C – SAFETY NOTES
Careful operation is your best insurance against an
accident.
Read and understand this manual carefully before
operating the tractor.
All operators, no matter how much experience they may
have, should read this and other related manuals before
operating the tractor or any implement attached to it. It
is the owner's obligation to instruct all operators in safe
operation.
WARNING:
Do NOT use hearing protectors when driving the
tractor on public roads.
1. Before operating the tractor
1. Know your equipment and its limitations. Read this
entire manual before attempting to start and operate
the tractor.
2. Pay special attention to pictorial safety labels on the
tractor.
3. Do not operate tractor or any implement attached to
it while under the influence of alcohol, medication
controlled substances or while fatigued.
4. Before allowing other people to use your tractor,
explain how to operate and have them read this
manual before operation.
5. If the cab is loosened or removed for any reason,
make sure that all parts are reinstalled correctly
before operating the tractor. Never modify or repair
any structural member of a cab because welding,
bending, drilling, grinding, or cutting may weaken the
structure.
A damaged cab structure must be replaced, not
repaired or revised.
If any structural member of the cab is damaged,
replace the entire structure at your local Ursus
Dealer.
6. Always use the seat belt if the tractor has a cab.
Check the seat belt regularly and replace if frayed or
damaged.
7. Never wear loose, torn, or bulky clothing around
tractor. It may catch on moving parts or controls,
leading to the risk of an accident. Use additional
safety items, e.g. hard hat, safety boots or shoes, eye
and hearing protection, gloves, etc., as appropriate or
required.
8. Do not allow passengers to ride on any part of the
tractor at any time. The operator must remain in the
tractor seat during operation.
9. Keep the pedals, control levers, foot rest and steps clean
and free from mud and grease.
10.Before operating the tractor and the machine or
implement attached to it, inspect the terrain around
carefully. Check also there is no collision of the
machine/implement in the raised position with the
cab.
11. Never allow bystanders and especially children to stay
in the vicinity of the tractor under work.
12. Observe all local traffic and safety regulations. Use
 the registration plate as required.
13. Check the brakes periodically and adjust if necessary. Check
them more frequently if heavy work is involved. Reliable
braking is of importance to your safety.
14. Check and tighten all external fixings i.e. plugs, nuts, bolts,
etc. and especially rear wheel disc to hub and disc to rim
nuts (which should be tightened to the recommended
torque after the first 10 and 50 operation hours, and then
according to the Periodic Maintenance Chart).
15. Keep the cab panes and mirrors clean to ensure a
good visibility in all directions.
16. Use the implements and machines recommended to
this class of the tractor.
17. When working with heavy tractor-mounted implements or
trailers, use proper front ballast weights of the tractor
to reduce the risk of upsets. When using the front
loader, put an implement or ballast on the 3-point
hitch to improve stability. Follow the safe operating
procedures specified in the implement or attachment
manual.
19. The narrower the tread, the greater the risk of a
tractor upset. For maximum stability, adjust the
wheels to the widest practical tread width for your
application.
20. Do not modify the tractor. Unauthorized modification
may affect the function of the tractor, which may
result in personal injury or damage to the equipment.
21. Under no circumstances should substitute elements be used
to replace genuine locking elements (e.g. pins, split pins,
circlips, etc).
22. When adjustments or attachments are being made to the
tractor or implements, the operator must ensure that all
person are well clear before operating the hydraulics.
2. Operating the tractor
♦ Starting the engine
1. Always start the engine and operate the tractor
controls from the operator's seat.
2. Before the engine is started, make sure that the
tractor basic and auxiliary controls are in neutral
position, the PTO drive is disengaged and the
parking brake is applied.
3. Do not start engine by shorting across starter
terminals or bypassing the safety start switch.
Machine may start in gear and move if normal
starting circuitry is bypassed.
4. Do not operate or idle the engine in a non-ventilated
area. Carbon monoxide gas is colorless, odorless, and
deadly.
♦ Operating the tractor
1. Never attach implements and machines to any other
points on the tractor than to the hitching points
(three-point hitch, transport hitch, swinging drawbar or
multi-hole drawbar) and in another way than as specified
in this instruction book.
2. During the transport of implements, stiffen the linkage
system by means check chains.
3. When towing the implements or trailers, attach them
directly to the tractor or by means of a rigid drawbar.
Never use a rope for this purpose.
4. Never exceed permissible loads on hitching devices.
4
5. Keep all shields and guards in place. Replace any that
are missing or damaged.
6. Avoid sudden starts. To avoid upsets, slow down
when turning, on uneven ground, and before
stopping.
7. Do not turn the tractor with the rear and/or front
differential lock engaged as attempting to do so
could be dangerous.
8. Do not operate near ditches, holes, embankments,
or other ground surface features which may collapse
under the tractor's weight. The risk of tractor upset
is even higher when the ground is loose or wet. Tall
grass can hide obstacles, walk the area first to be
sure.
9. Watch where you are going at all times. Watch for
and avoid obstacles. Be alert at headlands, near
trees, and other obstructions.
10. When working in groups, always let the others know
what you are going to do before you do it.
11. Do not get on or off a moving tractor. Always use proper
foot rests when getting on or off the tractor.
♦ Safety for children
Tragedy can occur if the operator is not alert to the
presence of children. Children generally are attracted to
machines and the work they do.
1. Never assume that children will remain where you
last saw them.
2. Keep children out of the work area and under the
watchful eye of another responsible adult.
3. Be alert and shut your machine down if children
enter the work area.
4. Never carry children on your machine. There is no
safe place for them to ride. They may fall off and be
run over or interfere with your control of the
machine.
5. Never allow children to operate the machine even
under adult supervision.
6. Never allow children to play on the machine or on
the implement.
7. Use extra caution when backing up. Look behind
and down to make sure the area is clear before
moving.
♦ Operating on slopes
Slopes are major factor related to loss-of-control and
tip-over accidents, which can result in severe injury or
death. All slopes require extra caution.
1. To avoid upsets, always back up steep slopes. If you
cannot back up the slope or if you feel uneasy on it,
do not operate on it. Stay off slopes too steep for safe
operation.
2. Driving forward out of a ditch, mired condition or up
a steep slope increases the risk of a tractor to be
upset backward. Always back out of these situations.
Extra caution is required with four-wheel drive
models because their increased traction can give the
operator false confidence in the tractor's ability to
climb slopes.
3. Keep all movement on slopes slow and gradual. Do
not make sudden changes in speed and direction.
4. Avoid disengaging the clutch or changing gears speed
when climbing or going down a slope. If on a slope
disengaging the clutch or changing gears to neutral
could cause loss of control.
5. Special attention should be made to the weight and
location of implements and loads as such will affect
the stability of the tractor.
6. To improve stability on slope, set widest wheel tread
and follow recommendations for proper ballasting.
7. When operating the tractor on hillsides ensure that the fuel
tank contains not less fuel than 1/4 its capacity as otherwise
the air is likely to enter the fuel system. The tractor can
work safely up to 12° of inclination angle.
8. Avoid parking on steep slopes, if at all possible park
on a firm and level surface; if not, park across a slope
with the wheels chocked. Failure to comply with
this warning may allow the tractor to move and could
cause injury or death.
NOTE:
Whenever possible avoid driving the tractor across
slopes. Preferably drive up and down sloping fields.
If it is necessary to work across slopes proceed as follows:
1. Use the widest wheel track setting compatible with the
implement being used.
2. Always turn uphill at the end of each run.
3. Raise the implement to the height sufficient for making
a turn onIy, or raise the implement using Position Control.
4. Ensure that the rear tyre pressures are equal.
5. Reduce the speed to a minimum on headlands.
6. When using a reversible plough, start at the top of the
slope to reduce the tractor inclination angle by making the
top wheels run in the furrow.
♦ Operating the PTO
1. Before getting off the tractor, attaching, detaching, cleaning
or adjusting any PTO driven implements, always disengage
the PTO drive, stop the engine, remove the key and wait
until all moving components have completely stopped.
2. Keep the PTO shaft cover in place at all times. Fit
the PTO removable cap when the shaft is not in use.
3. Before installing or using PTO driven equipment, read
the manufacturer's manual and review the safety
labels attached to the equipment. To prevent PTO
driven equipment from improper or unsafe use,
select the lower speed (540rpm) unless the higher
one is specifically recommended as safe by the
equipment manufacturer.
4. When operating stationary PTO driven equipment,
always apply the tractor parking brake and place
chocks behind and in front of the rear wheels. Stay
clear of all rotating parts. Never step over rotating
parts.
♦ Driving on a road.
WARNING:
Under no circumstances should protective ear
defenders be used when driving the tractor on public
roads.
1. Keep the brake pedals latched together at all times to help
assure straight-line stops. Uneven braking at road
speeds could cause the tractor to tip over.
2. Front drive engagement ensures better braking
efficiency.
3. Always slow the tractor down before turning as at
high speed the tractor may tip over.
4. If the tractor is to be used on public roads, ensure the
5
mirrors and slow moving vehicle emblem are in place. Local
requirements may vary regarding use of warning flashers
and slow moving emblem. Check local safety codes.
5. Turn the headlights on. Dim them when meeting
another vehicle.
6. Always drive the tractor at a safe speed relative to local
conditions and ensure that your speed is Iow enough for an
emergency stop to be safe and secure.
7. Do not apply the differential lock while traveling at
road speeds. The tractor may run out of control.
8. Avoid sudden motions of the steering wheel as they
can lead to a dangerous loss of stability. The risk is
especially great when traveling at road speeds.
9. Always keep the tractor in the gear when going downhill.
Under no circumstances should the maximum engine speed
be exceeded.
10. Do not operate an implement while the tractor is on
the road. Lock the 3-point hitch in the raised position.
11. If the tractor is equipped with trailer air braking system,
never start towing a trailer with the pointer of the
air pressure gauge in red zone. Allow time for the
compressor to fill the air reservoir. Insufficient air
pressure in the system is then also indicated by air
pressure drop warning light which illuminates red.
3. Parking the tractor
1. Disengage the PTO, lower all implements to the
ground, place all control levers in their neutral
positions, set the parking brake, stop the engine,
remove the key from the starter switch and lock
the cab door (if equipped). Leaving transmission
in gear with the engine stopped will not prevent
tractor from rolling.
2. Make sure that the tractor has come to a
complete stop before dismounting.
3. Avoid parking on steep slopes, if at all possible
park on a firm and level surface; if not, park
across a slope with the wheels chocked and
the implement lowered to the ground.
4. Servicing the tractor
Before servicing the tractor, park it on a firm, flat and
level surface, set the parking brake, lower all implements
to the ground, place the gear shift levers in neutral, stop
the engine and remove the key.
1. Allow the tractor time to cool off before working on
or near the engine, muffler, radiator, etc.
2. Always stop the engine before refueling. Avoid spills
and overfilling.
3. Do not remove radiator cap while coolant is hot.
Allow the time for the engine to cool, then loosen
the radiator cap carefully and slowly to allow all
pressure to escape gradually before removing the
cap completely. If the tractor has a coolant recovery
tank, add coolant or water to the tank, not the
radiator.
4. Do not smoke when working around battery or when
refueling. Keep all sparks and flames away from
battery and fuel tank. The battery presents an
explosive hazard, because it gives off hydrogen and
oxygen especially when recharging.
5. Before "jump starting" a dead battery, read and • use steel tools for hammering out the plugs of fuel

suitable blocking beforehand.
11. Securely support the tractor when either changing
wheels or adjusting the wheel tread width.
12. Make sure that wheel bolts have been tightened to
the specified torque.
13. Always maintain the correct tire pressure. Do not
inflate tires above the recommended pressure
shown in this manual.
14. Escaping hydraulic fluid under pressure has sufficient
force to penetrate skin, causing serious personal
injury. Before disconnecting hydraulic lines, be sure
to release all residual pressure. Before applying
pressure to the hydraulic system, make sure that all
connections are tight and that all lines, pipes, and
hoses are free of damage.
15. Fluid escaping from pinholes may be invisible. Do not
use hands to search for suspected leaks; use a piece
of cardboard or wood. Use of safety goggles or other
eye protection is also highly recommended. If injured
by escaping fluid, see a medical doctor at once. This
fluid will produce gangrene or severe allergic
reaction.
16. Dispose the used oils, filters, etc. according to the
rules on environment protection.
5. Fire safety precautions
DO NOT:
• store the fuel and other inflammable materials in the
tractor parking area and buildings,
• refuel the tractor when the engine is running,
• refuel or service the fuel system on the tractor while
smoking, or when near open flames or sparks,
• drive the tractor over, or close to inflammable ma-
terials, so that the exhaust pipe outlet is very near to
these materials,
• start the engine inside the building made of inflam-
mable materials,
• keep rags, tow, or other inflammable materials
soaked in oil, kerosene or petrol inside parking
accommodations.

E- OPERATION
1. Before starting
Prior to a daily start-up of the tractor, carry out the Daily
Maintenance as described in Periodic Maintenance Chart
(every 10 hours of work) and particularly:
• make sure all safety shields are in place and secured
properly,
• check the coolant and engine oil level and replenish as
necessary,
• check the tension of v and ribbed belts and adjust as
required,
• ensure the grill, the cores of water radiator, oil
radiator and air conditioner condenser* are free of
debris,
• empty the air cleaner unloader valve,
• check the operation of clutch, brake and throttle con-
trols. All controls must operate freely and be adjusted
correctly,
• carry out general inspection of the tires, tire pressures
and wheel nuts/bolts tightening. Observe for external
signs of leakage and correct before operating the
tractor,
• check the operation of gauges and lights lights. If
tractor is to be driven on public roads, ensure the
mirrors, the warning triangle and slow moving vehicle
emblem are in place,
• ensure that there is sufficient fuel in the tank and
replenish as necessary,
• drain water from from the air reservoir*.
* - if fitted
2. Engine normal starting
DANGER:
Before the engine is started, ensure the transmission
control levers are in neutral and the PTO mode
selector lever is also in neutral position. This is to
prevent sudden tractor run away, thus creating a
danger of accident.
WARNING:
 Do not attempt to start the engine unless seated in
the operator’s seat and with the parking brake
applied.
 Never use the ether based fluids to aid the engine
starting.
To start the engine:
1. Set the synchroshuttle lever, gear shift lever, speed
range selector lever and PTO work mode selector
lever in their neutral positions and depress the clutch
pedal fully.
IMPORTANT:
The engine starting is possible with the the
synchroshuttle control lever set to the neutral position
only. In any other position, the safety start switch
disconnects the power supply to the starter motor.
21
2. Turn the starter switch key to the ON position (Fig.
D7). In this position indicator and warning lights 1, 2,
3, 9, 20, 21, 22 i 23 (Fig. D.1) should come on. After a
while the lights 9, 20, 21, 22 and 23 will go off,
indicating correct operation of the supevised circuits
The lights 1, 2 and 3 will continue illuminating.
a. 1 - (Fig. D1) warning light indicating a pressure drop in
the air brake system (if the pressure in the system did
not drop below the acceptable level for commencing
driving with a trailer),
b. 2 - (Fig. D1) battery charge warning light
c. 3 - (Fig. D1) warning light indicating oil pressure in
engine lubrication system.
3. Depress the clutch pedal fully.
4. Press and turn the starter switch key fully to the
„START" position („3" - Fig. D7) to engage the starter
motor. Release the key the moment the engine starts,
allowing it to return to the „ON" position.
5. Once the engine is started, all warning lights (which
were illuminating before) should extinguish (with
exception of the air pressure drop warning lamp
which should extinguish once the required pressure in
the pneumatic installation is reached, unless the air
compressor is switched off. Otherwise, find the cause
and remove it.
6. After starting, allow the engine to run at minimum
idling speed for a period of 3 to 5 minutes or until the
engine coolant temperature gauge indicates that it is
increasing so that before proceeding gradually
increasing the speed up to the maximum, its
operation it was even.
IMPORTANT:
Do not crank engine for more than 15 seconds at a time.
If the engine fails to start, release the starter switch key
and allow the starter motor to cool for 90 seconds at
least between intervals of cranking.
If after a few attempts the engine fails to start, ask your
dealer for advise.
3. Cold weather starting.
Always remember of using the fuel oil appropriate to
the ambient temperature.
The lower ambient temperature, the lower cold
cranking capacity of the battery and particularly when
being partly discharged. That is why in winter season it
should always be fully charged.
To start the engine in ambient temperature below 0° C:
1. Set the synchroshuttle lever, gear shift lever, speed
range selector lever and PTO work mode selector
lever in their neutral positions and depres the clutch
pedal fully.
2. Set the starter switch key to the „ON”position (Fig,
D7). In this position indicator and warning lights 1, 2,
3, 9, 15, 20, 21, 22 i 23 (Fig. D.1) should come on.
Ater a while the lights 9, 20, 21, 22 and 23 will go off,
indicating correct operation of the supevised circuits
The lights 1, 2, 3 and 15 will continue illuminating.
3. After the glow plugs indicator 15 goes off, press and
turn the starter switch key to the “START” position.
IMPORTANT:
The cold starting aid system system has a protection
against starting the engine before reaching the
temperature required for starting (the glow plugs
indicator lamp has not gone out). In this situation,
the engine can not be started.
5. Release the key the moment the engine starts,
allowing it to return to the „ON" position.
6. If the engine fails to start, release the key and allow
the starter motor to cool at least for 90 seconds. Then
repeat the steps 3, 4 and 5.
IMPORTANT:
Do not crank engine for more than 15 seconds at a time.
If the engine fails to start, release the starter switch key
and allow the starter motor to cool for 90 seconds at
least between intervals of cranking.
7. After starting, allow the engine to run at minimum
idling speed for a period of 3 to 5 minutes or until the
engine coolant temperature gauge indicates that it is
increasing so that before proceeding gradually
increasing the speed up to the maximum, its
operation it was even.
8. Until normal operating temperatures of the
remaining systems is reached, operate the engine
at low load conditions. Practice shows that the engine
reaches the normal operating temperature faster
during use with low load at lower speeds than when
running at low idle speed.
9. The engine can be operated at full speed and load
conditions, after the 60° C coolant temperature is
reached.
IMPORTANT:
If a booster battery is required to start tractor, ensure
the booster battery is connected in parallel. When using
the booster battery and booster cables, always connect
positive (+) terminals together first. Then install the
booster cable on the booster battery negative (-)
terminal and ground final booster cable end on the
tractor, away from the tractor battery.
4. Stopping the engine
To stop the engine, turn the starter switch key to the
„OFF” position (Fig. D7).
Before stopping the engine operated under low load
conditions, reduce the speed to idling for about 30
seconds. When operated under high load conditions,
extend the time to 3 minutes. Sudden stopping of the
engine operated under high load conditions may lead to
overheating and premature wear of its components.
22
WARNING:
• before dismounting the tractor, always set the parking
brake and lower all implements to the ground. Then
stop the engine and remove the key.
• If it is necessary to park the tractor on incline, be sure
to chock the wheels to prevent accidental rolling off.
Engine emergency stopping
On the control panel located on the right side of the cab,
on the wheel housing, there is an emergency engine
switch (below its icon).
Icon of emergency engine stopping switch
To stop the engine in emergency:
• press the bottom part of the switch, hold it, push it up
and release the pressure. The engine will stop and the
icon on the switch will light up.
To restart the engine:
• Press the upper part of the switch, hold it and
thenslide it downwards and release it. The icon of the
switch will go off,
• start the ngine using appropriate procedurę.
Before restarting the engine, make sure all elements of
external system supporting the engine operation,
operate normally.
IMPORTANT:
• Use the emergency engine stopping switch in
emergency only. Do not use this switch for normal
engine stopping.
5. Driving the tractor
After starting the engine:
• depress the clutch pedal fully, shift to the required
gear, select the speed range and shift the
synchroshuttle lever to forward or reverse driving,
• release the parking brake (hand brake),
• slowly increase the engine rpm while simultaneously
slowly releasing the clutch pedal,
• release the clutch pedal fully and slowly operate
throttle lever until the desired engine speed is reached.
WARNING:
Do not exceed the permissible speed.
a) Selection of the correct gear
When working with the tractor, select a gear with the
lowest fuel consumption without overloading the engine
or transmission. Remember that the soil conditions
within one field may change every several meters, so
choose a gear in which the engine will work at 75-80% of
maximum power.
During work with the tractor, avoid driving with a
partially depressed clutch pedal, because this may cause
overheating or destruction of the clutch.
It is not recommended to use additional equipment
increasing the traction of wheels such as chains or paddle
wheels, particularly at low gears.
WARNING:
• At all time avoid riding the clutch pedal.
• During driving, it is prohibited to shift the gear , or
range selector lever, without depressing the clutch
pedal.
• Never coast down slopes with the tractor in gear and
the clutch disengaged.
• For road work, close the hand throttle and use the
foot throttle only.
b) Operating the tractor for optimal fuel efficiency.
1. Match the attached implement size so that the engine
could operate at over 70% maximum power.
2. Avoid unnecessary tractor idling and reduce the time
spent at headland turns and travels to the field.
3. Use correct tyre pressure for a given work.
4. Use the ballast weights reasonably.
5. Match the trailer load capacity correctly and utilize it
to the highest extent possible.
6. For field transport make use of single axle trailer
preferably.
7. Make use of draft control for controlling the working
depth of mounted soil engaging implement to the
highest extent.
8. Use recommended fuels and lubricants only.
9. Look after the efficiency of the fuel system and carry
out the maintenance and adjustments to this book.
10. Keep the engine air cleaner clean.
c) Towing
Before towing the tractor, shift the PTO mode selector
lever and the transmission levers to their neutral
positions. Maintain a safe towing speed.
Use towing only as a last resort, when normal start-up is
impossible for whatever reason. Use a rigid tow bar for
towing.
ATTENTION:
Towing the tractor is only permissible over short
distances. Do NOT tow the tractor over long distances on
roads and in intensive road traffic.
Backward towing of the tractor can only be performed if
a drawbar, rear towing hitch, or three-point hitch is used.
23
Forward towing of the tractor can only be performed
using the front hitch. The operator must drive and brake
the tractor.
IMPORTANT:
For transportation purposes, the tractor should be
loaded onto the loading platform of a trailer or truck so
that all four wheels rest upon it.
WARNING:
Do NOT use lines and ropes to tow the tractor. If the
line or rope breaks or slips off, it may cause serious
personal injuries.
WARNING:
• If possible, the engine of the towed tractor should be
running in order to provide lubrication and power
steering.
• Do not tow the tractor at a speed exceeding 8 km/h. If
the engine is not running, then steering is much
slower and turning the steering wheel requires much
more effort.
5.1. Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF)
The engine exhaust system is equipped with diesel
particulate filter (DPF) which is intended for collecting
and burning solid particles resulting from the combustion
of diesel oil.
The operation of the DPF and its condition is signalled by
the warning and indicator lights on the dashboard panel.
IMPORTANT:
When operating tractors with a motor equipped with a
diesel particulate filter, avoid long idling or low engine
load.
The status of the exhaust aftertreatment system is
determined by the instrument panel warning and
indicator lights. It includes five states: the engine.
1) When no warning and indicator light is on:
Passive regeneration follows automatically (without
intervention from the engine control module) during
normal tractor operation. A series of thermochemical
reactions occures in the system as a result of which the
soot is oxidized.
2) When the active regeneration indicator light (21 in Fig.
D.1) is on:
- this means that automatic active
regeneration is on.
Automatic regeneration will occur when the soot level
reaches the activation point, which is set in the ECU. The
engine can work normally during automatic
regeneration. After the active regeneration is completed,
the indicator light will turn off after 1 minute from the
end of regeneration.
3) When the indicator light of DPF condition (22 in Fig.
D.1 is on):
- this means that the system requires further
regeneration.
This may occur due to conditions for active regeneration
not being met or if the operator has disabled the active
regeneration. The DPF lamp is used to indicate that
regeneration of the DPF is required. It is recommended
that if applicable the DPF regeneration disable switch be
deactivated. If the system has not been disabled then a
manual regeneration should be performed. If the DPF
lamp is on for one of the above reasons, then it will
remain on until regeneration has been completed
IMPORTANT:
Before starting forced regeneration of the DPF, it is
necessary to apply the handbrake because without this
the regeneration will not turn on.
4) When the DPF status light (22 in Fig. D.1) is on and the
yellow engine status indicator light flashes (20 in Fig.
D.1):
- this means that automatic active regeneration is not
available and you must manually enable forced
regeneration (without disabling automatic regeneration
with the button on the right panel).
The method of carrying out manual regeneration:
- stop the tractor in a secluded, well-ventilated place or
in the open air,
- make sure that there are no flammable objects in the
area and that are prone to self-ignition,
- do not turn off the engine,
- set the gears in the neutral position,
- apply the parking brake,
- set the hand throttle lever to the minimum,
then press and hold the DPF switch button 2 (inside the
cab, on the R.H. panel) for 3 to 5 seconds. and release it
to start the regeneration. The time of the regeneration
process depends on the degree of DPF contamination.
The current regeneration status is indicated by indicator
lights 21 and 22 (Fig. D.1) on the instrument panel.
ATTENTION: during the process, the engine speed
increases to 2000 rpm and after the regeneration is
finished, it automatically returns to the idle speed.
WARNING:
• If the yellow engine indicator light (20 in Fig. D.1) and
the yellow DPF status indicator light (22 in Fig. D.1) light
up, stop the tractor and start manually forced DPF
regeneration.
24
• Further driving will result in damage to the DPF filter
(this is not covered by the warranty)
WARNING:
In the case of regeneration at a standstill, a special
working condition of the engine is set and the tractor
must not be used.
.
WARNING:
During regeneration, the exhaust pipe and surrounding
components have a very high temperature, reaching
over 600 ° C. This creates the risk of fire and burns!
5) When the DPF status indicator light (22 in Fig. D.1) is
lit, the yellow engine status indicator flashes (20 in Fig.
D.1) and the red engine status warning light is lit (9 in Fig.
D.1 ):
-this means that the DPF filter is not suitable for further
use and it is imperative to replace it with a new one.
WARNING:
• When the DPF filter has been damaged, stop the
tractor, switch off the engine and replace the DPF filter
with a new one!
• It is not allowed to drive without an efficient DPF
filter!
• For safety reasons, have the DPF replaced by your
dealer
Switch for manual activation of the DPF forced
regeneration and active regeneration disable switch
"DPF On / Off" switch (see figure below) is located on the
side panel - on the right side of the operator's seat.
(2) (1) (3)
The regeneration switch has three positions:
 Position (1): default, factory set:
when no part of the switch is pressed, automatic
regeneration of the DPF filter is possible
 Position (2): DPF regeneration enabled:
pressing this part of the switch and holding it for 3 to 5
seconds initiates the forced regeneration of the DPF,
 Position (3): Automatic DPF regeneration disabled:
pressing this part of the switch and holding it for 3 to 5
seconds immediately stops automatic regeneration of
the DPF filter;
6. Differential lock
If during the field work one of the rear wheels starts to
slip (there is small difference in rotational speed) engage
the differential lock by pressing the differential lock pedal
down firmly.
In case one of the wheels is slipping significantly (there is
considerable difference in rotational speed), proceed as
follows:
• depress the clutch pedal fully,
• engage the differential lock by pressing its pedal
down,
• release the clutch pedal slowly, while maintaining
foot pressure on the differential lock pedal.
To disengage the differential lock, release the pedal. If
the lock fails to disengage, steer slightly to either left or
right or depress for a moment one of the brake pedals
(independent).
WARNING:
• Do not attempt to engage the differential lock
with one wheel spinning fast and the other
stopped.
• Do not attempt to turn with the lock engaged.
7. Hydrostatic steering system
The hydrostatic steering system consists of: control valve
which is fitted to the end of the steering column, oil
pump, oil filter, double acting hydraulic ram and
hydraulic hoses. Transmission oil is used in the system.
The hydrostatic steering must work smoothly within the
whole range of operation. Any jamming or jerking of the
steering wheel as well as soft operation of the system
when turning to both sides, is not permissible. Signs of air
presence in the system and any pipework vibrations are
not permissible too. With the engine stopped, the system
must operate correctly.
WARNING:
Never operate the tractor if the steering system has
developed a leakage.
8. Front wheel drive
Drive transmission to the front wheels takes place from
the gears (in the drop box) through the drive shaft, final
drive and planetary final reduction units.
1 tractor, ensure that the trailer air braking system has

clutch pedal is unnecessary.
C-385 model
In C-385 model, the drive to the front axle is engaged
electro-hydraulically by means of switch 1 ( Fig. D.6) with
the engine running. The use of clutch pedal is
unnecessary.
IMPORTANT:
Do not operate the tractor in four wheel drive on the
road (with the exception of the uphill driving), as this
may lead to premature front tires wear and excessive
fuel consumption.
9. Brakes
The C-380 model is equipped with mechanically actuated
brakes whilst the C-385 with hydraulic control.
WARNING:
• Before driving on the public roads, always latch the
brake pedals together.
• When the tractor is operated for stationary work,
even if only for short periods, always engage the
parking brake.
• Independent braking may only be used to assist
turning at headlands of a tractor with mounted
implements.
The C-380 and C-385 models can be equipped with the
trailer air braking installation.
The trailer air brakes are controlled by means of the
tractor braking pedals or by the parking brake lever and
are synchronized with the action of the tractor brakes.
The tractor air installation includes two circuits which can
be used depending on the type of the trailer air braking
system:
• single-line system – black coupler (Fig. D.49),
• double-line system, red and yellow couplers (Fig. D49),
When attaching a trailer, or trailed machines to the
been coupled.
To connect the trailer single-line braking system to the
tractor braking system, proceed as follows:
• engage the parking brake (this will cause the air
pressure in the hose drop down to the atmospheric
pressure,
• couple the trailer and tractor air coupler,
• release the parking brake.
To engage the air compressor in C-380 model, depress
the pushbutton 1 - (Fig. D.5) at the R.H. side of the
steering wheel.
IMPORTANT:
The air compressor should be engaged with the
engine stopped or when running at low idle speed.
The air compressor of C-385 model is drven directly from
engine timing gearset, therefore it can not be
disengaged.
WARNING:
• Never start towing the trailer with the warning
light 1 – (Fig.D1) illuminating.
• Do not disengage the air compressor when the
trailer air braking system is in use (with the
trailer coupled to the tractor, etc.).
• Never change the position of the air coupler
sockets as shown in Fig. D49.
10. Ventilation, heating, and air conditioning system

In work:
The Draft control lever can be moved slightly to suit
varying soil conditions.
Turn the Sensitivity control knob slowly towards
„HIGH” to such impulse that an even implement working
depth is maintained.
If it is impossible to maintain an even depth or the im-
plement moves up and down erratically turn the

For raising and then lowering the implement at the
headland, use position control lever 3 so as to maintain
the same Draft control setting.
Leaving work and transport:
Move the Draft control lever to the back position.
NOTE:
• the top link provides draft load sensing when
operating in Draft control,
• when using the Draft control, the Position control
lever should all the time remain in the extreme front
position,
• after setting the Draft control lever in extreme front
position, linkage “Floating position” is obtained.
POSITION CONTROL
To control this function, the lever 3 (Fig. E.8) is used.
Type of work:
• attaching/detaching of the implements to/from the
three-point linkage,
• other operations which require the implement to be
kept at a constant height.

prevent this, a combined operation of Draft and Position
controls should be used.
To this end, engage the implement to the required depth
using the Draft control. Then gradually move the Position
control lever towards the rear until the lift arms slight
rise is noticed.
Afterwards the lift will be operating in Draft control and
when less resistant soil is encountered, excessive
penetration of the implement into the soil will not occur.
For raising and then lowering the implement at the
headlands, use position control lever only.
SENSTIVITY CONTROL (when using Draft Control)

13. External hydraulics
The functions of the external hydraulics are:
• to supply single-acting and double-acting rams of
machines and equipment cooperating with the tractor,
• to power hydraulic motors.
Oil supply
The tractor hydraulics is supplied with oil by the gear
type pump which is fitted „in tandem" with hydrostatic
steering pump and is driven by the engine timing drive
train. The pump sucks the oil through the suction filter
from the rear axle housing (on its R.H. side) and directs it
through the non-return valve to the system including
hydraulic ram and external hydraulics.
13.1 . External hydraulics controls
The tractor is fitted with two ( or three as option) spool
valves located at the cabin rear plate. The control levers
A, B and C (if fitted) (Fig. E.14) of the spool valves are
situated at the R.H. side of the seat.
The labels at the lever guides indicate oil pressure
availability at the take-off points (Fig. E.13) depending on
the position of the control levers.

Spool valve A is of 4-position type (with floating position)
for single- and double acting rams. The spool B is of
3-postion type for double acting rams only.
Each spool valve has two take-off points (sockets) which
are of self-sealing and quick release type and implement
hoses can be coupled or uncoupled, without any loss of
oil. To this end, with the engine shut off, the oil pressure
in the respective spool valve should be relieved by
moving its control lever forward and backwards.

14. Three-point linkage system

IMPORTANT:
 When driving the tractor with rear-mounted
implement, ensure its correct adjustment to avoid
excessive side swinging which may lead to a damage
to the tractor and/or to the implement.
 Before turning at the headland, raise the implement
and then lower it after the tractor starts moving in a
straight line.
 Before you leave the tractor, lower the implement to
the ground.
 When servicing or attaching/detaching implements
to/from the three-point linkage, keep a safe distance
from the linkage system.
Fig. E.17 – Top link
a) Top link
The top link is fitted with a barrel turnbuckle enabling its
length to the adjusted.
WARNING:
Do not, in any circumstances, attempt to pull or tow
from the top link connection.
b) Lower links
May have ends with ball joints or hooks.
Depending on the needs, the lift rods can be attached to
the lower links in different positions (Fig. E.18). For
normal applications the lift rod should be connected as
shown in the figure. When using wide implements or
with supporting wheel, the lift rods are to be fastened in
elongated holes, so as to enable free vertical sliding of
the lower links.
The maximum lift capacity at lower links is given in the
“Technical specification” section.

c) Tube stabilizers
Fig. E.20 – Tube stabilizer
The stabilizers prevent the implement from side swing
through the full range of the linkage travel.
For ease of adjustment, the sliding components of
stabilizers should be graased.
Stabilizer adjustment:
• raise the implement into the transport position, then
adjust the length of the stabilizers, so that the linkage
can travel through its full range without straining
them,
• before working with soil engaging implements, the
stabilizers must be adjusted to allow a total imple-
ment side swing of 110 mm measured at the im-
plement cross-shaft ends, i.e. 55 mm of movement
either side of the tractor centre line.
IMPORTANT:
After each adjustment of the stabilizers, check the

14.1 Attachment/detachment of implements to/from
the three-point linkage system
Links with standard ball ends
To attach an implement:
• remove the height adjustable transport hitch to
prevent the top link knocking against it,
• back the tractor to the implement aligning the ends of
lower links with the implement hitch pins,
• place the Draft control lever in extreme front
position.
• using the Position control lever, raise or lower the
linkage until the L.H. lower link ball end is in line with
the L.H. implement hitch pin,
• apply the parking brake, shut the engine off and
remove the key before dismounting the tractor,
• position the end of the left hand lower link over the
implement hitch pin and secure with a lynch pin,
• if required, adjust the height of the right hand lower
link and attach to the implement hitch pin.
• attach the top link to the top or bottom bracket hole
(depending on the implement frame height - see the
table below) and then to the implement cross shaft
adjusting the length as necessary. Secure with the pin
and the lynch pin.
Top link attachment Suitable for the implement
point to the bracket frame height
Upper hole 560 mm and above
Bottom hole From 460 to 560 mm
The use of higher hole than recommended decreases the
hydraulic system sensitivity and may cause an excessively
slow response of the system to the implement working
depth (Draft control). At the same time it diminishes
controllability of the hydraulic system, which may result
in uneven implement soil engagement.
Using a lower hole, than recommended, will give
opposite result, also detrimentally affecting the quality of
work.
IMPORTANT:
 Adjust the R.H. lift rod to its normal operating
length, until the implement is level in transversal
plane.
 Adjust the top link until the implement is level in
longitudinal plane of the tractor.
 The three-point linkage and the implement design
ensure the PTO free zone. Attention must, however,
be paid when attaching a non-standard implement
to ensure that there is adequate clearance and no
possibility of implement rubbing against the linkage
or any other parts, through the full range of the
linkage travel.
To detach:
• select a level area to detach the implement,
• Iower the implement to the ground using the Position
control lever. If needed, use the lift rod adjustment to
level the implement with the ground,
• apply the parking brake,

Key to the Fig. F.1:
1. Engine oil filler with oil dipstick secured to the filler
cap.
2. Drain plugs (on both sides).
3. Engine oil filter.
The oil level must be maintained between the MIN and
the MAX marks on the dipstick. After stopping the
engine, time must be allowed for the oil to settle in the
sump. Note that during the oil level check, the tractor
must be standing on level ground.
IMPORTANT:
operating the engine with the oil level above the upper
notch on the oil dipstick may cause the oil foaming by
the rotating crankshaft thus leading to a deterioration
of its lubricating properties. As a result a loss of the
engine power may appear.
The oil should be changed after work, when the engine is
warm. This allows that the waste particles that are
suspended in the oil to be drained properly.
WARNING:
extreme caution should be used when draining hot
engine oil. Severe burns can result if the skin comes
Into a contact with hot oil.
To change the oil, proceed as follows:
• park the tractor on level ground,
• place the drain pan beneath the drain plugs,
• carefully remove the engine sump drain plugs with
o-rings,
• check the condition of the o-ring; replace, if
necessary,

5. Fuel System
Utmost care must be taken to keep fuel clean and to
service the fuel system components at the recommended
intervals. For fuel handling and storage refer to „Fuel
handling and storage" in this section.
Use hand protecting cream when servicing the fuel
system. Use appropriate plugs or protective tapes to
protect open fuel connections after removal of
connecting elements. Do not use cotton wastes, or rags
turning to cotton fly, for cleaning fuel connections.
For the grade of recommended fuel oil, see G2 section in
this book.
Water separator
The water separator is a part of preliminary fuel filter and
is intended to remove larger dirt particles from the fuel
and to collect water, which should regularly be drained
from the bowl.
Check the water separator every 10 hours of
service, or daily and remove water and
sediments, if necessary.

• on refitment, tighten the nuts progressively to a
torque of:
- disc to axle hub: 245 - 310 Nm
- rim to disc: 160 - 180 Nm.
WARNING:
where tires with liquid ballast are used, a crane may be
required to manoeuvre the wheels, due to their con-
siderable weight.
After the wheels have been refitted, their
fastenings should be retightened twice at ten
hour intervals (or at 2 hour intervals if on heavy
work).
Check the front and rear wheel nuts/bolts
tightening every 100 hours of service and
when water ballasting is used - every 10
hours, or daily. Check the tire pressures every
10 hours.
Recommended pressures:
for field operations: 110-110 kPa
for road work: 140-160 kPa
9.3. Instructions on correct use of tires.
• When mounting wheels, always cover bolt threads with
oil, then tighten nuts with the recommended torque.

WARNING:
tire changes can only be performed by qualified
personnel with the appropriate equipment and
technical knowledge. Tire changes performed by
unqualified personnel may lead to serious injuries,
serious damage to the tires, or deformation of wheel
rim.
• tread and ply rating or load index, must match. Do not
fit a radial tire one side and a cross ply tire on the
other,
• check that the tire pressures are correct for the
particular operation to be performed. In certain condi-
tions the pressures may be Iowered, particularly where
the loads are Iight, or the soil is very humid, resulting in
the tyre tread failing to self clean. If the tire pressures
are reduced, have someone observe the tractor whilst
working. Rippling of the sidewalls can cause rapid and
severe tire damage,
• do not exceed (20 km/h) on the road, if the tyre
pressures have been Iowered for plowing,
• keep oil, grease and strong alkaline or acid fertilizers
away from the tires to prevent deterioration of the
rubber,
• have any small sidewall, or tread splits, or cuts
revulcanized as soon after they occur as possible. This
extends the life of the tire,
• for maximum efficiency, if plowing with cross ply tires,
never use tires more than a third to half worn.
10. Main clutch
When the tractor enters service, or has new clutch linings
fitted, the clutch must be carefully bedded in. See
„Running in" in “General Information” section.
After the running in period has been
completed, check the clutch pedal free
travel every 100 hours of service and
adjust, if necessary.
The clutch pedal free travel as measured on the clutch
pedal foot should be 20-25 mm.
With the time of use the clutch pedal free travel
gradually decreases due to the clutch plate lining wear. If
decreased significantly, the clutch tends to slip, which
causes rapid wear and/or severe clutch damage
(overheating).

11. Power take-off (PTO) clutch
After the running in period has been
completed, check the clutch lever free
travel every 100 hours and adjust, if
necessary.
With the time of use the clutch lever free travel gradually
decreases due to the clutch plate lining wear. If
decreased significantly, the clutch tends to slip, which
causes rapid wear and/or severe clutch damage
(overheating).
The free travel of the PTO clutch control lever is the
range of its movement between its lower position and
the point at which the force required to pull it increases
noticeably.
The free travel of the PTO clutch lever measured at the
end of the lever should be equal to 30 - 40 mm.
The free travel of the lever is adjusted by changing the

The tractor is equipped with single- and double line

trailer air braking control system.
The diagram and description of the system is given
below.(Fig. F.37).

Fig. F.42 - C-385 air compressor

2
Fig. F.40 - Diagram of the trailer air braking control
system

a) Air compressor 1 (Fig. F.40)

The air compressor draws cleaned air from the air
delivery pipe to the turbocharger. Air pressure of 1,1 to
1,4 MPa is maintained between the air compressor
Fig. F.43 – C-380 air compressor v-belt adjustment
and the relief valve.
The air compressor is lubricated with the engine oil
supplied from the engine main gallery. WARNING:
To engage the air compressor in C-380, press the bottom never disengage the air compressor when the trailer
part of the push button 1 (Fig. D.5). air braking system is in use (with the trailer coupled to
the tractor, etc.).
52

Check the air compressor v-belt tension every
100 hours of service.
To adjust the ribbed belt tension (Fig. F.43):
• stop the engine and slacken the nut 2,
• reposition the air compressor until correct tension is
achieved,
• retighten the securing nuts 2,
• check for correct adjustment.
IMPORTANT:
• With a new v-belt fitted, check its tension after a few
hours of operation and adjust, if necessary.
b) Air pressure test point (2 - Fig. F.40)
Air pressure test point is used to inflate the tires as well
as for checking the pressure maintained by the air
compressor.
To inflate the tire, connect the test point to the tire valve
by means of rubber tubing, start the engine and inflate
the tire to the recommended pressure.
IMPORTANT:
as the maximum compressor delivered pressure can
reach 1,4 MPa, therefore, when inflating the tire,
ensure that the permissible tire pressure is not
exceeded.
c) Pressure relief valve with safety valve (3 and 4 -Fig.
F.40)
Relief valve reduces the air pressure so that the
components of tractor and trailer air braking system
could operate correctly.
The relief valve is fitted with a safety valve, which limits
the maximum air pressure in the trailer air braking
system.
The relieve valve has also a built-in check valve which
enables one-way feeding of the air reservoir with the air
compressor operating and prevents the air pressure
dropping e.g. when the engine is not running.
The relief valve with safety valve does not require any
servicing. If any, this should be done by your Dealer.
d) Drain valve 5 (Fig. F.40)
Fig. F.44 - Drain valve
Remove any condensed water from the air
reservoir (through the drain valve) every
10 hours of service , or daily.
This operation consists in pressing the protruding valve
pin (Fig. F.44). With the pin depressed, while escaping,
the compressed air will remove the water.
53
e) Air pressure warning light 6 (Fig.F.40)
It is located in the instrument panel 1 (Fg. D.1)
f) Air reservoir 8 (Fig. F.40) and Fig. F.44
The capacity of the air reservoir is 15 Iitres. It ensures the
compressed air supply to the trailer air braking system
and prevents fast pressure drop in the system (when the
trailer air brakes are used frequently).
At every tractor inspection, ensure that the air reservoir
is firmly secured. If any cracks, indents etc. are found, it
should immediately be replaced by a new one.
WARNING:
no repairs of the air reservoir are permitted. Any way
of use of the air reservoir different from the described
in this book must be consulted with your Dealer.
Clean the air reservoir thoroughly after 1600
hours, or after the first two years of service,
and then every 800 hours, or once a year.
Have this operation done by your Dealer.
g) Air pressure sender unit 11 (Fig. F.40)
When air pressure in the trailer air braking system drops
below 0.39 ± 0.019 MPa,then the sender will activate the
air pressure drop warning light 1(Fig. D.1).
h) Air pressure gauge 12 (Fig. F.40) and LCD display
Air pressure in the air reservoir can be displayed on the
LCD.
i) Air flow direction change-over valve 9 (Fig. F.40)
This valve is used to changing-over the direction of air
flow depending on the type of brakes of a trailer.
It does not require periodical maintenance, and if any
adjustment is required, have it carried out by your
Dealer.
j) Trailer air braking control valve 10 (Fig. F.40).
This control valve serves for actuating the trailer air
brakes. The trailer braking performance is proportional
to the load applied to the brake pedal.
As the braking force increases, in case of single-line
system, progressive air pressure drop in the hose
connecting the trailer to the tractor, due to the air
escaping through the valve, is registered.
In case of double-line system, the valve serves also to
decreasing the air pressure in the trailer air brakes.
It does not require periodical maintenance and, if any
adjustment is required, have it carried out by your
Dealer.
Have the trailer braking control valve
adjusted by your Dealer every 400 hours of
service .
After each adjustment of tractor brakes, have the trailer
air braking control system (if fitted) inspected and
adjusted, if necessary.
WARNING:
• adjust the trailer air braking control system
obligatorily after each tractor braking system
 adjustment,
• due to the importance of the braking system for the
safety of the traffic, adhere strictly to the terms of
the braking system adjustments and have them
adjusted by your Dealer and especially when the
tractor is equipped with the trailer air braking
control system.

17.2. Cabin air filter
Clean the cab air filter every 100 hours of
service.
Clean every 10 hours, or daily if operated
in heavy dust conditions.
Fig. F.46 – Access to the cabin air filter
To remove and clean the air filter, proceed as follows
(Fig. F.46):
• remove the bolts and then the filter cover,
• slacken the securing nuts, release the handles and
pull the filter element out,
• clean the filter element by knocking It against a dry
horizontal surface (the surface of the filter element
made of perforated metal sheet or grill), then, blow
on the filter element with compressed air at a
pressure not exceeding 0,7 MPa and keeping the
nozzle at a reasonable distance from the element.
The air stream should be directed opposite to this of
air flow in normal operation,
• before refitting the filter element, wipe out its
compartment with a damp cloth to remove the
remaining dust particles,
• refit the filter element correctly to ensure proper air
flow and tightness,
• tighten the handles and refit the filter cover.
If the filter element is moist and the above cleaning
procedure gives no satisfactory results, wash it in warm
(about 30°C) solution of water and non-foaming
detergent for automatic washing machine. Soak the
element in solution for about 10 minutes and then
agitate the element is solution to help remove the dirt.
Ensure the element is rinsed thoroughly in clean water,
then shake off water and allow 12 hours for the filter to
dry, After drying, inspect the element for holes or tears
by looking through it towards a bright Iight and
particularly check for damaged gasket.
IMPORTANT:
Do not wash the filter more than 10 times.
Replace the cabin air filter after every 800
hours of service, or yearly.
17.3. Fastening of the cabin
Tighten the bolts fastening the cabin every
200 hours of service.
The tightening torques of bolts fastening the cabin are as
follows:
• for M16 bolts 160...210 Nm,
• for M12 bolts 72...96 Nm,
• for M10 bolts 40...56 Nm.
WARNING:
• Do NOT weld any elements to the structure of the
cabin.
• No holes may be drilled in the cabin structure (e.g.
for mounting additional side mirrors).
• Do NOT modify the cabin in any way without the
manufacturer's consent or replace its parts with
parts other than factory parts.
• Do NOT attach or install any devices or tools
cooperating with the tractor either directly or
indirectly to/on the cabin without the
manufacturer's explicit consent.
17.4 Air conditioning (AC)
Check the AC condenser for cleanliness every
10 hours of service, or daily and clean, if
necessary.
Check the tension of the ribbed belt of the AC
compressor every 100 hours of service and
adjust, if necessary.
The AC compressor is ribbed belt driven. Correct
deflection of the belt is 7... 10 mm with the belt
depressed by hand (approx. 25N) midway between the
compressor pulley and the fan pulley.
Fig. F.47 – AC compressor
Using the AC, check once a month
connections of the AC lines and the amount of
the refrigerant in the system.
WARNING:
In order to avoid personal injuries:
• do not expose eyes or skin to direct contact with the
55
refrigerant, because this may cause frostbite,
• never disconnect any part of the AC system. In case
of need, consult your Dealer for assistance and
service.
ATTENTION:
With a new ribbed belt fitted, check its tension after a
dozen and so hours of operation and adjust, if necessary.
If the AC system operates incorrectly, check the amount
of refrigerant in the system.
To this end:
• start the engine and set its speed to 1500…1600 rpm,
• switch on the AC system,
• set the blower control knob to the maximum blow,
• set the air recirculation control knob to the maximum
recirculation,
• look into the sight gauge (Fig. F.45) to assess the level
of the refrigerant in the system.
Little or no air bubbles in the refrigerant flow indicates
the system is filled correctly.
Lots of air bubbles in the refrigerant flow or foam passing
continuously indicates the amount of the refrigerant is
insufficient for proper operation of the AC system.
In such a case, ask your Dealer for filling the system with
the R134a refrigerant.

18.1. Battery
ATTENTION:
Lead-acid type battery has been described in this manual.
If another type of battery has been applied, adhere to
the operating instructions of its manufacturer.
WARNING:
Before servicing the electrical system, disconnect the
battery negative (-) cable first.
When reconnecting the battery, connect positive (+)
cable first, then negative (-) ground cable onto the
battery.
Battery isolation switch
Fig. F.49 – Battery isolation switch
It is located at the R.H. side of the engine
IMPORTANT:
If the tractor is not in use, remove the key of the
isolation switch and keep it together with the starter
switch key.
WARNING:
They of the isolation switch can be removed after a
minimum of 60 seconds after the engine stops.
The battery is located under the steps at the R.H. side of
the tractor. To gain access to it, undo the bolts and
remove the cover.
Fig. F. 50 – The battery location
The battery consists of 6 cells accommodated in a
common container. The fillers for replenishing each cell
to the correct electrolyte level have threaded plugs.
Check the electrolyte level every 100 hours
of service, or every two weeks In summer
and once a month in winter and replenish
as necessary and add electrolyte, if
necessary.
The electrolyte level in each cell should be 8 to 10 mm
above the internal plates, and can be measured with
glass tube. If the level is too low, replenish each cell to
the required level with distilled water.
Excessive water evaporation from the battery indicates
there is malfunction in the battery charging system (e.g.
the voltage regulator is damaged).
56
Check the electrolyte concentration and
clean the battery terminals every 200
hours of service.
At regular intervals, clean the battery terminals and
cable ends, then smear them with petroleum jelly (to
ensure good conductivity). Keep the battery top clean.
To ensure proper battery performance, check also at
regular intervals the electrolyte concentration so that
the battery charge level could be defined.

If the battery is found discharged to 50% or more, it
should be recharged until the signs of full battery charge
are evident (intensive gas emission) and the electrolyte
concentration, as measured three times at 1 hour
interval, is constant. This is very important with the
ambient temperatures very Iow. With the battery
discharged to 50% or more, the freezing point of the
electrolyte is -24°C. This may lead to the destruction of
the battery.
WARNING:
Keep all sparks and flames away from the battery and
especially when recharging, as hydrogen and oxygen
form very explosive mixture.
When there are long breaks in tractor operation, the
battery is to be charged to full charge at least once a
month. If symptoms of insufficient battery charging are
noticed, the charging voltage (with the engine running)
should be measured. The correct charging voltage, as
measured on the battery terminals, should be 13,9 to
14,5 V.
Check the electrical cables for chaffing on
tractor elements every 100 hours of
service..
18.2. Alternator
The alternator is ribbed belt driven from the crankshaft
pulley.
Check the alternator ribbed belt tension

19. Headlight adjustment
Fig. F.53 – Headlight adjustment
Headlights are adjusted by screwing the screws (Fig. F.53)
in or out as needed.
Headlight beam setting:
• adjust the tire pressures,
• position the tractor on a level ground and facing just by
a shaded wall or screen,
• draw two crosses on the screen, the centre of them
representing the distance „A" between the headlights
and their height „B" (Fig. F.54),
• back the tractor 5 m away from the screen, switch the
dipped headlights on and check whether the line
separating the illuminated part of the screen from the
not illuminated is 50 mm below the cross marks on the
screen. The „P” points indicate the sites of light line
refraction.
• correct the difference, if any, by means of the adjuster
screws ( Fig. F.50).
Fig. F.54 - Headlight configuration diagram
To make the reading of the separating line easier, adjust
each headlight individually, by obscuring the other.

ATTENTION:
due to the importance of the correct headlight setting to
the driving safety, it is recommended that the 1
adjustment be done with the use of diagnostics 2
instruments. 1

H - MISCELLANEOUS
1. Handling and fuel storage
The service life the engine and fuel system assemblies
depends to a great extent on the fuel cleanliness. The
utmost care must be taken by user to keep fuel clean,
free of mechanical and chemical dirtiness and first of all
of water.
The following advice is offered to promote satisfactory
fuel handling and storage.
a) Never use galvanized containers.
b) Never clean the inside of container, or other fuel
system components with a fluffy cloth.
c) The size of the storage tank should be so selected that
the intervals between drainage and refilling are not
too long. The capacity of the tank should be just
sufficient for the size of farm.
d) The storage tank (Fig. H.1) should be under cover and
supported on the cradle high enough for tractor fuel
tank to be filled by gravity. It should have a suitable
manhole cover to provide access for cleaning. The
outlet tap should be about 75 mm above the bottom
of the tank to allow water and sludge to settle. It
should have a removable strainer. The tank inIet
should be fitted with a detachable meshscreen filter.
There should be a fall of about 40 mm per meter
towards the sludge drain plug.
Fig. H.1 - Correct positioning of the fuel storage tank.
Utmost care should be taken to maintain the injection
pump. Its precise elements are particularly sensitive to a
corrosion which causes seizing of these elements.
Remember that the best way to protect the injection
pump from corrosion is the use of fuel absolutely clean
and free of water. Non-observance of the
recommendations relating to the fuel cleanliness or
neglecting injection pump maintenance when the pump
is not to be used for some considerable time may lead to
the corrosion of the inner pump elements, and resulting
in the pump seizure involving high costs of repair.
3. Use of tractor during the winter
During the autumn and winter period, tractor working
conditions are subject to change due to low ambient
temperatures. Because of this, the tractor is to be pre
prepared for operation appropriately. If the tractor is not
lubricated with multi-viscosity oils, the engine lubrication
and tractor chassis lubrication oils are to be changed to
winter oils, and winter fuel oil is to be used to power the
engine, in accordance with the operator manual.
Before the onset of frosts and chilly weather, thoroughly
clean the fuel tank from the sediment found at its
bottom. There is always some water in this sediment,
which freezes and may cause clogging of fuel lines at low
temperatures. During winter operation, always follow the
full fuel tank rule, because a full tank prevents the
condensation of the water vapour in the air on its walls.
Due to difficult working conditions, batteries, injectors,
and additional start-up devices (if they are installed in the
tractor) must be fully efficient before the winter.
During the winter period, remember to use coolant
adapted for work at low temperatures in the cooling
system.
After starting the engine in freezing weather, do not
subject it to load until it heats up. When the tractor is
stationary, warm up the engine at medium speeds from
time to time.
