Description
General construction
INTRODUCTION & DESCRIPTION
12
The t
ransmission case, 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 engine with 4 cylinders manufactured by Perkins.
Hydrostatic Transmission
The Tractor is fitted with servo controlled HST with three ranges and can be selected range by lever. The
tractor has two pedals for speed and forward/reverse control. Tractor with Independent Power Take Off is
fitted with electro - hydraulic clutch Assy.
Brakes
ZETOR tractors are provided with independent disc brakes operated by two road travel. A foot 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 independent, very touch of hydraulic System.
Three point Linkages can be used for Category 1 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.

ROPS (ROLL OVER PROTECTION STRUCTURES)
13
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
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
Cabin type
(such as striking an overhead object during transport), it
must b
e 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.
U18N003
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.

If the monitor on the dash panel is blinking, the PTO will notify the driver that the PTO will not rotate
temporarily because the driver is off the seat, even if it is in the ON position. When the operator is
seated again in the driver's seat or the implement is lowered to the ground with the PTO lamp
flashing, the PTO can start to rotate momentarily.
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.
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:
1. 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.
2. 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 PTO monitor flashes or the warning lamp sounds as follows. If the driver is
seated on the seat again or the implement is lowered, PTO will start to rotate immediately.
3. On 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

Impor
tant:
Never turn the key to the start position while the engine is running as this can cause serious damage
to the starter and engine flywheel.
Only engage the starter for a period of not more than 10 seconds.
If Engine does not start, rest the starter for about 20 seconds and try again for a maximum of 10
seconds.
If the engine does not start after repeated attempts, refer to the fault tracing guide.
Important: Especially in cold weather, always allow the tractor to idle for a while to warm up &
build up sufficient oil pressure to ensure normal operating temperature for longer engine life.
Stopping the engine
- After light work let the engine idle for a while and turn the key off.
Important: After long or heavy work allow the engine to idle for 5- 10 minutes and turn the key
off.
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.
Correct times for warming up are:
Temperature Time for warming up
Above 50°F 5~10 min.
50°F ~ 32°F 10~20 min.

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.

If the gauge indicates that the engine is running hot, stop the tractor and check the coolant in the radiator.
Danger: Allow the engine to cool down before opening radiator cap as serious burns may
result due to hot steam & boiling water.
Also check to ensure that the fins in the radiator core are not clogged or that the tractor has a broken or
stretched fan belt.

1) Ma
ke 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

Service inspections
Servic
e 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

Alternator Inspect
Perkins recommends a scheduled inspection of the alternator. Inspect the alternator for loose connections
and proper battery charging. Inspect the ammeter(If equipped) during engine operation in order to ensure
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

matched set will cause the new belt to carry more load because the older belt is stretched. The
additional load on the new belt could cause the new belt to break. If the belts are too loose.Vibration causes
unnecessary wear on the belts and pulleys. Loose belt may slip enough to cause overheating. To accurately
check the belt tension ,a suitable gauge should be used.
Fit the gauge(1) at the center of the longest free length and check the tension.The correct tension is 535
N (120 lb). If the tension of the belt is below 250 N (56 lb) adjust the belt to 535 N (120 lb).
If twin belts are installed,check and adjust the tension on the both belts.

To remove the dust from the evacuator valve squeeze it between thumb and fingers to let excess dust out
and w
ipe around the valve to keep it clean from outside.
To clean the main element, remove the right fan cover.
Remove dust by blowing it out of the element with Compressed air.
Check the element to ensure it is not damaged. Reassemble the element.
Important:
Never beat the element on a stone or concrete floor/wall to clean it.
Check all connections and hoses especially on the clean side of the air cleaner to ensure no dusty
air can enter the engine. Check the element for flaws by putting a light inside the element.
When reassembling make sure all surfaces seal correctly to keep dust out.
When working in dusty conditions increase the service frequency.
- Replace the element after cleaning it 5 times or it is damaged.
Checking hoses and lines
The fuel lines, radiator hoses, hydraulic and rubber hoses are consumables, which deteriorate by age and
use.
Check them regularly and replace if faulty.
Caution:
Damaged fuel lines leak and cause fires.
Damaged radiator hoses can cause hot water burns and in severe cases seize the engine.
Checking the wiring harness and fuses
Loose wires make inferior connections and damaged wires can cause short circuits, fires burnt wiring or
reduce efficiency of components. Replace or repair any faulty wiring or insulation.
If a fuse burns out again after it has been replaced, do not replace it with wire or a high capacity fuse, find
the cause and rectify it or get an auto electrician to do so.
Where insulation is chafed or peeled off, recover the area with a good quality insulation tape. Where wiring
comes out of it's fitting replace it correctly with the standard fitting.
Important:
Incorrect wiring or fuses can cause fires to both the tractor and surrounding area so get the dealer to
check it annually. Likewise fuel pipes and wiring age with use.
Ask your dealer to check it at least once every 2 years and replace as required.

Lower the implement to the ground..
Keep it in a machinery shed or, if not available cover the unit if left outside.
In very cold conditions it is advisable to remove the battery and keep it inside in a warm environment.
This will ensure effective starting when the tractor is required.
When the outside temperature is below 32 °F, replace the Antifreeze completely or drain the coolant to
protect the engine from damage from frozen coolant.
Important: When washing the tractor ensure that the water does not get near electrical
components or the oil filter points.
To prevent short circuits remove the ignition key.
Do not wash the tractor when the engine is running.
Long-term storage
When the tractor will not be used for a long time carry out the cleaning as for short term storage.
Drain the oil and replace with new oil. Run the engine for approx. 5 min. to ensure that it has new oil
throughout the engine.
Drain the coolant from the radiator and remove the ignition key.
Attach a tag both the key and the steering wheel saying ''No coolant''. Lubricate all grease and oil points on
the tractor.

Fuel Saving Tips
To save fuel & oil in your tractor, following things should always be kept in mind.
Air Cleaning System
1. Clean the air cleaner regularly so that dust does not settle down.
2. For every 50 hours & everyday in sandy/dusty conditions.
- Clean the air cleaner filter element with compressed air.
- If the rubber ring is cut or expanded then change it with an appropriate one. Fix the rubber at the
proper location & check for leakages if any.
- If air is leaking through the hose connection, check & rectify other leakages, too.
Note: If air cleaning system is not properly maintained, it will lead to early wear of piston rings &
sleeves. This will lead to problems like loss of engine power, excessive oil consumption fuel
consumption.
Engine
1. Put the engine oil on load after the engine is heated & the water temperature gauge indicates the
needle to be in the green zone.
2. If excessive black smoke is visible, then the paper element of air cleaner, Fuel injection pump or
nozzles should be checked.
3. Do not run the engine without load for more than 2 minutes. It is better to stop the engine rather than
run it idle. This will help in saving of fuel.
Fuel System
1. Always use filtered diesel for the fuel system.
LUBRICATION & MAINTENANCE
98
2. At
the end of the day's working, it is preferable to fill the diesel tank so that it may prevent
condensation.
3. Change the filter, if the system gets choked. Do not change both the filters at the same time. If the
above directives are not adhered to, the fuel injection pump & injection nozzle will lose its life early.
Also, it will lead to excessive black smoke & excessive diesel consumption
Oil System
1. Always use recommended grade of oil.
2. Everyday before starting the engine, check the oil level with a dipstick & refill between the minimum &
maximum level.
3. Charge the engine oil. Replace filter & ''O'' ring, as & when required.
Cooling System
1. Check the fan belt tension regularly. Adjust, If required.
2. Check the coolant level in the radiator fins always clean.
3. Replace the radiator cap with a genuine cap only, if required.
4. Do not remove the thermostat but replace with a new one, if required.
5. Do not change the radiator water often.
Note:
1) Always stop any fuel or oil leakages.
2) Carry out the regular maintenance failure to do so might increase the fuel consumption by 25%.
3) Carry out the torque of cylinder head bolt & adjustment of valve clearance regularly. Consult your
dealer for this.?
4) Check the tire pressure & inflate, as recommended.
Note:
1) Always buy genuine spares from the authorized Dealer / Distributor.
