ATTENTION OF THE TRACTOR OPERATORS!
1. Prior to operating the tractor, read carefully this User Manual and follow strictly its
requirements.
2. Apply the climatic diesel fuel according to the Manual. Reduce the motor oil
changeover intervals by half, if the sulphur content in the fuel is below 1%.
3. Do not allow the diesel engine idling for more than 15 minutes.
4. Please keep in mind that the engine can be only started when the gearbox lever is
set to the leftmost position (to the position of engagement of the 1
st
or 2
nd
range of
gears).
5. When operating the tractor without the rear PTO, put the switchover shifter arm of
the independent two-speed PTO drive to position I (540 rpm), the independent
synchronous PTO drive – to the neutral (middle) position and the control lever – to
the position “PTO OFF” (refer to Section “Operating controls and Instrumentation”).
6. Use the synchronous PTO drive at the tractor unit movement speeds not exceeding
8 km/h. Otherwise, severe damages of the tractor transmission can be caused.
7. The tractor should be only operated at the 9
th
gear with the higher gear range (range
II) engaged.
8. The tractor cab is equipped with a single seat and only the operator must be in.
9. When shipping the tractor from the factory, some tractor components are packed in
the box of spare parts and accessories, toolbox or cab. Fit them onto the tractor by
your own.
10. When putting new storage batteries into operation, remove the airtight film from the
air holes or cut the lugs on PE plugs off.
11. Do not allow tractor operation with the clutch disengaged or incompletely engaged.
12. When starting the movement, make sure that the manual reserve parking brake is
off.
