1.6.7. NEVER inflate the tyres without
monitoring the pressure.
1.6.8. When servicing the storage bat-
teries:
a) keep the skin from contact with
electrolyte;
b) to clean the storage batteries, use
rags soaked in ammonia solution
(ammonium hydroxide);
c) to top up the electrolyte level in
the battery, use only distilled wa-
ter;
d) DO NOT check the state of charge
of the storage battery by short-
circuiting the terminals;
e) DO NOT connect the storage bat-
tery in wrong polarity.
1.6.9. To keep the electronic units from
damage, follow the precautions
as given below:
• do not disconnect the storage bat-
tery (SB) terminals while the engine
is running, since it results in peak
voltage in the charging circuit and
unavoidable damage of diodes and
transistors;
• do not disconnect the electrical cir-
cuit wires until the engine com-
pletely stops and all the electrical
switches are in the OFF position;
• take care not to cause short-
circuiting due to incorrect connec-
tion of wires. Short-circuits or wrong
polarity causes damage to diodes
and transistors;
• DO NOT connect the SB to the sys-
tem of electrical equipment until
terminals and voltage are checked
for proper polarity;
• DO NOT check the availability of
electrical current by “sparking”,
since this causes immediate break-
down of transistors;
• NEVER set the battery disconnect
switch to the OFF position while the
engine is running;
• DO NOT operate the tractor with-
out a storage battery.
1.6.10. The cooling system operates un-
der pressure maintained by a
valve installed in the filler cap. It
is dangerous to remove the cap
on a hot engine. To avoid burns
on your face and hands, take
special care when opening the
radiator filler cap on a hot en-
gine; cover the cap with thick
fabric and put on a glove.
1.6.11. To avoid burns, take special care
when draining coolant or water
from the cooling system, or hot
oil from the engine, hydraulic
system and transmission.
1.6.12. To exclude the explosion risk,
there shall be no sources of na-
ked flame in close proximity to
the engine fuel system and/or
storage batteries.
1.6.13. To install and dismount the en-
gine, use a steel cable fastened
to the eye-bolts provided for the
purpose on the engine.
1.6.14. Any repair works requiring the
electric welding to be done on
the tractor shall be performed
with the battery disconnect
switch turned OFF.
1.6.15. DO NOT make any modifications
to the design or structure of the
tractor or its components, if not
agreed with the Manufacturer.
Otherwise, the tractor will be de-
void of the guarantee privilege.
1.6.16. To exclude any possibility of get-
ting severe injuries, all the ad-
justment operations should be
carried out with the tractor
placed on a flat level ground,
with the engine shut down. Also,
the tractor should be safely
stopped from moving by means
of chocks placed under the rear
wheels on the front and at the
rear.
