THIS MANUAL SHOULD BE KEPT WITH THE
MACHINE AT ALL TIMES AND SHOULD BE READ BY
ALL OPERATORS BEFORE USING, MAINTAINING OR
REPAIRING THE MACHINE
After reading this manual and becoming acquainted with the Agribuggy it is recommended that
you fill the sprayer with water only and have a trial run in a grass or stubble field. It is important
that you get used to all aspects of operating the machine before applying chemicals.
The machine has been designed specifically for crop spraying and fertiliser spreading and
therefore does not come within the scope of the Agriculture (Tractor Cabs) regulations. It should,
therefore, not be used for any other purpose and should not be used for towing or be fitted with
any other equipment unless approved by the manufacturer.
Revised 7/11/95 - Applicable to machines manufactured from Nov 95 - Build No. 5D528 onwards.

  • Page 6: Machine Operation

    Operation Operation Running in. There are no strict running in rules for the Ford XLD 418T diesel engine. However, do not treat it harshly during the first fifty hours running. Avoid consistently high speeds above 3500 rpm but do not let the engine labour.

  • Page 7: Power Steering

    Operation Power steering When turning do not hold the steering tight on full lock as this will cause the relief valve to blow off and the system to overheat. Do not turn the steering whilst the Agribuggy is stationary particularly when on hard surfaces.

    Operation - Ventilation Setting PTO speed The hydraulic pump is geared so that 540 r.p.m. on the PTO is reached at a minimum engine speed of 2400 rpm To set the PTO for 540, or indeed any other required speed, increase the engine speed to approx.

  • Page 17: Row Crop Work

    Operation - Row crops To reduce the temperature of the air, turn the RH switch clockwise until the cab temperature is reduced as required. For maximum efficiency the LH control for the heater should be turned fully anti-clockwise. Remember the chiller will only work when the engine is running at over 1200 rpm. Always keep the cab door closed to keep the cab cool.

    Amazone spreaders. Mounting frames are available for both Amazone ZAU and Amazone ZAM spreaders. A guide is available from T.J. Frazier for setting the spreaders up, however, as with all spreaders, it is advisable to have them tray tested before use.

  • Page 20: Seed Drilling

    Seed Drilling Safety Only seed drill conversions supplied or recommended by T.J. Frazier Ltd. should be fitted to the Agribuggy 5D. Incorrectly fitted drill units will invalidate the manufacturer's warranty, may be hazardous to the operator and may seriously reduce the life of the machine or some of its major components.

  • Page 21: Maintenance & Technical Information

    T.J. Frazier Ltd. All nuts and bolts should be checked for tightness after the first days operation, especially axle u-bolts, wheel nuts and propeller shaft bolts.

  • Page 22: Adjusting Belts

    Maintenance NB either a cranked or flexible ended funnel will be required for filling oil through the rocker cover filler neck. 10. Replace oil filler cap, run engine and check for any leaks from the oil filter. 11. Stop engine, allow oil to settle and top up as necessary. Adjusting drive belts.

    Maintenance Water pump drive belt. 1. Slacken the idler pulley mounting and adjusting bolts (Fig. b1). 2. Move idler pulley to obtain the specified belt tension, then tighten the adjusting and mounting bolts. 3. Re-check tension. Fig. b1 - Water pump drive belt. 1.

  • Page 24: Cooling System

    Maintenance 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 remov- ing cap.

  • Page 25: Fuel System

    Maintenance 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 filtration system and into the injection pump, the engine performance will be seriously affected and serious damage will be caused to the pump leading to very costly repairs.

  • Page 26: Valve Clearances

    The tolerances should be checked as per the maintenance schedule. If adjustment is needed it is recommended that it be done either by a Ford motor dealer, T.J. Frazier or your dealer. (Special tools are required). Tolerances: (cold) Inlet - 0.235 to 0.365 mm Exhaust - 0.435 to 0.565 mm.

  • Page 27: Air Cleaning System

    300 hrs. or 6 months (whichever comes first). The carbon in the filter degenerates after this period of time and becomes ineffective. New filters are available from your supplier or T.J. Frazier. Air conditioning There are no user serviceable parts in the air conditioning system, the only regular maintenance being the servicing of the compressor drive belt - as described earlier in this manual.

  • Page 28: Battery

    Maintenance Battery The battery fitted is ‘maintenance free’ and topping up is not normally required throughout the normal life of the battery. However, the level should still be checked when periodic services are carried out. Ensure terminals are kept clean and protected with petroleum jelly. An isolator switch is fitted to the outside of the battery box near the step for use in emergencies or when any welding is being carried out to the machine.

  • Page 29: Handbrake

    Steering. The steering on the Agribuggy 5D is hydrostatic with the oil supply for the steering unit being taken from the main system. There are therefore no specific oil levels to check. There are grease nipples on the steering ram ball joints which require greasing periodically.

  • Page 30: Brakes

    Maintenance Brakes. The master cylinder is situated under the cab floor. Top up with ‘Universal’ brake fluid to between maximum and minimum marks on the reservoir. The linkage from the brake pedal to the master cylinder should be lubricated regularly. There is also a grease nipple on the lower brake linkage pivot shaft.

  • Page 31: Axle Oil Levels

    Maintenance Axle Oil levels. Use SAE 90/140 gear oil for topping up the following oil levels: Rear axle. The filler/level plug is situated on the front, nearside of the differential housing just behind the transmission brake. There are two plugs on the housing, the top one of which is the correct level. This plug and can also be used for filling.

  • Page 35: Four Wheel Steering

    Appendix 1 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 36 Operating modes Two wheel steer In Two Wheel Steer mode the rear axle position is monitored continually and fine adjustments will be made by the system to ensure the wheels keep straight. All three green lamps must be lit up for this to work correctly.
