1.4 - WARRANTY1.4.1 - Delivery and installationThe dealer is required to perform certain tasks on delivery of the tractor to the customer. Carry out a complete check in order to enorder to en-sure the tractor can be used immediately; illustrate the safety regulations and provide detailed explanations of the instructions given in the Use and Maintenance manual on using the controls, maintenance procedures, starting and stopping the tractor, and the use of all equipment, including the lift and PTO. All persons who will be using the tractor must attend the training session.

NoteThe manufacturer accepts no liability for any claims arising following the installation of nonapproved components, implements or connections or unauthorised modifications or replacements.

For the period of coverage of your tractor check the terms in the warranty certificate.The warranty includes the replacement of defective parts and the relative labour, excluding tractor transport costs from the end cuend cu-stomer to the dealer/importer and/or its authorised workshops and vice versa.The warranty only applies if the tractor has been used in compliance with the manufacturers instructions and has not been subject to tampering. The warranty will be invalidated immediately if modifications and/or repairs are executed by persons lacking the neces-sary authorisation from SAME DEUTZFAHR.The warranty will be invalidated also in the following situations:

l Failure to observe and execute the maintenance programmes and the obligatory services prescribed by the manufacturer;l Modifications carried out without the permission of SAME DEUTZFAHR;l Repairs or maintenance work performed with nonoriginal spare parts;l Incorrect use of the tractor;l Improper use of implements or incorrect mounting of implements;l Use of lubricants/fuel with specifications other than the specifications prescribed and recommended by SAME DEUTZFAHR.

SAME DEUTZFAHR cannot be held liable for any damage to the tractor occurring due to improper use or malfunctions of other equipment connected to the tractor.The warranty covers exclusively damage and/or malfunctions of the tractor. Users are not entitled to any coverage in respect of lost production, or presumed or proven damage occurring to implements coupled to the tractor.Exclusions from the warranty:

l All consumable materials and materials subject to normal wear and tear (e.g. batteries, clutch/brake discs, lubricants, filters, belts, fuel...);

l All consumable materials such as oil and fluids;l Damage and/or breakages deriving from failure to observe/perform the operations prescribed in the periodic maintenance

programmes illustrated in the Use and Maintenance Handbook;l Damage caused by incorrect repairs performed by unauthorised workshops or personnel;l Damage due to lost production and/or loss of crops;l Costs arising from the hire of replacement tractors during downtime of the tractor caused by repairs carried out under war-

ranty;l Breakage of all types of glass, windows (doors, rear window, windscreen).

1.4.2 - Warranty procedureProper use of the tractor combined with regular maintenance is essential to prevent malfunctions. However, if malfunctions occur during the period of validity of the warranty, observe the following procedure:

l contact the dealer from which the tractor was purchased immediately, specifying the tractor model and serial number. The end customer is obliged to report all faults or defects concerning the tractor no later than 8 days after any such faults or defects are first observed, on pain of invalidation of the warranty;

l provide your dealer with as much information as possible. The dealer should therefore know the number of operating hours, the type of work performed by the tractor and the symptoms of the problem. Remember that standard maintenance operations such as, for example, setup and adjustment of brakes/clutch, and the supply of service materials (oil, filters, fuel and antifreeze liquid) are not covered by the warranty.

1.4.3 - TransportThe dealer from which you purchased the tractor is solely responsible for the warranty so we strongly advise that all maintenance and any repairs that may become necessary be entrusted to your dealer. If the tractor is moved to a different location, inform your dealer so that the warranty responsibility can be transferred to the dealer closest to the area in which the tractor is being used.If no arrangements are made with the new dealer, all services provided by the latter will be charged at standard rates.

1.4.4 - Post-warranty assistanceTo get the most from your tractor it is essential to continue to carry out regular maintenance checks and servicing even after the end of the warranty term. Consult your dealer for all the main service operations: have the tractor checked over by a skilled technician between one service and the next.Workshop technicians and dealers authorised by the SAME DEUTZFAHR group are fully trained and kept up to date on the tractors, service procedures and the use of modern diagnostic instruments and equipment. They are regularly provided with service bulletins and are in possession of all the relevant workshop manuals and all the necessary technical information to ensure that repairs and service operations are performed to the highest standards.

l Never start the engine in an closed space. Ensure the area is adequately ventilated.

l Do not weld or heat any painted parts. Toxic fumes could be given off. Re-move paint by abrasion first, before heating the part. Always perform these operations in a suitable wellventilated area.

Fig. 12

l Before refuelling always switch off the engine and remove the ignition key. NEVER refuel when the engine is still hot

l NEVER refuel in the presence of naked flames or sparks: diesel fuel is highly inflammable. Clean up any fuel spills immediately! Do not smoke during refuelling.

l DO NOT fill the fuel tank right to the filler neck; always allow room for ex-pansion of the fuel.

Fig. 13

l Wear closefitting clothing. Avoid wearing loosefitting jackets, shirts or ties.l Passengers may only be carried safely if the tractor is equipped with a proper passenger seat and all the relevant require-

ments of the local highway code are satisfied. If not, the carrying of passengers is PROHIBITED.l DO NOT allow anyone to sit on the roll bar or on the fenders.

CAUTIONDO NOT allow anyone to climb on the implement or other equipment, including trailers, except for certain harvesting machines specifically designed to carry one or more persons during harvesting operations (not for transportation).

l Before leaving the operator position, remember to lower the 3point linkage and/or any implement mounted on the tractor. Put all controls in neutral, apply the handbrake, switch off the engine, engage first gear (on tractors with mechanical gearbox), remove the key from the ignition switch and to turn the battery earth switch to off (where present).

l When the tractor is in operation, do not allow anyone to approach the drive shaft, hooks, swinging drawbar, link arms, PTO shafts, lifting cylinders, drive belts, pulleys or any other moving parts. Make sure that all protections and guards are correctly installed in their respective locations.

2.4 - ACCIDENT PREVENTION AND PERSONAL SAFETYCAUTIONSome of the illustrations in this manual show the tractor with panels or guards and panels removed for the sake of clar-ity. Do not use the tractor unless these guards and panels are fitted correctly. If it is essential to remove these guards or panels in order to repair the tractor, they MUST be refitted before starting the tractor.

2.4.1 - Safety clothing and equipmentWear the appropriate protective clothing and safety equipment for the task in hand.

Equip yourself with the following:l a hard hatl safety spectacles or face shield visorl protective gloves (neoprene for chemical products, leather for heavy work)l ear defendersl respirator or filter maskl waterproof clothingl reflective clothingl safety footwear

Fig. 17

For safety reasons, it is also advisable to keep a fire extinguisher and first aid kit in the tractor.

Fig. 18

DO NOT wear loose fitting clothing, jewellery, chains or other accessories. ALWAYS tie back long hair, which otherwise could become entangled in control levers or in other parts of the tractor.Do not wear headphones to listen to the radio or music while operating the tractor.

2.4.2 - Exposure to noiseThe tractor and any implements mounted or attached to it constitute a source of noise, the intensity and frequency of which can be measured using the appropriate instruments.Anyone who uses the tractor must know that:

l exposure to excessive and/or prolonged noise can cause serious damage, not just to the hearing but also to general health. The higher the noise level (dbA) and the greater the duration of exposure, the higher the risk. The combination of both these factors can expressed in the value LEP (level of personal exposure to noise).

l you therefore need to know the noise level generated by the tractor. For further information, refer to the Technical Data Sec-tion in this Operation and Maintenance Manual.

l the use of hearing protection is essential when the noise level exceeds a certain value and/or when operating the tractor for prolonged periods. The point at which action is to be taken is generally when the level of personal exposure reaches or ex-ceeds 85 db(A). Various types of protection are available, including ear defenders, ear plugs and helmets.

2.4.3 - Protection and safety devicesEnsure that all the tractor safety devices are in places and properly secured. Make sure that all guards, protections and safety signals are properly installed in accordance with specifications and are in good condition.Some of these devices are NECESSARY and, depending on local regulations, may be legally required in order to operate your tractor in safety.DO NOT remove or disconnect any of the safety devices.To improve the safety of the operator and other personnel in the vicinity, check that the tractor is equipped with:

l seat beltsl PTO shaft shieldl Rearview mirrorsl SMV (slow moving vehicle) sign, additional safety guards, additional lights and decals.l hazard warning triangle.

2.4.4 - Daily check of the tractor and implementsl Before starting work, check over the tractor and any attached implements and make sure that all the devices are in place and

in good working order.l Carry out all the maintenance/adjustment operations indicated in the Maintenance Section of this Operation and Mainte-

nance Manual.CAUTIONNever top up with oil of a different type (class or viscosity) to that already present.

CAUTIONDo not remove the radiator cap when the engine is still hot. The radiator is under pressure when hot, and if opened, boiling liquid and steam can escape and cause serious injury to yourself and anyone else in the vicin-ity. Before removing the radiator cap, stop the engine and wait for the circuit to cool down.

l Inspect the roll bar/cab and seat belt for signs of damage.Damaged protective devices and damaged/worn seat belts MUST be renewed.

l Make sure that any implements or attachments are installed correctly and, in the case of PTOdriven implements, that the PTO shaft rpm matches the rotation speed of the implement.

l Check inflation pressures and check tyres for cuts or swellings. Worn or damaged tyres must be changed immediately.l Check the efficiency of the service and parking brakes. If necessary, adjust the parking brake or have it adjusted by your dealer

or authorised service centre.l Check that the PTO shaft shield and the cover are installed when the PTO is NOT in use.l Check the hydraulic systems of the tractor and the implement. Any leaks or damaged parts MUST be repaired or replaced.

CAUTIONFuel or oil under pressure may penetrate the skin or eyes, causing serious injury, blindness or even death. Highpressure fluid leaks may not be visible. Use a piece of cardboard or wood when looking for leaks. NEVER use your hands. Wear safety goggles to protect your eyes. If any fluid penetrates your skin, seek immediate attention from medical personnel with experience of this particular problem.

l Before pressurising the fuel or hydraulic circuits, check that the connections are tight and that the hoses, unions, etc, are not damaged. Before disconnecting any components in the fuel or hydraulic circuits, make sure that circuit is depressurised.

2.4.5 - Boarding and alighting from the tractorClimb up and down from the operator position slowly, facing the tractor, using the handrail and access steps.

To avoid falling, always maintain three points of contact at a time (both hands on the handrails and one foot on the steps or one hand on the handrail and both feet on the steps).

Fig. 19

l DO NOT use the control levers for handholds.l DO NOT climb up using the pedals as footholds.l DO NOT attempt to board or alight from the tractor when it is moving; wait until it has come to a complete stop.l NEVER jump down from the tractor, unless in an emergency.

Carry out the following operations before alighting from the tractor:l Apply the parking brake.l Move all controls to the neutral position, (remember to disengage the PTO).l Lower the 3point linkage and any implement attached to the tractor to the ground;l Stop the engine.l Engage first gear on tractors with mechanical gearboxes; on tractors with hydraulic gearboxes, always place chocks under

the wheels.l Remove the ignition key.l Alight from the tractor.

2.4.6 - Parking the tractorThe tractor must be parked differently depending on the terrain and operational status of the engine:

l Parking the tractor with the engine offl Parking the tractor with the engine running;l Parking the tractor on steep slopes

Parking the tractor with the engine offl Apply the handbrake.l Move all controls to the neutral position;l Lower the 3point linkage and any implement attached to the tractor, to the ground;l Stop the engine;l Engage first gear on tractors with mechanical gearboxes.

Parking the tractor with the engine runningl Check that noone is in the vicinity of the tractor;l Check that the tractor is parked on level ground;l Apply the handbrake.l Move all drive controls to the neutral position.

Parking the tractor on steep slopesTo park the tractor on slopes, proceed as indicated previously depending on the situation.If it is necessary to park the tractor on a steep slope, even for a short time, position chocks under the rear wheels to prevent it from moving. It is in any case preferable not to park the tractor on sloping terrain.The chocks should normally be positioned under the rear wheels by a second person, who must stand to the side of the tractor at all times.If no assistant is available for this purpose, before alighting from the tractor the operator must fully engage the parking brake, check that tractor is not moving, and then carefully position the chocks under the wheels while standing to the side of the tractor.

2.5 - OPERATIONl DO NOT use the tractor while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.l The tractor speed must ALWAYS be adapted to suit the ground conditions. Avoid sharp turns when travelling up, down or

across slopes. Do not drive at high speed or corner with the differential lock engaged. When driving on slopes, never depress the clutch or change gear.

l Only attach trailers and/or implements in the specified manner. The operation, steering and braking characteristics of the tractor are different when coupled to implements and trailers and when ballast is fitted. Check that the steering and braking characteristics are adequate.

l Before starting the engine, check that all the tractor controls are in neutral position. This is to prevent accidental movement of the vehicle or starting of PTOdriven implements.

l Start engine ONLY when seated in operators seat.l ONLY operate the controls when seated in the operators seat.l Move over to the side of the road to allow faster vehicles to overtake. Before turning, use the direction indicator and slow down.

Ensure that all the lights on the tractor are kept clean.l Make sure that the weight of a towed trailer without brakes does NOT EXCEED that of the tractor. The distance required for

the tractor to come to a stop increases with its speed as the inertia of the towed load increases, particularly on slopes.l Only use the 3point linkage to hitch implements designed for the purpose; do not use it as a towing hitch. For towing use the

rear towing hitch (the front hook is for use in emergencies only). The rear towing hitch must NEVER be set to a position that is higher than the rear axle.

l The travel speed must be such as to allow complete control and stability of the tractor at all times. Where possible avoid oper-ating tractor near ditches, embankments and holes. Reduce speed when turning on slopes and on rough, slippery or muddy ground.

l For safety reasons, it is good practice to engage a suitably low gear before tackling an incline.l DO NOT use ether based products to help start the engine when cold. Follow the instructions given in the Cold starting

heading.

2.5.1 - StartMeticulously follow the procedures recommended in the Section Use of the tractor in this Operation and Maintenance Manual. The Using the Tractor section describes the procedure for normal starting, cold starting and emergency engine starting with a second battery.In all cases, before starting the engine:

l adjust the seat to suit your requirementsl fasten the seat beltl apply the parking brakel put all levers in neutrall for tractors equipped with a mechanical lift, check the position of the levers

In addition to the measures indicated above pay special attention to monitoring the indicator lights and the use of fluids for starting.

2.5.2 - Checking indicator lightsAfter starting, check all the indicator lights and instruments. Check that everything is functioning correctly.If the tractor does not respond correctly to any of the controls, DO NOT use it until the fault has been rectified.

2.5.3 - Starting fluidsIn cold climates, the tractor may be equipped with a thermostarter; for operating instructions, see the paragraph Starting.

DANGERDO NOT use aerosol spray starting aids to start the tractor when the thermostarter is connected to the electrical sys-tem. If ether comes into contact with the thermostarter it can cause an explosion and thus damage the engine and/or cause serious injury.

2.5.4 - Auxiliary equipmentl Implements and trailers must only be attached to the tractor using the appropriate hitches or drawbars. Implements or trailers

may only be towed from the rear towing hitch (the front hitch is only to be used in emergencies). The height of the rear tow-ing hitch should never be positioned at a height that exceeds that of the rear axle. Only use the 3point linkage with suitable implements; do not use it as a tow bar.

CAUTIONDo not stand or allow anyone else to stand between the tractor and the implement, unless the engine is shut off and the key removed from the starter switch, the parking brake applied, a gear engaged and all attachments or implements lowered to the ground.

l For applications using PTOdriven implements with the tractor stationary, always put the gearbox in neutral, apply the parking brake and chock the wheels of the tractor and the implement itself. For further information on safe working procedures, refer to the chapter Parking the tractor.

l DO NOT use PTO drive shaft extensions or adapters that extend the drive shaft or universal joints beyond the protection of the PTO shield.

l Only use attachments and implements approved by the tractor manufacturer.

DANGERDO NOT attempt to uncouple hydraulic connections or adjust implements with the engine running and the PTO rotat-ing. To do so could result in very serious injury or death.

l Check that the 3point linkage is adjusted correctly (see Adjustment of the 3point linkage in the Section Use of the Tractor) in order to ensure that a sufficient number of threads are engaged on the threaded couplings.

l Meticulously follow the producers instructions when storing and handling chemicals. Also follow the instructions of the manu-facturers of the equipment designed for the application of chemical products.

l Before using attachments or implements, read the relative Instruction Manual carefully and follow all the safety instructions.

CAUTIONA front loader (with fork or bucket) must be fitted with a load restraining device (round bales, rolls of fencing, wire, etc,) to prevent the load, when raised, from rolling down from the lift arms onto the driving position and crushing the driver. Inadequately secured objects and loads may fall and injure persons in the vicinity of the tractor.

l DO NOT overload an attachment or trailed implement. Use the proper ballast weights to maintain the stability of the tractor.l Use the safety chain when transporting implements to prevent them becoming detached from the drawbar. Using the appropri-

ate adapters, attach the chain to the towing hitch support or to another anchor point on the tractor. The chain should have only enough slack to allow cornering. Use chains of suitable size and strength for the weight of the trailed implement.

l Make sure that each trailerable implement is equipped with a safety chain to connect it to the tractor.

2.5.5 - Towing safelyFor the maximum towable loads, refer to the paragraph Maximum towable loads in the Technical Data Section.

l Maintain a suitable speed taking into account the weight of the trailed load and the gradient, remembering that braking dis-tances will be greater than with just the tractor. Trailed loads with or without brakes that are too heavy for the tractor or that towed at too high speed may cause the operator to loose of control of the tractor.

l Always take into consideration the total weight of the implements and their loads.

CAUTIONWhen a trailer is hitched to the tractor, before you leave the driving seat remember to put all the controls in neutral, ap-ply the handbrake, switch off the engine, engage first gear (if the tractor has a mechanical transmission) and remove the key from the starter switch. If the tractor is not parked on level ground, ALWAYS place chocks under the wheels of both the tractor and the trailer. For further information on safe working procedures, refer to the chapter Working with stationary implements in the safety section of this manual.

l When trailers are hitched to the tractor, before you leave the operator seat remember to put all the controls in neutral, apply the handbrake, switch off the engine, engage first gear (with mechanical transmissions) and remove the ignition key. ALWAYS chock both the tractor and the trailer wheels. The best way to transport a tractor that has broken down is to transport it on a low loader. Always secure the tractor to the loader bed with chains. Before transporting the tractor on a low loader or on a railway wagon, make sure that the engine hood, doors, openable roof (if present) and windows are all closed and securely fastened. Never tow the tractor at speeds in excess of 10 kph. An operator must stay in the operator position to steer and brake the tractor.

2.5.6 - Driving on the roadDANGERWhen driving downhill never exceed the speed limit for the road and your vehicle and do not allow the engine speed to exceed the maximum permissible rpm.

l Comply with the highway code, including regulations concerning speed limits, correct use of lights, hazard warning lights and slow moving vehicle warning signs.

l When driving the tractor on the road, insert the connecting latch to lock the two brake pedals together. This is to ensure effec-tive, even braking on both sides.

l Make sure that that there is plenty of headroom before passing under power lines, bridges, etc.l Raise all implements to their lowest transport position and lock them in this position.l Disengage the power takeoff and the differential lock.l Use the correct pin for the towing hitch and secure with its locking cotter.l Make sure that all necessary outline markings and the hazard warning lights (if required by local regulations) are in place and

in working order.l Clean all lights required for road use, front and rear, and make sure they are in working order.l The SMV (Slow Moving Vehicle) sign, the rotating beacon, flashing lights or other highvisibility equipment must be used in

compliance with the statutory rules of the highway code.l Fix the swinging towing hitch in a fixed position using the safety locks. If required by the rules of the highway code, affix the

appropriate safety warnings to the load.l DO NOT use work lights during transfer on public roads.l Make sure that the load does not obscure the hazard warning lights or other lights.l The SMV notice must be visibly displayed on the rear of the tractor.l Take extra care when driving on snow covered or icy roads.

2.5.7 - OverturningCAUTIONDO NOT disengage the clutch or change gear after starting to drive down a slope.

CAUTIONNever tow semimounted implements, trailers or agricultural machines by attaching them to the top link of the threepoint linkage. This could cause the tractor to rear up or overturn backwards.

For safety reasons, the tractor is equipped with a rollover protective structure (ROPS), in the form of a fixed roll bar or cab, and seat belts.

In the event of overturning, grip the steering wheel firmly and do not attempt to abandon the vehicle until it is completely stationary. If the cab doors do not open, leave the operator position through the safety hatch identified by the relative de-cals.

Fig. 20

The following precautions should be taken to prevent the possibility of overturning:l Adjust the track width to suit the task in hand.l If the tractor is equipped with a front loader, keep the bucket and load as low as possiblel A tractor with a front loader with loaded bucket should travel in reverse down a downhill slope and forwards on an uphill slopel On rough terrain, moderate the speed to avoid losing control of the steering.l To avoid roll over, always drive the tractor carefully and at a safe speed, especially on loose ground, when crossing ditches or

slopes or turning tight corners.l DO NOT attempt to make tight turns at high speed.

l Use extreme caution when working with the tractor on steep inclines.

l Always drive straight up or down slopes, as traversing slopes across the gradient could cause the tractor to overturn.

Fig. 21

l When travelling up or down hill (on an incline) keep implements as close to the ground as possible.l An unloaded tractor or a tractor with a rearmounted implement should tackle uphill gradients slopes in reverse and downhill

gradients travelling forwards.l DO NOT freewheel down a slope with the clutch disengaged or the gearbox in neutral.l When carrying out tasks requiring high tractive force, engage 4WD, if available.l Only loads suited to the tractor power output may be towed, see the Technical Data Section.l When towing a load at transport speed or in the field, lock the drawbar in the central position and use the safety chain.l NEVER tow by hitching to the top link of the 3point linkage or from any point higher than the centre of the rear wheels.l Always use the towing hitches approved by the manufacturer and the corresponding lock pins.l Use front ballast weights to increase the stability of the tractor when towing heavy loads or to counterbalance a heavy rear

mounted implement.l If the tractor is hitched to a heavy load or a fixed object, improper use of the clutch can cause the tractor to overturn.l If the front of the tractor starts to rise up, reduce speed and, if necessary, disengage the clutch immediately.l Reduce your speed when working on loose or slippery ground and when unseen hazards could be hidden by branches or

leaves.l DO NOT use the tractor to herd animals.

2.6 - MAINTENANCEl DO NOT carry out any maintenance of the tractor with the engine running

or still hot, or with the tractor in motion.

Fig. 22

l Before carrying out repairs or adjustments consult your Dealer and, if necessary, arrange to have the work carried out by specialised technicians.

l The implement and /or the tractor must be supported on suitable wooden blocks or stands. DO NOT use hydraulic jacks.l Before carrying out adjustments and/or maintenance of the electrical system, disconnect the lead from the negative () battery

terminal.

l Incorrect connection of the battery terminals or incorrect connection of the battery to a battery charger could damage the electrical system or even cause the battery to explode. NEVER connect the battery terminals togeth-er. The acid electrolyte contained in the battery is highly corrosive and can cause burns or even blindness if it enters the eyes. In an enclosed space it is toxic. Never smoke or allow a naked flame in the vicinity when filling or topping up the battery with electrolyte. Always wear safety goggles when carrying out operations on the battery.

Fig. 23

l Regularly check the brakes; keep the brake fluid reservoir topped up. Make sure that the brakes are always correctly adjusted, especially when towing trailers.

l NEVER use your hands to trace an oil or fuel leak. Use instead a piece of wood or cardboard for this purpose. Always discharge the pressure before disconnecting any part of a pressurised circuit.

2.7 - SAFETY ROLL BAR (ROPS)2.7.1 - Roll Over Protective Structure (ROPS)The term ROPS (Roll Over Protective Structure) refers to the structural elements intended to protect the operator, secured by a seat belt, from being crushed in the event of the vehicle overturning.

Today, all tractors must be equipped with ROPS or safety cabs approved to inter-national OCDE/EEC standards. However, the presence of these safety devices is not in itself sufficient to guarantee total protection if the operator does not ensure that it is used correctly. Seat belts are another important safety feature and should be worn whenever the tractor is in motion, except in the case described below.

Fig. 25

CAUTIONWhen a tractor equipped with a folding ROPS is being used in a situation in which it is necessary to lower the ROPS, the seat belt must not be worn for as long as the ROPS is kept in the lowered position. This is to enable the operator to jump off the tractor should be about to overturn. However, the seat belt must be used whenever the tractor is oper-ated with the ROPS in the raised position.

CAUTIONThe degree of protection afforded by the ROPS will be reduced if the device is damaged or modified. If the ROPS has been involved in an accident in which the tractor overturned, or it has been modified in any way, it must be replaced immediately.

Important:The ROPS, the operators seat and all the fixings of the safety system must be thoroughly checked after any type of accident and any damaged parts must be renewed. DO NOT attempt to repair or weld the ROPS. NEVER make any modifications to the safety cab. For example, it is strictly forbidden to drill or weld the ROPS in order to install acces-sories.

2.7.2 - Falling Object Protective Structure (FOPS)The term FOPS (Falling Object Protective Structure) identifies the protective structure installed on a tractor in order to avoid or limit operator risk in the event of falling objects during normal operation.

DANGERThis tractor is not equipped with a FOPS. If work must be performed in areas subject to the risk of falling objects from above, consult your dealer before starting work so that the tractor can be equipped with an appropriate protective structure.

2.7.3 - Operator Protective Structure (OPS)OPS (Operator Protective Structure) identifies the protective structure installed on a tractor in order to minimise risk of operator injury caused by objects penetrating into the operator position area.

DANGERThis tractor is not equipped with an OPS. If work must be performed in areas subject to the risk of the penetration of objects into the operator position, consult your dealer before starting work so that the tractor can be equipped with an appropriate protective structure.

Today, all tractors must be equipped with safety cabs approved to international OCDE/EEC standards. However, the presence of these safety devices is not in itself sufficient to guarantee total protection if the operator does not ensure that it is used correctly.

Fig. 26

CAUTIONThe degree of protection afforded by the safety cab will be reduced if the device is damaged or modified. If the cab has been involved in accident in which the tractor overturned, or it has been modified in any way, it should be replaced immediately.

Important:The safety cab, the operators seat and all the fixings of the protective system must be thoroughly checked after any type of accident; all damaged parts must be renewed. DO NOT attempt to repair or weld the ROPS. NEVER make any modifications to the safety cab. For example, it is strictly forbidden to drill or weld the cab in order to install ac-cessories.

2.8.2 - Emergency exitsIf exit from the cab side doors is blocked (following an accident or vehicle overturn) the alternative safety exits are indicated by decals.

Fig. 27

The possible safety exits are:l Rear window hatch (All tractors)l Front window (for versions with openable front window).

2.8.3 - Falling Object Protective Structure (FOPS)The expression F.O.P.S. (Falling Object Protective Structure): refers to a structure installed on the tractor intended to eliminate or reduce the risk to the operator of injury from falling objects during normal use of the vehicle.

DANGERThis tractor is not equipped with a FOPS. If work must be performed in areas subject to the risk of falling objects from above, consult your dealer before starting work so that the tractor can be equipped with an appropriate protective structure.

2.8.4 - Operator Protective Structure (OPS)OPS (Operator Protective Structure) identifies the protective structure installed on a tractor in order to minimise risk of operator injury caused by objects penetrating into the operator position area.

DANGERThis tractor is not equipped with an OPS. If work must be performed in areas subject to the risk of the penetration of objects into the operator position, consult your dealer before starting work so that the tractor can be equipped with an appropriate protective structure.

2.8.5 - Use of hazardous substancesEuropean standard EN 156951 is applicable to the cabs of agricultural or forestry tractors and selfpropelled sprayers.The purpose of the standard is to limit the exposure of the operator (driver) to hazardous substances when applying plant protection products and liquid fertilisers.In accordance with the stipulations of EN 15695-1 regarding cab classification, measurement of the internal positive pres-pres-sure differential must be carried out in conformance with ISO 14269-5:

l the engine operating at nominal speed;l the maximum quantity of air drawn from outside the cab (recirculation closed);l fan set to maximum speed.

The following terms and definitions are applied:l Hazardous substances: substances such as dust, vapours and aerosols, with the exception of fumigants which can be dis-

persed during the application of plant protection products and liquid fertilisers, which may have a harmful effect on the opera-tor.

m Dust: general term identifying solid airborne particles, finely divided and sedimentedm aerosol: suspension of solid, liquid or solid and liquid particulate in a gaseous medium with a negligible fall rate (gener-

ally less than 0.25 ms1)m Vapour: gaseous phase of a substance whose liquid or solid state is stable at 20 C and 1 bar (absolute).

This cab, even when closed, does not protect against the inhalation of hazardous substances. If the manufacturers instructions for using these substances recommend personal protective equipment, wear the equipment even in the cab.

DANGERUse all the personal protective equipment suitable for the tasks in hand and relative substances, in compliance with the requirements of statutory legislation in your country.

Cabs are classified as follows:l Category 1: The cab does not provide protection against hazardous substances.l Category 2: The cab provides protection exclusively from dust.l Category 3: The cab provides protection from dust and aerosol.l Category 4: The cab provides protection from dust, aerosol and chemical vapours.

The classification category, as stipulated by ISO 14269-5, of the cab installed on this range of tractors is given below:l the engine operating at nominal speedl the maximum quantity of air drawn from outside the cab (recirculation closed)l with fan at maximum speed

2.9 - DECOMMISSIONING AND DISPOSAL OF THE TRACTOR2.9.1 - Decommissioning the tractorWhen the tractor becomes inoperative, transfer it to a suitable location to take it out of service and place a clearly visible notice on it informing of its decommissioned status.

2.9.2 - Decommissioning and disposal of the tractorThe tractor contains:

l Fluids (hydraulic system, cooling system, etc.);l Gas (air conditioning system, accumulators, etc.);l Acid (batteries);l Heavy components of the machine;

WARNINGThe tractor must be dismantled exclusively by authorised and qualified companies.

Take the tractor directly to the dealer if you intend to purchase a new tractor.Legislation in some countries state that the organisation accepting the tractor (complete with license plates, logbook and owners certificate or supplementary document) must, at the time of consignment of the tractor, issue an attestation of receipt that relieves the user from any responsibility after consignment of the tractor (fines, accidents, etc.). The document must also show details of the authorisation of the breaker.The tractor is composed of steel, aluminium and plastic components: therefore the majority of the material can be recycled so the scrapping procedure should involve sorting of the materials for subsequent reuse or differentiated disposal.

IMPORTANTNone of the tractor materials are toxic or harmful so they can be handled without taking precautions.

CAUTIONLubricants and fuel must be disposed of in accordance with environmental regulations.

CAUTIONUse exclusively suitable tools and lifting devices, in compliance with the relevant regulations and legislation.
