Strict observance of safety requirements ensures safe operation of the tractor and

Only persons not younger than 17 years old (this age may differ depending on the
laws of your country) who hold a driving license for tractors of 1.4 and higher traction class

fire prevention instructions and sanitary requirements for dealing with chemicals, rag
wastes and oiled paper.
Before starting to operate the tractor replace special nuts of rear wheel hubs (one at
each hub), used for tractor fastening on a vehicle platform, with the nuts of basic hub con-
figuration, attached to the set of spare parts, tools and accessories. Tighten the nuts with a
torque of 300 to 350 N m. Replace special nuts of front wheels (one at each wheel), used
for tractor fastening on the vehicle platform, with the nuts of basic wheel configuration, at-
tached in the SPTA kit. Tighten the nuts with a torque of 200...250 Nꞏm.

The technical condition of the braking system, steering controls, lighting and indica-
tion devices and the undercarriage shall conform to safety requirements of relevant stand-
ards and the present Manual.
