CAUTION
After the first 50 hours of work, replace the oil in the
sump (operation no. 27) together with the relevant
filter (operation no. 31) and the oil filter cartridge for
the hydraulic lift (operation no. 30).
CAUTION
When using diesel fuel, pay attention to the following:
Do not smoke when near diesel fuel. Under no
circumstances must petrol, alcohol, or a mixture of
diesel or alcohol be added to the diesel, as it increases
the risk of fire or explosion considerably. In a closed
container, such as a jerry can, they are more explosive
than pure petrol. Do not use these mixtures.
Furthermore, a mixture of diesel and alcohol is not
recommended as it does not lubricate the fuel injection
system adequately. Clean the area around the filler
cap and keep it clean. Fill the tank at the end of every
day to reduce overnight condensation. Never
remove the cap or add fuel when the engine is
running. While the tank is being filled, keep control of
the filler nozzle. Do not fill the tank completely. Leave
room for an expansion. If the filler cap is lost, replace
it with a genuine cap and screw it on tight. Mop up any
fuel spillage immediately.
FUEL SPECIFICATIONS
The quality of fuel used is an important factor for the
engine's subsequent performance and satisfactory
service life. Fuel must be clean, properly refined and
must not corrode the fuel system parts. Ensure that
good quality fuel is used from a reliable source.

TRACTOR REFUELLING
CAUTION
Carry out the operations illustrated in this section at
the specified intervals to ensure that your tractor
functions properly. Remember, however, to carry out
inspections
and
adjustments
experience and common sense dictates, (frequency
can vary depending on working and environmental
conditions).
FUEL STORAGE
Take all necessary precautions to ensure that stored
fuel is not contaminated by dirt, water or any other
substance.
Store fuel in black iron drums, not zinc drums as
•
the zinc coating reacts with the fuel and forms
compounds which contaminate the injection
pump and injectors.
Protect the storage drums from direct sunlight
•
and tilt them slightly so that sediment inside can
be removed through a suitable drainage point.
To facilitate removal of damp and sediment, fit a
•
drainage plug at the lowest point on the opposite
end to the outlet pipe.
If the fuel is not filtered from the storage drum,
•
use a funnel with a fine mesh filter when pouring
the fuel into the tractor tank.
Organise your fuel purchases so that summer
•
fuel is not kept for too long and then used in
winter.
REFUELLING
Before refuelling, clean the area around the tank fill
point to prevent foreign matter entering the tank.
After refuelling replace the cap and tighten it fully.
NOTE: The fuel tank holds 92 litres ( 24.3 U.S. gal.)
NOTE: If the fuel tank cap should be lost or damaged,
replace it with a genuine replacement part.
