Health and environment protection
z
The tractors are not equipped with special filters of air aspirated to the cab. Therefore, they are not
designed for work with aerosols and other harmful substances.
z
Coolant, brake liquid, kerosene, diesel fuel, mineral oil and other oil products that are used for the
operation and maintenance of the tractor may cause various skin disorders in case of direct contact
with your skin and can irritate mucous membranes, eyes, the digestive system and upper respiratory
ways. Some of them may even cause systemic poisoning when swallowed.
z
Persons that handle oil products are obliged to strictly observe safety and hygienic regulations, use
suitable means of protection and work in well ventilated rooms.
Working with oil products
z
After the end of work or before a meal you should wash yourself with a mild agent and treat your
hands with a suitable ointment or cream.
z
When connecting and disconnection quick-couplers of the hydraulic circuits use any piece of cloth to
remove residual oil remaining in the socket or on the plug of the quick-coupler.
Waste disposal
z
When disposing of the tractor or its parts (incl. operation liquids) after the end of their service life you
must observe relevant provisions of valid acts and implementation directives of these acts of the
country where the tractor is used. The last seller of the tractor is obliged in accordance with the Waste
Act to inform the consumer - during the sale of the tractor - about the way of collection of some used
parts of the tractor. This is the case of oil and other operation liquids, batteries and tyres. These used
products must be received from the consumer without any obligation of the consumer to pay for this
service.
Preventive daily maintenance
z
Perform this maintenance daily or after every 8 - 10 hours of operation at the latest.
Safety cab

If the protective frame of the safety cab is damaged by corrosion, an accident or otherwise, the safety
cab must be replaced.
Air-conditioning
z
Disassembling, turning or otherwise handling the screw union of the air-conditioning system is not
allowed in any case. Sudden leak of the coolant may occur, causing quick local cooling. Contact or
freezing of components in hands may cause serious damage of some tissues.
z
The air-conditioning system is equipped with quick-couplers that make it possible to separate the cab
from the tractor body if necessary without any coolant leak. Entrust interventions into the air-
conditioning system to a specialized repair shop.
