If necessary, wear suitable headwear to keep loose
hairs and pigtails from being caught in rotating parts.
Do not wear any jewellery and similar objects, eg
rings, when working with the tractor.

Safety Notes for Later Installations
The tractor has electronic components whose proper
functioning can be influenced by the electromagnetic
emissions of other equipment. These influences can
endanger persons if the following notes on safety are not
observed.
• Have your equipment installed only by an authorized
workshop.
• Before the installation of electric or electronic equipment connected to the tractor's electrical system,
check if these installations can interfere with the
tractor's electronic system or other system components.

Safety Instructions for Handling Fuels and
Oils
Gear Oil, Engine Oil, Diesel Fuel
Do not eat, drink or smoke when working with
the product. Prolonged intensive contact may
cause degreasing and irritation of the skin.
Wash skin with soap and water, use skin care
products. If required, wear protective gear.
Change soaked clothes and shoes immediately. If vapour or mist was inhaled, breathe
fresh air. Consult a doctor if the complaint
persists. After contact with the eyes, rinse
the eyes thoroughly with water (at least 10
minutes), then consult an eye doctor. If swallowed, do not force to vomit, but consult a
doctor. Danger of slipping on the spilled product, especially in connection with water.
Oils can contaminate water. Always keep
them in approved containers. Avoid spilling
oils. Remove spilled fluids at once with an oil
binding agent and dispose of in accordance
with laws and regulations. Discard drained
fluids as specified. Observe all applicable laws
and regulations. Oils are inflammable. Do not

let them come in contact with hot engine parts
as fire can result.

Battery Acid
Battery acid contains dissolved sulphuric
acid. This acid is poisonous and caustic. When
working with battery acid, always wear
protective clothing and eye protectors. Do not
allow acid to contact clothing, skin or eyes.
In case of contact, wash directly with ample
clean water. If personal injuries exist, seek
medical aid at once. Neutralize spilled battery
acid immediately.
Discard the old battery fluid as specified.
Observe laws and regulations.

Hydraulic Oil, Brake Fluid
During tractor operation, these fluids are under
pressure and a health hazard. Do not spill these
fluids! Remove any spilled fluid at once with an
oil binding agent and discard as specified. Dispose of old fluids as specified and follow the
applicable laws and regulations. Do not allow
them to come in contact with hot engine parts
as fire can result. Danger of fire!
Avoid contact with the skin. Avoid the inhalation
of spray fog. The penetration of the fluids into
the skin is especially dangerous if the fluids
are under high pressure and escape from the
hydraulic system through leaks. Seek medical
aid at once in case of such injuries.
If injuries cannot be excluded, use suitable
protectors (for example, protective gloves,
glasses and skin protection and care creams).

145 052

Emissions
Exhaust Gases
During operation, the engine emits exhaust
gases into the environment. The exhaust gas
mainly consists of water vapour, carbon
dioxide (CO 2), carbon monoxide (CO),
hydrocarbon (CH), nitrogen oxide (NOX) and
soot. The components CO, CH and NOX are
poisonous or hazardous to health and should
not be inhaled in high concentrations. Soot is
a carcinogenic material; particularly the

Operating Instructions

C 9700 ... C 9.88 H

Instructions for Operation
particles in the exhaust gases can cause
cancer. For this reason the engine may not
be operated in enclosed spaces.
Heat
The exhaust gases are very hot and can ignite
inflammable material. The exhaust gas pipe
should therefore be kept away from ignitable
material.
Battery
During charging, the battery produces a mixture of oxygen and hydrocarbon (detonating
gas). This mixture of gases is explosive and
may not be ignited. The risk of explosion can
be avoided with proper ventilation and keeping naked flames away. Observe the safety
rules when handling the battery.

Driving Safety Rules

•
•
•
•
•

Drive the tractor only from the driver's station with the
cab doors closed.
Always adjust your speed to the driving conditions
and the load you are carrying.
Never drive downhill without having the tractor in gear
or with the engine stopped.
Before driving, check that no-one is standing in the
immediate vicinity of the vehicle.
The driving behaviour of the tractor is strongly affected by the weight and swing range of the implements,
trailers and, if fitted, ballasting. Therefore drive slowly
with heavy equipment and take the longer braking
distance into consideration.

145 052

When following a curve with a trailer or other attachments, don't forget to take the added length and drag into
consideration.

DANGER
Parts of implements posing a danger to traffic
must be covered before driving or identified
with warning signs.
•
•
•
•

Switch off the differential lock when travelling along a
curve.
When driving on slopes, drive downhill if possible; if
you have to turn, turn only when driving uphill.
On steep slopes you can improve traction by activating the differential lock.
Drive across slopes only in accordance with the notes
at the end of this chapter.

Coupling Hydraulic Lines

ATTENTION
The hydraulic couplings on the tractor must
be without hydraulic pressure before the
connection. The couplings on the tractor and
the hydraulic hoses must be clean.
NOTE
Each implement has different functions and
hydraulic lines for its control. Observe the operating manual supplied with your implement
and make yourself familiar with the functions
and colour codes.
-

Open the protective caps of the hydraulic couplings
(6).
Attach the colour coded hydraulic hoses (9) of the
implement to the hydraulic couplings of the same
colour on the tractor.

ATTENTION
The hydraulic male couplings fit on each
coupling and can therefore be connected
incorrectly.

With the connection you therefore decide
which function/movement of the implement
is actually to be performed with the control
lever assigned to the coupling.
DANGER
If you are not sure about the functions,
determine them with trials at a safe place.

Handling fuels and lubricants
•
•

•

•
•
•
•

•

Fuels and lubricants must always be handled properly
and as specified by the manufacturer.
Fuels and lubricants may only be stored in approved
containers at specified places of storage. They can be
inflammable, therefore do not allow them to come in
contact with hot objects or with naked flames.
Exercise caution when handling fuels - increased danger of fire. Do not fill any fuels in the vicinity of naked
flames, ignition sparks or hot engine parts. No smoking
when refuelling!
Before refuelling, shut off the engine and remove the
ignition key. Do not run the engine in enclosed spaces.
Do not spill fuels! (use suitable filling aids).
Exercise caution when handling brake fluid and battery
acid (poisonous and corrosive).
Only use clean vessels when filling fuels and lubricants.
When using fuels, lubricants and cleaners, follow the
safety and disposal instructions of the manufacturer.
Always avoid spilling. Eliminate spilled brake fluid
immediately with a suitable binding agent and discard
as specified by regulations.
Oils, fuels, batteries, brake fluid and filters must be
disposed of separately and as specified by regulations.

•
•

Before beginning lubrication, changing filter or opening
the hydraulic system, clean the area surrounding the
affected part carefully.
Replaced parts must be discarded in a way friendly to
the environment.
Observe all local and national laws and regulations.

CAUTION
The penetration of hydraulic oil under pressure
into the skin, eg through leaks, is dangerous.
If such injuries occur, seek medical aid.

Safety Notes for Maintenance
Observe the instructions in this maintenance manual and
the general applicable safety and accident prevention rules!
• Do not allow anyone to stand around where they might
get hurt!
• When starting the engine, the traction and implement
drive must be shut off!
• Start the engine only from the driver's station. Do not
start the engine by short circuiting the starter terminals,
as the machine could start moving immediately.

Operating Instructions

Laying Up

If the tractor is not going to be in service for over 2 months,
for example for operational reasons, it must be placed in a
well-ventilated, clean and dry room and the following
measures must be carried out.
-

Clean the tractor thoroughly.
Check the hydraulic oil levels, topping up oil if necessary
Cover all blank mechanical components with a thin
film of oil or grease.
Grease the tractor.
Check the condition and acid density of the battery;
cover the battery terminals with non-acidic grease.
(Observe the instructions of the battery manufacturer.)
Remove the battery and store in a frost-free, dry
room.

Engine Preservation
-

Clean the engine.
Run the engine warm.
Drain the engine oil and refill with anti-corrosion oil.
Drain some fuel and refill the fuel tank with a mix of
90 % Diesel fuel and 10 % anti-corrosion oil.
Run the engine for 10 minutes.
Switch off the engine.

145 052

Turn the engine over a few times by hand.
Block up the intake opening and exhaust outlet.

ATTENTION
The tractor must be blocked up so that all
the wheels are off the ground to prevent a
permanent deformation of the tires.
NOTE
Do not use plastic foil to cover the tractor as
this enhances the formation and collection
of condensate water.
Putting the Tractor Back in Service after a Lay-up
If the tractor was taken out or service for over six months,
it must be inspected carefully before being put back in
service. The inspection should, similar to the safety
inspection, also cover all safety points of the tractor.
-

Clean the tractor thoroughly.
Lubricate the tractor.
Check the condition and acid density of the battery,
recharging it if necessary.
