Section D. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Tractor pre-operation
When preparing a new tractor for opera-
tion, depreserve it proceeding as fol-
lows:
• remove protective covers and plugs
fitted on the engine;
• install peacocks of the radiator and cyl-
inder block;
• fill in all the refill tanks;
• unpack the muffler put in the cab and in-
stall it onto the exhaust manifold so that
exhaust pipe outlet cut would be directed
forward along the tractor motion. Install the
retaining clip at a distance of 8 to 12 mm
from the muffler pipe end. Tighten the clip
nuts to a torque of 44 to 54 Nm;
• drain sediment from the coarse and fine
fuel filters and fuel tank;
• fill the fuel supply system with fuel and
bleed the system to remove air from it;
• check the fan belt tension;
• check and adjust the air pressure in the
tires;
• perform servicing of the storage battery;
• tighten the fasteners;
• grease all the lubrication points using a
gun;
• check and adjust, if necessary, the
front wheel toe-in.
WARNING!
To avoid injuries, make
sure that all protective guards are in
their places prior to starting the diesel
engine.
ATTENTION!
Starting a new engine,
which is not run-in, by towing is not al-
lowed to avoid the intense wear of the
engine parts.
Running-in
Your new tractor will work reliably and
for long time, provided that running-in is
made properly and necessary mainte-
nance is provided within the recom-
mended terms. When executing the 30-
hour running-in, observe the following
rules:
1. Constantly monitor the instrument
readings and operation of the lubri-
cating, cooling and feed systems.
Monitor the oil and fluid levels in refill
tanks.
2. Check tightening and retighten the
external fastening junctions.
3. Run in the tractor on light transport
and field works (harrowing, cultiva-
tion, sowing, etc.), gradually increas-
ing the load at different gears.
4. Do not overload the engine, do not
allow fuming or drop of the rotational
speed. The overload symptoms are
abrupt drop of the engine speed,
fuming and failure to respond to
higher fuel feed.
5. The operation of the tractor at very low
gear with small load at high engine
speeds will result in excessive fuel
consumption. Correct selection of a
gear for each particular work provides
fuel saving and reduces engine wear.
6. Regularly perform time-shift mainte-
nance in accordance with recommen-
dations stated in this Manual.
7.
After running-in the tractor, perform
the maintenance works.
