This ensures the start in cold conditions and
reduces the wear on the engine. 2 − 3 hours warm
up before starting is enough. When the engine
heater is connected to the plug socket you can hear
a hissing sound which means that the warm up is
on.
NOTE: If tractor driving is for a short − distance,
make sure that the battery is charged enough to
ensure restarting.
5.2.2. Starting with aerosol
CAUTION: The use of STARTING
AEROSOLS is absolutely forbidden
(due to the automatic glowing).
DANGER OF EXPLOSION.
5.2.3. Starting with auxiliary batteries
− Check that the auxiliary batteries have the same
voltage as the standard battery.
− Open the battery plugs to avoid risk of explosion
WARNING: A fully charged battery
connected directly to a dead battery can
cause a current surge which can cause
the batteries to explode. The correct
procedure is as follows:
− Connect the (+) terminal of the auxiliary battery to
the (+) terminal on the tractor battery. Then connect
the other jump lead from the ( − ) terminal of the
auxiliary battery to the e.g. attaching bolt of the
battery ground cable.
− When the engine has started, first disconnect the
jump lead between the ground and the ( − ) terminal
of the auxiliary battery. Then remove the jump lead
between the (+) terminals.
Start the engine using the ignition switch. Always
follow the correct procedure. Never try to start the
engine by short−circuiting leads.
Having started the engine, declutch, select the
correct gear, and release the parking brake.
Steadily increase the engine speed, and release the
clutch pedal slowly.
5.3. Driving
− In cold conditions warm the engine to normal
operating temperature before applying any loading.
Remember that there is heavier wear on the engine
when running cold than at normal operating
temperature.
− Keep an eye on the warning lamps and gauges
WARNING!
1. Do not keep your foot on the clutch
pedal, or maintain it at a mid − way
position.
2. Do not descend slopes with the
tractor in gear and the clutch disengaged.
3. When turning on headlands with heavy,
mounted implements, reduce the engine
speed to 1300 revs/min.
4.If the engine is not running the steering is not
power − assisted.
WARNING! When coupling implements
or other operations where precise
movements are needed the foot pedal
must always be used.
DANGER! If the tractor engine is left
running be sure not to leave anybody in
the cab. The parking brake must always
be applied.
- Never stop the engine immediately after a hard
working shift. Allow the engine to idle for a few
minutes so that the temperature falls.
- Lower the implement.
- Stop the engine and turn the ignition switch to the
"O" position.
IMPORTANT: Never turn off the current before the
engine has stopped.
Fill up the fuel tank when finishing work for the day
in order to prevent condensation.
5.3.1. Changing gear
Select the ratio which gives the optimum fuel
consumption without overloading the engine and the
transmission. Bear in mind at the same time that
soil conditions can vary within a matter of a few
yards in the same field. Select a ratio which allows
the engine to operate comfortably at about 75 % of
its maximum power.
The highest speeds of the individual gears, see
speed ranges.
To change to neutral while the engine is running
use the gear lever, not the range lever. This
minimizes the number of gears that remain
engaged.

First choose the right speed range with the RH side
lever:
H = High range
M = Low range
