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
