Before applying pressure to the hydraulic system, make sure that all connections are tight and that all lines, pipes, and hoses are free of damage. 4 A Warranty Correctinstallation, coupled with regular maintenance, will do much to prevent breakdowns. If, however, ‘operating trouble is experienced during the warranty period, the following procedure must be adopted:- Immediately notify the Dealer from whom you purchased the tractor, quoting the Model and Serial Number, It is most important that there should be no delay, and you should realize that, even where the original fallure is covered by warranty If the failure is not repaired immediately, warranty ‘cover may not apply. Provide your Dealer with as much background information as you can. It will help him to know how many hours service has been achieved, the SAFE OPERATION type of work on which you are engaged and the symptoms ofthe trouble. It should be noted that normal maintenance services such as tuning, brakelclutch adjustments, and the ‘supply of materials used to service the tractor (oll, filters, fuel and antifreeze) are not covered by terms of the warranty, 2.5, Parts Warning ‘The fitment of non genuine parts may resultin a part of substandard quality being used. The tractor manufacturer will not take the responsibilty for any loss, damage or liability resulting from the fitment of such parts, and, if fitted during the normal warranty period the manufacturer's guarantee may be invalidated. 2.5.1.Service After Warranty During the warranty period, you should have all your repairs and maintenance performed by your dealer. This ensures that a detailed check is kept on the progress and performance of your new tractor. In order to obtain the best results from your tractor itis important that regular maintenance and service ‘checks continue after the warranty period has expired 2.6, Diesel Fuel 1. To enhance the life of engine never use blended ‘mixture of fuellike-gasoline, alcohol etc. 2. Never remove the fuel cap or refuel with the engine running or inhot condition 3. Donot smoke or allow an open flame near the fuel tank or while refueling the tractor. Walt for the engine to cool before refueling, 4, Do not fil the fuel tank to capacity Allow room for expansion 5. Wipe up spilled fuel immediately. 6. Always tighten the fuel tank cap securely. 7. Ifthe original fuel tank cap is lost, replace it with an approved cap. Anon-approved cap may notbe safe. 8. Keep equipment clean and properly maintained. 9. Do not drive equipment near open fire. 10. Never use fue! for cleaning purpose. 111, Use diesel fuel with a minimum cetane rating of 40 (Diesel fuel no. 2) at ambient temperatures above - 70°F (20°C) or Diesel fuel no. 1 below this temperature. At very low ambient temperatures andjor at high attitude, a fuel with a higher cetane rating is required. 12. Diesel fuel with a sulphur content above 1.3% is notrecommended, 13. Precaution should be taken to ensure that stored fuel is kept free of drt, water, etc. 17SAFE OPERATION A CAUTION: The fuel oil in the injection system is pressurized and can penetrate human skin with fatal results. Adjustment of fuel injection equipment should not be carried out by unqualified person. 2.6.1 ROPS (Roll Over Protective Structures) 1. Farmtrac recommends the use of a Roll Over Protective Structures (ROPS) and seat belt in almost all applications. This combination will reduce the risk of serious injury or death, should the tractor be upset. Check for overhead clearance which may interfere with a ROPS. 2. Set parking brake and stop engine. Remove any ‘obstruction that may prevent raising or folding of the ROPS. Do not allow any bystanders. Always perform function froma stable position at the rear of the tractor. Hold the top of the ROPS securely when raising or folding. Make sure all pins are installed and locked. 3. If the ROPS is loosened or removed for any reason, make sure that all parts are reinstalled correctly before operating the tractor. 4. Never modify or repair any structural member of a ROPS because welding, bending, drilling, grinding, or cutting may weaken the structure. 5. Ifany structural member of the ROPS is damaged, replace the entire structure at your local Farmtrac Dealer Distributor 6. Ifthe tractor is equipped with a foldable ROPS it may be temporarily folded down only when. absolutely necessary for areas with height constraints. (There is no operator protection provided by the ROPS in the folded position. For ‘operator safely the ROPS should be placed in the upright and locked position and the seat belt fastened forallother operations.) 7. Always use the seat beltif the tractor has a ROPS. Do notuse the seat beltifa foldable ROPS is down ‘or there is no ROPS. Check the seat belt regularly and replace iffrayed or damaged. 2.6.2, Safety for children Tragedy can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children. Children generally are attracted tomachines and the work they do. 4. Never assume that children will remain where you last saw them. 2. Keep children out of the work area and under the ‘watchful eye of another responsible adult 3. Be alert and shut your machine down if children enterthe work area, 4. Never carry children on your machine. There is no safe place for themto ride. They may fall offand be run over while running machine. 5. Never allow children to operate the machine even under adult supervision. 6. Never allow children to play with the machine or ‘the implement, 7. Use extra caution while reversing the tractor. Look behind and down to make sure area is clear before moving, 2.7 Operating on slopes. Slopes are a major factor related to loss-of-control and tipover accidents, which can result in severe injury or death. All slopes require extra caution. 1. Stay off slopes which are too steep for safe operation. 2. Driving forward out of a ditch, mired condition or up a steep slope increases the risk of a tractor to be upset backward. Always back out of these: situations. Extra caution Is required with 4-wheel drive models because their increased traction can give the operator false confidence in the tractor's, ability to climb slopes. 3, Keep all movement on slopes slow and gradual. Do not make sudden changes in speed, direction of apply brake and make sudden motions of the steering wheel. 4. Avoid disengaging the clutch or changing gears speed when climbing or going down a slope. If on a slope disengaging the clutch or changing gears to neutral could cause loss of control over the machine. 2.8. Parking The Tractor 1. Lower all implements to the ground, place all control levers in their neutral positions, set the parking brake, disengage the PTO, stop the engine, remove the key from the ignition Leaving, transmission in gear with the engine stopped will not prevent tractor from rolling, 2. Make sure thatthe tractorhas come to a complete stop before dismounting, 3. Avoid parking on steep slopes, if at all possible ark on a firm and level surface; if not, park across a slope with chock the wheels. Failure to comply with this warning may allow the tractor to move and could cause injury or deat 18UNIVERSAL SYMBOLS 2.9.

A WARNING : To avoid inadvertent movement of the implement, disengage the P.T.O. afer each use. Figure 37. Hydraulic Levers 1. Draft Control lever, 2. Adjustable stop 3. Position Control lever ‘Two distinct systems are incorporated 1.DraftControllever 2. Position Contrallever ‘The type of control selected will depend on the type of implement in use and the operating conditions. 1. Draft Control is most suitable for soil engaging implements operating in the ground. Changes in the working depth or soll resistance cause the draft loading ‘on the implement to increase or decrease. This change in draft loading is sensed through the top link of the three-point linkage and the hydraulic system responds, by raising or lowering the implement to restore the draft loading. In this way a uniform draft load is maintained ‘onthe implement. 2. Position Control provides accurate and sensitive control of implements such as sprayers, rakes, mowers, etc., that operate above the ground. Position Control ‘would not normally be used with ground engaging equipment unless itis essential to maintain a constant depth regardless of the draftload The tractor has a dual lever system, i.e., separate levers for Draft and Position Control functions. See Figure 37. The Draft and Position Control levers are used to. raise or lower the three-point linkage (and implement) to the required height or working depth. A. WARNING: Do not transport or attach ‘equipment when the hydraulic system is in Draft Control Use position Control for these operations Always lower hydraulic equipment to the ground before stopping the tractor. 3.42, Draft Control Operation Move the Draft Control Lever in the quadrant to find the point near the center where the lift links neither raise nor lower. Thisis the neutral point. Lower the implement into work using the Draft control Lever, Push the Lever forward to increase the draft loading. Pull rearwards to reduce the draft loading. in most circumstances, forward movement of the Draft Control Lever will increase implement depth and rearward movement will reduce the depth. Once set, tractor hydraulic system will automatically adjust the implement depth to maintain an even pull onthe tractor and so reduce wheelslip to a minimum, When lowering the implement into work push the Draft Control Lever down to the bottom of the quadrant to ensure positive engagement of the implement in the ground then immediately raise the Draft Control Lever until the required implement depthis achieved. When the required implement working depth has been established, set the adjustable stop adjacent to the Draft Control Lever to locate the position for repeated use. The Draft Control Lever may be eased sideways to bypass the adjustable stop, ifrequired. 3.13, Position Control Operation Set the required implement heightidepth using the Position ControlLever. Pull the Lever Back to raise the implement height/depth using the Position Control Lever. Pull the lever back to raise the implement, push forward to lower. Implement heightidepth is relative to the position of the Leverin the quadrant. When the required implement working height/depth has been established, set the adjustable stop adjacent to the Position ‘Control Lever to locate the position for repeated use. The Lever may be eased sideways when it Is required to by pass the adjustable stop. aSECTIONA The adjustable stop is reversible after loosening the central clamp screw so that it may also be used when ‘operating in Draft Control IMPORTANT : When transporting equipment on the three-point linkage set the adjustable stop to maintain the Position Control Lever in the raised position. This will prevent accidental movement of the lever which could result in attached equipment lowering and becoming damaged or damaging the road surface. 3.14. Automatic depth and draft system (Blending) Position Control may be used together with the Draft Control as follows: Set the Position Control Lever at the maximum desired implement depth. The hydraulic system will not lower the implement below this depth. This will also prevent “diving” which may be encountered with light equipment, such as a rear blade, while grading or backfiling, Adjust the Draft Control Lever for the maximum required draft load (pull), The hydraulic ft system will now provide normal draft response within the range set by the Position Control. This adjustment provides a more uniform depth while maintaining an even pull in widely varying soil conditions, 3.14.1 Flowand Sensitivity Control Your tractor is equipped with hydraulic flow and mechanism, operated by knob provided on the platform area. The sensitivity control knob (1) when rotated regulates the hydraulic oil flow to give smoother response to draft signals while using soil engaging implements. When setting the draft control lever, the sensitivity control knob (1) should be ‘opened by rotating itin clockwise direction. In case any vibrations are experienced on the mounted implement, the knob is gradually rotated anti-clockwise until the vibrations are arrested. The flow regulation control knob is provided to control the rate of drop of the lower links by regulating the flow of hydraulic oi When the knob is fully tightened by rotating it in clockwise direction to an extreme, the lower links can be locked in the raised position and will nt lower even if draft or position levers are lowered. While transporting attachments, this locking system should be used. The rate of flow of ol is infinitely variable, between the extreme positions of the knobs.

TRACTOR WEIGHING For maximum performance in heavy draft conditions weight should be added to the tractor in the form of liquid ballast, castiron weights ora combination of both, Front end ballast may be required for stability and steering control when weight is transferred from the front to the rear wheels as the implement is raised by the tractor three-point linkage. ‘As a general guide, tractors should be ballasted so that approximately one third of the total tractor weight (less. implement) is on the front wheels. When a rear mounted implement is raised to the transport position, the weight on the front wheels should beatleast 20% of total tractor weight. ‘Add additional front end ballast, as required, for stability during operation and transport. Ballasting of the front ‘end may not always provide adequate stability i the tractor is operated at high speed on rough terrain, Reduce tractor speed and exercise caution under these conditions. When using front mounted implements, add weight to the rear wheels to maintain traction and stability IMPORTANT : Only sufficient weight should be added as is necessary to provide traction and stabil. Adding ‘more weight than necessary results in unnecessary loads being imposed on the tractors and a higher fuel consumption. When adding weight, adhere to the maximum tire capacity loading stated in the tables towards the end of Chapter-5 of this manual. If further information or assistance is required on tractor weighing consult your Dealer. When adding ballast, the total weight of the tractor including liquid, cast iron weights and mounted equipment (where specified) should not exceed the maximum shown in the following text entitled Weighing Limitations. ‘A WARNING : If proper stability cannot be achieved within the following weighing limitations, reduce the load onthe tractor until stability is restored Weighing Limitations (Where ever applicable) For optimum driveline reliability and tractive efficiency, maximum ballasted tractor weight (base tractor plus ballast and any mounted equipment such as sprayers, ete., including the load carried there on) must not exceed 6900Ib. (3130kg.) Maximum permissible rear axle loading with ballast and ‘mounted equipment is 6000p. (2700kg.) |ON NOTE : Total rear axle weight is measured with only the rear wheels on the scales inclusive liquid and cast iron ballast and with mounted equipment in the raised position. The total frontaxle load must not exceed 2954 Ib, (1340 kg.) or the load capacity of the tires. See tire pressure and Load Tables in Section C of this Manual For speeds above 10 mph (16 kmph), the permissible loading should be reduced by 20% from the limits specified above. Liquid Ballast Filing the front and rear tires with liquid ballast is a convenient method of adding weight. A solution of water is recommended, This gives a low freezing point and provides a higher density than plain water. NOTE : When filing tres with water solution the valve should be at the highest point on the wheel. Ifthe tire contains liquid ballast, the valve should be at the lowest point when checking or adjusting air prossure. Special equipment is required to water ballast tires. See your Tractor Dealer or Tire Supplier for details Removal Procedure: Jack up the tractor & turn wheel to bring the valve at bottom position. Remove the valve core housing and make connections with pump. Completely evacuate the tire Re-inate the tire with recommended air pressure, 3.22, How to do Wheel Ballasting Jack-up both rear wheels, remove Valve Body & allow air to flow out completely Position wheel nozzle @ 12'o clock location.

Research shows that a badly maintained tractor wastes upto 25% of precious diesel . Stop diesel leaks: Check your tractor daily. A leak of one drop per second can cost you 600 litres per year. |. Turn your engine off, when you stop ‘An idling tractor wastes more than 1 litre of diesel every hour. Remember : + When in doubt, check with your dealer. Remember : Inspect joints in + Fueltank, + Fuel injectors, + Fuel pump, + Fuel ines. Remember : + Keep your battery, dynamo and self-starter in top running condition, If they are faulty they can force you to idle. |. Drive in the correct gear always It your tractor struggles to pull a load with the throttle at maximum. You should go into lower gear. If it accelerates, slip into a higher gear. Wrong gear selection can increase fuel consumption by 30% and reduce field output by 50%, Does your tractor smoke, too A tractor that smokes excessively wastes precious diesel. Oversize implements or using the wrong gear, cause tractor smoke.If your tractor continues to smoke, have it attended from your dealer. Test nozzles and if required recalibrate the fuel injection pump. Faulty fuel injection can increase fuel consumption by 25%, Remember . ‘Smokes from a tractor indicates overloading, gear down, Remember: . Don't use oversize implements. : Service the engine regularly. Dirt-your engine's worst enemy Good air filtration is important since tractors often operate in dusty conditions, Research proves that unfiltered air wears out cylinder bores 45 time fastor and piston rings 115 times faster than normal Good fuel filtration is important, too. Dirty fuel endanger the engine too. Use quality fuel fitters and replace them as recommended. 7. Wheels that slip waste diesel 55TIPS ON FUEL SAVING Keep tractor wheels from slipping by adding water ballasts and/or cast iron weights. Add just the right amount of weight to keep wheel slippage to Note : Information about water ballasting & weights is given in latter pages. Remember : + Donot replace both fuel fiers simultaneously. * Clean air cleaner regularly Remember * Remove ballasts after field operations are over. 18. Worn out tyres reduce pulling power Relug your tyres on time. While refiting tyres, make sure the 'V' treads point downwards when viewed from the front. Remember : * Different tyre pressure are recommended for road and field work, Check your manual or ask your dealer. You may consume upto 30% more fuel i you use undersized implements or operate at low speeds. }9. Match hauling capacity with load Choose implement size and tractor operating speed to match your engine's full horsepower. Run in the highest gear possible at which your tractor doesn't smoke. If your tractor on full throttle accelerates even in the top gear. Your implement is to small. A bigger implement or a multiple arrangement of implements may help you get the ‘maximum benefit of tractors, power and cut diesel waste. Remember : Consult an expert when selecting implements. 56TIPS ON FUEL SAVING 10.Plan your field run Plough according to a planned layout that reduces idle running, backtracking and awkward tums. You will save diesel if you plough long furrows instead, of short ones. Remember : * Your first openings must be straight and parallel + Side lands and headlands should be ploughed around the field continuously without reploughing the field, lUsing a pump-set or thresher Operate your tractor at the throttle setting which gives you the recommended speed for either a PTO or a belt drive, Your tractor has a built-in tachometer, the correct engine speed will be marked on the dial ‘Ask your dealer or an expert to make the throttle setting according to the size of your pump, thresher ete, Remember : * You will save money if you operate the engine at its best speed for the pump or thresher. DIESEL STORAGE AND HANDLING The Funnel for pouring the diesel should have a close mesh gauze. Cans and funnel should be kept clean and dry and covered up when not in use. ‘The barrels should be kept well sheltered and the contents given ample time to settle before any diesel is withdrawn, ‘Atap should be screwed into the hole on one end of, the barrel, which should be placed tied away from the tap. It will be necessary to loosen the second plug for drawing the diesel and to tighten it afterwards. ‘The barrel should not completely drained, but refiled while there is stil §-10 litres diasel init.SECTION C CHAPTER -5 SPECIFICATIONS The specification on the following pages are given for you information and guidance, For further information concerning your tractor and equipment, consult your Authorized Dealer.
