Page 9 Safety notes Chapter 2 Safety notes REGULAR USE This is an agricultural tractor, whose function consists essentially in traction power. It is therefore specially designed to push, pull, carry or operate some interchangeable implements for agricultural purpose, or to tow agricultural trailers. This machine must be driven and operated by an operator suitably instructed, firmly seated and wearing a fastened seat belt. This machine is NOT designed: - To be driven or operated standing or from outside the cab or the operator’s seat, or without a fastened seat belt. - To lift persons. - To transport persons, within or outside the cab or the operator’s seat, in any condition (work or road transport). - To be used in hazardous atmosphere. - To be used in forestry. - To be equipped with front loaders if the tractor is not provided with a suitable structure to protect the operator’s seat from falling and projected objects. More basic rules - Keep the cab doors closed while the machine is being used. - The machine must be used only by a skilled operator who knows perfectly controls and driving technique. - External controls of hitch and electro-hydraulic power take-off (if equipped) must be operated standing on one side outside the tractor and keeping oneself out of the overall width of mudguards. It is expressly forbidden to operate the controls from the rear of the tractor or standing on the inner side of wheels. - Before any operations, carefully analyze all risks and check that the user is skilled enough to safely operate the machine. WARNING: Improper use of the machine, specially on rough terrain or slopes, can make it tilt over. Pay particular attention in case of rain, snow, ice or anyway on slippery ground.

Page 13 Safety notes PRECAUTIONS FOR WORKING IN SAFETY Protect yourself NEVER take any risks. Wear all protective clothing and any personal protection devices called for by the work conditions. (Fig. 2-3). The following personal safety devices are always necessary: - Hearing protection. - Safety shoes. WARNING: the tractor is not protected against dangerous matters and emissions.
Page 14 Safety notes Know your equipment Know your tractor. Know how to operate all equipment on your machine and the implements and attachments used with it. Know the purpose of all the controls, gauges and dials. Know the rated load capacity, speed range, braking and steering characteristics, turning radius, and operating clearances. Keep in mind that rain, snow, ice, loose gravel, soft ground, etc. can change the way your tractor operates.. Under poor conditions, slow down and be extra careful, engage four-wheel drive, if fitted. Study the DANGER, WARNING or CAUTION safety Fig.2-6 signs on your tractor and the information signs also.

Page 17 Safety notes If the tractor must be lifted for servicing, take it to a sui- tably equipped workshop. Carry out the following operations before any operation about the tractor: engage the four-wheel drive, the first gear and the parking brake and put chocks to the wheels touching the ground. Before lifting the tractor, avoid its swinging by means of wooden wedges applied to the front axle (Fig.2-9b): the chocks must avoid any swinging of the tractor. Use jack lifts of suitable capacity and apply them at the centre of the front and rear axles (Fig. 2-9b and Fig.2-9c) paying due attention to weight distribution. [4.1.k] No decals for the lifting point are applied on the tractor, as they would be too difficult to apply in the available spaces and would be all too easily removed or effaced during normal operation of the tractor. Apply the jack lift to the Fig.2-9b lifting points (Fig. 2-10a ) according to the type of operation and following the safety procedures given before. WARNING: DO NOT raise the tractor using the tow hook.
Page 18 Safety notes Safety at starting [4.1.c] WARNING: Make sure that there is enough ventilation before starting the engine. Never start the engine in an enclosed space. Exhaust fumes may cause asphyxiation (Fig.2-10b). Make sure that the tractor dual brake pedals are locked together at all times unless you are making turns in the field which require independent use of the brakes. Make sure the brakes are properly adjusted so that both brakes engage at the same time. Adjust the seat and fasten your seat belt (if applicable, Fig.2-10b according the description in this book), Always start the engine from the operator’s seat, after depressing the clutch pedal, with all the transmission levers and PTO and auxiliary spool valve control levers...
Page 19 Safety notes DIRECTIONS TO AVOID IMPROPER USE OF THE TRACTOR WORKING IN SAFETY Do not start the tractor without ensuring a perfect com- mand of speed and steering controls (Fig.2-14). WARNING: An unbalanced tractor could over- turn and cause injury or death. If required, put ballast weights on their front support and on rear wheels as described in this section of the Operation chapter.
Page 20 Safety notes Beware of other people • Think about what you are going to do. N e v e r a l - low persons that are not qualified or suitably skilled to operate your tractor. They could be a danger for themselves or for others. WARNING: Your tractor is designed to be ope- rated by one person. DO NOT allow others to ride on the tractor or the implement (Fig.2- 16).
Page 21 Safety notes Risk of overturning For your safety, tractors must be equipped with original safety belts (Fig.2-18). In case of overturning, hold firmly the steering wheel e DO NOT try to get off the seat until the tractor has come to a stop. If the doors are locked, leave the tractor through the duly indicated emergency exits (Fig.2-18). IMPORTANT: The safe working practices listed here- under concerns only a few cases of overturning risk. The list is therefore NOT comprehensive of all possible cases.

Page 22 Safety notes • Avoid crossing steep slopes if possible. If you must do so, avoid any holes or depressions on the downhill side. Avoid any stumps, rocks, bumps or raised areas on the uphill side. When operating near ditches or banks, always keep your tractor behind the shear line (A, Fig.2-22). Avoid ditches, embankments and river banks which might cave in (Fig.2-21). Fig.2-21 Fig.2-22 • If you need cross a steep slope, do not steer uphill, but slow down and take a wide turn. Always drive straight up or down a slope, never across it. When travelling up or down a slope, keep the heavy end of the tractor and the implement pointed uphill. (Fig.2-23) •...
Page 23 Safety notes To avoid rear overturns WARNING: Hitching to the rear axle, or any other point above the swinging drawbar, can cause a rear overturn. • DO NOT pull anything using the top link connection, or from any point above the centre line of the rear axle. Always use an approved drawbar, and only use a drawbar pin that locks into place. •...
Page 24 Safety notes • Start slowly and increase your speed gradually. DO NOT rev the engine or drop the clutch. If the tractor is attached to a heavy load, or immovable object, improper clutching may cause overturn (Fig.2-30 and 2-31). • If the front part of the tractor begins lifting, disengage the clutch at once (Fig.2-29). • If your tractor is bogged down in mud or frozen to the ground, DO NOT attempt to drive forwards. The tractor can spin around its rear wheels and overturn (Fig.2-29). Lift any attached implement and attempt to BACK OUT. If this is not possible, tow it out with another vehicle.

Page 122 Operation Lower links The lower links (4) transmit draft and support to the implement. The lower links are available with fixed ball- ends or with quick-hitch couplings (on request). The tractor is supplied complete with Class 2 and 3 interchangeable ball ends to be installed on the imple- ment hitch crossbar. Quick hitch couplings To hitch the implement, first pull the connecting cables (1) from the driving seat to open the hitch lock (2). Reverse the tractor towards the implement so that the lower links are in the direction of the ball-ends fixed to the crossbar of the implement. Slowly raise the links of the power lift until the ball-ends (C) automatically push against the spring-loaded quick- hitch couplings (D) and are locked into place. The hitch couplings can be opened driectly from the Quick hitch couplings. cab by means of the control cables. RH adjustable rod. C - Quick hitch coupling. D - Lock. E - Control cable. Adjustable rh lift rod The length of the rh adjustable lift rod (2) can be adju- sted by means of the relative crank (1). This adjustment is very useful since it levels the implement depending on the type of work being carried out. Turn the lever clockwise to shorten the rh vertical lift rod. Turn the lever anticlockwise to lengthen the rh vertical lift rod. On request the rh adjustable lift rod can be equipped with a hydraulic jack (3), operated from the driving seat, to adjust the cross angle of the implement.
Page 123 Operation Vertical lift rods The right and left vertical lift rods can be regulated by means of an adjustment crank in order to alter the late- ral angle of the implements. They can also be adjusted by turning the backing plate through 90°: this gives two settings, one with the plate fixed (A), the other with the plate free to slide (B). This latter position must be used for implements that require a certain freedom of sideways movement (cultivators, spaders, harrows). Fixed backing plate. Free-sliding backing plate. Backing plates for the hinge pins of the vertical rod forks. Side stabilizers The side stabilizers (1) can be set to reduce side swing of the lower links of the three-point linkage. When working with implements such as graders, rollers, hoes, weeders, etc. the side swing of the lower links can be adjusted according to the job on hand. When working instead with ploughs, disk harrows, etc. the stabilizers can be set to allow the lower links to swing freely. For the transport on road with lift links in high position, lower links side swing must be restricted independently of any previous adjustment during work. Turn the stabilizers (2) for the adjustment: – turn anti-clockwise to increase side swing of three- point linkage; – turn clockwise to reduce or even stop side swing of three-point linkage. If the three-point linkage is set on float mode, it is ne- cessary to check that side swing is simmetrical on both sides, taking the rear wheel rim as a reference. Swing the three-point linkage all to the right and measu- re the distance from lower link to wheel rim. For special requirements, the link length can be so adjusted as to offset the implement relatively to the tractor axis. In this case the links must be adjusted to...
Page 124 Operation Adjustable top link (3rd point) The adjustable top link (1) is connected to the tractor through a bearing with two holes (2). The connection hole should be selected according to the reaction to the draft control. Connection to the top hole gives a lower sensitivity, to the bottom hole a higher sensitivity to the hitch draft control. The length of the link is varied so that the angle of the implement can be regulated in relation to the ground. During work, the top link should go slightly down toward the tractor, when the lower links are parallel to the ground. Hydraulic adjustment of top link (3rd point) (on request). For works in draft control mode, remember that it is better to hitch the implement in the top hole if the carried load is particularly heavy. This way a greater uniformity of work is achieved. Important recommendations when using and adjusting the three point linkage. On request, the adjustable top link is available with a hydraulic device (1) to adjust the length of the link from WARNING: before any adjustments in the the driving place during work. three point linkage, the following operations are required: engage the first gear, engage the The top link has two holes for hitching the implement and parking brake, turn the engine off and remove...

Page 126 Operation ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED HYDRAULIC POWER LIFT Description The electronically controlled hydraulic power lift is avai- lable as an option on certain tractor models, depending on the requirements of the particular market. Electronic control of the power lift gives a number of major benefits. In particular, control and response signals can be processed and action taken to adjust for variations in ground conditions encountered by the im- plement in a fraction of the time possible with manual controls. To obtain the best results from the electronic control system, you must be fully familiar with the controls on the power lift control panel. A full description is given below. Power lift control panel 1 - 3-position up/down switch. A: Lowering - Work position. This depends on the way the controls (3 and 2) are regulated. B: Stop - The lift arms are unable to move in any way in the stop position. C: Lifting - Transport: the fully raised position is established by the limiter (7). 2 - Implement work depth/height control: 0 - Maximum depth. 10 - Max. height from ground. 3 - Function selector: - Position Control, turned clockwise. - Draft Control, turned anti-clockwise. - Intermediate position: mixed Draft and Position Control (INTERMIX).
Page 127 Operation USE OF THE ELECTRONIC POWER LIFT Enabling the power lift The power lift incorporates a safety device which disa- bles the hydraulic power lift controls when the engine is off or if the external controls have been used. This prevents accidental movement of the lift arms and links as a result of interference with the controls or settings while the tractor was stopped. When the engine has been started, or after the external controls have been used, simply turn the control switch (1) to position C. - If the switch is already in Pos. C, turn the switch (1) to Pos. A then back to Pos. C again. - If the switch (1) is not in Pos. C and the lift is lowered, turn switch (1) to Pos. C. WARNING: The lift arms will rise as soon as the control panel is enabled. Limit the max. lifting height with the control (7) before re- activating the electronic power lift.

Page 132 Operation REMOTE HYDRAULICS OPERATION There can be up to three remote control levers, each NOTE: If there is too much restriction in the implement having three or four positions (according to the type of cylinders or other attachments, the restriction can cause valve): a back pressure in the remote valve which will cause the remote lever on the console to return to neutral before the cylinder has reached full stroke.
Page 133 Operation Float Position (if available) To operate the remote hydraulics in a float condition, turn the lock control (2) fully counterclockwise. This will allow the control lever to go completely for- ward into the float position. The remote hydraulic control levers can be locked out of the float position. When using equipment for work where the float position is not wanted, turn the lock control one position clockwise so that the control lever cannot be moved into the float position. NOTE: Single action cylinders can be operated in a float or no float position at the same time that the hitch is operated.
