WARRANTY CLAIM

A correct installation, followed by a regular maintenance,
can do much to prevent malfunctions or breakdowns. If
operation problems should be however encountered
during the warranty period, the warranty should be claimed
with the following procedure.

The Dealer by whom you purchased the tractor should
be promptly informed, stating model and serial number.
It is most important that there should be no delay, and
you should realise that, even where the original failure is
covered by warranty, if the failure is not repaired
immediately, warranty cover may not apply.

You should give your Dealer as many information as
possible, for instance work hours, current type of work
and warning signs.
It should be noted that normal maintenance services such
as tuning, brake/clutch adjustments, and the supply of
materials used to service the tractor (oil, filters, fuel and
antifreeze) are not covered by terms of the warranty.

SPARE PARTS WARNING

The fitment of parts of inferior quality may not only impair
machine performances, but also be dangerous for
operator’s health and safety. The manufacturer of the
tractor will not take the responsibility for any loss, damage
or liability resulting from the fitment of such parts, and, if
fitted during the normal warranty period, the

manufacturer’s warranty may be invalidated.

IF YOU MOVE

The Dealer by whom you bought your tractor is sole
responsible for the protection given by your warranty.
We recommend that any repair of your machine should
be made by the Dealer. If you, however, move to another
area or the tractor must momentarily operate in an area
far from the original Dealer, you should ask your Dealer
for name and address of the Dealer nearest to the new
work site, so that the warranty is transferred to the latter.
If you moved from the area of your original Dealer without
any arrangements with the new Dealer, the latter will
give you assistance for emergencies, but will charge
normal prices, unless:

a. You make it clear that the warranty has not expired,

and

b. the Dealer making the repair can make the due

arrangements with the original Dealer.

POST-WARRANTY SERVICE

During the warranty period it is advisable to let your Dealer
perform every repair and servicing. In this way the Dealer
is able to keep under control operation and performances
of your new tractor.

In order to obtain the best performances from your tractor,
it is important to go on with regular checks and servicing
even after the warranty is expired. Make use of your local
Dealer for all major tractor services: a trained engineer
will spot any problems between one service and the next.

Our engineers are regularly trained and updated on the
product, servicing techniques and the use of modern
service tools and diagnostic equipment. They receive
regular Service Bulletins, have all Workshop Manuals and
other such technical information to ensure that the repair
or service is to the standard required.

SAFETY

The safety of the operator is one of the main concerns in
designing and developing a new tractor. Designers build
in as many safety features as possible. However, every
year many accidents occur which could have been avoided
by a few seconds thought and a more careful approach to
handling farm machinery and implements. Therefore you
are required to read through and implement the safety
instructions detailed in the Safety Notes section of this
book.

CAUTION: 

In some of the illustrations used in

this Operator Instruction Book, panels or guards
may have been removed for clarity. Never ope-
rate the tractor without these components in
position. If the removal of panels or guards is
necessary to make a repair, they MUST be
replaced before operation.
