*AIR FILTER WITH ACTIVE CARBON
Filters with active carbon are installed instead of the standard dust filter and they are
replaced in the same way as the normal filters. The filter must be inserted with the
white side towards the grill. You will find the installation instructions in the “Maintenance instructions” chapter.
The filter is only used during spraying of pesticides; then it must be replaced with a
paper filter again as flying dust would clog the carbon filter in a very short time.
During its use the recirculation control must be in the position of “air suctioned from
the outside”
The fan control must be in the “maximum” position.
• WARNING: The filter does not provide complete protection from toxic substances
• When handling the filter wear protective gloves
• Do not clean or blow the filter with compressed air.
DANGER: Replace the active carbon filter every 200 hours or 36 months (the
production date is printed on the filter). If you feel the smell of pesticides in the
cab, replace the filter immediately and have the cab sealing checked. Used filters must be disposed of in specialized collection centres.
27
When pesticides are sprayed and
a heating filter with active carbon
is used, the recirculation control
must be in the “air suctioned from
the outside” position and the fan
control in the “maximum” position
to create overpressure in the cab.

CONTROL OF AIR CIRCULATION IN
THE CAB (D)
a - Surrounding (external) air is suctioned
to the cab via filters - air suctioning
from the cab is closed.
b - Air is suctioned from the inside of the
cab and blown into the cab again (air
recirculation fast quick adjustment of
temperature in the cab).
In this position the air inlet from
the outside of the cabin is completely closed and in the cabin
there is no overpressure that prevents penetration of unfiltered air
to the cabin!
Do not use this position of the
control during working operation
of the tractor!
PROPER FUNCTION OF THE HEATING
AND AIR-CONDITIONING SYSTEM
To ensure proper functioning of the heating or air-conditioning system it is necessary to create overpressure in the cab.
Therefore, we recommend you to close
all the windows, doors and tilting lid of
the cabin.
FAST HEATING OF THE CAB SPACE
Proceed as follows:
1 - Turn the heating valve control (A) to
the right position (heating valve fully
open).
2 - Set the control of air circulation in the
cab (D) to the internal circulation position.
3 - Use the fan control (B) to select the
corresponding fan speed (position 1,
2, 3)
4 - Set the outlets to the required angle to
avoid direct blowing of air to the persons in the cab.
5 - After heating of the cab space set the
control of air circulation in the cab (D)
to the position of suctioning external
air - see fig. F_02_17b, position (a).

QUICK COOLING OF THE CAB
SPACE
Proceed as follows:
6 - Turn the heating valve control (A) to
the left position.
7 - Set the control of air circulation in the
cab (D) to the position of suctioning
external air.
8 - Use the fan control (B) to select the
corresponding fan speed (position 1,
2, 3)
9 - Use the switch (C) to switch on the air-
conditioning system.
10 - Set the outlets to the required angle
to avoid blowing of air directly to the
persons in the cabin (possible occurrence of an illness due to intensive
cooling of body parts).
HEATING OR AIR-CONDITIONING
OPERATION DURING WORK OF THE
TRACTOR
When internal air circulation is on, the
fresh air inlet is closed and the air in the
cab space may be breathed up by the
operators. This situation may cause the
feeling of tiredness and further due to
overpressure loss in the cab dust may
penetrate to the cab.
Note: During work set the switch (D) in
accordance with individual requirements
to a temperature in a position between
(a) and (b) so that the fan can suction air
from the outside via filters.
IMMEDIATELY AFTER COOLING
DOWN THE CAB
Immediately after cooling of the cab and
reduction of the internal temperature to
the required value we recommend you
to:
− Perform smooth regulation of air temperature with the air-conditioning on by
partially opening the heating valve (A).
At this setting the air entering the cabin
from the outlets is not dried so intensively.
− You can also smoothly regulate the air
temperature with the air-conditioning
on by reducing the fan output by
switching the control (B) to position 1
or 2.
