SECTION 1 -- GENERAL INFORMATION AND SAFETY

ECOLOGY AND THE ENVIRONMENT


Soil, air and water are vital factors of agriculture and
life in general. Where legislation does not yet rule the
treatment of some of the substances which are
required by advanced technology, common sense
should govern the use and disposal of products of a
chemical and petrochemical nature.
The following are recommendations which may be of
assistance:

Become acquainted with and ensure that you


understand the relative legislation applicable to
your country.
Where no legislation exists, obtain information
from suppliers of oils, filters, batteries, fuels,
cleaning agents, etc., with regard to their effect
on man and nature and how to safely store, use
and dispose off these substances.

HELPFUL HINTS

3. Modern oils contain additives. Do not burn


contaminated fuels and/or waste oils in ordinary
heating systems.
4. Avoid spillage when draining off used engine
coolant mixtures, engine, gearbox and hydraulic
oils, brake fluids, etc. Do not mix drained brake
fluids or fuels with lubricants. Store them safely
until they can be disposed off in a proper way to
comply with local legislation and available
resources.
5. Modern coolant mixtures, i.e. antifreeze and
other additives, should be replaced every two
years. They should not be allowed to get into the
soil but should be collected and disposed off
safely.
6. Repair any leaks or defects in the engine cooling
or hydraulic system immediately.

1. Avoid filling tanks using open containers or


inappropriate pressurised fuel delivery systems
which may cause excessive spillage.

7. Do not increase the pressure in a pressurised


circuit as this may lead to the component
exploding.

2. In general, avoid skin contact with all fuels, oils,


acids, solvents, etc. Most of them contain
substances which can be harmful to your health.

8. Protect hoses during welding as penetrating


weld splatter may burn a hole or weaken them,
causing the loss of oils, coolant, etc.

SECTION 1 -- GENERAL INFORMATION AND SAFETY


DRIVING THE TRACTOR
1. Always sit in the drivers seat while starting or
driving the tractor.
2. When driving on public roads, have
consideration for other road users. Pull in to the
left side of the road occasionally to allow any
following traffic to pass. Do not exceed the legal
speed limit set for agricultural tractors.
3. Dip the tractor lights when meeting a vehicle at
night. Make sure the lights are adjusted to
prevent blinding the driver of an oncoming
vehicle.
4. Reduce speed before turning or applying the
brakes. Brake both wheels simultaneously when
making an emergency stop. Ensure that both
brake pedals are locked together when travelling
at road speeds or when on public roads ensure
correct operation of trailer brakes.

7. Any towed vehicle whose total weight exceeds


that of the towing tractor must be equipped with
brakes for safe operation.
8. Never try to apply the differential lock when
turning. When engaged, the differential lock will
prevent the tractor from turning.
9. Always check overhead clearance, especially
when transporting the tractor. Watch where you
are going, especially at row ends, on roads and
around trees and low overhanging obstacles.
10. To avoid overturns, drive the tractor with care and
at speeds compatible with safety, especially
when operating over rough ground, when
crossing ditches or slopes and when turning
corners.

5. Use extreme caution and avoid hard application


of the tractor brakes when towing heavy loads at
road speeds.
6. Keep the tractor in the same gear when going
downhill as would be used when going uphill. Do
not coast or freewheel down hills.
11. Use extreme caution when operating on steep
slopes.
12. If the tractor becomes stuck or the tyres are
frozen to the ground, reverse the tractor out to
prevent overturning.

SECTION 1 -- GENERAL INFORMATION AND SAFETY


5. To prevent fire or explosion, keep open flames
away from battery or cold weather starting aids.
To prevent sparks which could cause explosion,
use jumper cables according to instructions.
6. Hydraulic fluid and fuel oil in the injection system
operate under high pressure. Escaping hydraulic
fluid or fuel oil under pressure can penetrate the
skin causing serious injury. Unqualified persons
should not remove or attempt to adjust a pump,
injector, nozzle or any other part of the fuel
injection or hydraulic systems. Failure to follow
these instructions can result in serious injury.

Do not use your hand to check for leaks. Use a


piece of cardboard or paper to search for leaks.

Stop the engine and relieve pressure before


connecting or disconnecting lines.

10. Dispose of all drained fluids and removed filters


properly.
11. Tractor wheels are very heavy. Handle with care
and ensure, when stored, that they cannot topple
and cause injury.
DIESEL FUEL
1. Under no circumstances should gasoline,
alcohol or blended fuels be added to diesel fuel.
These combinations can create an increased fire
or explosive hazard. In a closed container such
as a fuel tank these blends are more explosive
than pure gasoline. Do not use these blends.
2. Never remove the fuel cap or refuel with the
engine running or hot.

3. Do not smoke while refuelling the tractor or when


standing near fuel. Keep any type of open flame
away.

Tighten all connections before starting the


engine or pressurising lines.

If fluid is injected into the skin obtain medical


attention immediately or gangrene may result.

4. Do not fill the fuel tank to capacity. Fill only to the


bottom of the filler neck to allow room for
expansion.

7. Do not modify or alter or permit anyone else to


modify or alter the tractor or any of its
components or any tractor function without first
consulting an Authorised Dealer.

5. Wipe up spilled fuel immediately. Always tighten


the fuel tank cap securely.

8. Continuous long term contact with used engine


oil may cause skin cancer. Avoid prolonged
contact with used engine oil. Wash skin promptly
with soap and water.

6. If the original fuel tank cap is lost, replace it with


an approved cap. A non--approved cap may not
be safe.
7. Never use fuel for cleaning purpose.

9. Keep equipment clean and properly maintained.

FUEL SAVING TIPS FOR OPTIMUM OUTPUT


Proper maintenance of Tractor reduces fuel
consumption to a greater extent.

8. Follow the running--in procedure given in this


manual for optimum performance of your tractor.

1. Store fuel in properly cleaned, rust and


contamination free containers.

9. Do not run the engine in idle condition for more


than two minutes. It may result in wastage of fuel.

2. Always fill the tank at the end of each day to


reduce overnight condensation of moisture in the
air, in turn to avoid damage to the fuel system.

10. Do not rest your foot on clutch pedal, as this will


cause clutch slippage, loss of engine power and
increased fuel consumption. Maintain the
specified cluctch pedal free play.

3. Fuel filters should be replaced as per


recommended time schedule as the filtering
capacity is not retained after this specified time.
It may allow harmful contamination and damage
the fuel injection system. Follow the service
schedule for draining the water from the filters
and cleaning the feed pump filter.
4. Always use genuine fuel filters available from
your Authorised Dealers.
5. Stop diesel leakage, if any, immediately.
6. Dirt particles entering the engine causes early
wear of liners and piston rings, resulting in loss
of power, engine oil & fuel consumption. Clean
the pre--cleaner bowl daily and change the air
cleaner oil as mentioned in service schedule.
Ensure that there is no leakage through hoses
and the air cleaner bowl seal is in good condition,
keep hose clamps tight.
7. Check the Radiator coolant level daily and
top--up with clean water only. Radiator fins
should always be kept clean. Should it be
necessary to replace radiator cap, use only
genuine cap of the specified pressure . Never try
to remove the thermostat. Check and adjust fan
belt tension regularly. Ignoring these, will result
in engine over heating and heavy diesel
consumption.

1--16

11. Always drive the tractor in proper gear.


12. Use a lower gear while driving down a slope and
use brakes sparingly.
13. Maintain proper tyre pressures for field work as
well as for roadwork. Refer the tyre pressure
chart given in this manual. Worn out tyres
causes wheel slippage and waste fuel. Re--tread
or replace the tyres if they are badly worn out.
Adhere to tyre ballasting as and when required to
reduce wheel slippage and fuel consumption.
14. Always use matching implements to cut down
the diesel wastage. Implements should be
maintained in good condition, as usage of worn
out implements will waste fuel.
15. Always plough length wise and plan your field run
to reduce fuel consumption. Adjust the wheel
track to suit the implement and avoid overlap
when working in the field.
16. When using a PTO driven equipment, operate
the engine at the recommended speed to reduce
fuel consumption.

4 WD (DT)
Using Four--Wheel Drive
Figure 18 & 19
Front--wheel drive can increase the tractors grip on
the surface; the benefits of this are particularly
noticeable when working on uneven, muddy or
slippery surfaces, on ploughed ground or in difficult
conditions.

Front--wheel drive engagement / disengagement is


carried out by means of lever (1) fig. 19 when the
tractor moving slowly and preferably at the low
speeds of the engine.

18

Avoid carrying out this operation under stress. If the


maneouvre proves to be difficult with the tractor
moving in a straight line, keeping the lever in
engaged position, slightly turn the steering wheel in
both directions until the control mechanism engaged.

CAUTION
Do not use front wheel drive on hard surfaces to
prevent premature wear to the front tyres. Abnormal
tyre wear can also be caused by incorrect tyre
pressures.
To engage front--wheel drive push the lever (1) fig. 19
backward

FIELD OPERATION
BEFORE OPERATING

CAUTION
Before driving or operating the tractor, study the
safety precautions in Section 1 of this manual.
Read this section carefully for a thorough
understanding of operational requirements. Even if
you operate other tractors, you should thoroughly
read this section of the manual and ensure that you
are familiar with the location and function of all the
controls of this tractor.
Do not start the engine or attempt to drive or operate
the tractor until you are fully accustomed with all
controls. It is too late to learn once the tractor is
moving. If in doubt about any aspect of operation of
tractor, consult your Authorised Dealer.
See Section 4 for lubrication and maintenance
requirements. Tractor specifications will be found in
Section 7.

SECTION 3 -- FIELD OPERATION


RUNNING--IN PROCEDURE

PRE--OPERATION CHECKS

Your tractor will provide long and dependable service


if given proper care during the first 50--hours
running--in period and if serviced at the
recommended intervals.

Before operating the tractor, ensure that you are


thoroughly familiar with the location and operation of
the controls.

Avoid overloading the engine. Operating in a high


gear under heavy load may cause engine
overloading. Overloading occurs when the engine
will not respond to a throttle increase.
Do not operate the engine without a load. This can
be as harmful to the engine as overloading. Ensure
that the engine is subjected to heavy as well as light
loads during the running--in period.

Perform daily lubrication and maintenance operation


in accordance with Section 4.
After completing the daily maintenance operations,
perform a walk around visual inspection of the
tractor. Pay particular attention and check the
following items:
i.

Fan belt for cracks.

ii. Engine area for accumulation of debris.


Use the lower gears when pulling heavy loads and
avoid continuous operation at constant engine
speeds. Operating the tractor in a low gear with light
load and high engine speed will waste fuel. You will
save fuel and minimise engine wear by selecting the
correct gears for particular operation.
Check the instruments frequently and keep the
radiator and various oil reservoirs filled to the
recommended levels.

3--2

ii. Hoses, lines and fittings for leaks and damages.


iv. Tyres for damage.
v. Hardware for looseness.
vi. Leakage at joints.
Make any necessary repairs before using the tractor.

SECTION 3 -- FIELD OPERATION


TOWING THE TRACTOR
IMPORTANT: The tractor should only be towed a
short distance, such as out of a building. Do not tow
on roadways or as a method of transport.
IMPORTANT: If it is necessary to tow the tractor, all
gear levers must be moved to the neutral position
before stopping the engine otherwise damage to
transmission components may occur during towing.
If creeper gears (reduction gear set) are fitted, then
the selector control must be in the off position.

CARRYING THE TRACTOR ON A


TRANSPORTER
Transport the tractor with all four wheels on a flat bed
trailer or truck. Securely chain the tractor to the
transporter.
IMPORTANT: Do not chain around the four wheel
drive shaft, steering cylinders, front wheel drive axle
or other components that could be damaged by
contacting the chain or by heavy loading.
Use the drawbar hanger for a rear tie down point.

Use a strong chain when towing the tractor. Tow the


tractor from the rear using only the drawbar, rear tow
hitch or the three--point hitch. Tow the tractor from the
front using the tow pin in the front weights or front
support. Have an operator steer and brake the
tractor.
To avoid damaging the transmission or other
components that turn but are not lubricated during
towing, observe the following

Only tow a short distance

Keep speed below 5 MPH (8km/h)

If possible, run the engine to provide lubrication


to the transmission and power steering.

CAUTION
Do not tow the tractor faster than 8 Km/h (5MPH).
The steering is much slower and steering wheel
effort is much greater without the engine running.

WARNING
Do not use cables or rope to tow the tractor. If the
cable or rope breaks or slips, it may whip with
sufficient force to cause serious injury. When using
a chain, attach the chain with the hook open side
facing up. If the hook slips, it will drop down instead
of flying up.
NOTE: Four wheel drive will be engaged if the engine
is not running, regardless of the position of the 4WD
activation lever.

SECTION 3 -- FIELD OPERATION


STARTING THE TRACTOR USING JUMP
LEADS (BOOSTER CABLES)
Figure 1

--

WARNING
Always sit in the drivers seat to operate the starter.
If the key--start switch is by--passed and the tractor
has been left in gear, sudden and unexpected
movement of the tractor or a tractor runaway may
result which could cause serious injury. Wear eye
protection when starting the tractor with jump leads
or when charging the battery.

--

1
If it is necessary to use jump leads (booster cables)
to start the tractor, use only heavy duty leads (Refer
to Figure 1) and proceed as follows:

Connect one end of the red jump lead to the


tractor battery positive (+) terminal and the other
end to the auxilary battery positive (+) terminal.

Connect one end of the black jump lead to the


tractor battery negative (--) terminal and the other
end to the auxilliary battery negative (--) terminal.
Follow the starting procedure previously
described.

When the engine starts allow it to run at idle rpm.


Turn on all electrical equipment (lights, etc.) then
disconnect the jump leads, negative (black)
first then positive (red). This will help protect the
alternator from possible damage due to changes
in load.

IMPORTANT: When using an auxillary battery to


start the engine, ensure that the polarity of the jump
leads is correct -- positive to positive, negative to
negative, otherwise the alternator may be damaged.
Only use an auxiiary battery if the tractor batteries
are discharged. Excessive amperage (above 1600
cca) may damage the starting motor. In the event of
the batteries being severly discharged, such that
terminal voltage is below 7 volts, recovery will require
a special charging procedure. See your authorised

The lower links are raised and lowered by means of


the lift rods (2) connected to the lift arms . The RH lift
rod is readily adjusted to ease the attachment of
implements and to level the implement after
attaching.
The top link (3) is connected to a bracket on the
hydraulic lift housing. The rear of the top link should
be connected to the upper hitch pin of a mounted
implement. The top link is also adjustable to aid
implement setting.

WARNING
Always use Position control Lever when attaching,
detaching or transporting equipment, when no
equipment is attached to the tractor, or at any time
when not actually using the Draft control Lever.

Front Wheel Toe--in
Figure 48
After resetting the track width, the front wheel toe--in
may require adjustment. For correct operation, the
front wheels should be parallel or toe--in slightly.
To measure the toe in proceed as follows:
IMPORTANT: Incorrect toe--in setting may result in
abnormal wear of front tyres.
Measure the distance(1) between the wheel rims at
hub height at the front of the wheels. Rotate both
front wheels 180_ and check the measurements
again, this time at the rear of the wheels (2). This will
eliminate wheel rim run--out errors. The correct
toe--in setting is 0 -- 5 mm, i.e. the measurement
taken at the front of the rims should be the same as
the rear or be smaller by up to 5 mm.

CAUTION
Tractor wheels are very heavy. Handle with care and
ensure, when stored, they can not topple and cause
injury.
Rear wheel track adjustment is effected by changing
the wheel rim relative to the centre disc, the rim
and/or the disc relative to the axle hub or by
interchanging the rear wheels.

The sectioned drawings shown in the table illustrate


the wheel rim and disc positions viewed from rear of
the tractor relative to the hub at various track width
settings. Track width (the distance between the
centre of the tyres ) are nominal and may vary by as
much as 13 mm.

C
IMPORTANT: When interchanging left and right
wheel assemblies, ensure the V of the tyre tread
remains pointing in the direction of forward travel of
tractor for better grip.
NOTE: With certain options and/or tyre sizes
narrower track settings may not be possible due to
minimal clearance between tyres and fenders or
equipment.

When refitting or adjusting a wheel, tighten the bolts

SECTION 3 -- FIELD OPERATION

BALLASTING AND TYRES


Selecting ballast

For maximum tractor performance in heavy draft


conditions weight should be added to the tractor in the
form of liquid ballast, cast iron weights or combination
of both.

When tractor horsepower loads vary the optimum


weight of the tractor will change. This means that
ballast may have to be added or removed to maintain
the best tractor performance. Proper ballast will
greatly improve tractor operation and ride.

Front end ballast may be required for stability and


steering control when weight is transfered from the
front to the rear wheels as the implement is raised by
the tractor three--point linkage.

The amount of ballast required is effected by

When a rear mounted implement is raised to the


transport position, the weight on the front wheels
should be at least 20% of total tractor weight.

3--32

Add front--end ballast as required, for stability during


operation and transport. Ballasting of the front end
may not always provide adequate stability if the
tractor is operated at high speed on rough ground.
Reduce tractor speed and be cautious under these
conditions.
When using front mounted equipment, it may be
necessary to add weight to the rear wheels to
maintain traction and stability.
IMPORTANT: Only sufficient weight should be
added to provide traction and stability. Adding more
weight than necessary results in unnecessary loads
being put on the tractor and higher fuel consumption.
When adding weight adhere to the maximum tyre
capacity loading stated in the tables at the end of this
Section, Page 3--36. If further information or
assistance is required on tractor weighing consult
your Authorised Dealer.

WARNING
If proper stability cannot be achieved within the
following weighting limitations, reduce the load on
tractor until stability is restored

SECTION 3 - FIELD OPERATION


Ballast Limitations
Ballast should be limited by the tyre capacity or
tractor capacity. Each tyre has a recommended
carrying capacity, which should not be exceeded
(see page 3-36)
IMPORTANT: Do not exceed the tractor gross
vehicle weight of 2800 Kg of NH TT55 & 3600 Kg of
NHTT75 model. This can cause overload condition
that may invalidate the warranty and may exceed
the load rating of the tyres. The maximum
recommended gross vehicle weight is the weight of
the tractor plus ballast plus any mounted
equipment/implement in the raised position.

CAST IRON WEIGHTS (If fitted)


Rear Wheel weights

Filling the rear tyres with liquid ballast is a convenient
method of adding weight.
Plain water is recommended in normal ambient
temperature (above freezing point) or solution of
calcium chloride and water is recommended in low
ambient temperature (below freezing point). Solution
of 0.6 Kg Calcium Chloride per litre of water will give
protection from freezing down to an ambient
temperature of --50_C (--58_F)
Special equipment is required to water ballast tyres.
See your Authorised New Holland Dealer for details.
The Table below shows the quantity of plain water,

will lead to early tyre failure.
Do not exceed the load for the pressures listed. Do
not over or under inflate the tyre.

Do not inflate steering tyres above the


manufaturers maximum pressure shown on the
tyre or beyond the maximum shown in the Tyre
Pressure and Load tables if the tyre is not
marked with the maximum pressure.

Do not inflate a tyre that has been run flat or


seriously under--inflated until it has been
inspected for damage by a qualified person.

Torque wheel bolts to specification after


re--installing the wheel. Check nut tightness daily
until torque stabilises.

Refer to TRACTOR BALLASTING section,


page 3--32 before adding ballast to the tyres.

Ensure the jack is placed on a firm, level surface.

Ensure the jack has adequate capacity of lifting


your tractor.

Use jack stands or other suitable blocking to


support the tractor while repairing tyres.

Do not put any part of your body under the tractor


or start the engine while the tractor is on the jack.

Never hit a tyre or rim with a hammer.

Ensure the rim is clean and free of rust or


damage. Do not weld, braze, otherwise repair or
use a damaged rim.

Do not inflate a tyre unless the rim is mounted


on the tractor or is secured so that it will not move
if the tyre or rim should suddenly fail.

DANGER
Inflating or servicing tyres can be dangerous.
Whenever possible, trained personnel should be
called in to service or install tyres. In any event, to

To avoid the possibility of tyre creep (movement of the tyre on the rim), tyre pressure below 0.9 bar should not
be used with cross ply tyres for operations having a high torque requirement, e.g. sub--soiling, heavy transport,
etc. When mounted implements are used on tractor, loads may be increased by 20% with no increase in inflation
pressure, if operated at speeds upto 6 Kmph.
For haulage service, it is recommended that the tyre be inflated to the maximum pressure stipulated in the table.

a quick reference guide when servicing the tractor.

FUELLING THE TRACTOR


CAUTION
When handling diesel fuel, observe the following:
Do not smoke around diesel fuel. Under no
circumstances should petrol, alcohol or kerosene be
added to diesel fuel because of increased fire or
explosion risks. In a closed container such as fuel
tank, they are more explosive than pure petrol. DO
NOT use these blends.

Clean the filler cap area and keep it free from


debris

The fuel tank should always be topped up at end


of each day to reduce overnight condensation.

Never take the cap off or refuel with engine


running.

Keep control of the fuel nozzle while filling the


tank.

Dont fill the tank to capacity. Allow room for


expansion. If the original fuel tank cap is lost,
replace it with genuine original cap and tighten
securely.

Wipe up spilled fuel immediately

PREVENTING SYSTEM CONTAMINATION


To prevent contamination when changing oils, filters,
etc., always clean the area around the filler caps,
level and drain plugs, dipsticks and filters prior to
removal. To prevent dirt entry during greasing, wipe
dirt from the grease fittings before greasing. Wipe
excess grease from the fitting after greasing.

SECTION 4 -- LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE


FUEL REQUIREMENTS
The quality of fuel used is an important factor for
dependable performance and satisfactory engine
life. Fuels must be clean, well--refined and
non--corrosive to fuel system parts. Be sure to use
fuel of a known quality from a reputable supplier.
Use Number 2--D in temperatures above --7_C
(20_F)
Use Number 1--D in temperatures below --7_C

NOTE: When long periods of idiling or cold weather


conditions below 0_C(32_F) are encountered or
when continuously operating at an altitude above
5,000 ft. (1500 m) use Number 1--D fuel.
Using diesel fuel with sulphur content above 0.5%
requires more frequent oil and filter changes as
noted in the maintenance schedule.
The use of diesel fuel with a sulphur content above
1.3% is not recommended.
For the best fuel economy, use Number 2--D fuel
whenever temperatures allow.
Do not use Number 2--D fuel at temperatures below
--7_C (20_F). The cold temperatures will cause the
fuel to thicken, which may prevent the engine from
running (If this happens, contact your authorised
New Holland dealer.)
To be sure that a fuel meets the required properties,
enlist the aid of a reputable fuel oil supplier. The
responsibility for clean fuel lies with the fuel supplier
as well as the fuel user.

* When continually operating at low temperatures or


high altitude, a minimum cetane rating of 45 is
required.

SECTION 4 -- LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE


FUEL STORAGE
Take the following precautions to ensure that the
stored fuel is kept free of dirt, water and other
contaminants.
1. Store the fuel in black iron tanks, not galvanised
tanks, as the zinc coating will react with the fuel
and form compounds that will contaminate the
injection pump and injectors.
2. Install bulk storage tanks away from direct
sunlight Fig. 1. Keep the tank slightly tilted fig. 2
so that the sediments will settle away from the
outlet pipe.
1
3. To facilitate moisture and sediment removal
provide a drain plug at the lowest point at the end
opposite the outlet pipe.
4. If fuel is not filtered from the storage tank, put a
funnel with a fine mesh screen in the fuel tank
filler neck when refuelling.
5. Arrange fuel purchase so summer grade fuels
are not held over & used in winter.

FILLING THE FUEL TANK


Clean the area around the fuel filler cap to
prevent dirt from entering tank and
contaminating the fuel.
Remove the cap and place in a clean area during
refuelling.
After filling the tank, replace and tighten the fuel
cap.
Important:Always replace a lost or damaged cap
with a genuine, original equipment replacement cap.

SECTION 4 -- LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE

EVERY 10 HOURS OF OPERATION


OR DAILY (Which ever occurs first)
Carry Out the following checks:
OPERATION 1
Check Engine Oil Level
Figure 5 & 6
Before checking the oil level, ensure that the tractor
is on level ground, stop the engine and wait for a
short period to allow the oil to drain back into the
sump.
5

Check the oil level by means of the dipstick (1). If the


level is below min. mark, top up with fresh oil after
removing the filler cap.
Fill the oil from filler plug (1) fig 6.Do not fill above the
upper (max.) line. Excessive oil will be burned off
within a short time and give a false impression of oil
consumption.
See Section 7 for the correct oil specifications and
quantity.

CAUTION
To avoid personal injury, always keep your body
parts away from the silencer manifold.
6

OPERATION 2
Check Radiator Coolant Level
Figure 7
Peak power operation, followed by a rapid reduction
in power requirement and engine speed, may cause
the coolant to boil and be discharged from the
radiator overflow tube. Normally, this loss of coolant
is small and of little consequence, but repeated loss
can significantly lower the coolant level and
necessitate topping up.
NOTE: Never use tractor without radiator cap(1) as
this will result into boiling and hence evaporation of
water.

4--7

SECTION 4 -- LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE


OPERATION 3
Clean Air Pre--Cleaner ( If Fitted)

Figure 8
The function of the pre--cleaner is to remove chaff,
straw and the larger airborne material before the air
passes to the air cleaner itself.
Loosen the clamp (1) and remove the pre--cleaner
(2). Clean and dry the complete pre--cleaner
assembly and re--install.

2
8
OPERATION 4
Clean Air Cleaner Oil Bowl
Figure 9
The oil bath air cleaner should be checked daily, or
more often when working in extremely dusty
conditions.
The function of Air Cleaner is to remove impurities
from the air but at the same time allow sufficient
volume of air to enter the engine, to ensure complete
burning of the fuel.
The air cleaner will only fulfil this function if it is
correctly and regularly maintained. A poorly
maintained air cleaner means loss of power,
excessive fuel consumption and a reduction in
engine life.
Release the four over centre catches to loosen the
grip on the air cleaner bowl (1). Remove the bowl
assembly and gauzefilter (2). Visually check the
condition and level of oil in the inner cup of the bowl.
If there is sediment collected, drain the oil and clean
the inner cup and bowl with cloth and re--fill to the
level mark. Do not fill above the level mark.

CHARGING OR WELDING
Precautions
To avoid damage to the electronic/electrical
systems, always observe the following:
1. Never make a break in any of the charging circuit
connections, when the engine is running.
2. Never short any of the charging components to
earth.
3. Do not use a slave battery of higher than 12 volts
nominal voltage.
4. Always observe correct polarity when installing
the battery or using a slave battery to jump start
the engine. Follow the instructions provided in
Section -- 3, Page 3--4 in this manual.
5. Always disconnect the earth cable from the
batteries before carrying out arc welding on the
tractor or on any implement attached to the
tractor.
6. Position the welder earth cable clamp as close to
the welding area as possible.
7. Never allow welding cables to lay on, near or
across any electrical wiring or electronic
component while work is in progress.
8. Always disconnect the negative cable from the
batteries when charging the batteries in the
tractor with a battery charger.

WARNING
Batteries contain sulphuric acid. In case of contact
with skin, flush the affected area with water for five
minutes. Seek medical attention immediately. Avoid
contact with the skin, eyes or clothing. wear eye
protection when working near batteries.

Maintenance of the Battery


1. Batteries should not be allowed to discharge
completely. If the tractor is to be stored for a
period of more than 2 weeks, the battery should
be removed from the tractor and stored in dry
location in a wooden platform. Trickle charge
every 2 to 3 weeks to maintain the battery in good
condition.
2. Ensure that the electrolyte level in all battery cells
is preferably at the maximum level. However, in
general, the level should be between minimum
and maximum marks. Add distiled water, if the
electrolyte level is found below the minimum
level. Do not use well/tap water. Do not top up
with acid.
3. The specific gravity in every cell of the battery
should ideally be between 1.260 -- 1.230. At any
point of time, specific gravity in cells should not
fall below 1.230. If the reading is below 1.230,
then the battery shows symptoms of a
discharged battery. Please refer it to your Battery
Dealer.
4. Always apply the battery terminals with
petroleum jelly (Vaseline) to avoid current
leakage and rusting. Never use grease for the
same purpose.
5. Always disconnect the earth terminals (negative
terminal) of the battery, while carrying out any
repairs on the tractor, especially during welding.
6. Do not crank the engine for more than 10
seconds at one time. Wait for about 30 seconds
and then crank again.
7. Never take any burning object or flame near the
battery.
8. Check tightness of battery securing clamps
periodically. Do not over--tighten as this may
damage the battery case.

Important:

Starter Motor

Protection of the Alternator

1. Starter motor mounting nuts should be tight.

1. Before carrying out any operation on the


alternator please disconnect the battery.

2. Give sufficient time between consecutive starts.

2. Never check the working of the alternator by


connecting positive and negative terminals.
3. Do not run the alternator without battery in the
circuit.
4. Do not use high voltage bulbs as warning light.

LUBRICANTS AND COOLANTS


The correct engine oil viscosity grade is dependent upon
ambient temperature. Refer to the chart on the right when
selecting oil for your tractor engine.
NOTE: In areas where prolonged periods of extreme
temperatures are encountered, local lubricant practices
are acceptable; such as the use of SAE 5W30 in extreme
low temperatures or SAE 50 in extreme high temperatures.
Sulphur in Fuel
The engine oil change period is shown in section 3.
However, locally available fuel may have a high sulphur
content, in which case the engine oil change period should
be adjusted as follows:-Sulphur Content %
Oil Change Period
Below 0.5

Normal

0.5 -- 1.0

Half the normal

above 1.0

One quarter normal.

RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND


APPLICATION
ENGINE OIL
Genuine New Holland
Engine Oil Ambra Supergold

NOTE; The use of fuel with a sulphur content


above 1.3% is not recommended.
