General Construction
The transmission case, clutch, clutch housing, engine and front axle support are bolted together to form
a rigid unit.
Front Axle & Wheels
The 4WD front axle is a center-pivot, reverse eliot type. The front wheel drive mechanism is incorporated as
a part of the axle.
The front wheel drive power is taken off the rear transmission and transmitted to the differential in the front
axle where the power is divided into right and left and to the respective final cases.
In the final cases, the transmitted revolution is reduced by the level gears to drive the front wheel. The 4WD
mechanism with level gears provides wider steering and greater durability.
Engine
The tractors are fitted with fuel efficient Turbo charged engines with 4 cylinders of HORTUS HS65 designed
by DEUTZ Engines Company.
Clutch and transmission
A single plate dry clutch (11.81'' diameter) is used on these tractors. Tractor with IPTO (Independent Power
Take Off) are fitted with hydraulic clutch assy. The transmission gear box has twenty four forward & twenty
four reverse speeds of HORTUS HS65 with high-low selector lever, Presently, Zetor tractors are fitted with
partial synchro mesh type gears.
Brakes
Zetor tractors are provided with independent disc brakes operated by two road travel. Hand brake lever is
fitted for parking.
Rear axle & wheels
This is mounted on ball bearings and is enclosed in removable housing which are bolted to the transmission
case. The rim & disc fitted with rear tires are bolted to the outer flange of rear axle.
Hydraulic System & Linkages
Zetor tractors are fitted with live (i.e. system is in operation even when clutch is disengaged.) independent,
very touch of hydraulic System. Three point linkages can be used for category 2 type of implements.
Steering
It consists of hydrostatic power steering system, which has a hydraulic cylinder and tandem type hydraulic
pump.
Electrical System
A 12 Volt Lead Acid Propylene Battery is used to activate the Engine through the Starter Motor and the
Electrical system comprising Horn, Head Lamp. Side indicator Lamps, Plough Lamp, Brake Light, Gauge
lamp, Hazard Lamp. Generator or Alternator, Fuse box also from part of the Electrical system.

ROPS (Roll Over Protective Structures)
Roll Over Protective Structures (ROPS)
Zetor tractors are equipped with a frame for the protection of operators.
In the case of cab tractors the frame is incorporated in the cab structure.
The objective of the frame or cab structure is to protect the operator in the event of a roll over and they are
designed to support the entire weight of the tractor in that event.
Each Zetor ROPS frame or cab structure is designed and has been tested to meet industry and or
government standards.
Included in these tests were all mounting bases and bolts or other fasteners.
Danger: For ROPS frames to be effective and protect the operator, the seat belt provided must
be worn in order to keep operators within the ROPS protected area in the event of a roll over. Failure
to use the seat belt can still cause serious injury or death.
On some models the ROPS frame has a fold down feature, which can be used to enter low buildings etc.
Take care when lowering the upper section of the ROPS frame and take extreme care while driving the
tractor with the ROPS frame lowered.
Do not wear the seat belt with the ROPS lowered and please remember that the fold down facility is for
special circumstances only and must not be lowered for general use.
Use of the tractor with the ROPS lowered can cause fatal injuries!
As the ROPS frame or cab together with the seat belt was designed to meet certain standards, they must be
maintained in good order and condition. To achieve this objective, both the structure and the seat belt should
be inspected on a regular basis. (Every time the tractor is serviced)
In the event that the seat belt is damaged or frayed, it
should be replaced and in the event that the ROPS frame
or any part of the mounting structure is damaged or
cracked, the faulty component must be replaced with
a new unit. Such a unit must meet all of the test criteria of
the original unit. Fitment of an inferior item or items affects
the certification of the entire ROPS structure and the
effectiveness of the structure in the event of an accident.
Drilling or welding of the ROPS structure is forbidden.
HODP006
Damage of the ROP
S
GENERAL INFORMATION
17
If the tractor has rolled over or the ROPS has damaged (such as striking an overhead object during
transport), it must be replaced to provide the original protection. After an accident, check for damages to the
1. ROPS. 2. Seat. 3. seat belt & seat mountings. Before you operate a tractor, replace all damaged parts.
Warning: Do not weld, drill or straighten the ROPS.
Warning: Never attach chains, ropes to the ROPS for pulling purposes; this will cause the
tractor to tip backwards. Always pull from the tractor drawbar. Be careful when driving through door
opening or under low overhead objects. Make sure there is sufficient overhead clearance for the
ROPS fatal injuries.
Warning: If the ROPS is removed or replaced, make certain that the proper hardware is used to
replace the ROPS and the recommended torque values are applied to the attaching bolts.

DESCRIPTION OF TRACTOR CONTROLS
43
The following pages in this section detail the location and function of various instruments, switches and
controls on your tractor. Even if you operate other tractors, you should read through this section of the
manual and ensure that you are thoroughly familiar with the location and function of all the features of your
new tractor.
Do not start the engine or attempt to drive or operate the tractor until you are fully accustomed to all the
controls. It is too late to learn once the tractor is moving. If in doubt about any aspect of the operation of the
tractor consult your Zetor tractor dealer / distributor.
Particular attention should be paid to the recommendations for running-in to ensure that your tractor will give
long life and dependable service for which it was intended.

The PTO Monitor Lamp
The PTO monitor lamp on the dash panel indicates the
state of the PTO shaft.
1. If the monitor glows: The PTO is rotating.
2. If the monitor is off: The PTO is off.
3. If the monitor blinks: The PTO is presently
stationary but will instantly start rotating of the
clutch pedal is released or the implement is
lowered.
HODP049
PTO On / Off Switch
Two switches operate the independent PTO.
PTO ''On / Off'' switch: PTO ''On / Off'' switch is situated
on the LHS. on the steering column and can be identified
easily with its built in red colored indicator.
When the switch is pushed down to start the PTO
indicator glows to indicate that the switch and the PTO are
in ''On'' position, if the switch is pushed down again the
indicator goes off signaling that the PTO is ''Off''.
PTO Control Switch
This switch is situated near the starting key location on the
dash panel. There are three positions marked for this
switch.
z ''Off'' at the center.
z ''Manual'' at the left.
z ''Auto'' at the right.

z From the table above we learn about the safety features of the PTO. When the monitor on the dash
panel is blinking it indicates to the operator that the PTO is in the ''On'' position but temporarily not
rotating either because the clutch pedal is pressed or the implement is lifted off the ground or both.
The PTO will start rotating instantaneously when either the clutch pedal is released and / or the
implement is lowered to the ground.
z The operator must use this blinking signal to clear the area around the tractor off bystanders /
onlookers as the rotating blades of certain implements can accidentally cause injuries to the persons
standing near the tractor.
z The stopping of the PTO when the implement is lifted off the ground with the position control prevents
the damage to the implement or the PTO shaft.
Warning: When the PTO control switch is in manual position the PTO does not stop rotating
even if the clutch pedal is pressed. If working on hard soils, pavements with a rotary implement the
PTO ''On / Off'' switch must be put to the ''Off'' position to stop the PTO from rotating , if this is not
done the rotating blades of the implement will push on the hard ground below and in turn push the
tractor toward causing accident which can lead to serious injuries or death.
Warning:
z Extra precaution must be taken to clear the area of bystanders / onlookers when using PTO
driven implements. The rotating blades of the implements can cause serious injuries on
contact. The warning that is indicated by the blinking PTO monitor is to make the operator
aware that the PTO is in on position and will instantly start rotating if the clutch pedal is
released or implement is lowered or both.
z In no case the specified rotating speeds indicated by the implement manufacturer be crossed
as the same can lead to serious damage to the tractor / equipment and can lead to serious
injuries to persons around.

Use the engine's ability to brake when traveling downhill.
Never rely on the brakes only and never travel downhill with the gears in neutral.
Caution:
z When operating in hilly terrain the risk of the rollover is increased substantially, please drive
with extra care.
z When towing trailers in hilly terrain ensure that they are equipped with brakes, use a lower
gear to get maximum engine braking and do not change gears on a down hill run.
Operation of the Diff-Lock
While the diff lock is a very useful feature, care should be taken in its use as misuse can lead to dangerous
situations. The diff lock would only be used in situations where traction is lost on one of the rear wheels.
Warning:
z Use low engine revolutions when using the diff lock.
z If the diff lock does not release after removing the foot from the pedal use the left and right
brake pedals in turn to release it.
z Do not try to engage or use the diff lock on tight turns as serious damage can result.
Check During Driving
Constantly monitor the warning lights on the dash and if any comes on stop the tractor to determine the
cause.
Oil Pressure Light
If the oil pressure light comes on check the oil level first of
all.
If the oil level is OK ask a qualified dealer to check the
reason for the light coming on.

Fuel Gauge
To avoid excessive condensation in the fuel tank refill at
the end of each day's work and ensure during the day that
it does not drop to a low level where the fuel system will
require bleeding to expel air in the system after refilling the

Connecting and Disconnecting Implement
OPERATION
73
Connection
1. Make sure to stop the engine before connecting it.
2. Move the double acting valve lever forward and backward for 4 to 5 times to release the pressure in
the hydraulic line of the tractor. Otherwise, it is hard to connect the couplers, and hydraulic fluid can
be sprayed from the line and get in to your eyes while connecting them.
3. Remove any foreign material around the male and female couplers. If foreign material enters the
hydraulic components, it can lead to malfunction of the system.
4. Open the dust-proof cover of the female coupler of the tractor and insert the male coupler of the
implement. A clicking sound is heard when the couplers are engaged.
5. Pull the hydraulic hose of the implement to check that the couplers are properly connected.
6. Start the engine and check the operating status and leakage.
Disconnection
1. Make sure to stop the engine before disconnecting it.
2. Release any residual pressure in the hydraulic hoses of the implement and tractor by operating the
double acting valve lever 4 to 5 times.
3. Remove any foreign material around the couplers.
4. Keep the implement balanced by removing any load applied (lowering it onto the ground, for
example). If disconnecting the hose while outer load is applied to the implement, it is hard to connect
the implement in the future.
5. Remove the male coupler by pushing the female coupler boss of the tractor backward.
6. Close the dust-proof cover of the female coupler of the tractor. Wrap the male coupler of the
implement with a plastic bag to prevent contamination.
Warning:
z Never connect or disconnect the implement hydraulic hose while the pressure in it is not
released or the engine is running. It is hard to connect and disconnect the hose and hydraulic
fluid can be sprayed from the hose, and get into your eyes or skin.
z Stop the engine and wear protective glasses and gloves before work.

General Information
This section gives full details of the service procedures necessary to maintain your tractor at peak efficiency
while the lubrication and maintenance chart provides a ready reference to these requirements
Service inspections
Service inspections are performed as follows:
The first service inspection at the state of the engine hour counter of 50 EH maximum, but not later than
6 months after commissioning of the tractor. The second service inspection after covering another 450 EH
(at the state of the engine hour counter of 500 EH maximum) but not later than 12 months after the first
service inspection. Next service inspections always after covering another 500 EH but not later than 12
months after the previous service inspection. The service inspections are a part of tractor maintenance. The
services authorized by Zetor will provide professional performance of service inspections according to the
manufacturer's instructions.
Pre-Start Checks
To avoid problems it is recommended that a range of checks be carried out daily before starting the tractor.
Checking Engine Coolant
Inspection
Check that the coolant level in the reservoir is between the
MAX. and MIN. levels. If insufficient, add coolant to the
reservoir.
