Data Sheet On Tractor's Vibration Level - Hazards Due To Exposure To Vibrations - Valtra F Series Operator's Manual

Towing the vehicle
The best way to move a faulty tractor is to carry it on the bed of a truck. In case of towing need, comply
with the following instructions:
• Start the engine (idle speed)
CAUTION:
If it is not possible to start the engine, consult an authorised workshop to find out the
possibility of towing with the engine off.
• Take reverser lever to neutral.
• Set power take-off to neutral.
• Disengage the hand brake.
• Set the gear and range shift levers to neutral position.
• Make sure the slow or very slow range are disengaged.
IMPORTANT:
Start the engine to ensure transmission lubrication during transport. Maximum engine rpm should be 1000
rpm. The tractor could be towed only under exceptional cases, solely at low speed (below 5 kph) and over a
short distance (below 2000 m). Should it be necessary to cover a longer distance, load and safely anchor
the tractor onto a trailer.
IMPORTANT:
With the engine off, transport the tractor only using a trailer (or transmission risks to seize). Consult an
authorized service center to learn about how to tow the tractor with engine off.
IMPORTANT:
Failure to stick to the above instructions could seriously damage the transmission.
CAUTION:
Avoid injury! Incorrect towing procedures can cause accidents. When towing your
machine, follow the procedure in this manual. Failure to comply could result in death or
serious injury.
Transporting the vehicle on a truck
The best way to move a faulty tractor is to carry it on the bed of a truck. When tractor is in place on the
truck:
• Stop the engine
• Engage the hand brake
• Block the wheels
• Fasten tractor to truck by means of slings or chains. Tractor axles and frame are suitable anchor points
• Ensure all objects are fastened to truck or tractor to avoid any object projection during transport
• Remove the key
Before carrying the tractor on a truck with lowered loading platform or on a flatcar, ensure the hood on
tractor engine is well fastened and that doors, sunroof (if any) and windows are duly closed.
2.3.26 Data sheet on tractor's vibration level - hazards due to exposure to
vibrations
Vibrations transmitted to the body depends on several parameters, some of them are connected to the
machine, some to the ground or surface on which machine runs, and many others are specific to the driver.
Factors concerning the ground surface conditions and speed prevail.
Machine-transmitted vibrations cause inconvenience to the operator and might, in some cases, jeopardise
health and safety. Ensure the machine is in good conditions and that service and maintenance have been
duly carried out at the scheduled intervals. Check tyre pressure and steering and brake efficiency. Check
that the driver's seat and the relevant adjustment devices are in good conditions, then adjust the seat
according to operator's build and weight.
