Experience has shown that the first 50 hours of tractor operation have a significant effect on the per- formance and life of the engine. From new, the tractor should be engaged in work which will load the engine as near to full conditions as Possible. The engine should always be allowed to reach @ temperature of 60°C (140°F} before being ‘subjected to full load. 2. Itis quite normal for oil consumption to be relatively hhigh during the running in period. During running in therefore, check the engine oil level twice a day during the first 50 hours of operation to avoid the risk of lubrication failure. 3. During the running in period, check frequently the tightness of all screws, bolts, nuts, especially wheel nuts which must be checked daily until torque is held (see specifications), 4. To ensure proper clutch life, care must be taken to bed in the friction plates properiy. During the first 15 hours of the tractor'slife, frequently, but carefully, engage and disengage the clutch, 5.

(Fig. 16) Adjust the linkage height using the control knob (E). The indicator lights (G & H) will show whether the linkage is lifting or lowering. To lower the linkage, turn the knob anti-clokwise. The lowering indicator light will illuminate (Fig. 17)OPERATION To lift the linkage turn the knob (E) clockwise The lift indicator light (G) wil illuminate (Fig. 18), Depth control Knob Ain position 1 to 7 determine the depth of work. In position 8 and 9 the linkage is floating. EXTERNAL CONTROLS (if equipped) Attaching an implement using external controls. Before the external control buttons (Fig. 19) can be used Lift/Lowering switch D must be in the neutral or lowering position. WARNING: When using external controls: - keep clear of the linkage, - place the gear lever (1-2-3-4) in neutral position and put the reverse/forward lever in forward position or reverse position. - do not stand inside the track of the tractor. ‘When switch (D) isin the neutral or lowering position, pressing the external control buttons will cause the linkage (o be raised or lowered, NOTE : The movement of the linkages stops as soon as the button is released, When the external control is used, the lowering speed is 70 % of the maximum speed (the speed setting C does not operate). For safety,when the external buttons are operated, the cab control console is automatically switched off. To reactivate the cab console controls, move the switch (D) into the lift (1) then the lowering (2) position (Fig. 20) Fig. 19 3-10OPERATION Transport Select Position control setting (1) with knob (F} Fig. 21 Move Lif/lowering switch (D) to “lift” Agjust the maximum lift height to suit the implement being transported, using the maximum height adjuster (A). Start from the min. position. Move the lowering speed control knob C to the “locked” position by turning the knob clockwise. NOTE : This position prevents any lowering of the implement. Field operation Adjust the working depth using knob {E). Adjust the lift sensitivity using knob (8) The lift and lowering warning lights indicate the lift sensitivity Using knob (C) adjust a maxi linkage lowering speed according to the implement Quick soil engagement (Fig. 22) You can obtain working depth quicker by pressing button J. When you release the button, engagement working depth returns to that set on button € 1 normal engagement 2 : quick soil engagement Advantages : faster, more precise engagement of fur- rows. NOTE: When you press the quick soil engagement button, active slip control is deactivated until the button is released. During rapid soil engagement, keep slip control below 80 % to prevent the implement from lifting, when releasing the button.
