10.8. Tyres, braking system
Caution! Do not forget that the pneumatic systems of the tractor and aggregated ma-
chines contain high pressure.
Each time prior to departure check the intactness and operability of the brakes!
The brake system shall be regularly and thoroughly controlled! The braking system
shall be only adjusted and repaired by a qualified specialist or reliable service department!
Use the recommended brake fluid only! Pour the brake fluid in accordance with the operat-
ing documentation!
When operating the machines with transport wheels, it is necessary to ensure the
stable position of the machine (wheel chocks!) to prevent the involuntary rollback!
Fitting the tyres requires appropriate habits! It shall be performed by means of special
fitting tools!
The repair works on the tyres and wheels shall be only performed by a qualified spe-
cialist with the use of appropriate fitting tools!
Monitor regularly the pressure in the tyres! It shall correspond to the specified norms!
10.9. Maintenance and repair of the machine-tractor aggregates
The repair, maintenance, cleaning as well as elimination of functional faults shall be
performed on obligatory condition that the hydraulic system, driving mechanisms and engine
are stopped and the ignition key is removed!
Check regularly the degree of tightening of bolts and nuts! If necessary, retighten
them! Pay attention to the fasteners of the tractor body, wheels, coupling arrangements in-
cluding the traction hitch mechanisms and three-point mounted attachments.
Do not perform welding, brazing or mechanical works on the hydraulic accumulators.
When performing the maintenance works on the lifted machine, ensure the stable po-
sition of the machine by means of the respective supporting structures!
When replacing the tools of the machines having sharp cutting edges, it is necessary
to use appropriate tools and gloves!
The oil, grease and filters shall be disposed of appropriately!
Prior to commencement of the maintenance works and repair of the electric equip-
ment, disconnect obligatorily all the electrical instruments and devices!
When performing the electric welding on the tractor and machine, set the battery dis-
connect switch to the OFF position and disconnect the cable and bundles from the storage
batteries and alternator.
Storing the gas implies high risk of explosion!
The spare parts for the tractor and machines shall comply completely with the manu-
facturer’s specifications! To ensure your safety, use original spare parts!
10.10. Additional guidelines for safety of aggregation
The tractor is a high-technology product and belongs to the category of motor vehi-
cles covered by the road regulations and other normative documents regulating the opera-
tion of railless transport.
When reading the Operating Manual for the tractor, pay special attention to the rec-
ommendations for selecting the motion speed and maintaining the allowable loads on the
traction hitch mechanism, mounted attachment, ales and tyres of the tractor. The possibility
of safe motion of the tractor with satisfactory steerability and stability is evaluated by the
steerability criterion, which is characterized by the ratio of the value of the load on the
front axle of the tractor to its standard weight. The steerability criterion is determined by cal-
culation.
The aggregation of the technical means with the tractor is prohibited, if the value of
