Also compliance with and strict adherence to the
operation service and maintenance conditions
specified by the Manufacturer are substantial part of
the intended use.

If the tractor must be used in very heavy-duty
conditions (e.g. deep water or extremely muddy soils),
you should ask your Dealer for specific instructions, to
avoid invalidating the guarantee.

For the operation, service and maintenance of this
tractor you need to know perfectly its specific features
and to be precisely informed about the pertaining
safety standards (injury prevention).

Customers are strongly advised to turn to an official
Dealer in connection with any problem regarding
service and adjustments.

WARRANTY, PRE-DELIVERY
INSPECTIONS AND INSTALLATION

The Company, when selling new goods to their
Dealers, gives a warranty that, subject to certain
conditions, guarantees that the goods are free from
defects in material and workmanship. As this manual is
published for worldwide diffusion, it is impossible to
give a precise and detailed description of the terms and
clauses of the warranty granted in each country for
retail sale. The buyers of new tractors should therefore
ask their Dealer for full details.

According to the Company’s policy of continuous
improvement to its machines, changes in their
technical features may be made at any time without
notice. The Company accepts no responsibility for
discrepancies which may occur between the
specifications of its machines and the descriptions
thereof contained in its publications.

A Dealer is required to carry out certain activities when
supplying a new tractor. These consist of a full pre-
delivery inspection to ensure that the tractor supplied
is ready for immediate use, and full instruction in the
basic principles of operation and maintenance of the
tractor. These instructions will cover instruments and
controls, routine maintenance and safety precautions.
All persons who will be concerned with the operation
and maintenance of the machine should be present for
these instructions.

NOTE:

 The Manufacturer will not accept responsibility for

any claim resulting from the fitment of non-approved parts
or attachments, or unauthorized modification or alteration.

: This manual is distributed with tractors all over

the world. The equipment indicated as standard or
optional may vary according to the country where the
tractor operates. Please ask your Dealer for full details of
the equipment available in your country.

The purpose of this book is to enable the owner and
driver to operate the tractor in a safe manner. Provided
that the instructions are followed carefully, the
equipment will give years of service in our tradition.

If you should not understand any part of this booklet,
please do not hesitate to ask your Dealer for advice, as
these instructions must be correctly understood and
complied with. It is advisable to perform a daily
maintenance routine and to keep a register to record
the work hours of the machine.

When new parts are required it is important that only
genuine service parts are used. Authorized Dealers
supply genuine parts and can give advice regarding
their fitment and use. . Customers are therefore
required to buy their service parts only from an
authorized Dealer.

These tractors are designed exclusively for normal an
typical agricultural operations, following the operating
instructions contained in this manual.
THE TRACTOR IS UNSUITABLE FOR USE IN FORESTAL
OPERATIONS.
It may become suitable for such use if a forestal kit is
installed which is CE marked and approved and whose
installation is approved by the manufacturer.
The installation and modification of the tractor must
be carried out with the highest technical standards by
specialised workshops with qualified personnel. Such
workshops must be able to guarantee and attest the
risk analysis provided for in the Machinery Directive
2006/42/EC concerning the foreseen and predictable
use of the tractor for forestal work and environment, in
order to carry out all required adaptations of the
tractor.  This specific forestal kit must protect the
driver’s seat from falling and penetrating objects.

Use in any other way is considered as contrary to the
intended use. The Manufacturer of the tractor accepts
no liability for any damage or injury resulting from
misuse; any resulting risks must be borne solely by the
user.
