Tractor identification

Machine identification data

The tractor and its main components are identified by

serial numbers and/or manufacturing codes. Here

under the positions of the various identification data

are illustrated.

NOTE: Identification data should be communicated to your

Dealer for requests of spare parts or service.

Tractor identification plate (Fig.1-

The manufacturer’s plate is placed on the right-hand

side on the front of the tractor and features the following

data:

- Manufacturer

- Machine type

- Number of authorization for road circulation

- Frame number

- Manufacturing year

- Weights

- Rated engine power in kW

- CE mark

Other data are indicated on the authorization certificate.

Tractor identification number

The vehicle identification number is punched both on

the data plate and on the right-hand front side of the

weight frame. (Fig.1-2.)

Tractor identification data

The engine has its own serial number stamped on the

engine data plate (Fig.1-3).

IMPORTANT: Keep with care this operation and

maintenance manual on your tractor. Before driving or

operation your tractor, it is mandatory to read this manual

very carefully, with special attention to the chapter

concerning safety rules. Keep the manual always ready at

hand in the manual storage compartment for easier

reference (Fig. 1-4).

Fig.1-2 Tractor type and chassis serial number (on

radiator core support).

Fig.1-3 Engine serial number

Fig.1-1 Tractor identification plate

Fig.1-4

Also compliance with and strict adherence to the

operation service and maintenance conditions

specified by the Manufacturer are substantial part of

the intended use.

If the tractor must be used in very heavy-duty

conditions (e.g. deep water or extremely muddy soils),

you should ask your Dealer for specific instructions, to

avoid invalidating the guarantee.

For the operation, service and maintenance of this

tractor you need to know perfectly its specific features

and to be precisely informed about the pertaining

safety standards (injury prevention).

Customers are strongly advised to turn to an official

Dealer in connection with any problem regarding

service and adjustments.

WARRANTY, PRE-DELIVERY

INSPECTIONS AND INSTALLATION

The Company, when selling new goods to their

Dealers, gives a warranty that, subject to certain

conditions, guarantees that the goods are free from

defects in material and workmanship. As this manual is

published for worldwide diffusion, it is impossible to

give a precise and detailed description of the terms and

clauses of the warranty granted in each country for

retail sale. The buyers of new tractors should therefore

ask their Dealer for full details.

According to the Company’s policy of continuous

improvement to its machines, changes in their

technical features may be made at any time without

notice. The Company accepts no responsibility for

discrepancies which may occur between the

specifications of its machines and the descriptions

thereof contained in its publications.

A Dealer is required to carry out certain activities when

supplying a new tractor. These consist of a full pre-

delivery inspection to ensure that the tractor supplied

is ready for immediate use, and full instruction in the

basic principles of operation and maintenance of the

tractor. These instructions will cover instruments and

controls, routine maintenance and safety precautions.

All persons who will be concerned with the operation

and maintenance of the machine should be present for

these instructions.

NOTE: The Manufacturer will not accept responsibility for

any claim resulting from the fitment of non-approved parts

or attachments, or unauthorized modification or alteration.

Introduction - Warranty

INTRODUCTION

NONO

NOTETE

TETE

TE: This manual is distributed with tractors all over

the world. The equipment indicated as standard or

optional may vary according to the country where the

tractor operates. Please ask your Dealer for full details of

the equipment available in your country.

The purpose of this book is to enable the owner and

driver to operate the tractor in a safe manner. Provided

that the instructions are followed carefully, the

equipment will give years of service in our tradition.

If you should not understand any part of this booklet,

please do not hesitate to ask your Dealer for advice, as

these instructions must be correctly understood and

complied with. It is advisable to perform a daily

maintenance routine and to keep a register to record

the work hours of the machine.

When new parts are required it is important that only

genuine service parts are used. Authorized Dealers

supply genuine parts and can give advice regarding

their fitment and use. . Customers are therefore

required to buy their service parts only from an

authorized Dealer.

These tractors are designed exclusively for normal an

typical agricultural operations, following the operating

instructions contained in this manual.

THE TRACTOR IS UNSUITABLE FOR USE IN FORESTAL

OPERATIONS.

It may become suitable for such use if a forestal kit is

installed which is CE marked and approved and whose

installation is approved by the manufacturer.

The installation and modification of the tractor must

be carried out with the highest technical standards by

specialised workshops with qualified personnel. Such

workshops must be able to guarantee and attest the

risk analysis provided for in the Machinery Directive

2006/42/EC concerning the foreseen and predictable

use of the tractor for forestal work and environment, in

order to carry out all required adaptations of the

tractor. This specific forestal kit must protect the

driver’s seat from falling and penetrating objects.

Use in any other way is considered as contrary to the

intended use. The Manufacturer of the tractor accepts

no liability for any damage or injury resulting from

misuse; any resulting risks must be borne solely by the

user.

WARRANTY CLAIM

A correct installation, followed by a regular maintenance,

can do much to prevent malfunctions or breakdowns. If

operation problems should be however encountered

during the warranty period, the warranty should be claimed

with the following procedure.

The Dealer by whom you purchased the tractor should

be promptly informed, stating model and serial number.

It is most important that there should be no delay, and

you should realise that, even where the original failure is

covered by warranty, if the failure is not repaired

immediately, warranty cover may not apply.

You should give your Dealer as many information as

possible, for instance work hours, current type of work

and warning signs.

It should be noted that normal maintenance services such

as tuning, brake/clutch adjustments, and the supply of

materials used to service the tractor (oil, filters, fuel and

antifreeze) are not covered by terms of the warranty.

SPARE PARTS WARNING

The fitment of parts of inferior quality may not only impair

machine performances, but also be dangerous for

operator’s health and safety. The manufacturer of the

tractor will not take the responsibility for any loss, damage

or liability resulting from the fitment of such parts, and, if

fitted during the normal warranty period, the

manufacturer’s warranty may be invalidated.

IF YOU MOVE

The Dealer by whom you bought your tractor is sole

responsible for the protection given by your warranty.

We recommend that any repair of your machine should

be made by the Dealer. If you, however, move to another

area or the tractor must momentarily operate in an area

far from the original Dealer, you should ask your Dealer

for name and address of the Dealer nearest to the new

work site, so that the warranty is transferred to the latter.

If you moved from the area of your original Dealer without

any arrangements with the new Dealer, the latter will

give you assistance for emergencies, but will charge

normal prices, unless:

a. You make it clear that the warranty has not expired,

and

b. the Dealer making the repair can make the due

arrangements with the original Dealer.

POST-WARRANTY SERVICE

During the warranty period it is advisable to let your Dealer

perform every repair and servicing. In this way the Dealer

is able to keep under control operation and performances

of your new tractor.

In order to obtain the best performances from your tractor,

it is important to go on with regular checks and servicing

even after the warranty is expired. Make use of your local

Dealer for all major tractor services: a trained engineer

will spot any problems between one service and the next.

Our engineers are regularly trained and updated on the

product, servicing techniques and the use of modern

service tools and diagnostic equipment. They receive

regular Service Bulletins, have all Workshop Manuals and

other such technical information to ensure that the repair

or service is to the standard required.

SAFETY

The safety of the operator is one of the main concerns in

designing and developing a new tractor. Designers build

in as many safety features as possible. However, every

year many accidents occur which could have been avoided

by a few seconds thought and a more careful approach to

handling farm machinery and implements. Therefore you

are required to read through and implement the safety

instructions detailed in the Safety Notes section of this

book.

CAUTION: In some of the illustrations used in

this Operator Instruction Book, panels or guards

may have been removed for clarity. Never ope-

rate the tractor without these components in

position. If the removal of panels or guards is

necessary to make a repair, they MUST be

replaced before operation.

Safety notes

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.

This machine is NOT designed:

- 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.

More basic rules

- Keep the cab doors closed while the machine is being used.

- The machine must be used only by a skilled operator who knows perfectly controls and driving technique.

- Controls MUST be operated only from the operator’s seat. It is formally FORBIDDEN to operate ANY controls, in

particular hitch and power take-off controls, from outside the operator’s seat or standing outside the tractor.

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 under 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.
