SECTION 2
CONTROLS, INSTRUMENTS AND OPERATION
BEFORE OPERATING
CAUTION
Before driving or operating the tractor, study the
safety precautions in Section 1 of this Manual.
Read this section thoroughly. It details the location
and operation of the various instruments, switches
and controls on your tractor. Even if you operate
other tractors, you should thoroughly read this
section of the manual and ensure that you are
familiar with the location and function of all the
features of the tractor.
Do not start the engine or attempt to drive or operate
the tractor until you are fully accustomed with all the
controls. It is too late to learn once the tractor is
moving. If in doubt about any aspect of operation of
the tractor, consult your authorised dealer.
Pay particular attention to the recommendations for
running--in to ensure that your tractor will give the
long and dependable service for which it was
designed.
This section is split into various subjects, as follows.
Where a feature requires setting up and running
adjustments in the field, detailed instructions will be
found in Section 3, Field Operation. Instructions for
the operation of various optional accessories will be
found in Section 6.
Lubrication and maintenance requirements will be
found in Section 4. Tractor specifications are listed in
Section 7.
A comprehensive index is provided at the end of this
manual.
INTEGRATED CONTROL PANELS (ICP)
The appearance of the switch groups on the ICP in
your tractor may appear differently to those shown in
the Operator’s Manual. However, their operation will
be identical to that described.
PROGRAMMING TRACTOR FUNCTIONS
Your tractor is equipped with APM (Automatic
Productivity Management), a system that utilises
electronic memory facilities to programme and
control various operating functions. An operating
memory temporarily stores settings and adjustments
made while operating the tractor and these are
transferred to the main memory when you key--off
(engine stop).
If you key--off and key--on again too quickly as data
is being transferred between the operating and main
memories, some of the data may be lost or
corrupted.
If changes have been made to any memorised
settings while operating the tractor, pause for five
seconds between key--off and key--on to provide
sufficient time for data to transfer between the
operating memory and the main memory. Once
transferred, the new settings will remain unchanged
until they are re--programmed.
