FOR THE ATTENTION OF OPERATORS
1. Before starting work thoroughly study the present operation manual and strictly follow
all operation and maintenance directions.
2. Be sure to run the tractor in for thirty hours. Put load up to 80% of rated power before
the first maintenance M-1 (125 hours).
3. Your tractor is equipped with range-type gear box. It means ranges are shifted by
means of toothed-type coupling and gears within each range – by synchronizers.
To shift the range:
— Press out the clutch pedal and wait until full tractor stop;
— Using range shifting lever smoothly and without jerks engage the required range;
— Smoothly release the clutch pedal.
To put in gear:
— Press out the clutch pedal;
— Smoothly, without sharp jerks move gear shifting lever and hold it pressed until gear is
fully put in;
— Smoothly release the clutch pedal.
Put in gears within the range while running only during transport operation on hard surface
and dirt roads. During the off-road (ploughed field, peat field, sand soil) tractor travel
gear shifting while running IS NOT ALLOWED due to sharp stop of the machine. In this
case use earlier selected gear to travel across these legs. Failure to observe these
operation directions leads to fast wear of gears’ splines and toothed-type couplings, as
well as damage of synchronizers.
ATTENTION! If, with clutch pedal pressed out, ranges and gears are shifted with grinding
sound, promptly address the dealer’s center to correct malfunction.
4. Follow directions for switching PTO. With PTO control lever engaged, smoothly, with
2…4 s delay in the middle of travel from the neutral to PTO switching to avoid damage
of shaft, reduction gears and PTO driving end.
5. Make adjustment of wheel and parking brakes only on horizontal terrain with diesel shut
down and wedges placed at the front and back sides of rear wheels to exclude
accidental movement of the tractor.
6. Do not operate the tractor without storage batteries connected to the electrical
equipment system and “ground” switch being off with the running engine.
