2 . INTRODUCTION - SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND WARRANTY
2.1 - INTRODUCTION
The Safety chapter in the Operator Instruction Book high-
lights certain basic safety-related situations which may be
encountered during the operation and normal servicing of
the tractor and provides the information needed to handle
these situations. This chapter SUPPLEMENTS any safety
instructions given in other chapters of this book.
It may be necessary to take additional precautions, depend-
ing on the attachments used and the working conditions
on-site or in the servicing area. AGCO can under no circum-
stances exercise direct control over the commissioning,
operation, inspection, lubrication or servicing of the tractor.
It is therefore YOUR responsibility to take suitable safety
precautions in such areas.
NOTE: This book is published and distributed world-
wide and the availability of the attachments indicated,
whether on the basic tractor or as accessories, may
vary according to the country in which the tractor is
used. To find out which attachments are available in a
given region, contact an AGCO dealer.
The purpose of this book is to allow the owner and the op-
erator to run the tractor safely. Providing they follow the in-
structions carefully, the tractor will give many years of
service in the AGCO tradition.
Commissioning the equipment on the user's premises en-
ables the dealer to ensure that these operating and servic-
ing instructions are properly understood. Always consult
the dealer if there is any part of this book that you do not
understand. It is important that these instructions are un-
derstood and followed.
Daily servicing should become a routine, and a logbook of
operating hours should be kept.
When spare parts are required, it is important to use only
genuine AGCO parts. AGCO dealers supply genuine parts
and can offer advice concerning their fitting and use.
The use of lower quality parts may cause serious damage.
Customers are advised only to purchase their spare parts
from an approved AGCO dealer.
Owing to the considerable variation in operating conditions,
it is not possible for the manufacturer to formulate com-
plete or absolute assertions in its publications concerning
the performance or operating methods of its machines or
to accept liability for any loss or damage which may result
from such assertions or possible errors or omissions.
If the tractor is to be used in abnormal conditions which
could cause damage (use in deep water or in paddy fields
for instance), you should consult your AGCO dealer to ob-
tain special instructions to prevent the warranty from be-
coming void.
These tractors are designed only for usual farming activi-
ties (intended use).
Use for any other activity is considered to be contrary to the
intended use. AGCO disclaims all liability in the event of
material damage or physical injury resulting from improper
use, the consequences of which shall be borne by the user
alone.
Compliance with and strict adherence to the operating, ser-
vicing and repair requirements specified by AGCO are also
essential elements of the intended use.
8400 EAME
These tractors must only be used, serviced and repaired by
personnel who have full knowledge of their specific fea-
tures and are aware of the applicable safety rules (preven-
tion of accidents).
Customers are strongly advised to contact an AGCO dealer
in the event of after-sale problems and for any adjustments
which may be necessary.
2.1.1 - Pre-delivery inspection, commissioning on
the user's premises and warranty
When selling new products to its dealers, the manufacturer
provides a warranty which, subject to certain conditions,
guarantees that the goods are free from defects in material
and workmanship. Since this book is published worldwide,
it is impossible to detail the exact terms and conditions of
warranty that apply to all retail customers in all countries.
Purchasers of new AGCO equipment should therefore re-
quest full details from their supplying dealer.
In accordance with the manufacturer's policy of continuous
improvement of its products, the manufacturer reserves
the right to make alterations to the specifications of ma-
chines at any time without notice. The manufacturer dis-
claims all liability for discrepancies which may occur
between the specifications of its products and the descrip-
tions thereof contained in its publications.
The dealer is required to carry out certain activities when
supplying a new AGCO tractor. These consist of carrying
out a full pre-delivery inspection to ensure that the tractor
supplied is ready for immediate use, and providing full in-
structions to the user on the basic principles of operation
and servicing of the tractor. These instructions will cover in-
struments and controls, and routine servicing and safety
precautions. All persons who will be involved in the opera-
tion and servicing of the tractor should be present when
these instructions are given.
NOTE: AGCO disclaims all liability in the event of any
claim resulting from the fitting of non-approved parts,
accessories, implements or attachments or unautho-
rised modifications or alterations.
