Safety notes
X6 - P/N 6525032M1
9. Operating the clutch.
Prolonged clutch slipping at high engine speed with
large loads will cause the clutch disc to heat up,
thereby reducing its working life. For optimum life of
the clutch, both the tractor load and the engine speed
rate should be reduced when starting from parking
position.
10. Further instructions for the operator.
The Operation and Maintenance Manual provides
instructions to ensure that the tractor is always used
in safe conditions. Please comply strictly to them.
If your tractor is also driven by other people, make sure
that they are fully aware of these accident prevention
instructions and that they are licensed for driving this
vehicle.
It is forbidden to carry anyone on the outer structure
of the tractor or on mudguards in any circumstances.
This is because the safety frame that protects against
overturning is only designed to protect persons inside
the cab or roll-over protection structure, correctly
seated and wearing properly fastened safety belts.
11. Instructor's seat use
a. An eventual second seat in the cab is only provided
for a driving instructor.
b. The passenger must always fasten the safety belt
when the tractor is moving.
c. It is forbidden to transport any passenger during
normal work operation on the field or on road.
12. Chemical filters for the cab.
Use of a filter with chemical absorbent in air-condi-
tioned cabs can reduce ambient contamination on
the cab.
PERSONAL PROTECTION EQUIPMENT FOR THE
DRIVER MAY BE HOWEVER NECESSARY WHEN
USING CHEMICAL SUBSTANCES.
Wash the tractor and driver's seat accurately accord-
ing to the directions on the product label.
ALWAYS follow the instructions on the labels of the
chemical substances and on the filters to be used.
13. Battery
For detailed information, see the sections Maintenance
- Electric system.
5. Economy Power take-off
As shown in the Operation and Maintenance Manual,
the economy PTO is a feature that makes it possible
to use the PTO at standard speed using lower RPM
rates to reduce fuel consumption.
The economy PTO does not need to use the maximum
power of the engine, but it is designed to save fuel.
When using the Economy PTO, make sure that the
implement input shaft RPM NEVER exceeds the rec-
ommended RPM for the implement, e.g. max. 610
RPM for a 6 spline shaft (540 RPM), and max. 1170
RPM for a 21 spline shaft (1000 RPM).
6. Working on slopes.
It is important to note that, when working on very steep
slopes, the lubrication conditions in the transmission
may be reduced. This is caused by the oil flowing
towards the front or rear part of the transmission unit.
Special measures and extra lubrication may be re-
quired when using the tractor in a safe condition.
Your Argo Tractors Dealer will be able to assist you
if you expect to work on slopes of over 15°.
WARNING: Risk of overturning.
Stability and adherence on sloping ground
might easily change according to soil and
weather conditions. Use the tractor with ut-
most care.
7. Remote hydraulic controls.
The hydraulic system of the tractor may be used in
some particular applications to operate the hydraulic
motors.
When using these applications, note that the hydraulic
motors can generate considerable heat and the oil
cooling system of the tractor may not be sufficient
when these high-power hydraulic motors are used.
Some remote applications have an extra cooling sys-
tem. However, every time they are used, make sure
that the oil is cooled and filtered sufficiently in order
to avoid damage to the tractor's hydraulic system.
8. Towing heavy loads (trailers, etc.)
When heavy loads are towed, the road rules in some
countries require a supplementary braking system
(e.g. air or hydraulic trailer brakes).
Consult your Argo Tractors Dealer for any further
requirements there may be for special applications.
