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.
- 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.
- For tractors equipped with collapsible safety frame, see specific instructions in the next pages.
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. It may be necessary to step
out of the tractor to check personally ground quality. In the described conditions, always keep the load
as close as possible to the tractor and the ground.
WARNING: Do not try to get off the moving tractor, even if it is overturning, to avoid being crushed un-
der it, but remain seated with the well fastened seat belt and hold firmly the steering wheel.
WARNING: If the safety frame mounted on the tractor is the front two-post type, the tractor must always
be used with the frame in upright (vertical) position.

SAFETY FRAME
A safety frame is fitted as standard equipment to the
tractor at the time of factory assembly. It the safety frame
was removed or modified, the tractor should be equipped
with a new original and approved safety frame. The safety
frame reduces the risk of injury should the tractor tip over.
Tipping over without a safety structure can cause damage
and serious injury (Fig.2-1).
Use
• Before using the tractor ensure that the safety frame is
not damaged, that it is securely fastened to the tractor
and, if a hinged section is fitted, that it is in upright
position and secured.
• If the safety frame has been removed from the trac-
tor, or collapsed for a specific operation, it must be
refitted or erected immediately using proper tools and
applying the recommended torque value.
• DO NOT ATTACH chains, ropes or cables to the safety
frame for pulling purposes; this will cause the tractor Fig.2-2
to tip backwards. Always pull from the tractor drawbar.
• Seat belts must always be worn and adjusted snugly
except when operating with a folded down safety
frame (Fig.2-2).
• From time to time, check the seat belt for damage and
replace it if worn or damaged (Fig.2-2).

SAFETY - STARTING UP
Warn bystanders before starting the engine.
Before starting, walk around the whole tractor and any
attached equipment. Make sure that no one is under, on,
or close to the tractor or equipment. Let other workers
and bystanders know you are starting up and don’t start
until everyone is clear of the tractor, implements and
towed equipment.
Clean your shoes and wipe your hands before climbing on.
Use handrails, grab handles, ladders or steps (as provided)
when mounting or dismounting.

Safety notes
Safety at starting
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

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. Ballast weights must be used
according to the manufacturer’s directions.
NEVER add extra counterweights to compensate
for an overload. It is better to reduce the load.
Make sure your tractor is ready for the job it must do.
Know the rated load capacities of your tractor and never
exceed them. Be certain that any equipment or imple-
ments you intend to use DO NOT exceed the load rating
of your tractor. Be sure the tractor and implement PTO
rev/min match.

Brakes
The rear and front brakes are multi-disc oil bath units.
Brake action is hydraulic, controlled by pumps operated
by the pedals.
A brake fluid reservoir (1 - Fig.4-16)keeps the brake
circuit supplied with fluid.
Main brakes
The main brakes are operated by means of two pedals
(4- Fig. 4-17), one for each rear wheel. Braking on one
side assists steering in tight manoeuvres. By locking
the rear wheel on the inside of a curve, you can virtually
turn the tractor around on its own axis. For simulta- Fig.4-16 - Brake fluid reservoir
neous braking during normal use and for on-road use,
simply lock the two pedals together with the special
brake coupling lock (3 - Fig. 4179). It becomes even
more important to do this if the tractor is also equipped
with front brakes, since a device installed in the hydrau-
lic control circuit only allows the front brakes to be used
if the two pedals are operated at the same time.

Ballast
When the tyre is not sufficiently loaded in relation to the
traction the tractor must produce during work, it may
easily slip, causing loss of speed and wear on the tread
plus reduced efficiency on the job. To get the most out
of tractor power, it is therefore advisable to ballast the
tractor by applying cast iron rings to the driving wheels
or by filling the tyres with water.

of diesel fuel or alcohol be added to the

- Never use such mixtures. Moreover, mixtu-
res of diesel fuel and alcohol are not appro-

tightened.
- Dry up any fuel spill immediately.
Fuel requisites
It is important to use good quality fuel if the engine is to
be long-lasting and give a good performance. The fuels
must be clean, well refined and non-corrosive for the fuel
system components. Make sure that you use fuel of a
known quality and reliable origin.
Fuelling Fig. 5-2
Fuel storage
Take all the necessary precautions to ensure that stored
fuel does not become polluted with dirt, water or other
substances.
- Store fuel in black iron cans. Do not store it in galva-
nized cans as the galvanizing treatment would react
with the fuel and form compounds that would spoil
the injection pump and injectors.
- Store fuel cans away from direct sunlight and slightly
tilted, so that any sediment inside is eliminated
through the outlet tube.
- To make sludge and condensation water easier to re-
move, there should be a discharge plug in the lowest
point, on the opposite side to the drain tube. Fig.5-2a
