Page 14 Operating Instructions Instructions for Operation • The installed equipment must conform to the applica- ble EMC directive 89/336/EU and carry the CE symbol. • If you must install a mobile communications system (or have it installed) (eg radio, mobile telephone), the following requirements must be met: Only approved equipment (eg BTZ approval in Germa- ny) may be installed.
Page 15 C 9700 ... C 9.88 H let them come in contact with hot engine parts as fire can result. Hydraulic Oil, Brake Fluid During tractor operation, these fluids are under pressure and a health hazard. Do not spill these fluids! Remove any spilled fluid at once with an oil binding agent and discard as specified.
Page 16 Operating Instructions Instructions for Operation particles in the exhaust gases can cause cancer. For this reason the engine may not be operated in enclosed spaces. Heat The exhaust gases are very hot and can ignite inflammable material. The exhaust gas pipe should therefore be kept away from ignitable material.

Page 80 Operating Instructions Operation Engaging the Differential Lock NOTE With the differential lock you can improve traction on soft , slippery ground. The lock is engaged when the engine speed is over 1000 rpm. You can keep the differential lock engaged steadily and also only briefly by toggling the switch momentarily.
Page 81 C 9700 ... C 9.88 H Steering The articulated steering is operated hydraulically. The wheels also stay in track in curves, so that implements are guided without any lateral offset. Steering Turn the steering wheel (1) in the desired direction. The possible turning radii depend on the tires and track widths of your tractor.
Page 82 Operating Instructions Operation Engaging the Parking Brake ATTENTION The parking brake is not intended to be used for braking while driving. Pull the parking brake lever (2) up. The parking brake is engaged, the parking brake indicator (3) in the multi-function display comes on red.
Page 83 C 9700 ... C 9.88 H Driving on Slopes DANGER Driving on slopes is dangerous as the tractor can tip over if the centre of gravity exceeds the tip-over limit on an extreme slope. The following factors reduce the hazard: small or no load low ground speed low gradient...
Page 85 C 9700 ... C 9.88 H Special Operating Instructions Stationary Operation The tractor can be used for stationary operation, for example, to drive a water pump via the PTO shaft. ATTENTION Place the tractor on level ground in both directions. Attach the stationary equipment to the PTO shaft (1).
Page 86: Special Operating Instructions
Operating Instructions Special Operating Instructions Adjusting the Track Width You can widen the track width of the tractor by adding spacers. You have a choice of 3 different spacers. DANGER Observe the safety notes on safe parking and jacking up for the wheel change in the maintenance manual.

Page 93 C 9700 ... C 9.88 H Attaching Implements The various implements are attached to the front lift or rear lift*. There are 2 different fastening categories: Category I Pin diameter 22 mm Category II Pin diameter 28 mm The tractor can be adjusted to both categories by adjusting the catch hook bars and providing the catch hooks with or without reducer sleeves.
Page 94 Operating Instructions Operating the Implements Adjusting Catch Hook and Catch Hook Bar You can adjust the catch hook laterally and longitudinally. Measure the stand-off of the pins on your implement. Disengage the clamping screws (6) on both sides. Slide the catch hook laterally until the required distance is reached.
Page 95 C 9700 ... C 9.88 H Adjusting the Upper Link and Upper Link Mount The height of the upper link mount can be adjusted. The required height depends on your implement. 1 Upper link support 2 Retaining spring 3 Top link pin 4 Height adjustment lever 5 Upper link mount Raise the height adjustment lever (4).
Page 96 Operating Instructions Operating the Implements Coupling Hydraulic Lines ATTENTION The hydraulic couplings on the tractor must be without hydraulic pressure before the connection. The couplings on the tractor and the hydraulic hoses must be clean. NOTE Each implement has different functions and hydraulic lines for its control.
Page 97 C 9700 ... C 9.88 H Installing the Cardan Shafts Only use the shafts suited and intended for the implement. The shafts are supplied with the implement. The length of the articulated shaft must adjusted before the first installation. In case of doubt, please contact our customer service.

Page 108 Operating Instructions Operating the Implements Operating the PTO DANGER The PTO clutch lever (3) must be turned off. To turn it off, it must be put in the horizontal position. Start the engine. Select the required PTO rpm with the PTO selector lever (2).
Page 109 C 9700 ... C 9.88 H Engaging the Front PTO ATTENTION Never engage the PTO with the engine off. DANGER Before engaging the PTO, make sure no-one is standing close enough to the tractor and the driven implement to be hurt. Pull the PTO clutch lever (3) quickly to the vertical position.
Page 110 Operating Instructions Operating the Implements Engaging the Rear PTO NOTE The rear PTO can be engaged with PTO selector lever (4) located at the articulated joint. The lever positions are shown on the plate (5). PTO selector lever (3) must be turned off. Move PTO selector lever (4) up to engage the rear PTO.
Page 111 C 9700 ... C 9.88 H Operating the Hydraulic Carrier* (Power Lifter) 1 Pressure adjuster 2 ON-OFF plate 3 Star knob for turning on/off The hydraulic carrier allows for a weight compensation between implement and tractor. This increases the axle load and the climbing ability is improved.
Page 112 Operating Instructions Operating the Implements Road Travel with Carrier NOTE Do not raise the implement completely to allow the shock absorption to be effective. Operation with Carrier NOTE If the implement adapts to uneven ground with delay, turn the pressure adjuster (1) back until the pressure is reduced.
Page 113 The variable pump for the implements is a device for driving attachments with a high hydraulic power demand such as a spiral-bladed lawn mower. It draws its oil from the working hydraulics tank with a filling quantity of approx. 45 litres and is controlled from the driver's station.
Page 114 Operating Instructions Operating the Implements ATTENTION Increase the engine speed, but then increase the oil flow only slowly. Turn the rotary knob (5) to adjust the oil flow from 0 to 100 litres/min until the desired flow rate for the imple- ment is reached.
Page 115 C 9700 ... C 9.88 H Operating the Power Hydraulics* ( 75 L Fixed Flow) The power hydraulic system is used for driving attachments with a fixed hydraulic power demand. It draws the oil from the working hydraulics tank and is controlled from the driver's station.
Page 116 Operating Instructions Operating the Implements ATTENTION If the implement is no longer used, turn off the power hydraulics starting safety switch to prevent any unnecessary overheating of the hydraulic oil. Never leave the power hydraulic system on: when the engine is running without a load connected to the couplings or not in operation, when driving without needing oil.
