1. General 1.1 Safety information GUID-3C35D58D-1F5D-4B85-A915-C7BB48F47262 [V1] 1.1.1 A word to the technician Read and understand the safety section in this service manual before operating or servicing the machine. Read and understand the safety sections in the manuals for all attachments before operating or servicing attachments.
1. General GUID-96F0DBC2-FDAB-4BE2-A442-8D57B94A81B4 [V1] 1.1.2 Service manual WARNING: Some pictures in the manual show the shields removed to permit a clearer view. Never operate the machine with any shields removed. This service manual has been prepared with the latest service information available at publication. Read and understand the service manual carefully before doing any service on the machine.
Keep the safety signs clean. If necessary, use a weak soap and water solution. GUID-F9D59F68-8014-4549-B346-3FE8D9739D94 [V2] 1.1.7 Important safety information IMPORTANT: Any Modifications to the machine or systems not authorized by AGCO will void the AGCO Warranty. This includes, but is not limited to hitches. WARNING:...
1. General GUID-45723AC0-5E25-4FA2-BB74-FF22568B117F [V3] 1.1.8 General hazard information CAUTION: Carefully read the operator's manual before operating the machine. See all instructions and safety rules when operating or doing maintenance. GUID-FE6A41D4-536F-4C0D-BE60-FA0CCDEEB171-high.jpg [High] Fig. 4 Do not start the engine until the area is free of personnel.
The maximum air pressure for cleaning purposes must be below 205 kPa (30 psi). GUID-DABC7CAA-9A08-4236-A20C-E92972E9FAB3 [V1] 1.1.10 Asbestos information AGCO equipment and replacement parts are asbestos free. AGCO recommends the use of only correct AGCO replacement parts. GUID-8A44CF3B-7FC0-4A49-8BDF-71575A27E588 [V1] 1.1.11 Electrical storm injury prevention When lightning is striking in the vicinity of the machine, the operator should not attempt to dismount or mount the machine.
1. General GUID-344A454E-7D26-49D5-9AB4-3FEEFA88AFD5 [V3] 1.1.13 Before you start the engine Start the engine only from the operator compartment. Never short across the starter terminals or batteries. Shorting can damage electrical system or cause unexpected machine movement. Adjust the seat so full pedal travel can be achieved with operator's back against seat back.
1. General Only operate the machine while in the operator's seat. Securely fasten the seat belt while operating the machine. Only operate the controls while the engine is operating. Check for the correct operation of all the controls and the protective devices. As a warning honk the horn twice to alert others in the area to prevent personal injury because of machine movement.
Do not change structure by welding, cutting, adding weight, or drilling holes into structure. Any change not specifically authorized by AGCO invalidates AGCO certification for ROPS. The protection offered by ROPS will be impaired if ROPS has structural damage or alteration. Damage to structure can be caused by a turn over or by falling objects.
1. General GUID-1527F9B5-890D-4E6F-AA25-C4A364C27BA9 [V2] 1.1.21 Burn prevention Do not touch any part of an operating engine. Other components such as the transmission, the axles and the oil reservoir can also be hot. Let the engine cool before performing any maintenance on the engine.
1. General DANGER: Diesel fuel or hydraulic fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin or eyes. This can cause serious personal injury, blindness, or death. GUID-E76BB0CD-67F0-40CD-A4CC-D6B27E9CDCCE [V2] 1.1.25 Fluid penetration Always use a board or cardboard when checking for a leak. Leaking fluid under pressure can penetrate the body tissue.
1. General Wash hands after touching batteries and connectors. WARNING: Batteries contain electrolyte which is an acid that can cause personal injury. Do not let the electrolyte contact the skin or eyes. Always wear protective glasses for servicing batteries. GUID-6942F6BB-021E-47D8-8B36-8FB6CB6088DB-high.jpg [High] Fig.
