Operator's Manual
N :
This Operator's Manual is widely published and distributed and the availability of the attachments in-
OTE
dicated, whether fitted to the basic tractor or as an accessory, may vary depending on the country or region
in which the tractor is used. To find out which attachments are available in a given region, contact a Massey
Ferguson dealer.
The purpose of this manual is to enable the owner and the operator to operate the tractor appropriately under
normal conditions of use. Providing they follow the instructions carefully, the tractor will give many years of
service in the Massey Ferguson tradition.
Use for any other activity (particularly forestry work) is considered to be contrary to the intended use.
The commissioning of equipment by the Massey Ferguson dealer on the user's premises enables the dealer
to ensure that these operating and service instructions are properly understood. Always consult the Massey
Ferguson dealer if there is any part of this manual that you do not understand. It is important that these in-
structions are understood and followed.
This manual does not cover all operation and safety instructions relevant to the implements and accessories
that may be fitted at the time of tractor delivery or later. It is essential that operators use and understand the
Operator's Manuals relating to these implements and accessories.
I :
MPORTANT This manual must always be kept with the tractor. For extra copies, contact your Massey Fer-
guson dealer.
This chapter in the Operator's Manual highlights certain basic safety-related situations that may be encoun-
tered during normal operation and servicing of the tractor and provides the information needed to handle
these situations.
This chapter supplements any safety instructions given in other chapters of this manual.
It may be necessary to take additional precautions, depending on the implements and accessories used and
the working conditions on-site or in the service area. Massey Ferguson can under no circumstances exercise
direct control over the commissioning, operation, inspection, lubrication or servicing of the tractor. It is there-
fore YOUR responsibility to take suitable safety precautions in such areas.

ARNING
It is your responsibility to read and understand the instructions that appear in this chapter be-
fore using the tractor. They must then be strictly adhered to throughout the working day.
Servicing, spare parts, accessories and conditions of use
Daily servicing should become a routine, and a logbook of operating hours should be kept.
When spare parts are required, it is important to use only genuine Massey Ferguson parts. Massey Ferguson
dealers supply genuine parts and can offer advice concerning their fitting and use. The use of lower quality
parts may cause serious damage. Customers are advised only to purchase their spare parts from an approved
Massey Ferguson dealer. In the same way, you must only use accessories specifically adapted to your trac-
tor.
Owing to the considerable variation in operating conditions, it is not possible for the manufacturer to formu-
late complete or absolute assertions in its publications concerning the performance or operating methods of
its machines or to accept liability for any loss or damage which may result from such assertions or possible
errors or omissions.
If the tractor is to be used in abnormal conditions which could cause damage (use in deep water or in paddy
fields for instance), you should consult your Massey Ferguson dealer to obtain special instructions to prevent
the warranty from becoming void.
These tractors are designed only for usual farming activities (intended use). Use for any other activity (partic-
ularly forestry work) is considered to be contrary to the intended use.
Strict compliance with the repairs, service and operating conditions as specified by Massey Ferguson is also
an essential component of the intended use.
I :
MPORTANT Massey Ferguson accepts no responsibility in the event of damage to equipment or personal
injury resulting from improper use.
The tractor must only be used, serviced and repaired by personnel who have full knowledge of its specific
features and who are aware of the applicable safety measures (prevention of accidents).
