REGULAR USE
This is an agricultural tractor, whose function consists essentially in traction power. It is therefore specially designed to
push, pull, carry or operate some interchangeable implements for agricultural purpose, or to tow agricultural trailers.
This machine must be driven and operated by an operator suitably instructed, firmly seated and wearing a fastened seat
belt.
- To be driven or operated standing or from outside the cab or the operator’s seat, or without a fastened seat belt.
- To lift persons.
- To transport persons, within or outside the cab or the operator’s seat, in any condition (work or road transport).
- To be used in hazardous atmosphere.
- To be used in forestry.
- To be equipped with front loaders if the tractor is not provided with a suitable structure to protect the operator’s seat
from falling and projected objects.
- For tractors equipped with collapsible safety frame, see specific instructions in the next pages.
WARNING: Improper use of the machine, specially on rough terrain or slopes, can make it tilt over. Pay
particular attention in case of rain, snow, ice or anyway on slippery ground. It may be necessary to step out of
the tractor to check personally ground quality. In the described conditions, always keep the load as close as
possible to the tractor and the ground.
WARNING: Do not try to get off the moving tractor, even if it is overturning, to avoid being crushed under it, but
remain seated with the well fastened seat belt and hold firmly the steering wheel.
WARNING: If the safety frame mounted on the tractor is the front two-post type, the tractor must always be
used with the frame in upright (vertical) position.

SAFETY FRAME
(With cab only, version with safety frame not available,
for a few markets only).
Use
• Before using the tractor ensure that the safety frame
is not damaged, that it is securely fastened to the
tractor and, if a hinged section is fitted, that it is in
upright position and secured.
• If the safety frame has been removed from the tractor,
or collapsed for a specific operation, it must be refitted
or erected immediately using proper tools and apply-
ing the recommended torque value.
• DO NOT ATTACH chains, ropes or cables to the safety
frame for pulling purposes; this will cause the tractor
to tip backwards. Always pull from the tractor drawbar. Fig.2-2
• Seat belts must always be worn and adjusted snugly
except when operating with a folded down safety
frame (Fig.2-2).
• From time to time, check the seat belt for damage and
replace it if worn or damaged (Fig.2-2).

SAFETY - STARTING UP
Warn bystanders before starting the engine.
Before starting, walk around the whole tractor and any
attached equipment. Make sure that no one is under, on,
or close to the tractor or equipment. Let other workers
and bystanders know you are starting up and don’t start
until everyone is clear of the tractor, implements and
towed equipment.

Safety at starting
Make sure that the tractor dual brake pedals are locked
together at all times unless you are making turns in the
field which require independent use of the brakes. Make
sure the brakes are properly adjusted so that both brakes
engage at the same time.

and cause injury or death. If required, put ballast
weights on their front support and on rear wheels
as described in this section of the Operation chapter.
Ballast weights must be used according to the
manufacturer’s directions. NEVER add extra coun-
terweights to compensate for an overload. It is
better to reduce the load.
Make sure your tractor is ready for the job it must do.
Know the rated load capacities of your tractor and never
exceed them. Be certain that any equipment or implements
you intend to use DO NOT exceed the load rating of your
tractor. Be sure the tractor and implement PTO rev/min
match.

CAB
All non-metallic components within the cab comply with the ISO 3795 standard.
The cab is approved according to OECD codes concerning ROPS test (protection against overturning) and safety belts.
The cab is also approved for FOPS test (protection against falling objects) according to the required code.
Cab
The cab is made of steel section metal and is fixed to
the tractor by a double set of silent-block rubber
dampers that insulate the driving seat from vibrations
and engine noise. This allows the noise level to be kept
at very low values (86 dBA), improving the conditions in
which the operator works (Fig. 3-23).
Doors (5)
The doors can be opened from both the inside and
outside and be kept in the open position by dampers.
Both doors can be locked with a key.
Work lights
The cab can be equipped with additional front (1) and
rear (3) work lights which notably increase the visibility
during night work. The switches to operate the lights
are on the cab roof (Fig. 3-25).
Rotating beacon
The rotating beacon is mounted on the rear part of the
cab. It is operated by means of switch (2 - Fig. 3-5) on

Tyres
The following is a list of possible tyre types and front/rear combinations: consult your dealer for any queries you may
have about these combinations.
For tractors with the overdrive function, only use tyres marked with the words “load index A8”.

may easily slip, causing loss of speed and wear on the
tread plus reduced efficiency on the job. To get the

driving wheels or by filling the tyres with water.

However, you are advised to check the level of the
electrolyte occasionally and top up with distilled water if
necessary.

Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories
contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals
known to the State of California to cause cancer

Recommendations
The following rules must be respected to preserve an
efficient battery:
- Keep the battery clean and dry, particularly on top.
- If the battery acid must be topped up, use distilled
water only,
- Make sure that the cable terminal nuts are well fixed
to the battery terminals.
- Always use a wrench and not pliers to tighten and
loosen the terminal nuts.
- Smear terminals with petroleum jelly (not grease) to
protect them from oxidation.
- Never let the battery run completely down. If

Avoid accidents! Make certain all parts are installed
correctly if the safety structure is loosened or removed for
any reason.
The protection offered by the safety frame will be impaired
if it is subjected to structural damage, as in an overturn
accident, or is in anyway altered by welding, bending,
drilling or cutting. A damaged safety frame should be
replaced, NOT reused.
Always keep the safety frame pinned in upright position
