INTRODUCTION & DESCRIPTION
12
General construction
The transmission case, clutch, clutch housing, engine and front axle support are bolted together to form
a rigid unit.
Front Axle and 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.
Clutch and transmission
A single plate dry clutch (10.24' diameter) is used on these tractors. Tractor with PTO (Power Take Off) are
fitted with hydraulic clutch assy the transmission gear box has 16 forward & 16 revers speds of 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. A foot brake lever is
fitted for parking.
Rear axle and 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 and 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 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.
Warning: When operating the tractor at High speed, Do not attempt to make sharp turns by
using the brakes. This may result in overturning of the Tractor causing serious injury or DEATH.
Roll over protective structures (ROPS)
ROPS (ROLL OVER PROTECTION STRUCTURES)
13
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.
Damage of the ROPS
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.
UCL18N003
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.
Warning: Always wear your seat belt if the tractor is equipped with ROPS.

Before operating a Tractor it is important to adjust the seat to the most comfortable position & check whether
it is properly locked in its position. Figure 1 identifies the seat fitted to your Tractor.
NOTE: Do not use solvents to clean the seat. Use warm water with a little detergent added.
Caution: Do not put a hand between the seat and the slides when adjusting the seat position.
You can get injured unexpectedly.
To select seat position, move adjusting lever and slide seat closer to or away from dash panel and controls.
Danger: Check whether the seat properly locked in its position before driving the tractor.
Danger: Always use the seat belt when the ROPS is installed. Do not use the seat belt if
a foldable ROPS is down or there is no ROPS. Check the seat belt regularly and replace if frayed or
damaged.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS, DO'S & DON'TS
18
The Roll Over Protective Structure (ROPS) has been
certified to industry and/or government standards. Any
damage or alternation to the ROPS, mounting hard-ware,
or seat belt voids the certification and will reduce or
eliminate protection for the operator in the event of a rollover. The ROPS, mounting hardware, and seat belt
should be checked after the first 100 hours of tractor and
every 500 hours thereafter for any evidence of damage,
wear or cracks. In the event of damage or alternation, the
ROPS must be replaced prior to further operation of the
tractor.
The seat belt must be worn during machine operation
when the machine is equipped with a certified ROPS
Failure to do so will reduce or eliminate protection for the
erator in the event of a roll over
o
Precaution to avoid tipping
Do not drive where the tractor could slip or tip.
Stay alert for holes and rocks in the terrain, and other
hidden hazards.
Slow down before you make a sharp turn.
Driving forward out of a ditch or mired condition could
cause tractor to tip over backward. Back out of these
situations if possible.
U18N136
Park tractor safely
Before working on the tractor:
Lower all equipment to the ground.
Stop the engine and remove the key.
Keep riders off tractor

It must be noted that the PTO shift lever on the LHS below the driver seat should be shifted to position
1 (540 RPM) or 2 (1,000 RPM) depending upon the implement specification.
In no case the specified speeds be crossed as serious damage to the tractor/implement to person can result
because of this.
When the PTO is not in use the shift lever must be put in neutral position to avoid unnecessary use or
accidental use.
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

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:
z 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.
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.

Warming up
When starting the engine allow it to warm up to operating temperature by allowing it to idle 5-10 minutes to
ensure full lubrication and operating temperature. Failure to do so can shorten engine life substantially.
Warming up in cold weather
Cold weather will change the viscosity of the oil, resulting in a reduced oil pumping capacity, which can
cause damage to the engine if it is not warmed up correctly. It also causes problems with the hydraulic
system and the synchromesh in the transmission.

Connecting and disconnecting implement
.
CONTROLS, INSTRUMENTS & OPERATIONS
71
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:
- 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.
- Stop the engine and wear protective glasses and gloves before work.

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 200 EH
(at the state of the engine hour counter of 250 EH maximum) but not later than 12 months after the first
service inspection. Next service inspections always after covering another 250 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.
For full details of the items and frequency please refer to the following tables - Periodical check and service
tables.
Engine coolant
Remove the radiator cap and ensure that the coolant is up
to the filler neck and that it is clean with the correct antifreeze or anti corrosion inhibitor in it.

Battery maintenance
Low temperatures will affect the performance of batteries so take particular care of it in winter. For long-term
storage of the tractor remove the battery and keep it in a cool dry room. If it is on the tractor while stored,
disconnect the negative terminal. Batteries will self discharge if left for a period of without use time. To keep
them in good condition charge them once a month in summer and every second month In winter. When
replacing the original battery, ensure that the replacement battery is the same size. Failure to do so can
cause problems with the electrical circuit.
Battery charging
boost charge is only for emergencies. It will partially
charge the battery at a high rate and in a short time.
When using a boost-charged battery, It is necessary to
recharge the battery as early as possible.
Failure to do this will shorten the battery's service life.
UCL18N076
Caution: Always disconnect the negative terminal first when removing the battery and always
connect the positive terminal first when fitting the battery. When connecting the battery leads make
sure not to reverse the polarity. Quick charging will reduce battery life. Disconnect the terminals

proper battery performance and/or proper performance of the electrical system. Make repairs, as required.
Check the alternator and the battery charger for proper operation.If the batteries are properly charged ,the
ammeter reading should be very near Zero. All batteries should be kept warm because temperature affects
the cranking power. If the battery is too colt,the battery will not crank the engine.When the engine is not run
for long periods of time or if the engine is run for short periods.The batteries may not fully charge. A battery
with a low charge will freeze more easily than a battery with a full charge
