    to either refuse to carry out the work or to charge for any necessary cleaning. Agricultural chemicals can be very dangerous. Improper selection or use can seriously injure people, animals, plants, the soil or other property. Be safe: select the right chemical for the job. Handle it with care. Follow the instructions on the container label and instructions for the spraying equipment.

    20 secs or starts and then stops, return the key to the off position, wait a few seconds and then repeat the above procedure. 4. Allow engine to idle for a few seconds to allow oil to reach the turbo-charger. Avoid high engine revs until the engine and hydraulic system have warmed up.

This causes unnecessary, excessive pressures in the steering system especially when wide tyres are fitted. For information on the optional four wheel steering system please see appendix 1 towards the rear of this manual.

If excess wheel slip is evident then it should, of course be used. However do not use it unnecessarily. It must be disengaged for all road work.

    - it may then work too fast and damage may result. A purpose made mounting frame is now available from Kellands which carries the later Centreliners on a 3 point linkage. This allows the tilt angle to be altered with a special top link and allows use of the headland tilt facility on the spreader.

    The only drills currently suitable for fitting to the Agribuggy are those of the pneumatic type with lightweight, Suffolk coulter toolbars up to a maximum width of 4 metres. Make sure you follow the safety, operating and maintenance instructions given by the respective drill manufacturer.

  • Page 22: Engine Oil

    If you are unsure of how to carry out any of the maintenance operations please do not hesitate to enlist the help of Kellands Agricultural. Please remember that the Agribuggy is unlike a tractor in many ways and the standard of maintenance needs to be much higher.

  • Page 23: Changing Oil Filter

    NB If it is necessary to check the oil whilst the engine is cold, DO NOT start the engine. Follow the procedure as above and re-check the oil level once the engine has reached working temperature. As a general guide if the level is nearer to the upper mark than the lower one then add no oil If it is nearer the bottom mark than the top one add half a litre.
  • Page 24 Drive belts This engine uses a 'serpentine' type drive belt, which drives all the ancillaries except for the air conditioning compressor. An automatic belt tensioner keeps the belt at the correct tension, thereby eliminating the need to manually check the belt tension. The belt and all pulleys should be examined regularly for any damage, deterioration or fouling with mud, grit or chaff etc.

  • Page 25: Hydraulic Pump Drive

    Hydraulic pump drive The hydraulic pump is driven by a toothed belt from the engine crankshaft. The belt tension and the belt and pulley condition should be checked periodically and replaced if necessary. The belt can be removed by slackening off the four pump mounting bolts and sliding the pump towards the engine.

  • Page 26: Cooling System

    Cooling system The coolant level is visible through the transparent walls of the degas tank. The coolant should be level with the ‘Max’ mark when the engine is cold. DO NOT OVERFILL. Allow engine to cool down until the back of the hand can be held against the cylinder head without discomfort before removing cap.

  • Page 27: Fuel System

    Maintenance - Fuel system Fuel system It is particularly important to keep the fuel system well maintained - If even only slight traces of contamination or water are allowed to get past the Bleed nipple Lift pump filtration system and into the injection pump, the engine performance will be seriously affected and serious damage will be caused to the pump.

  • Page 28: Valve Clearances

    The camshaft drive belt should be replaced as a matter of course every 1000 hours or at two years, which ever occurs first. This routine work can be carried out by Kellands Agricultural Ltd. Special tools are required and the job should not be attempted without these tools and the appropriate service manual.

  • Page 29: Hyd Oil & Filter/Air Cleaning System

    Maintenance - Air cleaning Hydraulic oil Ensure the hydraulic system is kept clean. Be careful when refilling tank. Do not direct high pressure hose at filler/breather cap. Oil level should be kept to top of level/temperature gauge. Use good quality, clean hydraulic oil for topping up only ( I.S.O VG 68 ).

  • Page 30: Intercooler

    Intercooler The intercooler cools the air between the turbocharger and the air inlet of the engine. This is to increase the density of the air so the engine has more oxygen for combustion. It is therefore important that both the air inlet grill on the side of the engine cover and the intercooler radiator are kept clear of dust and debris to maximise the airflow from the electric fan.

  • Page 31: Automatic Transmission

    Use ATF Dexron IID for topping up - top up through the dipstick tube. The oil and the oil filter screen in the bottom of the gearbox should be changed either by Kellands, your dealer or by a Transmission fluid dipstick suitably qualified engineer every 1000 hours.

  • Page 32: Fuses

    Maintenance - Fuses NB. It is most important that all wiring connections in the engine compartment and under the bonnet are protected from the corrosive effects of fertilisers and chemicals. All connections should be frequently checked, cleaned and coated with oil, grease, or other suitable anti-corrosive lubricant. Spare Switches There are two spare switches on the steering column switch bank which can be used for other things such as broadcasters etc.

  • Page 33: Handbrake

    Maintenance - Brakes Handbrake Adjustment 1. Chock the wheels and ensure the brake lever is off. 2. Raise one of the rear wheels clear of the ground and support the axle with an axle stand. 3. Tighten the adjusting bolt (3 right) until brake drum will not rotate by hand.

    Maintenance - Steering Brake servo The Agribuggy braking system has hydraulic servo assistance powered by oil taken from the main hydraulic system on the machine. This should not be confused with the brake fluid reservoir which operates the actual brake calipers (see previous page) Steering The steering on the Agribuggy is hydrostatic with the oil supply for the steering unit being taken from the main hydraulic system...

  • Page 35: Axle Drive Shafts

    Wheel Bearings The wheel bearings should be checked regularly for signs of play. Should any play become evident they can be adjusted by either Kellands, your dealer or by a suitably trained engineer. Axle Oil levels Use EP 85/140 gear oil for topping up the axle oil levels.

  • Page 40: Four Wheel Steering

    Appendix 1 - Four wheel Steering FOUR WHEEL STEERING SYSTEM The four wheel steer system on the Agribuggy is controlled electronically. Signals from sensors mounted on both axles are continually monitored by the electronic control box and a varying signal is sent from the control to an electro-hydraulic proportional valve which, in turn, directs oil to the steering ram on the rear axle to ensure the rear wheels are always kept in the correct position.

  • Page 42 There are two safety systems built into the unit - one in the hydraulic control valve and one in the electronic control box. Should either of the systems detect a fault then one of the green lamps will go out on the control panel and the system will cease operating or ’’lock-out’’.
