Introduction; Pre-Delivery Installation On The Farm And Warranty - MASSEY FERGUSON 410 Operators Instruction Book

Introduction

Introduction
NOTE: This book is published for worldwide
distribution, and the availability of equipment shown
either as basic or accessory may vary according to
the territory in which the tractor is to be operated.
Full details of equipment available in your area can
be obtained from your Massey Ferguson Dealer. Use
only Massey Ferguson approved attachments
and equipment.
The purpose of this book is to enable the owner and
driver to operate the tractor in a safe manner. Providing
that the instructions are followed carefully, the tractor
will give years of service in the tradition of Massey
Ferguson. The installation of the product on the farm
by the Dealer gives the opportunity to ensure that
these operating and maintenance instructions are
understood. Always consult your Dealer if you do not
understand any part of this book. It is important that
these instructions are understood and observed.
Daily maintenance should become a routine, and a
record of hours in service should be kept.
When new parts are required it is important that only
genuine Massey Ferguson service parts are used.
Massey Ferguson Dealers supply genuine parts and
can give advice regarding their fitment and use.
Extensive damage may occur as a result of the fitment
of parts of inferior quality. Customers are advised to
buy their service parts only from an authorized Massey
Ferguson Dealer.
Owing to wide variations in operating conditions, it
is impossible for the Company to make
comprehensive or definitive statements in its
publications regarding performance or methods of
use of its machines, or to accept liability for any loss
or damage which may result from these statements,
or from any errors or omissions. If the tractor is to be
used for abnormal conditions which may be
detrimental, (e.g. deep water or paddy fields)
consult your Massey Ferguson Dealer for special
instructions, or the warranty may be invalidated.
These tractors are designed solely for use in
customary agricultural operations (intended use).
*Use in any other way is considered as contrary
to the intended use. Massey Ferguson accepts no
liability for any damage or injury resulting from
misuse and these risks must be borne solely by
the user.
Compliance with, and strict adherence to, the
conditions of operation, service and repair as specified
by Massey Ferguson also constitute essential
elements for the intended use.
These tractors should be operated, serviced and
repaired only by persons familiar with all their particular
characteristics and who are acquainted with the
relevant safety rules (accident prevention). Customers
are strongly advised to use an official Massey
Ferguson Dealer in connection with any service
problems and adjustments that may occur.

Pre-delivery installation on the farm and Warranty

The Company, when selling new goods to their
Dealers, gives a warranty which, subject to certain
conditions, guarantees that the goods are free from
defects in material and workmanship. Since this book
is published for worldwide circulation, it is impossible
to detail the exact terms and conditions of warranty
that apply to a retail customer in any particular country.
Purchasers of new Massey Ferguson equipment
should request full details from their supplying Dealer.
In accordance with the Company's policy of
continuous improvement to its machines, alterations
in the specifications of machines may be made at
any time without notice. The Company accepts no
responsibility for discrepancies which may occur
between the specifications of its machines and the
descriptions thereof contained in its publications.
Pre-delivery and Installation on the farm
A Dealer is required to carry out certain activities
when supplying a new Massey Ferguson tractor.
These consist of a full pre-delivery inspection to
ensure that the tractor supplied is ready for immediate
use, and to give full instruction in the basic principles
of operation and maintenance of the tractor. These
instructions will cover instruments and controls, routine
maintenance and safety precautions. All persons
who will be concerned with the operation and
maintenance of the machine should be present during
this instruction period.
NOTE: Massey Ferguson will not accept responsibility
for any claim resulting from the fitment of non-
approved parts or attachments, or unauthorized
modification or alteration.
Warranty procedure
Correct installation on the farm, coupled with regular
maintenance, will do much to prevent breakdowns.
If, however, operating trouble is experienced during
the warranty period, the following procedure must
be adopted:
*Immediately notify the Dealer from whom you
purchased the tractor, quoting the Model and Serial
Number. It is most important that there should be
no delay, and you should realize that, even where
the original failure is covered by warranty, if the
failure is not repaired immediately, warranty cover
may not apply.
*Provide your Dealer with as much background
information as you can. It will help him to know
how many hours service has been achieved, the
type of work on which you are engaged and the
symptoms of the trouble.
It should be noted that normal maintenance services
such as tuning, brake/clutch adjustments, and the
supply of materials used to service the tractor (oil,
filters, fuel and antifreeze) are not covered by the
terms of warranty.
