. TRACTOR PREPARING FOR OPERATION
GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
When putting a new tractor into operation
proceed as follows:
• clean the tractor;
• take the protective poly-chlorine vinyl
covers off;
• attentively inspect the tractor, check its
completeness, remove storage batteries,
bring them into operation and replace into
the same position;
• install the drain cocks of the radiator
and diesel cylinders’ block which are en-
closed to the tractor and kept in a sepa-
rate packing box;
• check tightening of the carving joints
and, if needed, tighten;
• unpack the muffler laid in a tractor’s
cabin and install it on an exhaust manifold
so that an exit cut of the pipe is turned
forward the tractor movement. Then in-
stall a tension band at a distance of
8…12 mm from the muffler socket flank.
Clamp nuts are to be tightened with tor-
que of 44…56 N·m;
• check oil level in the diesel engine
crankcase, transmission, front driving
axle housing and final drive reducers, in
the oil tanks of hydraulic system and hy-
drostatic steering system, and if neces-
sary, add more;
• empty the fuel out of the fuel tanks and
fill them with settled fresh fuel: in winter –
with winter fuel, in summer – with sum-
mer one.
• fill the diesel cooling system with coo-
lant fluid up to the level of upper flank of
the filler neck;
• check and if necessary, adjust tension
of the generator belt;
• lubricate tractor’s mechanisms and
components in accordance with the rec-
ommendations of the present Operators
manual;
• check and, if necessary, adjust the
tires to the normal inflation.
ATTENTION! Before operating a tractor,
make sure that all the guards (guards of
rear PTO shank, etc.) are in place.
PREPARING FOR STARTING AND STARTING THE DIESEL ENGINE
Normal temperature starting (+4°С and
above)
IMPORTANT! Start the diesel engine
and perform the devices control only
when sitting in an operator’s seat.
IMPORTANT! Never start the diesel en-
gine with an empty cooling system!
• Apply a parking brake of a tractor;
• Open a fuel tank cock;
• Fill a fuel supply system with fuel and
bleed it for air removal;
• Put fuel supply control levers in mid-
position, and PTO control lever - in
“Off” position;
• Put the transmission gearshift levers in
neutral position;
• Switch “Storage battery” button on;
• Turn the key-start switch to the position
“I” (fixed). At the same time an oil
pressure warning light will illuminate in
the block of the warning lights indicat-
ing emergency oil pressure in the hy-
drostatic steering system, and a warn-
ing light indicating oil pressure in the
diesel engine (a buzzer sounds) as
well as air pressure indicator (if it is
less than acceptable), voltage indicator
and fuel-level indicator (if the fuel tank
