• Do not clean, adjust or maintain
the equipment driven with PTO,
when the engine is running.
Safety precautions during the
maintenance
• Never refuel the tractor when the
engine is running.
• Never smoke when refuelling.
• Never fill the tank to the top.
Leave some space for fuel expan-
sion.
• Never add gasoline or mixtures to
diesel fuel. These combinations
can increase the risk of fire or ex-
plosion.
• Use the summer or winter fuel
grades properly. Refill the tank at
the end of each day to reduce night
moisture condensation.
• To avoid fuel spillage during the
mechanized refuelling of the trac-
tor, remove the mesh filter from the
fuel tank neck. The mesh filter is
designed for tractor manual refuel-
ling under field conditions.
• Fill in the tractor with oils and lub-
ricants recommended by the manu-
facturer. Application of other lubri-
cating materials is strictly forbid-
den!
• Any operations related to cleaning
the engine and tractor, pre-
operation, maintenance, etc. should
be performed with the engine
stopped and tractor braked.
• Cooling system operates under
pressure, which is maintained by a
valve installed in the cap of the fill-
er neck. It is dangerous to re-
move the lid on the hot diesel
engine. To avoid burns of hands
and face, unplug the radiator neck
cap on the hot engine carefully,
having put a thick cloth on the cap
and a gauntlet on the hand.
• To avoid burns, be careful when
draining the cooling fluid or water
from the cooling system and/or hot
oil from the engine, hydraulic sys-
tem and transmission.
• When servicing the storage bat-
teries, be careful because the con-
tact of electrolyte with the skin
causes burns.
• To avoid the risk of explosion,
keep any sources of open flame
away from the engine fuel system
and storage batteries.
• Keep the tractor and its equip-
ment, particularly the brakes and
steering, in serviceable condition to
ensure your and bystanders’ safety.
• Do not make any modifications to
the tractor or any parts thereof
without approval of your dealer and
manufacturer.
Safety requirements during op-
eration and maintenance of elec-
trical equipment
• To avoid damage of semiconduc-
tor devices and resistors, observe
the following precautions:
- do not disconnect the storage bat-
tery (SB) terminals with the engine
running. This will cause peak volt-
age to appear in the discharge cir-
cuit and lead to unavoidable failure
of diodes and transistors;
- do not disconnect electric cables
until the engine is shut down and
all switches are off;
- do not allow a short circuit to oc-
cur due to incorrect wire connec-
tion. Short circuit or wrong polarity
will cause failure of diodes and
transistors;
- do not connect the SB to electrical
equipment system until the polarity
