  • Page 8: Running In

    Operation - Driving controls Running in There are no strict running in rules for the Ford DLD diesel engine. However, do not treat it harshly during the first fifty hours running. Avoid consistently high speeds above 3000 rpm but do not let the engine labour. There should always be a positive response from the throttle.
  • Page 9: Stopping Engine

    Operation – Controls Stopping engine Before stopping engine ensure vehicle has completely stopped and then apply handbrake.. Allow engine to slow idle for at least 10 seconds before stopping particularly if you have been running at high engine revs to avoid damage to the turbo-charger bearings. If the engine stalls at any point, try to restart immediately.
  • Page 10: Throttle

    Operation - Transmission Hand throttle Throttle The Agribuggy is normally fitted with a hand throttle inside the cab above the throttle pedal. It is not possible to use a hand throttle for field use due to type of fuel pump fitted to the engine.
  • Page 11: Braking System

    Operating - Foot brakes Braking system As a safety precaution, the hydraulic braking system operates through dual circuits. If one circuit should fail, the other will continue to function, but increased pedal travel and longer stopping distances will be experienced. A warning light on the dashboard (see page 9) will warn you of low brake fluid.
  • Page 12: Arag Sprayer Monitor

    Operating – Spray monitor / Hydraulic PTO Arrag Bravo 3000 Monitor PTO speed / shaft speed / ground speed These functions are all displayed on the Arrag Bravo 3000 monitor please see the separate manual for set-up and operating instructions. Instrumentation The remaining instruments and warning lights on the steering column that have not already been mentioned are self-explanatory (see page 9).
  • Page 13: Spool Valves

The decals behind the levers indicate the normal control functions for spray boom folding. There are normally 4 fitted as standard which can be any combination of single and double acting spools.
  • Page 14: Air Conditioning/Ventilation

    Operating - Cab ventilation Operation To operate the fan, turn the LH switch in the panel clockwise until you find the most preferred of the three speeds. The adjustable vents in the console can be directed to wherever you require the air. To reduce the temperature of the air, turn the RH switch clockwise until the cab temperature is reduced as required.

    - 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.

    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 20: Changing Oil Filter

    Maintenance - Changing engine Oil 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 21: Drive Belt

    Maintenance - Drive belts & hydraulic drive Ancilliary drive belt The Ford DLD engine uses a 'serpentine' type drive belt, which drives all the ancillaries and 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.
  • Page 22: Cooling System - Grills/Cooling Fans

    Maintenance - Cooling system Cooling system The engine cooling system will only work correctly if air can pass freely through the radiator. It is therefore most important that all the air intake grills, outlet grills and the radiator itself are kept clean and free from any build-up of dust, pollen or chaff.
  • Page 23: Cooling System - Coolant/Air Bleeding

    Maintenance - Fuel system Coolant replacement & air bleeding After two years the cooling system must be flushed out and coolant replaced. When the coolant is replaced or if a high quantity of coolant has to be used for topping up then care must be taken to ensure the system is free from air.
  • Page 24: Fuel System - Filter/Bleeding

    The camshaft drive belt should be replaced as a matter of course every 1200 hours. This routine work can be carried out by either Kellands Agricultural or by some of our main dealers and agents.

  • Page 30: Handbrake

    Maintenance – Brakes Handbrake Adjustment 1. Chock the wheels and ensure the brake lever is off. 2. Raise one of the front wheels clear of the ground and support the axle with an axle stand. 3. Adjust the cable (at A) until the brake disc will not rotate by hand.
  • Page 31: Clutch

    The linkage from the brake pedal to the master cylinder should be lubricated regularly. The brakes are all self adjusting discs and only need to be checked for wear periodically. Have the pads replaced before they get right down to "bare metal". If you use your Agribuggy to spread a lot of fertiliser, inspect the metal brake pipes regularly for signs of corrosion and replace if necessary.
  • Page 32: Axle Swivel Housings

    There is a grease nipple on the steering ram which require greasing periodically (see illustration). Please note on four wheel steer machines the front and rear steering systems are not connected in any way - either mechanically or hydraulically. See appendix 1 for further information on the four wheel steering system.

    The axle oil should be changed every 1200hrs. Wheel Bearings If wheel bearing play is evident adjust as follows: Rear wheels 1. Jack up off floor and fit axle stands. 2. Remove 5 studs securing drive flange. 3. Pull off drive flange complete with half shaft. 4.
  • Page 34: Tyres

    Tyres The low pressure tyres are normally preset at 10 psi (0.7 bar). The pressure may be reduced in adverse conditions to as low as 6 psi (0.4 bar) depending on the load being carried. However the main thing to watch is that the tyre side walls do not crease when loaded.
