
(the top link must be adjusted horizontally). If the top
link is shortened in order to further the plough’s/plow’s
depth into the ground, care must be taken to hold the
plough/plow straight.

When ploughing/plowing, it is important that the
plough’s/plows body is in the same direction with the
ground surface both lengthways and sideways. If you alter
ploughing/plowing depth, the top link length and the lift
link gear must be readjusted. As a basic rule, the top link’s
end situated towards the plough/plow is set clearly higher
than the end situated towards the tractor.

NOTE: See also manufacture’s instructions.

G. Maintenance schedule

G. Maintenance schedule

G 1. Service

Correct maintenance at the right time is a basic condition
for reliable operation of the tractor. Maintenance costs are
small compared with any repair costs resulting from lack
of maintenance. The most important measures are those
which you carry out yourself and which include lubrication
and various checks and adjustments.

The service intervals shown apply for normal operating
conditions but in more severe conditions servicing should
be carried out more frequently.

G 1.1. General instructions concerning oil

checks and oil filling

--- Always stop the engine before doing any servicing
work.

--- Apply the parking brake to ensure the tractor cannot
move. If the ground is uneven the wheels should be
blocked.

--- Always observe the utmost cleanliness in all
maintenance work.

NOTE: Do not let the water get to the electrical
equipment when washing the machine.

--- Thoroughly wipe off filler caps and plugs as well as
surrounding parts of the tractor before filling up with fuel
or oil.

--- Inspect the oil and filters when changing. Large
amounts of dirt (e.g. heavily clogged filters) can point to
a fault which could cause extensive and costly repairs if
not corrected in time.

--- When carrying out checks the tractor should stand on
level ground.

--- Levels should be checked before driving when the oil is
cold and has had time to run down to the bottom of the
unit concerned.

--- When changing the oil, bear in mind that the oil can be
very hot when it drains from the tractor. Waste oil and oil
filters should be handled carefully and disposed of
properly.

--- Avoid touching the exhaust manifold, turbocharger and
other hot parts of the engine.

--- Keep the engine surfaces clean in order to avoid the risk
of fire.

--- The fuel, lubricating oil and coolant cause irritation to
skin if in contact for long periods.

--- After completion of any service work replace all safety
covers etc.

G 1.2. Lubrication of points provided with

grease nipples

--- Always clean the grease nipples before applying the
grease gun.

--- Pump in grease to the nipples until clean grease is
squeezed out (unless otherwise instructed).

--- Wipe off all surplus grease which has been squeezed
out at the lubricating points.

--- Preferably carry out lubrication with bearing points and
joints unloaded and with the bearings in different
positions ( e.g. lubricate the steering knuckle bearing on
the steering axle with the wheels at both full left and
right lock and with the front axle lifted up).

G 1.3. Lubrication and maintenance

schedule

NOTE: All intervals are counted from zero hours on the
hour recorder. For example, the 250 hours service is
carried out after 250, 500 hours etc. even if the
measures have been carried out at the guarantee
service (=100 hours service).
Example: The 500 hour service contains all items
mentioned under the 10 hr/daily and the 50 hr/weekly
checks as well as the 250 hr service.

G 1.4. Service inspection (at 100 hours)

Your dealer gives this cost--- free service inspection
(excluding oil and filter costs) after 100 hours running to
all new Valtra tractors.

The following steps should be taken:

20 Engine

--- Change engine oil and filter

--- Change prefilter of fuel system ( not models with in---line
pump)

--- Change fuel filter

40 Power transmission

--- Change filter

60 Steering system and front axle

--- Change oil in differential

--- Change oil in planetary gears

90 Hydraulic system

--- Change pressure filter and clean hydraulic pump
suction strainer

General

--- Lubricate according to chart

Biodiesel fuel

--- Valtra engines are able to use esterified rape oil as biodiesel fuel --- or RME (rape oil esterified with methanol) without
any technical modifications to the engine. The requirement for the acceptance is that the biodiesel that is used is very
pure and that it fills the Austria ”C 1190” biodieselnorm demands of pureness. Practically it means that the amount of
pure carbon, hydrogen and oxygen content together in the biodiesel is more than 99 %.

--- In the service instructions there is one change: checking cleaning of nozzles every 1000 hours.

Cetane number 4737 min. 51 ASTM D

Water content max. 200 mg/kg ASTM D 1744

The fuel must conform to the EN 590 standard.

G 2.2.1.

Fuel

--- The properties of light fuel oil that is only intended for
warming use do not meet the requirements of modern
diesel engines and cannot be used as fuel.

--- In particular, distributor--- type injector pumps require the
fuel to have sufficient lubricity, because they do not
have oil lubrication in the same way as typical multi ---el­ement pumps. Adding oil to diesel fuel is not recom­mended, because it causes carbon build --- up, and if oil
is mixed with even a small amount of water it will clog
the filter.

--- Additionally, various fuel quality requirements imposed
by taxation and seasonal changes have to be taken into
consideration.

G 2.2.2.

Fuel storage

--- Storing and distributing fuel must be arranged in condi­tions where no water or impurities can enter the storage
tanks. The storage tanks must be installed in a slanted
position, so that water and impurities are collected at
the opposite end from the suction pipe of the pump.
The suction pipe of the pump should not reach the bot­tom of the tank.

--- Water must be periodically drained from the tank in
order to prevent problems. Refueling at the same time
the tank is being refilled must be avoided without excep­tion.

--- When the tank is filled with winter---quality fuel in good
time, the engine is guaranteed to run flawlessly during
the cold season.

G 2.2.3.

Filter system

--- The engine’s standard filter system gives sufficient
protection for the injection system from impurities that
can be present in well --- tended distribution systems.

--- The control of distributor---type injection pumps is
based on internal pressure, which will drop if the fuel
system is clogged. If the pilot pressure drops too low,
engine power is reduced, smoke increased and starting
becomes more difficult. Additionally, water in the injec­tion system will destroy it in a very short time. For this

reason, the water trap and the filters must always be
serviced according to the specified amount of run­ning hours.

--- It is also important always to use original Valtra (or Sisu

Diesel) fuel filters. They guarantee sufficient filtration,
preventing impurities from damaging the fuel system.
There are many cheap filter kits (so---called pirates) on
the market, with lower quality and performance in order
to minimise the cost. Among other things, the quality
and amount of filter paper are often insufficient. There
are also often dangerous defects in the basic structure
that may cause expensive damage even in a short
period of time.

G 3. Grease

Always use the following greases in Valtra tractors. Each
point requires it own type of grease.

Valtra Grease

Universal grease

A

A low---pressure indicator with a warning lamp is

connected to the air cleaner. When the lamp (A) lights up
on the instrument panel, the filter must be cleaned. If the
warning light illuminates quickly in dusty conditions,
check the ejector pipe (1) is fitted properly (800, 900), the
models 600 and 700 have dustvalves.

Cleaning:

--- Always stop the engine before cleaning. A blockage of
the air filter is indicated by a change of the engine beat,
smoky exhaust and reduction of engine power.

--- Check the inside of the air cleaner housing and the inlet
pipe. Dirt on these parts indicates that the filter element
is defective or has not been fitted properly.

--- Clean the filter element with compressed air, max.
pressure 500 kPa, or with an effective vacuum cleaner.

NOTE: The filter element must not be cleaned more
than 5 times, after which it must be replaced. The filter
must be changed every 1000 hours in accordance with
the maintenance requirement:--- change of the safety
filter.

--- Hold up the filter element against the light (or shine a

flashlight through the centre hole) and inspect the
element.

--- If any holes are noticed the filter element must be

changed.

Filters fitting, see maintenance point 32 on page 79.

1

The oil lever should come between the max. and min.
marks on the dipstick (1). Adding oil should be done
through the oil filler cap (2). Stop the engine and allow it
to stand for a few minutes before checking the level so
that all the oil has had time to run down into the sump.
The distance between the marks corresponds to 1.5 liters
of oil. Oil qualityis to be in accordance with the table on
page 63.

H 2.2. Check coolant level and radiator

fins (2)

69---60,3

DANGER! The radiator cap (1) must not be
opened when the system is hot, as the cap
has no position for relieving the pressure
before opening. DANGER FOR SCALDING!

CAUTION: If it is needed to open both caps when the
system is hot, do it in the following order:

4

1

3

2

69---60,2

--- ALWAYS open the cap (3) of the expansion tank ) (2)
first. Open the expansion tank cap carefully. When
running the tractor the expansion tank has
overpressure (0.7 bar).

--- After that open the radiator cap (1).

The expansion tank has a liquid level sign (4) where the
liquid level must be when it is cold. Hot liquid level is
higher.

CAUTION: The coolant pump is provided with a drain
hole underneath which must not be blocked. On a new
engine a certain amount of leakage can occur before
the pump has had time to run itself in.

Freezing resistance of coolant

Check the freezing resistance of the coolant at the start of
the cold season. If the freezing resistance is low, drain off
the necessary amount of coolant and refill with the correct
mixture of coolant and anti---freeze.

WARNING: Never use water only as coolant.

Ensure that a recommended coolant is always used, this
should be a mix of water and glycol..

Check the radiator core and clean if needed.

When cleaning use air pressure or a water hose.

The belt is suitably tensioned when it can be pressed in
about 20 mm (0.79 in) with the thumb halfway between
the belt pulleys. Remove the finger shield if necessary.

Tensioning fan belt:

--- Loosen the alternator attaching bolts

--- Turn the alternator until the fan belt is suitably tensioned

--- Tighten the alternator attaching bolts.

Check that the fan belt is in good condition when
adjusting. A slack, worn and/or oily fan belt can cause
problems with battery charging and the cooling system.
Always keep a spare fan belt handy.

If the tractor is equipped with a compressor, also check
and tension its drive belt.

NOTE: If the finger shield is removed make sure you
re--- fit it.

H 3.6. Check electrolyte level in

battery (8)

69---63

Electrolyte level

---71---

H. Periodic maintenance

--- Check that the electrolyte level comes about 5 ---10 mm
(0.2--- 0.4 in) over the battery cell plates.

--- Top up with distilled water if necessary.

--- Never top up the battery with acid only and never use a
naked flame when checking the electrolyte level.

NOTE: If the water in the battery evaporates too
quickly, it may be a sign that the charging voltage is
too high. Keep the outside of the battery clean and dry.
Protect the battery and cable terminals with special
grease.

NOTE: In winter it is very important to allow the engine
to run for a little while after topping up with distilled
water, otherwise the water can freeze before it has
mixed properly with the battery acid.

WARNING: Be carefully with the battery
solution---danger from corrosion!

pressure may cause the tyre/tire to explode.

It is recommended that the changing of tyres/tires and
wheels is carried out in a professional tyre/tire workshop
which is equiped to handle this type of work.

DANGER!
When welding the discs the tyre/tire must be
away from the rim/ disc, DANGER OF
EXPLOSION!

When mounting the tyre/tire on the disc the pressure limit
is 250 kPa. If the tyre/tire does not go on the disc properly,
remove it and refit. When the tyre/tire is positioned
correctly on the disc, inflate to correct pressure.

CAUTION: In work where the hydraulic system is
subjected to abnormally heavy pollution (e.g. when
running with tipping trailers) the suction strainer must
be cleaned at shorter intervals. If the pump begins to
”shriek”, the engine should be stopped, the suction
strainer cleaned and the viscosity of the oil checked
against the manufacturer’s recommendations.

H 6.5.1. Removing and cleaning

--- Place the tractor with the front end higher so that less oil
runs out.

--- Loosen the wing nut on the end of the housing and
place a funnel or similar under the housing to collect up
the oil.

--- Remove the cover and drain off the oil into a suitable
container.

--- Replace the cover together with the seal and tighten the
wing nut by hand

--- Check the oil level in the hydraulic system.

CAUTION: Look for any foaming of the oil when
starting up again (check through the filling opening).
Foaming indicates that the cover seal is leaking and
must be changed or retightened.

H 6.6. Clean fuel tank (30)

Always clean the fuel tank at the start of the winter
season. This avoids problems with condensation in the
fuel tank. Always make sure that the tank is as full as
possible so that condensation is prevented.

--- Empty the tank and rinse it with clean diesel fuel. Screw
in the drain plug again.

--- Fill up with new fuel (if you suspect that fuel is not clean,
use a fine gauze strainer).

--- Always stop the engine before draining the coolant.

DANGER: The radiator cap can not be
opened when the system is hot, because
the cap has no clamp position, which would
remove the pressure before opening.

--- ALWAYS open the cap (1) of the expansion tank first.
Open the expansion tank cap carefully. At running
temperature the expansion tank has overpressure
(0.7 bar).

---82---

H. Periodic maintenance

--- Loosen the lower water pipe (2) (remove the finger
shield if necessary). The best way to drain the system is
to loosen the upper end of the pipe and then loosen the

---83---

H. Periodic maintenance

H 7.4. Check and clean injectors (42)

A3565---123

When using biodiesel the checking and cleaning of the
injectors must be done after every 1000 hours.
For the engine to produce full power the injectors must be
in perfect condition. Checking and cleaning should be
carried out by an authorized workshop.

Symptoms of dirty or defective injectors:

--- Knocking indicates a fault on one or more of the
injectors. Knocking can occur on a cold engine when
running at idling speed. When knocking occurs at
normal working temperature this indicates that the
injectors are not functioning property.

--- Air in the fuel system can also cause knocking
(disappears after the system has been bled).

--- Smokey exhaust gases are another symptom of poor
function of the injectors (can also be due to other
reasons, e.g. blocked air cleaner).

H 7.5. Change brake fluid (43)

69---69,1

It is recommended that the brake fluid be changed every
second year or after 2000 hours of operation.

--- Empty the brake fluid reservoir, open the bleed nipples.
It is better to place hoses from the nipples into a con­tainer, as the fluid corrodes the paint. Pump the brake
pedal until all brake fluid in the pipes and cylinders has
run out.

--- Fill the brake system with new brake fluid.

--- Bleed the brake system of air (see Checks and Adjust­ments on page 90).

If the tractor is equipped with the trailer brake valve and /
or air pressure brakes as extra equipment, open also their
bleed nipples to drain the hoses. The brakes must also be
bleeded from the nipples:

--- the fluid brakes of the trailer, see the bleeding instructi­ons on page 123.

--- the air pressure brakes, see the bleeding instructions on
page 121.

The correct amount of brake fluid is 0.3 liter.

65---86,1

If the tractor is equipped with the push buttons for HiShift
as extra equipment, change the brake fluid. The brake
fluid reservoir for HiShift is to the left side of the battery.
Empty the brake fluid reservoir by loosening the hose
coming from the reservoir from the valve side.
The correct amount of brake fluid is 0.3 liter.

WARNING: Brake fluid is corrosive and
poisonous and must be handled carefully at
all times (it also corrodes the paint).

For trouble free functioning make sure that the air and oil
filters are in good condition, that they are changed
according to schedule and that the fuel system is kept
clean. Note particularly that the air filter must be clean and
have good flow ---through properties. Regularly check the
attachment of the turbo unit on the exhaust system and
the attachment of the intake and exhaust manifolds on the
turbo unit.

Vibration or abnormal engine noise are usual symptoms
of incorrect function of the turbo unit.

Where any defects are suspected, have the turbo unit
checked by an authorized workshop as soon as
possible.

I 1. Engine

I 1.1. Bleeding fuel system

There should be no air in the fuel system to ensure that
the motor function is of maximum efficiency. The system
automaticly removes the small guantity of air which has
built up in the filters and injection pump. The fuel system
must be bled if any part of it has been removed or if the
tractor has run out of fuel during driving so that air has
entered the system. Bleed the fuel system as follows:

I 1.1.1. Bleeding distributor pump system of

air

69---88

1. Pump by hand the lever (1) on the fuel pump. If
pumping feels ineffective, turn the engine a little, so the
camshaft turns away from the line of the pump arm.

69---89

2

2. Open the bleed screw (2). Operate the hand pump (1)
until there are no air bubbles in the fuel which runs out.
Tighten screw (2).

NOTE! Do not open the bleed screw above the
prefilter, as it is in the suction side.

3. Continue pumping and open the bleeding union (3)
which is in the middle of the rearside of the pump, until
there are no air bubbles in the fuel which runs out.
Tighten the union.

CAUTION: When the pump is empty of fuel, do not
leave the tractor switched on for a long time, as there
is a stop solenoid in the injection pump which could
be damaged.

After bleeding the system as detailed above, the fuel
pump will fill up once the starter motor starts to turn the
engine.

4. Start the engine and check that there are no leaks.

A3565---125,1

The bleeding of the in---line pump system differs from the
bleeding of the distributor pump system as follows:

--- The fuel hand priming pump (1) is located beside the
injection pump. Continue pumping a few times to fill the
injection pump, then tighten the bleeding screw (2)

--- The fuel from the injection pump can also be bled
through the overflow valve (3) after bleeding the fuel
filters.

Allways bleed the fuel pipe of the glow plug, if the pipe or
the fuel container is empty e.g. after service. damage to
the glow plug can occur due to the lack of fuel when
starting the engine.

--- If the container (1) has become empty, fill it with a drip
can through the breather hole (2) on the cover.

--- Open the glow plug pipe adapter (3).

I 1.2. Air cleaner

69---90

The air cleaner prevents dust and other dirt from entering
the engine with the induction air. Engine wear is largely
dependent on the cleanliness of the induction air so it is
very important to check the air cleaner regularly and to
maintain it correctly.

CAUTION: The safety filter inside the main filter must
not be cleaned but must always be changed according
to the maintenance schedule. The purpose of the
safety filter is to prevent damage to the engine if the
main filter should fail.

I 1.2.1. Maintenance of main filter

A3565---127

The air filter must not be cleaned more than five times,
after which time it must be replaced. Check when cleaning
that the filter and its seals are undamaged. A damaged
filter must always be replaced.

NOTE: Never clean or remove the air filter unless it is
absolutely necessary. When removing the air filter
there is always the possibility that dirt can enter the
induction system of the engine.

---87---

I. Checks and adjustments

Cleaning the main filter

A3565---128

Use clean and dry compressed air with a max. pressure of
500 kPa (5 bar).

1. Direct the air flow against the inside of the filter along
the folds. Do not hold the nozzle closer than 3 --- 5 cm.

2. Then direct the air flow against the outside of the filter
along the folds and after this against the inside of the
filter again.

3. Check the filter and its sealing surfaces by means of a
torch. Replace the filter if any holes or other defects are
discovered.

NOTE: See service instructions on page 67 and
replace safety filter in the air cleaner (maintenance
every 1000 hours or yearly page 79).

I 1.3. Maintenance--- cooling system

A3565---129

The following action should be taken to make sure that
the cooling system functions correctly:

--- Check the coolant level (see maintenance program daily
checks).

--- Check the fan belt tension (see maintenance program
weekly checks).

--- Clean the radiator honeycomb externally by means of
compressed air or by flushing through with water.

I 1.3.1. Coolant

The cooling system is filled with a mixture of water and
anti--- freeze agent on delivery. The anti --- freeze agent also
has the property of preventing rust from forming in the
cooling system. However, the anti--- rust properties of the
agent diminish with time so that it is important to change
the coolant at regular intervals. A suitable mixture is half
anti--- freeze agent and half water but the manufacturer’s
directions should always be followed (see cleaning of
cooling system, Service at 2000 hrs intervals on page 81).

I 2. Electrical system

I 2.1. Checking and maintenance of

battery

A3565---130

--- Check the charge of the battery with an acid tester. Min.

1.23.

--- Check fan belt tension.

--- Keep the battery clean. It can be washed with lukewarm
water after removal from the tractor (always disconnect
the negative lead first).

--- Also clean the pole studs, the cable terminals and the
battery retainer thoroughly. Wash off oxidized spots with
water.

--- Wipe the outside of the battery, and coat the pole studs
and the cable terminals with petroleum jelly.

--- Refit the battery (always connect the positive lead first).

WARNING:
Avoid sparking or naked flames near the
battery. The battery gives off hydrogen gas
which is highly explosive. The battery
electrolyte is corrosive.

I 2.2. Alternator

69---91

The tractor has a negative --- grounded alternator which

can easily be damaged if an incorrect connection is made
in the electrical system. For example, connection of the
battery with wrong polarity can burn out the alternator or
rectifier. The electrical charging circuit must not be
broken when the engine is running.

I 2.3. Safety precautions for the electrical

system

--- Always connect the battery with the correct polarity.

--- Disconnect the negative lead of the battery first and
connect it last.

---Never brake the charging circuit while the engine is
running.

--- Disconnect the battery negative lead before removing
the alternator from the engine.

--- Arrange enough ventilation to prevent the build---up of
explosive gases in and around the battery.

CAUTION: The battery leads (negative first)
and the alternator wiring must be
disconnected before arc welding is carried
out on the tractor or an implement which is
attached to it.

Never run the engine with the alternator disconnected.
Do not connect any additional electrical equipment, as
this may damage components of the existing electrical
system.

I 2.3.1. Fuses

65---92,4

4321 5 4321 5 4321 54321 5 4321 54321 5

The fuse box is placed under the instrument panel. It is
divided into four parts. The fuse rating is as follows: 5A
(six), 10A (three), 15A (six), 20 A (three) and 25 A (two). In
the component list the fuses are numbered from left to
right.

Fuses must not be replaced with ones of a higher
rating, as this may cause damage to the electrical

equipment. The fuse list is on the component list of the
wiring diagram on page 108.

When you need a continuous electrical supply eg. to the
implement, illumination etc. power can be taken from the
trailer connection (see page 53). With the implement
control system (optional equipment) electrical power to
the optional equipment can be switched on and off from
the driver’s cab.

Power for optional equipment can also be taken from the
spare fuses or unused optional equipment fuses. A
continuous power source can be connected from the
main current pole of the starter motor (on the models with
main circuit breaker, power is switched off with main
switch) through the new fuse.

I 2.4. Headlight adjustment

A3565---132

Correct adjustment of the headlights is very important

when running on the public road.
Headlight adjustment can be carried out quickly and
accurately by using an optical headlight adjusting unit. If
no optical instrument is available, adjustment can be done
as follows.

With dipped---beam switched on, the cutoff edge of the
light pattern should come at height H when the tractor is
at distance L. With full---beam switched on, the distance
between the light points should be B. Any necessary
adjustment is done by using the headlamp adjusting
screws.

Measurements:

L = 5 m
B = Center distance between headlights
H = Height of headlights above ground minus

50 mm

If tractor has up lifted full/dipped beam headlights (on the
top part of the cab), the lights have to be adjusted so, that
the light pattern shines on the mark at a distance of 30 m
on even ground.

free travel should be 20--- 25 mm. Carry out adjustment as
follows:

--- Slacken lock nut A.

--- Screw the adjusting rod with nut B until the pedal free
travel is correctly adjusted. Tighten the lock nut.

--- When the restricting sleeve comes up against the lock
nut further adjustment of the pedal free travel is no
longer possible, therefore, the clutch disc must be
changed. The measurement (17 ---19 mm) shown in the
figure applies to a clutch with new disc.

--- Slacken the brake rods 1 turn and check that the wheels
can rotate freely.

--- Check by driving with the pedals connected together
that the brakes do not pull to one side.

Check the pedals free travel.

I 4.2. Adjusting parking brake

The parking brake is controlled mechanically and it is con­nected to the foot brake mechanism by a cable.
The parking brake is adjusted in the factory and re ---ad­justment is not necessary unless parts of brake mechan-

ism have been changed (the parking brake is affected
when the foot brakes are adjusted).

When necessary, adjust parking brake lever free travel to
about 50 mm (at lever end) by turning the adjusting nut
(2) at the rear end of the cable.

NOTE: Always adjust the driving brakes before adjust­ing the parking brake.

I 4.3. Bleeding brake system of air

NOTE: Check that the brake fluid reservoir (3) is full
before starting to bleed the system.

---91---

I. Checks and adjustments

Bleed the brakes as the following (the brake pe-

dals should not be latched together

):

--- Depress one of the brake pedals and at the same time
open the bleed nipple (4) on the brake which is being
actuated by the pedal. Before depressing the brake
pedal and opening the bleeding nipple, pump several
times with the pedal in order to build up the pressure in
the system.

--- Depress the brake pedal fully and close the nipple and
slowly let the brake pedal up again.

--- Repeat the pumping action with the brake pedal until
the brake fluid which runs out at the bleeding nipple is
completely free of air.

--- The procedure for bleeding the brake is the same on
both sides.

--- Check the brake fluid amount in the reservoir after
bleeding and top up if required.

If the tractor is equipped with the trailer brake valve and /
or air pressure brakes, they must be bled before bleeding
the brakes, because their bleeding nipples are placed
lower down:

--- the fluid brakes of the trailer, see the bleeding instructi-

ons on page 123.

turn fully. If necessary adjust the steering lock stops on

the powered front axle.
To carry out the adjustment slacken the locking nuts (1)
and adjust the adjusting screws (2). After adjusting tighten
the locking nuts.

NOTE: Adjust the adjusting screws of both sides to the
same length, so that the turning angle is the same on
both sides.

I 6. Adjusting track width

When track widths are adjusted or larger tyres/tires
fitted, the turning angles have to be checked/adjusted
for max turning angle of the front axle on both sides.
Check also when using chains that the distance from

the cab to the tyres/tires does not go below 80 mm.
Check that the distance from parking lights to the
outer sides of the tyres/tires does not exceed 400 mm.

I 6.1. Front axle

Apply the parking brake or scotch the rear wheels to
ensure the tractor cannot move.

The standard track widths are underlined.

Adjusting front and rear wheel track widths is done in the
same way.

Track width can be adjusted by changing the position of
the wheel rim in relation to the central disc or by turning
the wheel around (as shown above). Make sure that the
arrows on the upper part of the tyres/tires are pointing
forwards.

CAUTION: When altering the track width or fitting a
front--- mounted loader, check that the wheels do not

go too far at maximum steering lock and axle pivoting
movement, if necessary restrict the steering lock with
the limiters fitted on the axle.

CAUTION: The toe ---in of the front wheels must be
checked again after any adjustment of the track width.
The widest track width must not be used when running
with large front --- mounted loaders. (Loadings on the
section ”Specifications” see page 96).

Lubricate the wheel nuts and tighten them to the
recommended values. Wheel nuts must be retightened
periodically (see technical specifications).

--- the loading on these two wheels together can be multiplied by 1.76 of the permissible loading on one wheel.

--- using twin ---mounted wheels is for decreasing the surface pressure, not for obtaining better side support

--- do not exceed tyre/tire size stated for the model, see table J 3, when using dual/extension wheels

--- the track width of the inner wheels has to be adjusted to minimum value.

--- when needed limited turning angle
